问题 A major goal of law, to deter potential criminals by punishing wrongdoers, is not served when the penalty is so seldom invoked that it (i)____ to be a (ii)____ threat.
选项 A、tends…serious
B、appears…real
C、ceases…credible
D、fails…deceptive
E、seems…coercive
答案 C
解析 -方程等号：so…that…如此…所以…，表示因果，同义重复。seldom取反。
- 强词和对应：前文说法律的主要目标是通过惩罚犯人来威慑潜在的罪犯，这个目标变得没有用了(not served)。the penalty和punishing同义重复。而“惩罚”的目的就是对罪犯构成“威胁”，因此penalty和threat同义重复。it指代penalty。根据so…that…空格(i)和空格(ii)联动，根据seldom取反。体现惩罚不构成威胁。
空格(i)+空格(ii)：
- 如果空格(ii)为负向，体现“没有”威胁，选项中deceptive骗人的，合适；那么空格(i)为正向，体现惩罚“是” “没有”威胁。，但是fail是负向词，所以排除D选项。
-如果空格(ii)为正向，体现“有”威胁，选项中serious严重的，real真正的，credible可靠的，coercive强制的，都合适；那么空格(i)为负向，体现惩罚“不是” “有”威胁，tend倾向，appear看起来，seem看似，都是正向词，排除；只有选项C的cease停止是一个负向词，所以C为正确答案。
