网考网试题解析：
The eagle is poised to strike "with exposed talons." It, like the Cardinal, collects itself to strike with greater force. The imagery accentuates the Cardinal's mercilessness. Choice A is incorrect. The Cardinal is not flighty (light-headed and irresponsible); he is cold and calculating. Choice B is incorrect. He loves power, not freedom. Choice C is incorrect. An eagle poised to strike with bare claws suggests violence, not eminence (fame and high position). Choice D is incorrect. Nothing in the passage suggests he is spiritual. Beware eye-catchers. "Eminence" is a title of honor applied to cardinals in the Roman Catholic church. Choice D may attract you for this reason. 查看试题解析出处>>
