问题 What is the topic of the news? [br]  
[8] A judge in the American state of Utah has sanctioned the execution of a convicted murderer by firing squad. Ronnie Lee Gardner will be the first person in the U.S. to face a firing squad in 14 years. Gardner was convicted in 1985 of killing an attorney in a botched escape attempt.
    In signing the warrant for Ronnie Lee Gardner’s execution, a judge in Salt Lake City gave the convicted murderer the choice of death by lethal injection or facing a firing squad. Gardner chose the latter. The case has already re-ignited the debate in Utah about the use of firing squads. Oklahoma is the only other state to sanction them since capital punishment was reinstated in the U.S. in 1976. But it has never killed anyone this way.
选项 A、He once wanted to escape from the prison.
B、He was convicted because of killing an attorney.
C、He preferred facing a firing squad to lethal injection.
D、He is the first person in Oklahoma to face a firing squad in 14 years.
答案 D
解析 信息辨认题。根据新闻内容可知， Rannie Lee Gardner因在一次越狱行动中杀害一名律师而被判死刑；在法官提供的注射处决和行刑队枪决间他选择后者；他是14年来美国第一个受到行刑队枪决的人。因此[A]、[B]、[C]均正确，[D]中Oklahoma错误，因为事件是发生在犹他州，不是俄克拉荷马州，故[D]为答案。
