问题 Although bound to impose the law, a judge is free to use his discretion to______the anachronistic barbarity of some criminal penalties.

选项 A、mitigate
B、understand
C、condone
D、provoke

答案A

解析 本题考查动词辨析。根据句意“尽管有强制执行法律的义务,法官可以自行决定______那些不合时宜的野蛮刑罚”判断,法官可以减轻或废除野蛮刑罚,mitigate(减轻,缓解,缓和)符合语义,故为答案。understand意为“理解;了解;谅解”。condone意为“容忍,纵容(不道德行为)”。provoke意为“对……挑衅,激怒;激起,引起”。
