A new study finds that blacks on death row【1】of killing whites are more likely to be executed than whites who kill minorities. It also concludes that blacks who kill【2】minorities are【3】likely to be executed than blacks who kill whites. For example, there is more than a twofold greater risk that an African-American who killed a white will be executed than a white person who kills a【4】victim. A Hispanic is at least 1.4【5】more likely to be executed【6】such an offender kills a white.
The researchers of the study believe that there are two【7】explanations.. First, prosecutors often win【8】office if they win well-publicized cases. When a black kills a white, such killings gets more【9】and this idea can be【10】by many famous cases. 【11】, the court judges at the state level are often【12】to elections, called retention elections. Retention election or judicial retention within the United States court system, is a periodic process, in which the voter【13】approval or disapproval for the judges presently【14】their position, and a judge can be removed from the position if the【15】of the citizens vote him or her out. Just as the researchers【16】out, death penalty is【17】political.
The findings of the study, in short, show that American justice systems clearly【18】white lives more than those of blacks or Hispanics. The researchers also say their findings【19】serious doubts about【20】that the U.S. criminal justice system is colorblind.
选项
A、intuitionally
B、instinctively
C、intrinsically
D、distinctively
答案
C
解析
本题考查词义区分。不难看出,上文作者指出了白人生命更被重视的两个原因,一个是检察官为了升职,会在关注度高的案子上卖力,而法官则为留任选举所左右,说明了都是受政治意图影响。所以作者想要表达的意思是“死刑本质上是政治的”,选项C符合题意,是正确答案。
