【C8】
选项 A、freedom
B、origin
C、impact
D、reform
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。本题选择名词，在句子中做宾语。“On the issue of 48 of religion and the position ofthe Church…”关于宗教的______和教会地位的问题。A项freedom自由；B项origin起源；C项impact影响；D项reform改革。四个选项代入句子中似乎都合理，确定该题目为语义衔接题。由于前文叙述内容未涉及宗教，所以相关信息在后文。根据后文可知，罗马天主教是西班牙国教，是西班牙王室唯一认可的宗教。多数领导人致力于保留天主教为新国家的官方宗教；而另外一些领导人致力于终结排斥其他宗教的状况。显然，他们在宗教信仰自由问题上产生了分歧。因此，正确答案为A项。
