问题 In ancient times, judges often resorted to trial by ordeal in cases where no concrete evidence was available on either side.

选项 A、test
B、threat
C、torture
D、terror

答案C

解析    (1)句子结构。
   本题句子结构:In ancient times(时间状语),judges(主语)often resorted to(谓语)trial(宾语)by ordeal in cases where no concrete evidence was available on either side (画线部分是由where引导的定语从句,修饰cases)。
(2)选项词义。
A.test n.测试;考察;考验,检验;检查
B.threat n.威胁,恐吓;构成威胁的人(或事物)
C.torture n.酷刑,刑讯;拷问
D.terror n.惊恐,恐怖的事;(通常出于政治目的的)恐怖行动
   句子大意为“在古代,如果双方无法提供确凿证据,法官往往以严刑拷打来断案”。原句中ordeal意为“折磨”,与选项中torture意思最为接近,因此选项C正确。
