问题 In ancient times, judges often resorted to trial by ordeal in cases where no concrete evidence was available on either side.
选项 A、test
B、threat
C、torture
D、terror
答案 C
解析    (1)句子结构。
   本题句子结构：In ancient times(时间状语)，judges(主语)often resorted to(谓语)trial(宾语)by ordeal in cases where no concrete evidence was available on either side (画线部分是由where引导的定语从句，修饰cases)。
(2)选项词义。
A．test n．测试；考察；考验，检验；检查
B．threat n．威胁，恐吓；构成威胁的人(或事物)
C．torture n．酷刑，刑讯；拷问
D．terror n．惊恐，恐怖的事；(通常出于政治目的的)恐怖行动
   句子大意为“在古代，如果双方无法提供确凿证据，法官往往以严刑拷打来断案”。原句中ordeal意为“折磨”，与选项中torture意思最为接近，因此选项C正确。
