问题     The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices have become an important issue recently. The court cannot 【C1】______ its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law 【C2】______justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that 【C3】______ the court’s reputation for being independent and impartial.
    Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, appeared at political events. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court’s decisions will be【C4】______as impartial judgments. Part of the problem is that the justices are not【C5】______by an ethics code. At the very least, the court should make itself【C6】______to the code of conduct that【C7】______to the rest of the federal judiciary.
    This and other similar cases【C8】______the question of whether there is still a【C9】______between the court and politics. The framers of the Constitution envisioned law 【C10】______ having authority apart from politics. They gave justices permanent positions 【C11】______ they would be free to 【C12】______those in power and have no need to 【C13】______ political support. Our legal system was designed to set law apart from politics precisely because they are so closely【C14】______.
    Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social 【C15】______like liberty and property. When the court deals with social policy decisions, the law it【C16】______ is inescapably political—which is why decisions split along ideological lines are so easily【C17】______ as unjust.
    The justices must【C18】______doubts about the court’ s legitimacy by making themselves【C19】______to the code of conduct. That would make rulings more likely to be seen as separate from politics and, 【C20】______, convincing as law.
【C5】
选项 A、advanced
B、caught
C、bound
D、founded
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。本段是总分的逻辑，首先提出法官卷入到政治中会带来的问题，然后分析问题的成因：法官是没有伦理道德准则的______。后一句话表明法院至少应该遵守行为规范，这就明显推断出上一句应该说的是法官没有受到道德规范的约束，C．bound“束缚”，引申为“约束”，符合题意。advance“发展，前进”；catch“捕捉”；found“建立，创办”，都是不合题意的。
