问题 The Congress failed to enact legislation in the ______ of the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.
选项 A、consequence
B、outcome
C、result
D、aftermath
答案 D
解析 aftermath强调因战争、暴风雨、事故等不幸事件的“后果或余波”。如：Several people resigned in the aftermath of the scandal．(几个人在丑闻发生后辞职。)本题的“康涅狄格州纽敦枪击案”属于不幸事件，aftermath符合语境，故选D。consequence，outcome和result均为中性词，在本题表贬义的语境中，不如aftermath好，故排除。
