问题     With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most【C1】______ issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent(威慑)to murder,【C2】______ others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
    The principal argument【C3】______ by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a【C4】______ society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.
    In our opinion, the death penalty is a【C5】______ evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were【C6】______ of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.
    For example, it is one thing to【C7】______ the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and【C8】______ the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder,【C9】______ all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction, that the【C10】______ in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type of murderer.
【C10】
选项 A、victim
B、suspect
C、criminal
D、convict
答案C
解析 本题要求在从句中填入一个主语，说明把第一个事例中的什么人仅仅与社会隔离就够了。这里显然不能填入A项victim(受害人)。B项suspect指"嫌疑犯"，与文意也不合，D项convict意为"囚犯"，指已在监狱中的犯罪人，用在这里也不合适。正确答案是C项criminal(罪犯)，也就是下句中提到的murderer。
