问题     Justice in society must include both a fair trial to the accused
and the selection of an appropriate punishment for those proven
guilt. Because justice is regarded as one form of equality, we find【M1】______
in its earlier expressions the idea of a punishment equal to the
crime. Recorded by the Old Testament is the expression "an eye【M2】______
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". That is, the individual who
has done wrong has committed an offense to society. To atone【M3】______
for offense, society must get even. This can be done only by
forcing an equal injury upon him. This conception of retributive
justice is reflected in many parts of the legal codes of modern time.【M4】______
    It is illustrated that we demand the death penalty for a person who【M5】______
has committed murder. This philosophy of punishment was supported
by the German idealist Hegel. He believed that society owed to【M6】______
the criminal to administer a punishment equal to the crime he had
committed. The criminal had in his own actions denied his true self【M7】______
and it is necessary to do something that will counteract his denial and
restore the self that has been denied. To the murderer nothing more【M8】______
than giving up his own life will pay for his debt.
    Modern jurists have tried to replace retributive justice with the
notion of corrective justice. The aim of the later is not to abandon【M9】______
the concept of equality but to find a more adequate way to express
it. It tries to preserve the idea of equal opportunity for each of【M10】______
individual to realize the best that is in him.
【M8】
选项
答案more→less
解析 语篇错误，词义区别。nothing less than意为“完全是，正是，不亚于”，而nothing more than与no more than差别不大，意为“仅仅，只不过”。
