问题     Read the following articles in which four people talked about their work and life. For questions 61 to 65, match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

★Jenise:
    The good aspect of death penalty is that fear of death stops people from committing crimes. Besides, it guarantees that those who are really dangerous will neither commit their crimes again nor pass on undesirable hereditary (世袭的) traits (品性) to their children. In this way it protects society from many dangerous happenings.
★Lee:
    But any fear of the capital punishment is greatly reduced by the decrease in the number of jurisdictions (司法) using it, by the uncertainty of detection (侦探), the long delays in court procedures, the decline in the number of executions, and by the nonpublic nature of executions. Statistical studies indicate that the use of the death penalty has no significant effect on either the frequency of capital crimes or the safety of law-enforcement officers.
★Hoke:
    By attaching this penalty to certain crimes, the law exerts a positive moral influence in the educational process. By strongly stigmatizing (打烙印) these acts, the law helps to develop attitudes of disgust and even horror for them.
★Nyby:
    The Criminal should die because he has committed a horrible crime, and only his execution will satisfy the public and prevent it from taking the law into its own hands. It’s fair for those victims, especially for those who were killed by them. There is no substitute for the death penalty in giving retribution (惩罚) its maximum effectiveness. Without it, the criminals may soon come to see no difference between the breaking of a window and the fracturing (使破裂) of another’s skull (脑壳)
★Robin:
    The universal desire for revenge must be stopped an regulated in modern society by legal retribution if order is to be maintained. Retribution functions interrelatedly with reformation and deterrence, both of which must be expressed in terms of society’s moral code. The principal function of retribution is to support this code and thus help unify (统一) society against those who violate it.
    Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
    Note: there are two extra statements.

                 Statements
[A] Death penalty functions as a means of education.
[B] Death penalty is a kind of revenge.
[C] Social security is bettered by death penalty.
[D] Revenge should not be perceived as deserved punishment.
[E] Capital punishment cannot prevent crimes.
[F] Criminals deserve being killed if killed other people.
[G] Criminals can always escape death penalty.
选项
答案C
解析 主旨大意题。死刑有利的一面是，“怕死”阻止人们犯罪。另外，它确保那些危险分子们既不再犯罪，又不把他们身上的不良品性传给下一代。所以答案C“由于死刑，治安得以改善。”符合题意。
