单选题 It seems that the author the gradual abolition of death penalty．

A．is satisfied with
B．is concerned about
C．harbors reservations about
D．is overwhelmed by

作者似乎对于死刑逐渐退出历史舞台感到——。
[A]满足
[B]担忧
[C]心存怀疑
[D]无法承受
【答案】A作者态度题
【解析】作者在整篇文章中似乎只是在客观陈述现象，但是也有个别地方流露了他的态度和观点。文章最后一段中，作者再次对现在美国出现的自下而上废除死刑的做法发表了观点。作者认为，由高等法院出台统一裁决废除死刑，当然执行力可能更强，但是现在这种自下而上逐步取消死刑的做法有其优势，因为它反映了普遍的民意，也见证了美国人对极刑的态度发生的转变。从这些语句中，我们都不难感觉到作者对于这种自下而上逐步取消死刑的方式感到满意。
正确答案选[A]。

1根据以下资料回答：
　　It’s the part of the job that stock analyst Hiroshi Naya dislikes the most：phoning investor managers on a Saturday or Sunday when he’s working on a report and facing a deadline．In Japan，placing a work call to someone on the weekend“feels like entering someone’s house with your shoes on，”says Naya，chief analyst at Ichiyoshi Research Institute in Toky0．So last year，Naya started asking his questions via messages on Facebook．While a telephone call seems intrusive，he says，a Facebook message“feels more relaxed．”
　　Many Japanese have become fans of Mark Zuckerberg’s company in the past year．It’s taken a while：Even as Facebook took off in India，Indonesia，and other parts of Asia，it’s been a laggard in Japan since its local—language version debuted in 2008．The site faced cultural obstacles in a country where people historically haven’t been comfortable sharing personal information，or even their names，on the Internet．Homegrown rivals such as community website operator Mixi and online game portals such as DeNA allow their users to adopt pseudonyms．
　　The Japanese are overcoming their shyness，though．In February，Facebook had 13．5 million unique users，up from 6 million a year earlier．That puts Facebook in the N0．1 position in Japan for the first time，ahead of Twitter and onetime leader Mixi．“Facebook didn，t have a lot of traction in Japan for the longest time，”says Arvind Rajan，Asia—Pacific managing director for LinkedIn，which entered the Japanese market last October and hopes to emulate Facebook’s recent success．“They really did turn the corner，”he says．Rajan attributes the change in attitude to the March 11，20 11，earthquake and tsunami．During the crisis and its aftermath，sites such as Facebook helped parents and children locate each other and allowed people post and find reliable information．“The real—name case has been answered．”says Rajan．“People are getting it now．”
　　Japanese see Facebook as a powerful business t001．The real—name policy makes the site a good place to cultivate relationships with would_be partners．As more companies such as retailers Uniqlo and Muji turn to Facebook to reach Japanese consumers，the Silicon Valley company is benefiting from a virtuous cycle，says Koki Shiraishi，an analyst in Tokyo with Daiwa Securities Capital Markets．“It’s a chicken—and—egg thing：If everyone starts using it，then more people start using it．”
　　As a result of Facebook’s rise．investors have soured on some of its rivals：DeNA’s stock price has dropped 24 percent in the past year，and Mixi’s has fallen 38 percent.Growth at Twitter--which also entered Japan in 2008--has stagnated，and the San Francisco company has partnered with Mixi to do joint marketing．Twitter Japan country manager James Kondo says there’s no reason to worry．Japan’s social networking scene“is a developing thing，”he says．“We，re not in a flat market where everyone is competing for a share of a fixed pie．”
Hiroshi Naya takes a fancy to Facebook because_______．

A．it enables him to reach out to business partners
B．it saves the trouble of face—to—face meeting
C．it flees him from making awkward calls
