Capital punishment, or the death penalty, is the execution of an offender sentenced to death after conviction by a court of law of a criminal offense. Capital punishment 31 murder and rape was widely 32 in ancient Greece. The Romans also used it for a wide 33 of offenses. It also has been 34 at one time or another by most of the world’s major religions. w=,bF$:fIW
Death was formerly the penalty for a large number of offenses in England during the 17th and 18th centuries, but 35 was never applied as widely as the law provided. As in other countries, many offenders who 36 capital crimes escaped the death penalty, either because juries or courts would not convict them 37 because they were pardoned, usually on condition that they agreed to banishment; some were sentenced to the 38 punishment of transportation to the then American 39 and later to Australia. 1GE[*$vuq
From ancient times until well into the 19th century, many societies administered exceptionally 40 forms of capital punishment. In Rome the condemned for parricide (杀父母亲人) 41 drowned in a sealed bag with a dog. Executions in ancient China were carried 42 by many painful methods, such as sawing the condemned in half, flaying him while still 43 , and boiling. By the end of the 20th century many jurisdictions had adopted lethal injection. a0~LZQ?
Historically, executions were public 44 , attended by large crowds, and the mutilated bodies were often displayed 45 they rotted. Public executions were banned in England in 1868, 46 they continued to take place in parts of the United States until the 1930s. In the last half of the 20th century, there was considerable debate 47 whether executions should be 48 on television. Since the mid-1990s public executions have taken place in 49 20 countries, though the practice has been condemned by the United Nations Human Rights Committee as "incompatible with human 50 ."

Part IV Reading Comprehension (25%) 9HB+4q[
Directions: There are five passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I. u8.F_'` z
Passage 1 .do8\
All around us is a world of tiny living things called microbes. They are everywhere—in the air, in the soil, in the water we drink. They are on our food, hands, clothes, and everything we touch. The dust that settles on the furniture carries them. They are on walls, ceiling, floors. They may be very tiny—most of them too small to be seen—but they are constantly doing things all about us. Some of the things they do are very useful. The cheese and bread that we eat have become the foods they are because of the work of microbes. We owe our sauerkraut, pickles, vinegar, sour cream, and favorite kinds of sour milk to microbes. Our earth stays fertile because of the activity of the billions of microbes in the soil. t0,=U8]w
Microbes are responsible, too, for some annoying things that happen every day in your home. If you forget to change the water in a vase of flowers, it begins to smell; microbes are at work. Bread left in a package too long gets moldy. Your clothes may mildew. Your food may spoil. All of these things mean microbes at work. /% g+|C
Microbes are also at work when people get sick. In fact, most people think of microbes as something to be destroyed. It is true that certain microbes do cause disease, but they are a very small part of the microbe population. Out of every thirty thousand kinds of microbes, the chances are that just one is harmful and likely to cause disease. Most microbes are harmless. And some microbes themselves produce the most powerful weapons we have yet found to conquer disease. The "wonder drugs" such as penicillin and streptomycin are products of the activity of microbes. _o[fjd
51. According to the passage, microbes are _______. LTxP@pr
A. both dynamic and static KRz~3yH{c
B. both powerful and controllable :_}xN!9LA
C. both widespread and confined da<
