The government of Britain has for many centuries been shared by three supreme authorities: the Monarch (i.e. the king and Queen), the lords (i.e. the hereditary nobility) and the commons (i.e. the ordinary people). The story of its development has been the story of a gradual shifting of supremacy from the fist of these authorities to the third—in other words a gradual progress towards democracy. Thus the Monarch today is left without any power at all.
This statement may seem surprising in view of the great affection which the British have for Queen Elizabeth, the great ceremonies connected with her, the great state functions over which she presides, the oaths of loyalty made to her by Parliament (国会), and many great decisions made in her name and requiting her authority. It is the Queen who approves the appointment of Ministers and the formation of a cabinet, it is the Queen who summons Parliament and who introduces the new session’ with a speech from the throne in which she summarizes the government’s program; it is the Queen who gives her assent to Bills before they become law, who concludes treaties and declares war, who makes appointments to all offices of States and Church, who dismisses Parliament when the government has been defeated or has reached the end of its term, and who chooses a new Prime Minister. Indeed, she is informed and consulted on every aspect of national life. And yet it remains true that she has no power. For in practice, she acts only on the advice of her Prime Minister, and must be completely impartial.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
选项
A、The development of British government.
B、The supreme power of Queen Elizabeth.
C、The function of Monarch in Britain.
D、The role of British Prime Minister.
答案
C
解析
此题可以采用排除法。A) The development of British government(英国政府的发展),文章第一段谈到了英国政府的发展是从君主极权向民主化发展的过程这一观点,但没有进一步展开论述。B) The supreme power of Queen Elizabeth(伊莉莎白女王的极权),第二段用很大篇幅论述了伊莉莎白女王的权利——负责政府职能,国会对女王效忠,女王任命部长和内阁成员的组成,同意法案,缔结条约和宣战等,但最后两句“And yet it remains true that she has no power, For in practice, she acts only on the advice of her Prime Minister, and must be completely impartial.”说明事实上女王根本没有权利,她只按首相的劝告行事,而且必须绝对公正,因此答案为C。D) The role of British Prime Minister(首相的作用)不是文章主要内容。
