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.
【C3】
选项 A、thought
B、approved
C、advanced
D、alleged
答案C
解析 本题要求一个及物动词的过去分词作"argument"的后置定语。A项thought是不及物动词，后常接of，about表示"考虑，想到"。B项approred用作不及物动词时，后接of，意为"被赞成的，被同意的"，作及物动词时，意为"被批准的，被通过的"，与文意不合。D项alleged意为"被断言的，被宣称的"，后常接that从句，也不合文意。正确答案只能是C项advanced(被提出的)。
