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] 【C10】
选项 A、victim
B、suspect
C、criminal
D、convict
答案 C
解析 本题要求在从句中填入一个主语，说明把第一个事例中的什么人仅仅与社会隔离就够了。这里显然不能填入A项victim(受害人)。B项suspect指"嫌疑犯"，与文意也不合，D项convict意为"囚犯"，指已在监狱中的犯罪人，用在这里也不合适。正确答案是C项criminal(罪犯)，也就是下句中提到的murderer。
