问题 With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most【C1】______ issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent(威慑)to murder,【C2】______ others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
The principal argument【C3】______ by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a【C4】______ society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.
In our opinion, the death penalty is a【C5】______ evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were【C6】______ of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.
For example, it is one thing to【C7】______ the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and【C8】______ the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder,【C9】______ all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction, that the【C10】______ in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type of murderer. [br] 【C3】

选项 A、thought
B、approved
C、advanced
D、alleged

答案 C

解析本题要求一个及物动词的过去分词作"argument"的后置定语。A项thought是不及物动词，后常接of，about表示"考虑，想到"。B项approred用作不及物动词时，后接of，意为"被赞成的，被同意的"，作及物动词时，意为"被批准的，被通过的"，与文意不合。D项alleged意为"被断言的，被宣称的"，后常接that从句，也不合文意。正确答案只能是C项advanced(被提出的)。
