【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:D

【解析】63.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】主旨大意题。根据题干定位到原文第一段AsKutzsuggeststheissueofinclusionandexclusionofmembersfromacollectiveactionis“alwaysbothnormativeandfactual”,because“thechoiceofappropriatedescriptivelevel”remainsamatteroflegalpolicy.（正如库茨所指出，将成员纳入和排除在集体行动之外的问题“总是规范性和事实性的”，因为“选择适当的描述水平”仍然是一个法律政策问题）可知选C选项“在选择适当的集体行动描述水平方面的困难”；A选项“集体犯罪的刑事责任”；B选项“等级设置过严的缺陷”以及D选项“水平设置过松的缺陷”都是为了证明选择适当的集体行动描述水平的困难，是这一观点的论据，不足以概括第一段的内容。因此C选项正确。

64.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】事实细节题。根据题干定位到原文第二段第一句Inanycaseacollectiveintentionstestisnecessaryinordertobeabletoholdanyparticularindividualresponsibleasopposedtochargingeveryoneontheoneextreme,orattributingharmtoindeterminatecausesontheother.（在任何情况下，集体意图检验都是必要的，以便能够追究任何特定个人的责任，而不是将所有人归为一个极端，或将伤害归因于另一种不确定的原因）可知选A选项“追究任何特定个人的责任”，同时可知B选项“追究每个人的责任”，D选项“将伤害归因于不确定的原因”不符合原文；第二段Furthermoreasarguedinthesectiononmoralblameaconsiderationofdecisionmethodinacollectiveaction,whichisnecessaryfordistributionofmoralblame,isalsoimpossiblewithoutaconceptionofcollectiveintention.（此外，正如道德责备一节所论证的那样，如果没有集体意图的概念，集体行动中决策方法的考虑也是不可能的，这对于道德责备的分配是必要的）可知集体行动中决策方法的考虑对道德责备的分配是必要的，而不是对集体意图必要，C选项“考虑决策方法”逻辑关系错误。因此A选项正确。

65.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】事实细节题。根据题干定位到原文第三段Theproblemofcollectiveintentionsisdownplayedbythe“romantic”argumentforcollectiveguilt（集体罪责的“浪漫”论点淡化了集体意图的问题）对应A选项“集体犯罪的论点淡化了集体意图的问题”；第三段Whereasthequestionsofretroactivesuspensionoflegalordersorimmunityofstateofficialsaresometimesstillrelevantlegalobstaclesforprosecutinghumanrightsviolations（然而，追溯中止法律命令或国家官员豁免的问题有时仍然是起诉侵犯人权行为的相关法律障碍）对应B选项“追溯中止法律秩序有时与侵犯人权有关”；第二段Partofthe“romantic”appealstemsfromtheimplicationofstateagencyincrimesagainsthumanity(through“stateandorganizationalpolicy”)andwarcrimesaccordingtothepublicinternationallaw.（这种“浪漫”的吸引力部分源于国家机构涉嫌违反国际公法的反人类罪（通过“国家和组织政策”）和战争罪）对应C选项“集体有罪的论点源于国际公法”；D选项“集体犯罪的论点通过国家责任来处理成员问题”未在第三段提及。因此D选项符合题意。

66.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】事实细节题。根据题干关键字“Perpetrators”定位到原文最后一段Variouspassiveorindeterminatefacts,suchasmilitaryculture,religiousortraditionalinstitutions,ideologyorlegalsystemcanandoftenaremanipulatedbyperpetratorstoblendcollectiveactionwithhistorical,naturalorevensupernaturalcauses.（各种消极或不确定的事实，如军事文化、宗教或传统机构、意识形态或法律制度，可以而且往往被肇事者操纵，将集体行动与历史、自然甚至超自然原因相结合）对应A选项“军事文化”，B选项“宗教或传统机构”以及C选项“意识形态或法律体系”；不涉及D选项“集体行动”。因此D选项符合题意。
