34. A citadel, a fortress designed for the defense of a city, usually standed on top of a hill.
答案：D
测试点：不规则动词的词形变化。
分析：这类考题数量虽不多，但考的是最基本的知识，不应做错。stand的过去式是stood，standed是个错字。解题要点；stand-stood?stood及begin-began-begun等不规则动词变化形式要记牢。
35. Conservative philosophers argue that the very structure of society is threatening by civil disobedience, while humanists stress the primacy of the individual conscience.
