Since September 11, 2001, biological weapons【C3】______to have become the weapon of choice among the desperate【C4】______of the world.  Some people are worried chemical warfare may【C5】______, which would bring an unbelievable disaster to the whole world.

选项 A、slaughtering
B、injuring
C、rescuing
D、murdering
答案 B
解析 动词辨义题。此处是一个and的并列连接。与killing 12 people相并列说明的，不难推测应该是在东京地铁站的受伤人数。故选择injuring“受伤”。slaughter意为“残杀，屠杀”；murder意为“谋杀”；这两项均与前面的killing一词重复，可排除。rescue意为“营救，救援”。该句说的是沙林毒气爆炸在东京地铁站造成的伤亡情况，故与救援无关，可排除。
