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.
【C6】
选项 A、capable
B、liable
C、apt
D、possible
答案A
解析 A项capable意为"能……的，有做出(坏事)的倾向的"，B项liable意为"有……倾向的"，C项apt意为"易于……的，有……倾向的"。从意思角度考虑，A、B和C都符合题意的要求。但liable和apt后面只能接不定式，不能接介词of，而ca—pable后面只接of，不接不定式，因此从语法角度考虑，只能选A。D项possible(可能的)既不能与表示人的主语搭配使用，也不能后接of。
