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the U. S. Sentencing Guidelines when they【C4】______ penalties, and in the case of animal fighting, those guidelines are outdated and extremely【C5】______ .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

E)direction M)strengthen
F)hesitate N)sufferings
G)inadequate O)tortured
H)inspired [br] 【C5】
选项
答案
G
解析
形容词辨析题。空格前面有连词and,由此可知,空格处的词语与前面的outdated是并列关系,故空格处的词语也应为形容词。再根据意思来判断,空格前面的单词outdated意为“过时的”,所以此处选择的形容词意思应该与outdated意思一致。因此,答案为G)inadequate“不足的,不充分的”。空格前为副词extremely,由此也可以断定空格处应填形容词,备选项中只有inadequate可选。
