1、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held ____ by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

2、Fighting fｏｒa Brighter Future fｏｒWomenWhen I was asked what it means to be a woman running fｏｒpresident, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because thought I\'d be the best president.But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers ａｎｄ　biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, ａｎｄ　I want to build an America that respects ａｎｄ　embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter\'s future ａｎｄ　a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women ａｎｄ　men understａｎｄ　the struggles of their grandmothers ａｎｄ　their mothers, ａｎｄ　that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, ａｎｄ　equal respect.Let us resolve ａｎｄ　work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): there are no acceptable limits, ａｎｄ　there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21 st century in our country.You can also be so proud of it, from now on, it will be unremarkable fｏｒa woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to let a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. ａｎｄ　this is truly remarkable my friends.We are disappointed that we couldn\'t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign. It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.We always aim high, work hard, ａｎｄ　care deeply about what you believe in. ａｎｄ　when you stumble (绰倒), keep faith. And, when you\'re knocked down, get right back up ａｎｄ　never listen to anyone who says you can\'t ｏｒshouldn\'t go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman will leave the Earth ａｎｄ　orbit (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.America\'s 50th female astronaut is right now moving round the Earth.【单选题】

3、WealthAmong the more colorful characters of Leadville\'s golden age were H. AW. Tabｏｒａｎｄ　his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife ａｎｄ　two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, ｏｒperhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville\'s fortune ａｎｄ　wealth. Tabｏｒknew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, ａｎｄ　tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food ａｎｄ　supplies, ｏｒ"grub", while they looked fｏｒore, in return fｏｒwhich he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this fｏｒa number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in ａｎｄ　asked fｏｒ"grub". Tabｏｒhad decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, ａｎｄ　Tabｏｒwas too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won\'t make any difference," He said ａｎｄ　went on selling shoes ａｎｄ　hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in gave Tabｏｒa one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside ａｎｄ　began to dig, After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabｏｒbought the shares of the other two men, ａｎｄ　so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made l,300,000 fｏｒTabｏｒin return fｏｒhis $17 investment.Later Tabｏｒbought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabｏｒbecame its first mayor, ａｎｄ　later became lieutenant governｏｒof the state.If this passage is the first part of an article, who might be introduced in the following part?【单选题】

A.Tabor\'s life.

B.Tabor\'s second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.

C.Other colorful characters.

D.Tabor\'s other careers.

正确答案:B

答案解析:如果本文是一篇文章的第一部分，那么在文章的第二部分将介绍谁呢？答案可以从文章第1句分析出来，在Leadville的黄金年代，Tabor及其第二任妻子Elizabeth McCourt是值得大书特书的，接着文章都在讲述有关H. AW. Tabor发家致富的历史，比如先买下匹兹堡矿，后又买下Matchless矿，最后成为市长、代理州长，等等。因此下边再讲的话，应该是女主人公即Elizabeth McCourt的故事了，她是Tabor的第二任妻子，这是顺理成章的事。
