问题 The Congress failed to enact legislation in the ______ of the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.

选项 A、consequence
B、outcome
C、result
D、aftermath

答案D

解析 aftermath强调因战争、暴风雨、事故等不幸事件的“后果或余波”。如:Several people resigned in the aftermath of the scandal.(几个人在丑闻发生后辞职。)本题的“康涅狄格州纽敦枪击案”属于不幸事件,aftermath符合语境,故选D。consequence,outcome和result均为中性词,在本题表贬义的语境中,不如aftermath好,故排除。
