When someone commits a criminal act, we always hope the punishment will match the offense. But when it comes to one of the cruelest crimes—animal fighting—things【C1】______ work out that way. Dog-fighting victims are【C2】______ and killed for profit and "sport," yet their criminal abusers often receive a【C3】______ sentence for causing a lifetime of pain. Roughly half of all federally-convicted animal fighters only get probation(缓刑).
Some progress has been made in the prosecution(起诉)of animal fighters. But federal judges often rely heavily on the U. S. Sentencing Guidelines when they【C4】______ penalties, and in the case of animal fighting, those guidelines are outdated and extremely【C5】______ .
The U. S. Sentencing Commission, which【C6】______ these sentencing guidelines, is revisiting them, proposing to raise the minimum sentence from 6-12 to 21 -27 months. This is a step in the right【C7】______ , but we’d like to see the U. S. Sentencing Commission make further changes to the guidelines.
Along with this effort, we’re working with animal advocates and state and federal lawmakers to【C8】______ anti-cruelty laws across the country, as well as supporting laws and policies that assist overburdened animal【C9】______ that care for animal fighting victims. This help is【C10】______ important because the high cost of caring for animal victims is a major factor that prevents people from getting involved in cruelty cases in the first place.
A)convenient I)method
B)creates J)minimal
C)critically K)rarely
D)determine L)shelters
E)direction M)strengthen
F)hesitate N)sufferings
G)inadequate O)tortured
H)inspired [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
O
解析
动词辨析题。空格后面有连词and,通过分析句子结构可知,空格处的词语与后面的动词killed为并列关系,因此空格处需要填入动词的过去式。文中提到为了人类的利益和“娱乐”,这些用来角斗的狗类受害者们被杀害,此处应选择与杀害意义相近的动词,因此O)tortured为答案。空格处需要填入动词的过去式,与and后的killed并列,因此可以排除creates,determine,hesitate和strengthen;而inspired不符合句意,故排除。
