问题     The success of Augustus owed much to the character of Roman theorizing about the state. The Romans did not produce ambitious blueprints 【B1】______ the construction of ideal states, such as【B2】______to the Greeks. With very few exceptions, Roman theorists ignored, or rejected 【B3】______ valueless, intellectual exercises like Plato’ s Republic, in 【B4】______ the relationship of the individual to the state was 【B5】______ out painstakingly without reference to 【B6】______ states or individuals.The closest the Roman came to the Greek model was Cicero’ s De Re Publica, and even here Cicero had Rome clearly in【B7】______. Roman thought about the state was concrete, even when it【B8】______religious and moral concepts.

【B15】
选项 A、over
B、along
C、on
D、about
答案C
解析 考查动词短语辨析。move over意为“挪开，让位置”；move along意为“向前移动(以腾出空间)”；move on意为“往前走；开始做(新的事情)”；move about意为“不停地走动”。上文提到，“最初的参议院拥有行使权力所必需的宗教特质”，本句则提到，“参议员们将权利再进行分割”，显然，两个分句之间是“继续，接着”的含义，所以正确答案为C．on。
