第2题
The trend in most industrialized nations has been to first stop executing prisoners and then to substitute long terms of imprisonment for death as the most severe of all criminal penalties. The United States is an important exception. The federal government and a majority of U.S. states provide for the death penalty, and on average 75 executions occur each year throughout the United States.
Since ancient times most governments have punished crimes by death as a routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the nfid-18th century, social critics began to criticize government practices they considered unjust, including capital punishment. The debate over whether governments should utilize the death penalty continues today.
Critics of capital punishment argue that it is cruel and insulting; while supporters assert that it is a uniquely effective punishment that prevents crime. However, advocates and opponents of the death penalty dispute the proper interpretation of statistical analyses of its preventing effect. Opponents of capital punishment see the death penalty as a human fights issue involving the limits of governmental power. In contrast, the advocates tend to regard capital punishment as an issue of criminal justice policy. Because of these alternative viewpoints, there will be further debate not only about what is the right answer on capital punishment, but about what type of question is being asked when the death penalty becomes a public issue.
According to the first paragraph, corporal punishment ______.
A．is a controversial penal practice now
B．is mere welcome than death penalty in most countries
C．is more effective than imprisonment and fines
D．is all history in most countries

第4题
The practice of capital punishment is as old as government itself. For most of history, it has not been considered controversial. Since ancient times most governments have punished a wide variety of crimes by death and have conducted executions as a routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the mid-18th century, social critics in Europe began to emphasize the worth of the individual and to criticize government practices they considered unjust, including capital punishment. The controversy and debate over whether governments should utilize the death penalty continue today.
The first significant movement to abolish the death penalty began during the era known as the Age of Enlightenment. In 1764 Italian jurist and philosopher Cesare Becearia published an essay on Crimes and Punishments. Many consider this influential work the leading document in the early campaign against capital punishment. Other individuals who campaigned against executions during this period include French authors Voltaire and Denis Diderot, British philosophers David Hume and Adam Smith, and political theorist Thomas Paine in the United States.
Critics of capital punishment argue that it is cruel and inhumane, while supporters consider it a necessary form. of revenge for terrible crimes. Those who advocate the death penalty declare that it is a uniquely effective punishment that prevents crime. However, advocates and opponents of the death penalty dispute the proper interpretation of statistical analyses of its preventing effect. Opponents of capital punishment see the death penalty as a human rights issue involving the proper limits of governmental power. In contrast, those who want governments to continue to execute tend to regard capital punishment as an issue of criminal justice policy. Because of these alternative viewpoints, there is a profound difference of opinion not only about what is the fight answer on capital punishment, but also about what type of question is being asked when the death penalty becomes a public issue.
We can learn from the first paragraph that in ancient times ______.
A．death penalty had been carried out before government came into being
B．people thought it was right for the government to conduct executions
C．death penalty was practiced scarcely in European countries
D．many people considered capital punishment unjust and cruel
第5题
The authorities have noticed a marked increase in "chatter". They have also picked up specific threats— some of them, it seems, to do with hijacking aircraft and crashing them into buildings. The targets reportedly included some big cities, for example, Las Vegas is a particular worry, but more obscure places were also chattered about, including Rappahannock County, or perhaps the town of Tappahannock, both in rural Virginia, and Valdez, in Alaska. The point of any such terrorism would be to make sure that no American anywhere felt safe.
A particular focus of concern has been flights from abroad. Air France canceled six flights between Paris and Los Angeles at American government's request. French authorities questioned and released a dozen or so passengers but several people with tickets, including one who was reportedly a trained pilot, failed to turn up for the flight. On December 29th some international airlines were ordered to place armed air marshals on flights over the United States.
On top of all this, there have also been more familiar signs of security being beefed up at nuclear plants, ports and other possible targets. Surface-to-air missiles have once again been conspicuously deployed in Washington, DC.
Inevitably, some people have begun to question whether putting the country on such a high state of readiness is worth it. The process costs about $1 billion a week. Critics worry that people will become unconcerned about repeated security alerts. They also complain about the government sending mixed signals: telling Americans they are in great jeopardy(危险) but also that they should go about their business as normal. However, the critics may be too fussy(挑剔的). It is extremely hard to see what else the government could have done without either ignoring credible threats or creating mass panic. This may be the only way to face the possible threats.
Why did officials appear more worried about the terror alert this time？
A．Because the raise of terror alert was in the seasonal festivities this time.
B．Because it was the fifth time to raise the terror alert to code orange.
C．Because terror alert would be kept at this level for a period of time.
D．Because officials in the Department of Defense all agreed on the decision.
