问题     A new study finds that blacks on death row【1】of killing whites are more likely to be executed than whites who kill minorities. It also concludes that blacks who kill【2】minorities are【3】likely to be executed than blacks who kill whites. For example, there is more than a twofold greater risk that an African-American who killed a white will be executed than a white person who kills a【4】victim. A Hispanic is at least 1.4【5】more likely to be executed【6】such an offender kills a white.
    The researchers of the study believe that there are two【7】explanations.. First, prosecutors often win【8】office if they win well-publicized cases.

Just as the researchers【16】out, death penalty is【17】political.
    The findings of the study, in short, show that American justice systems clearly【18】white lives more than those of blacks or Hispanics. The researchers also say their findings【19】serious doubts about【20】that the U.S. criminal justice system is colorblind.
选项 A、supported
B、approved
C、ratified
D、hold
答案A
解析 本题考查词义辨析。A选项support表示“支持、支撑”不光用于具体意义，也常用于抽象意义，也就是说support的主语和宾语可以是人，也可以是抽象的东西。本题的意思是说，这一idea得到了很多case的支撑，换成主动句式，“很多案件都支撑了这一观点”。所以选项A为正确答案。
