With the possible exception of equal rights,perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty.Many argue that it is an effective deterrent(威慑)to murder,while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty,basically,is that it is
cruel and inhuman punishment,which is the mark of a brutal society,and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.
In our opinion,the death penalty is a necessary evil.Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder.But some are more extreme than others.
For example,it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage,but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher.Thus,murder,like all other crimes,is a matter of relative degree.While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society,such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.
The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate.But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them.Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder.For example,from 1954 to 1963,when the death penahy was consistently imposed in California,the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100.000 population.Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once,and the murder rate has risen to lO.4 murders for each 100,000 population.The sharp climb in the state’s murder mte,which began when executions stopped,is no coincidence.It is convincing evidence that the death Denahy does deter many murderers.If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed,innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect.This is literallv a life or death matter.The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.
According to the Paragraph 4,it can be inferred that( ).
选项
A、the death Denalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today
B、the second type of murderers should be Sentenced to death
C、the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importance
D、the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debated
答案
B
解析
第四段最后一句说,虽然我们可以争论有关“第一种案例中的罪犯只应该隔离于社会”这样的宣判,但是后一种杀人犯的结局不应该是这样的。即:后一种杀人犯不应该只隔离于社会,言外之意要判死刑,因而B是正确选项。A认为死刑问题是当今美国最具争议的问题,可文章第一句话“With the possible exception of equal rights”,除了平等的权利之外,说明死刑排在第二位,A错误;文章结尾讲到“如果恢复死刑的法案被否决,无辜的人们将被谋杀——如果执行死刑,一些人的生命就可能被挽救”。那么不能说否决(veto)是不重要的,所以c错误;原文就是在讨论实行死刑的必要性这个问题,不能说是“无争议的”,因此D错误。
