问题     With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most【C1】______ issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent(威慑)to murder,【C2】______ others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
    The principal argument【C3】______ by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a【C4】______ society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.
    In our opinion, the death penalty is a【C5】______ evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were【C6】______ of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.
    For example, it is one thing to【C7】______ the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and【C8】______ the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder,【C9】______ all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction, that the【C10】______ in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type of murderer. [br] 【C1】
选项 A、severe
B、essential
C、controversial
D、complicated
答案 C
解析 根据下文中提到的两种不同的观点，可以推断出这里应填入一个表示"有争议的"这个意思的形容词，因此C项controversial(引起争论的，有争议的)是正确答案。A项severe意为"严厉的"，B项essential意为"非常重要的，必不可少的"，D项complicated意为"复杂的"，均不符合上下文意思的要求。
