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 hostage 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 ____ 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、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods ａｎｄ　services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, ____ first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ　clothing", ａｎｄ　"services" such as transport ａｎｄ　entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ　minerals, ａｎｄ　have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ　a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years from civil ａｎｄ　external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ　other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ　stable political conditions, ａｎｄ　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ　consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ　other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

5、Desirable Qualities in a TeacherHere I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teacher\'s personality should be pleasantly live ａｎｄ　attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically plain, ｏｒeven ugly, because many such have great personal charm. I would say that excludes all of dull ｏｒpurely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential fｏｒa teacher to have a great capacity fｏｒsympathy in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant not indeed, of what is wrong, but of frailty （脆弱) ａｎｄ　immaturity of human nature which induce people, ａｎｄ　again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential fｏｒa teacher to be both intellectually ａｎｄ　morally honest. This does not mean _____ a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths.【单选题】

A.to be

C.be

D.to become
