Some recent reports on the death penalty have brought some interesting responses from readers all over the country．Although I really don’t like to make fun of people who oppose the death penalty because they are so sincere, I wish they would come up with some new arguments to replace the worn-out ones．

For example, many said something like this: “Wouldn’t it be better to keep the killers alive so psychiatrists(精神科醫(yī)生) can study them in order to find out what makes them the way they are?”

It takes the average psychiatrist about five years to figure why a guy wants to stop for two drinks after work and won’t quit smoking．So how long do you think it will take him to determine why somebody with an IQ of 92 decided to murder the little old lady who lives next door? Besides, we have a huge number of killers in our prisons—more than enough to keep all the nation’s psychiatrists busy for the next 20 years．

Another standard is: “The purpose of the law should be to protect society, not to give cruel punishment, such as the death penalty．”

In that case, we should tear down all the prisons and let all the criminals go because most people would consider a long period in prison to be cruel punishment—especially those who are locked up．Even 30 days in the Cook County Prison is no picnic．

And: “What gives society the right to take a life if an individual can’t?” The individuals who make up society give it that right．Societies perform many functions that individuals can’t．We can’t carry guns and shoot people, but we give that right to police．

Words can not explain the suffering the families of murder victims are left to live with．The families suffer a terrible loss, and they live with terrible memories．The knowledge that the killers are alive and will probably remain alive and cared for by society is extremely painful．Probably, people who oppose the death penalty should try explaining to these people how cruel it is to kill someone．

72．What’s the writer’s attitude towards death penalty?

A．Death penalty is a must.        

B．Death penalty doesn’t solve all the problems.

C．Death penalty should be practiced more carefully.

D．Death penalty should only be used on murderers.

A．Two                              B．Three                            C．Four                              D．Five

74．What does the last sentence of the text suggest?

       A．It’s cruel to use death penalty to kill someone.

       B．Murder victims need more comfort from the society.

       C．Opponents of death penalty should offer explanations.

       D．Murderers should be put to death as the punishment.

75．The author develops the passage by _______．

A．providing typical examples of death penalty 

B．following the natural time order

C．presenting and analyzing ideas

第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中能填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words : I’m sorry . Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 71  

It’s not about winning.

Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong , or by making him be the first to apologize .

In reality, you’ll BOTH LOSE if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will BOTH WIN if you find a way to heal it.

72   

You may have heard the expression.“His pride stood in the way .”It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “ right ” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever . 73    Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 74    You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long , or that you overreacted (反應(yīng)過度) to something your friend did . If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.  75   

A. Then try to be the first to apologize.

B. Stop thinking about your pride.

C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.

E. Here are some things to keep in mind.

F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first .

G. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better .
