参考答案
正确答案:B
“exonerate”一词的意思最接近于_______。[A]承认罪行[B]认定无罪[C]执行死刑[D]缓期执行【答案】B词汇题【解析】exonerate一词出现在文章的第四段。作者在第四段分析了死刑逐渐被各州废除的第一个原因....thegrowingnumberofprisonersondeathrowwhohavebeenexonerated一139andcountingsince1973。“越来越多的囚犯被exonerated...”而下文又出现了这样的句子,Evenmanypeoplewhosupportcapitalpunishmentintheorybalkwhentheyareconfrontedwithclearevidencethatinnocentpeoplearebeingsentencedtodeath.“甚至很多死刑的支持者在面对无辜的人被判处死刑的铁证时也倒吸一口凉气。”可见exonerate应该指对判处死刑的人进行赦免,宣布无罪。正确答案应该选[B]。
