Perhaps all criminals should be required to carry cards which read: "Fragile: handle with care." It will never do, these days, to go around referring to criminal as violent thugs. You must refer to them politely as "social misfits (不能适应社会的人). The professional killer who wouldn’t think twice about using his club or knife to batter some harmless old lady to death in order to rob her of her meager life savings must never be given a dose of his own medicine. He is in need of "hospital treatment". According to his misguided defenders, society is to blame. A wicked society breeds evil or so the argument goes. When you listen to this kind of talk, it makes you wonder why we aren’t all criminals. We have done away with the absurdly harsh laws of the nineteenth century and this is only right. But surely enough is enough. The most senseless piece of criminal legislation in Britain and a number of other countries has been the suspension of capital punishment.
The violent criminal has become a kind of hero-figure in our time. He is glorified on the screen; he is pursued by the press and paid vast sum of money for his "memories". Newspapers which specialize in crime reporting enjoy enormous circulations. When you read about the achievements of the great train robbers, it makes you wonder whether you are reading about some glorious resistance movement. The hardened criminal is cuddled and cosseted by the sociologists on the one hand and adored as a hero by the masses on the other. It’s no wonder he is a privileged person who expects and receives VIP treatment wherever he goes. Capital punishment used to be a major deterrent. It made the violent robber think twice before pulling the trigger. It gave the cold-blooded poisoner (下毒者) something to ponder about while he was shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail. It prevented unarmed policemen from being killed while pursuing their duty by killers armed with automatic weapons. Above all, it protected the most vulnerable members of society, young children, from brutal violence. It is horrifying to think that the criminal can literally get away with murder. We all know that "life sentence" does not mean what it says. After ten years or so of good conduct, the most desperate villain is free to’ return to society where he will live very comfortably, on the proceeds of his crime, or he will go on committing offences until he is caught again. People are always willing to hold liberal views at the expense of others. It’s always fashionable to pose as the defender of the under-dog, so long as you, personally, remain unaffected. Did the defenders of crime, in their desire for fair play, consult the victims before they suspended capital punishment? Hardly, because all the victims were dead. [br] What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
选项
A、Professional killers should not be treated with humane treatment.
B、The violent robbers should think twice before pulling the trigger.
C、We should give the poisoner time to ponder about while he is shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail.
D、Severe punishment, even death penalty, should be given to criminals.
答案
D
解析
本文对社会上那些主张人道地对待罪犯的观点(第1段),和将罪犯“英雄化”的现象(第2段前部),进行了讥讽和批判,在第2段的后部强调了对罪犯实施严刑、死刑的必要性,因此很自然地得出结论:对待罪犯应施以严刑、死刑。
