问题     The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices have become an important issue recently. The court cannot【B1】______its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law【B2】______justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that【B3】______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【B4】______as impartial judgments. Part of the problem is that the justices are not【B5】______by an ethics code. At the very least, the court should make itself【B6】______to the code of conduct that【B7】______to the rest of the federal judiciary.
    This and other similar cases【B8】______the question of whether there is still a【B9】______between the court and politics.
    The framers of the Constitution envisioned law【B10】______having authority apart from politics. They gave justices permanent positions【B11】______they would be free to【B12】______those in power and have no need to【B13】______political support. Our legal system was designed to set law apart from politics precisely because they are so closely【B14】______.
    Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social【B15】______like liberty and property. When the court deals with social policy decisions, the law it【B16】______is inescapably political—which is why decisions split along ideological lines are so easily【B17】______as unjust.
    The justices must【B18】______doubts about the court’ s legitimacy by making themselves【B19】______to the code of conduct. That would make rulings more likely to be seen as separate from politics and,【B20】______, convincing as law.
【B10】
选项 A、by
B、as
C、through
D、towards
答案B
解析 考查介词辨析。根据句意，宪法的起草者们开始的意图是将司法从政治中分出来，让宪法有其独立性。envision…as…意思是“把…预想成为…”，符合文意，故选B．as。其他选项与envision不能构成搭配。
