问题 The principal purpose of this passage is to ______ .
The passage attempts to establish a relationship between ______ .

选项 A、the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty
B、executions and murders
C、the murder rate and the imposition of the death penalty
D、the effects of execution and the effects of isolation

答案C

解析 综合理解题。本文主要论证死刑的意义,作者认为死刑能有效威慑谋杀。在最后一段中,作者以加利福尼亚州为例,在1954~1963年间死刑经常执行时,谋杀率保持很低;1964年后,死刑只执行过一次,谋杀率上升;而当死刑停止执行后,谋杀率剧烈上升,这不是巧合。因此谋杀率与死刑的实施之间有一定关系,即C。
