1. The main purpose of this passage is to _____.
A. speak for the majority
B. support a veto
C. speak ill of the government
D. argue for the value of the death penalty
答案解析:答案为D。本题为文章的主旨大意题。由第一段的 “Many argue that …, while others think ...”和最后一段的首句 “The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion.”可知,本文讨论死刑的价值。
2. Which of the following is among the heated arguments across the USA besides death penalty?
A. Air pollution.
B. The war against Iraq.
C. Equal rights.
D. Election of president.
答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节题。从第一段的首句 “With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the United States today is the death penalty (死刑).”. The numbers in the last paragraph show that ______.
A. if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reduced
B. death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963
C. the population of California has risen
D. death penalty is of little value
答案解析:答案为A。本题为推理题。从最后一段的第二句 “But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them.” 和最后三句 “If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered- some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected.”“For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in California…” 可知,1954年到1963年期间,死刑时不时地在California执行,并不是废除了,故选项B错误。C选项在文中未提及,D选项与本段的中心意思违背。
