Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should choose the best answer to each question based on the passage.
Passage One
Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage:
The idea behind “the rule of law” is that,it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life.“We live under a rule of law,not of men,” American teachers tell their students.The students accept the idea.They believe that “no man is above the law,” that laws apply equally to all people no matter how wealthy they are,what their personal connections are,or what their stations in life are.Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held,and many foreigners could not understand,that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behavior in connection with what was called “Watergate scandal”.Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished,Americans believed,even if he was the President.
The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures.To get a job with a government institution,for example,or to get government funding for a research project,one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements.Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.
This not to say that personal contacts,wealth,and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed.They may.What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree.In reality,connections can sometimes help a person get a government job.Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behavior that poor people would be likely to be punished for.But in general the rule of law prevails,and Americans are proud that is does.
35.The passage is mainly about ______.
A.American’s faith in the rule of law
B.law and personal connections in the U.S.
C.equality under the American rule of law
D.the American rule of law in theory and in practice
