The Romans did not produce ambitious blueprints 【C1】______ the construction of ideal states, such as【C2】______to the Greeks. With very few exceptions, Roman theorists ignored, or rejected 【C3】______ valueless, intellectual exercises like Plato’ s Republic, in 【C4】______ the relationship of the individual to the state was 【C5】______ out painstakingly without reference to 【C6】______ 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【C7】______.

【C18】
选项 A、state
B、country
C、people
D、national
答案A
解析 考查习惯搭配。空格处的名词作定语，修饰authority。本文一开始就提到罗马人关于国家理论的形成(Roman theorizing about the state)。文中多次出现了关键词state。因此可推知，空格部分涉及的是应是“国家权力”。state authority是表达“国家权力”的习惯搭配，一般不用country或people，national authority常表示“民族权力机构”，故答案为A．state。
