问题 How does one evaluate the effects of modern democracy on individuals? The first clarifying step must be to recognize that “democracy” itself can, in the abstract, (i)________us as we think of our society and our perception of democracy as citizens. The experience of living in a democracy (ii)________each generation. A feature of democratic is that something that benefits us in one generation may no longer be a benefit to the next. Thus experiencing democracy in the twentyfirst-century is (iii)________the political order our ancestors cherished in 1901.
Blank (i)  Blank (ii)         Blank (iii)
A. define  D. changes for     G. vastly preferable to
B. mislead E. improves with   H. radically different from
C. abet    F. persists beyond I. ultimately derived from

选项

答案B,D

解析 先看空格(ii),没有明显的逻辑词,因此前后语义相同。前面说生活在民主社会的经历________每代人。后面说了民主的一个特点,即对一代入有好处而对下代入就不再有好处了。既然民主对于不同代入的好处不相同,那么对应空格(ii),就要填表示“不同”含义的词,D项changes for(变化)符合预期。再看空格(iii),出现因果逻辑词thus,表示前后同义,这里举例说明了21世纪与1901年的政治秩序(political order)的关系,应该与前面的“不同”相对应,所以H项radically different from符合语义。最后看空格(i),说当我们作为公民对社会和我们对于民主的理解进行思考时,民主这个概念本身可能会(i)________我们。空格(i)前面的in the abstract的意思是apart from practical or actual conditions,即“一概而论”,而后文说不同时期的民主的概念是不一样的。“一概而论”和“不同时期不一样”是相反的概念,所以空格(i)填入一个表示负评价的词即可,体现出负面影响,所以选B项mislead(误导)。
