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] 【C6】
选项 A、capable
B、liable
C、apt
D、possible
答案 A
解析 A项capable意为"能……的，有做出(坏事)的倾向的"，B项liable意为"有……倾向的"，C项apt意为"易于……的，有……倾向的"。从意思角度考虑，A、B和C都符合题意的要求。但liable和apt后面只能接不定式，不能接介词of，而ca—pable后面只接of，不接不定式，因此从语法角度考虑，只能选A。D项possible(可能的)既不能与表示人的主语搭配使用，也不能后接of。
