【正文】 le, 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 that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to murders for each 100 000 population. The sharp climb in the state39。s murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed, innocent people will be murderedsome 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.61. The principal purpose of this passage is to ________.

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark the corresponding letter on your ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. What39。s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? Thefirst time you 66 thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom 67 events muchearlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four 68 retain any specific, personal experiences. A variety of explanations have been 69 bypsychologists for this childhood amnesia (兒童失憶癥). One argues that the hippocampus, the　region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature 70 about the age of　two. But the most popular theory 71 that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot　 72 childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or 73—one event follows 74 as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental 75 for　early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don39。t find any that fits the 76 . It39。s　like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary. Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new 77 forchildhood amnesia. She argues that there simply 78 any early childhood memories to recall.According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use 79 spoken description of their personalexperiences in order to turn their own shortterm, quickly 80 impressions of them into longterm memories. In other 81 , children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about 82 Mother talking about the afternoon 83 looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this 84 reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form 85 memories of their personal experiences.66. A. listened B. felt C. touched　 D. heard67.
