In Favor of the Death Penalty
With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty．Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as deterrent to crime anyway.
In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil．Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder．But some are more extreme than others.
For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style．of a butcher．Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree．While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.
The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate．But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them．Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows the death penalty deters murder．For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population．Since 19 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence (巧合)．It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murders．If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed (否决), innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect．This is literally a life or death matter．The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.
The principle purpose of this passage is to ______.
A.
criticize the government
B.
argue for the value of the death penalty
C.
speak for the majority
D.
initiate a veto

A.
Aircraft Carriers are a powerful and extremely flexible part of a nation’s defense. A carrier is flexible in a way that armies and air forces are not because it can influence s merely by being seen. The power of an aircraft carrier can act as a visible deterrent (威慑物) to enemy aggression. A carrier is also flexible because it operates on the ocean. Unlike a land air base, no other country has to be consulted about where a carrier can go and what it can be used for because most of the ocean is considered international water and not part of any one country. This allows carriers to move from one trouble spot to another quite easily. Carriers operate with a number of support and supply ships; this flotilla (驱逐舰队) of ships is referred to as a carrier battle group.
B.
Since World War II (1939-1945), carriers have primarily been used to influence world s and to support troops ashore. When the Korean War (1950-1953) broke out in June 1950, United States Navy careers were the only military airpower immediately available to engage the enemy. U.S. Air Force units were unable to respond for several months. Aircraft carriers were also the first American units to arrive on the scene during the Vietnam War 1959-1975)and the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991).
C.
While carriers are important, they are also quite expensive, so there are only a few patrolling 巡逻) he world’s oceans today. Approximately 40 carriers of all types are currently in use or are being built. Of these, over half are in service in the U.S. Navy. A typical American nuclear powered aircraft carrier can cost well over $ 4 billion and take five years to build.
