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.
【C2】
选项 A、however
B、although
C、and
D、while
答案D
解析 本句相对于上句而言，语气明显发生转折，表达的是与上句完全不同的观点，因此需要填入一个表示转折关系的连词。D项while作为连词，可用于表示"而，然而"，因此是正确答案。A项however也表示"然而"，但它是副词，不能用于连接句子，所以不能选用。B项although用于表示让步关系，C项and用于表示同一意思的延续，用在这里明显不合适。
