In Bassaria a group of that country’s most senior judges has criticized the uniform mandatory sentences recently introduced for certain specific crimes. The judges argue that such sentences, by depriving them of all discretion in setting sentences, make it impossible for them to consider either aggravating or extenuating circumstances and so make it impossible to achieve true justice —the fitting of the severity of the punishment to the gravity of the particular crime. Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest evidence for the claim that in Bassaria the newly introduced mandatory sentences are not necessarily a change for the worse with respect to achieving true justice as defined in the argument?
选项
A、Before mandatory sentencing, judges in eastern Bassaria imposed strikingly different sentences from those in western Bassaria for equally grave instances of the same kind of offense.
B、In Bassaria the frequency of crimes that have been made subject to mandatory sentences is lower now than it was just prior to the introduction of mandatory sentencing.
C、The law introducing mandatory sentences was passed in the legislature of Bassaria by a large majority and is unlikely to be repealed in the foreseeable future.
D、There used to be a wide difference between the minimum and the maximum sentences allowed by law in cases of crimes now subject to mandatory sentences.
E、In Bassaria judges are appointed for life and are thus not easily influenced by political pressure groups.
答案
A
解析
正确解答本题的关键是对“the fitting of the severity of the punishment to the gravity of the particular crime”的把握。要找一个满足本题要求的选项,很显然就是找一个选项能说明采用“the uniformmandatory sentences recently introduced”比以前法官们的传统做法更有可能达到公正的判决。(A)选项表明Bassaria不同地区的法官对同一类型且严重程度也相同的犯罪的判决的显著差异就很有力地说明了法官们以前所具有的判决力是不可能达到真正的平等,而相比之下“the uniform mandatorysentences”有可能更为公正,所以(A)为正确答案;(D)易被误选,但要注意的是过去在最强判决和最弱判决之间有很大不同的案件现在属于统一强制判决的论述仅仅说明了强制判决可能妨碍真正的公正,所以(D)支持的是上面的段落,而不是问题中所提出的结论。
