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。
