4. It can be inferred that the writer thinks that ______.
A. the death penalty is the most important problem in the United States today
B. the second type of murderers (in Paragraph 4) should be sentenced to death
C. the veto of the law about death penalty is of little importance
D. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be discussed
答案解析:答案为B。本题为推理题。细读第四段, 由“it is one thing … blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan …in the style of a butcher. Thus,
murder… is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.”可知,作者认为谋杀分为 “blind anger (盲目的愤怒)” 和 “coldly plan …in the style of a butcher (冷酷的屠夫式的谋杀),谋杀的程度不一样,如果是第一种就仅仅让谋杀者与社会隔离即可,而不是后一种谋杀者的命运,言外之意就是后一种谋杀应该判死刑。故答案为B。
结合前面几题的分析,第一段作者认为除了人权问题,在美国讨论最热烈的问题是死刑。故选项A错误。从最后一段倒数第三句话 “If the law about death penalty is vetoed, some people will be murdered- some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect.” 可知,如果死刑被否决,一些本可以挽救的生命就会被谋杀,可见死刑的否决对保护人的生命有着重要的意义,C选项的意思与此相反,故错误。D选项与最后一段的首句
