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.
【C11】______
选项
A、possibly
B、even
C、only
D、simply
答案
C
解析
本题考副词的应用。对副词的选择主要基于对文章的理解。如上所述,美国历史上总统曾否决过2500个国会议案,而国会否决总统的否决则只有104次。两个数字如此悬殊,可见,形容国会否决总统次数的副词应该是C.only,意为“仅仅”。干扰项词义:A.possibly“可能”;B.even“甚至”;D.simply“简单地、只不过”。
