问题     The image was fascinating, as justice John Paul Stevens, a
Chicago native, presented it. A gang member and his father are
hanging in near Wrigley Field. Are they there " to rob an【S1】______
unsuspecting fan or just to get a glimpse of Sammy Sosa leaving the
ball park?" A police officer has no idea, but under Chicago’s anti-
gang law, the cop must order them disperse. With Stevens writing【S2】______
for a 6-to-3 majority, the Supreme Court last week struck down
Chicago’s sweeping law, as had sparked 42,000 arrests in its three【S3】______
years of enforcement.
    The decision was a blow to advocates of get-tough crime
policies. And in a widely noted concurring opinion, Justice Sandra【S4】______
Day O’Connor suggested that a less harsh approach—distinguishing
gang members and innocent bystanders—might pass constitutional【S5】______
muster. New language could target loiterers " with no apparent
purpose rather than to establish control over identifiable areas, to【S6】______
intimidate others from entering those areas or to conceal legal【S7】______
activities," she wrote. Chicago officials vowed to draft a new
measure. "We will go back and correct it and then move forward,"
said Mayor Richard Daley.
    Chicago officials, along with the League of Cities and 31 states
that sided with them in the court, might do well to look at one state【S8】______
where anti-gang loitering prosecutions have withstood constitutional
challenges; California. The state has two antiloitering laws on the
books, aiming at people intending to commit specific crimes—【S9】______
prostitution and drug dealing. In addition, a number of local
prosecutors are waging war for gangs by an innovative use of the【S10】______
public-nuisance laws. [br] 【S9】
选项
答案 aiming—aimed
解析 非谓语动词误用。当aim的主语是物时，一般使用“sth．is aimed at…”的结构，意为“某事旨在……”，故应用过去分词aimed。
