问题     One of the really startling things about today’s decision on the Affordable Care Act is that the whole broccoli issue. One might have thought it【B1】______the dignity of the Court, for the broccoli was not only raised in the various rulings and differences but tossed around, argued back and forth, and made【B2】______central to the whole thing. In his ruling, Chief Justice Roberts jumps right into what Justice Ginsburg calls " the broccoli horrible," meaning the mention of broccoli as the【B3】______consequence of unrestrained big government.【B4】______the idea that the Commerce Clause allows Congress to regulate a consumer’s【B5】______, he repeats what is by now the familiar mocking【B6】______of the right: What would stop a government that can make you buy health insurance from also making you buy healthy vegetables? That【B7】______the health-care market, too.【B8】______, we wouldn’t want to live in a country where they can make you eat broccoli!
    Consider the chain of inferences the Court would have to accept to【B9】______that a vegetable-purchase decree was likely to have a(an) 【B10】______effect on the health-care costs borne by Americans. The Court would have to believe that【B11】______forced to buy vegetables would then eat them, would【B12】______the vegetables in a healthy way, and would not allow other factors to【B13】______the improved diet.
   【B14】______, if you eat broccoli raw, steamed, or even deep-fried, it’s going to seem【B15】______, the kind of thing the government would have to force【B16】______your plate. But broccoli is a bad thing only when it is badly done. The truth is that broccoli should always be【B17】______roasted or pureed, in the French style, and if you tasted it, you would not just【B18】______but demand government-mandated broccoli. In fact, if you could force all the right-wing Justices to taste these dishes, they would never mention " the broccoli horrible" again. They’d【B19】______just move on to Brussels sprouts, though, legal argument being【B20】______it is.
【B9】
选项 A、conclude
B、include
C、delude
D、seclude
答案A
解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。该句的意思为“如果要得出西兰花法案对美国人的消费行为会产生实质性影响这一结论，法院必须要认定一系列的影响因素。”所以[A]conclude“得出结论，推断出”为正确答案。其他三项分别为：[B]include“包含，涵盖”；[C]delude“欺骗，哄骗”；[D]seclude“使隔开，使隔绝，使隐退”。这三项均不符合文意，故排除。
