问题    The English word "veto" means "I will not permit". It is a way for one member of a group or government to 【C1】______ action by other members.
   For example, the United Nations Security Council 【C2】______ five permanent members, the United States, China, Britain, France and Russia. 【C3】______ can use the veto to block action by the whole group. Britain and France did this in 1956. They vetoed a resolution 【C4】______ Israel to withdraw its forces from Egyptian territory.
   The most 【C5】______ use of the veto is by an executive over the legislative in a government with a president. The United States Constitution 【C6】______ such a veto. The 【C7】______ also says a president’s veto can be changed by a second vote of Congress. This is called overriding the president’s veto. For a bill to become law, 【C8】______ of the members of both houses of Congress 【C9】______vote to override the president’s veto. Throughout American history, presidents 【C10】______ more than 2 500 congressional bills. Congress has been able to override the president’s veto 【C11】______ 104 times. Presidents in the late 1800s and early 1700s did not use the veto frequently.
   In the 1940s,President Franklin Roosevelt vetoed more than 600 bills. But he was president for 12 years, much longer than anyone else. More recently, President Ronald Reagan vetoed 【C12】______ in his eight years in office. And George Bush vetoed 44 bills in four years.
   Today, Congress is approving bills designed to 【C13】______ the size and cost of the federal government. President Clinton does not 【C14】______ all the congressional plans. He has different ideas about 【C15】______ parts of government should be cut and by how much. He already vetoed at least one of these bills.
【C15】______
选项 A、why
B、what
C、whose
D、that
答案B
解析  本题考宾语从句。前一句提到Clinton总统观点时用了部分否定的句式，即Clinton总统不完全同意国会关于精简政府和削减开支的意见。换言之，Clinton的总体意见是同意精简政府和削减开支，但在具体细节上与国会有分歧。从下文中可以看到，他们之间的分歧在于“精简哪些部门(parts of government)”以及“精简的幅度(by how much)”。因此，先排除C．whose，因为whose parts of government的提法不合逻辑；然后排除不符合“总体上赞成国会意见”的选项，即A．why和D，that；最后确认B．what为正确答案。 what parts of government意为“政府的哪些部门”。本句大意：对于国会的计划Clinton总统并非全部赞同，他在政府的哪些部门应该被精简以及开支应削减多少这些问题上持不同观点。
