问题     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、convict
B、value
C、indict
D、accuse
答案B
解析 首先理清本句句子结构，去掉插入成分in short，句子主干为the findings of the study show that...，that引导的从句作show的宾语。在that引导的宾语从句American justice systems clearly (18) white lives more than those of blacks or Hispanics中，我们不难发现没有谓语动词，从而判定空格处需要填入一个动词。将选项B代入，句子意为“比起黑人或西班牙裔人，美国司法制度更珍视白人的生命”。从上文，我们可以得出结论，本文的目的在于指出美国司法制度存在种族歧视，而选项B正好符合此意，因此是正确答案。
