(10 points)  The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices have become an important issue recently. The court cannot  1 its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law  2 justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that  3 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  4 as impartial judgments. Part of the problem is that the justices are not  5 by an ethics code. At the very least, the court should make itself  6 to the code of conduct that  7 to the rest of the federal judiciary.

选项 A. serve
B. satisfy
C. upset
D. replace

答案 C

解析 此题承接上题,可知法律不受政治的影响,从而法官也不用担心…掌权者(those in power),可推测此处不应填入表示善意或友好的词,因此[A]项serve(为…服务)和[B]项satisfy(另…满意)均不合上下文;[D]项replace(代替)不合逻辑,因此只有[C]项upset(击败,令…不安)符合语境,因此答案选C。
