43、 rights as humans cant be justified philosophically. An adequate argument for animal rights would require further philosophical inquiry and not just descriptive_25_. We can feel pity for animals being treated badly and strive to protect them from such treatment. This,_26_, doesnt mean animals should

44、 enjoy the same legal status as humans.There is a strong reason for_27_that rights only apply to humans. While fundamental rights surely are valuable in their nature, they would be worthless without a system to_28_them. That is why we expect other people to respect our rights.The system that defends

52、有和人类一样的权力和法律地位？文章指出，享有权力的同时要履行义务，如果动物享有和人类同样的权力，是否能履行同等的义务呢？能否为自己的行为负责呢？【21题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们提到科学研究表明动物表现出“人类特征”，认为动物应该受到同样权利的保护。A. acquiring获得；B. desiring渴望；C. displaying表现（特性或情感等）；D. respecting尊敬。根据空格后“human characteristics”可知，应该是动物“表现出”人类特征，才应该受到同样权利的保护。故选C项。【22题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：支持给予动物与人类平等权利的观点强调了

53、这样一个事实：科学家已经在动物身上发现了我们通常认为人类才有的特征。A. explores探索；B. challenge挑战；C. overlooks忽略；D. emphasizes强调。根据空格后“the fact that”可知，空格后面陈述的是一个客观事实，这是支持给予动物与人类平等权利的观点的事实依据，由此可知，这里应该是为了支持自己的观点，“强调”了这个事实。故选D项。【23题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：支持给予动物与人类平等权利的观点强调了这样一个事实：科学家已经在动物身上发现了我们通常认为人类才有的特征。A. treat对待，治疗；B. associate联系；C. deal应

54、对，对付；D. bear忍受。根据空格前“characteristics”和空格后“with humans”可知，科学家在动物身上发现的特征，通常是与人类联系在一起的，也就是说，是人类常见的特征，associate with意为“与联系在一起”，符合句意。故选B项。【24题详解】考查介词/介词短语词义辨析。句意：事实是，尽管有令人信服的科学证据，但至少给予一些动物与人类同样的权利的论点在哲学上是不合理的。A. considering考虑；B. despite尽管；C. instead of代替；D. according to根据，按照。根据空格后“the argument for granti

55、ng at least some animals the same rights as humans cant be justified philosophically”可知，上文提到的论点在哲学上是不合理的，由此可知，空格处句子表示“尽管”有令人信服的科学证据，但在哲学上是不合理的。故选B项。【25题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：动物权利的充分论证需要进一步的哲学调查，而不仅仅是描述性的结论。A. conclusions结论；B. performances表演；C. experiments实验；D. messages信息。根据空格前“require further philosophical

56、 inquiry”和“not”可知，空格前后为转折关系，需要的是进一步的哲学调查，由此可知，不能仅仅是给出“结论”。故选A项。【26题详解】考查短语/副词词义辨析。句意：然而，这并不意味着动物应该享有和人类一样的法律地位。A. in return作为回报；B. for instance例如；C. therefore因此；D. however然而。结合上下文，上文提到我们对动物受到的虐待感到同情并努力保护它们免受这种待遇，下文提到这并不意味着动物应该享有和人类一样的法律地位，上下文为转折关系，however意为“然而”，表示转折关系，符合语境。故选D项。【27题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：有一

57、个强有力的理由来坚持这种权利只适用于人类。A. denying否认；B. maintaining维持，坚持；C. recognizing承认；D. suggesting建议。结合下文内容可知，下文阐述的是虽然基本权利在本质上确实是有价值的，但如果没有一个制度来确保这些权利，这些权利将毫无价值。由此可知，下文阐述的内容是用来支持权利只适用于人类这一观点的，所以下文提到的理由应该是用来“坚持”这种权利只适用于人类的。故选B项。【28题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：虽然基本权利在本质上确实是有价值的，但如果没有一个制度来确保这些权利，这些权利将毫无价值。A. approve赞成；B. demand要

58、求；C. ensure确保，保证；D. reserve预定。根据上文“they would be worthless”可知，应该是如果没有一个制度来“确保”这些权利，这些权利将毫无价值，没有制度保证的权力就相当于没有权利。故选C项。【29题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：保护我们权利的制度是这样一个事实：其他人对我们的行为负有义务。A. contracts合同；B. possession拥有，财产；C. faith信任；D. duties责任，义务。根据后文“Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin, and one cannot _ to

59、 have certain rights without having to observe the duties.”可知，权利和义务是一枚硬币的两面，不履行义务就不能要求拥有某些权利。由此可知，空格处指的是其他人对我们的行为是负有“义务”的。故选D项。【30题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：在我们的日常生活中，我们经历了许多坏人可以从侵犯我们的权利中获利的情况。A. profit获利；B. keep保持；C. learn学习；D. result导致，产生。根据后文“from violating (侵犯) our rights”可知，坏人应该是从侵犯我们的权利中“获利”，profit from意

60、为“得益于”。故选A项。【31题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：权利和义务是一枚硬币的两面，不履行义务就不能要求拥有某些权利。A. afford买得起；B. claim索取；C. pretend假装；D. determine决定。根据句中“Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin”可知，权利和义务是一枚硬币的两面，由此可知，不履行义务就不能“要求”拥有某些权利，claim to意为“要求”，为固定搭配。故选B项。【32题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：他将在法庭上被追究责任，因为他没有尽到尊重我权利的义务。A. assigned分配；B. d

61、eclared宣布；C. failed失败，未能（做到）；D. fulfilled履行，执行。根据句中“He will then be held responsible in a court of law”可知，他是因为“没有”尽到尊重我权利的义务，才被追究责任，failed意为“未能（做到）”，符合句意。故选C项。【33题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是完全合理的，但如果我的财产被大象侵犯，我们肯定会面临障碍。A. dangers危险；B. questions问题；C. charges指控；D. obstacles障碍。根据句意可知，如果我的财产被大象侵犯，大象是无法承担责任的，由此可知，

62、我们肯定会面临维权的“障碍”。故选D项。【34题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果我们假设动物被赋予与人类同样的法律地位，那么法律制度就要求我们现在就把大象拖上法庭。A. agreement协议；B. justice法律制度；C. criticism批评；D. frustration沮丧，挫败。根据空格前“If we assume that animals are granted the same legal status as humans”可知，如果动物和人类法律地位一样，大象就应该为它的行为负责，由此可知，是“法律制度”要求把大象拖上法庭审判。故选B项。【35题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。

63、句意：因此，它现在受到与人类相同的法律程序的约束。A. open开放的；B. addicted上瘾的；C. subject服从于，受支配；D. relevant相关的。根据上文可知如果一个动物享有权利，它也要履行责任和义务，由此可知，它现在受到与人类相同的法律程序的“约束”，be subject to意为“服从于，受支配”，为固定短语，句中指受法律程序的支配。故选C项。Section BDirections: Read the following three passages.
