问题 The principal purpose of this passage is to ______ .
It can be inferred that the author thinks that ______ .
选项 A、the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importance
B、the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debated
C、the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today
D、the second type murderers (in Para. 4) should be sentenced to death
答案D
解析 推断题。第四段中说，盛怒之下冲动杀人是一回事，而残酷地谋划并杀害一人或多人则是另一回事。对于前一种情况下的罪犯，可以有理由主张只将其与社会隔离(即投入监狱)，但这却不应该是后一种杀人犯应得的报应。这意味着，后一种杀人犯应被判死刑，所以选D。A意为：否决恢复死刑的议案意义不大。而最后一段中说如果恢复死刑的议案被否决，无辜的人将会被杀害。B意为：死刑对犯罪的威慑作用不会被争论。而文章中说，关于死刑对犯罪的威慑作用可能有公开争论。C意为：死刑是当今在美国最引起争议的问题。而文章第一句说，可能除了“权利平等”之外，死刑是当今在美国最引起争议的问题。
