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.

Just as the researchers (16) out, death penalty is (17) political.

A.rise
B.raise
C.arise
D.rinse
参考答案：B
解析：
[考点] 词义辨析+固定搭配
本题主要考查词义。raise的意思有很多，“养育”(raise a dog/child)、“举起”(raise your hands)、“提高”(raise your salary)、“募集”(raise the fund)、“唤起”(raise interest/doubts)等等，raise doubts意思是“引起质疑”，符合题意，从而确定正确答案是选项B。
[干扰项分析] rise和arise通常为不及物动词，意思是“出现、上升”，如果空格后直接跟了宾语，则可以直接排除这两个选项。虽同为不及物动词，这两个词搭配上也有区别，rise的主语多为具体名词，如the sun rises(太阳升起来了)，the river rises(河水上涨了)等，而arise的主语多为抽象名词，如new situation arises(新的局面出现)，hopes arise(燃起新的希望)等。解题时，首先看空格后有宾语doubts，因此判定空格要填及物动词，进而排除掉两个不及物动词(选项A、C)。另外，D选项rinse当及物动词用，意思是“漂洗、冲洗”，显然不能和doubts搭配。
