我来补答

第一空由although得知,第一句前后两分局为反义重复原则.第二句为：Dahl himself seems to support some of such earlier criticism.；D这个人支持criticism,所以前面的话所表现的思想是不支持批评.所以censure（harsh criticism）被抑制,characterized肯定不行,这个你应该懂吧?C选项的overruled是被...抑制（someone in authority overrules a person or their decision——科林斯字典解释）,要有一个权限更高的来抑制它,原文中没有说什么抑制了它,比较级不成立,后面的D是支持的.
第二空上句表明了D支持了criticism,（criticism在GRE中是正的,所以按照西方观点政府是民主的）.所以是approves,做到这里although提示下句转折.
第三空其实这个空是最好说明的了.你理解错了gerontocracy的意思,它既有”老人政府“也有”寡头政府“的意义.后面的polyarchy就是多党执政的意思.如果不懂gerontocracy也好解释.根据第二空看到的although提示了：尽管D支持了民主,但是D也在他的著作中不断地反思在当今多党执政的制度中引入寡头政治的风气会带来哪些体制上的变革（也就是D其实还是在追寻georontocracy）.monocratic指的不是寡头政府,是君主制度,是有皇帝的那种,不可能在现在恢复帝制,这种弱智选项可以直接排出.democratic直接与句义矛盾了.
关于速度的问题:多练就出来了.注意同义、反义重复.
