　　真题：Listening comprehension 3

　　M: Now I'll take some questions.

　　W: Well, Mr. Brown, I have a question. Isn't it true that the public

　　supports the death penalty? I read that according to recent statistics, 67% of

　　Americans favor the death penalty in cases of murder. That's two thirds of the

　　population.

　　M: It's true that there is a support for the death penalty. But it's also

　　true that people's moods and opinions are difficult to understand through

　　statistics. I think this figure might reflect people's concern about violent

　　crime in general. United States is by far the most violent industrialized

　　nation. In the United States, there're about 9 murders a year per 100,000

　　people. In Japan, for example, that figure is 0.5. In France, it's 1.1. So

　　Americans are understandably concerned about violence.

　　W: Excuse me, Mr. Brown. What did you say the figure was in the United

　　States?

　　M: It's about 9 murders per year per 100,000 people.

　　W: I'd like to make a comment. I mean, if someone commits a really bad

　　crime, don't they deserve to be punished just severely?

　　M: As I often tell my students at the university, the problem of the death

　　penalty is that on an emotional level. You can understand why people want it. If

　　you suffer the loss of a loved one, your immediate response is to want revenge.

　　It's a normal natural reaction. But I feel that the reason we have laws is that

　　they allow us to rise above our personal emotional response to crime. This form

　　of retribution is not the answer. The idea of having laws in a society is that

　　together as society we're stronger than a sum of our parts, we can rise above

　　our personal emotional response to crime. The legal system is supposed to

　　elevate us. It is set up so that it is better than us. Individually, we are

　　flawed. But as a society, we are strong.

　　W: I thought it was interesting what you said about the death penalty not

　　being fair, because it was applied to some people but not to others. Could you

　　talk a little bit more about that 12 students?

　　M: Yes. In many ways, capital punishment is very arbitrary. If you really

　　believed in the death penalty as a principle, as a punishment for a horrific

　　crime, then every single person who has committed this crime would have to be

　　executed. But that would mean that we would have about 50,000 executions a year.

　　That's absurd! Nobody would stand for that. It would mean that the state was

　　some kind of killing machine. The fact is that we do not execute some people,

　　but other people who have committed similar crimes are not executed. So the

　　death penalty is not applied equally to all people.

　　W: Mr. Brown, I'd like to thank you for your comments today. I'm opposed to

　　the death penalty myself, and I don't think we talk enough about the issues.

　　Q11: About what issue is Mr. Brown being interviewed?

　　Q12: What is the approximate number of murders a year per 100,000 people in

　　the United States?

　　Q13: What is Mr. Brown most probably?

　　Q14: What does Mr. Brown actually say about the death penalty?

　　Q15: Which of the following statements is true according to the

　　interview?

　　解析：

　　第三篇访谈主要关于死刑——deathpenalty。美国人口三亿，却有将近300多万的犯人。不过，处死刑的却很少，这里的指导思想是对生命特别慎重。全美50个州中，有15个州根本没有死刑。出题思路与第一篇非常雷同，依次是：主题题、数字词、身份题和两道细节题。
