Question

【題目】Anyone who wants to buy a gun in California will have to wait for 2 weeks. Four people waited for 15 days to buy guns. Then they robbed a store and shot 3 people .

Congress(國(guó)會(huì)) is now trying to pass a law that will make everyone wait to buy a gun. Many people do not want this law. Others are glad it might happen. California is one of the longest waiting times for someone to buy a gun. A gun dealer said that this waiting time does not seems to do much good．He has not seen crime(犯罪) go away because of it.

One good thing that has happened with the waiting time to buy a gun is a smaller number of suicide (自殺) . a lot of suicides are with a gun. In California, there are less suicides by gun than in other places. One reason to make people wait to buy a gun is to make sure the guns are not sold to criminals(罪犯). Last year, this check stopped 2,400 guns from being sold to criminals. This check does not stop anyone else from buying a gun.

Many criminals buy guns on the street and not in a store… some people think that a law like this will not do any good．But other people think that if only one person is stopped from getting a gun, then this law is worth it.

【解析】試題分析：這篇文章講的是關(guān)于加利福利亞州槍支購(gòu)買(mǎi)的事情。國(guó)會(huì)準(zhǔn)備頒布一項(xiàng)法律，即買(mǎi)槍需等一段時(shí)間，用于確認(rèn)買(mǎi)槍的人是否為罪犯。一些人持贊同意見(jiàn)，一些人持反對(duì)意見(jiàn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中“One good thing that has happened with the waiting time to buy a gun is a smaller number of suicide (自殺) . a lot of suicides are with a gun. In California, there are less suicides by gun than in other places.”可知，購(gòu)買(mǎi)槍支需要等待一段時(shí)間這一規(guī)定帶來(lái)的一件好事情是自殺人數(shù)變少了，大部分的自殺都使用的是槍，在加州，用槍自殺的遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)少于其他地區(qū)。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)推理題。由文中“One reason to make people wait to buy a gun is to make sure the guns are not sold to criminals(罪犯). This check does not stop anyone else from buying a gun.”可知，法律頒布是為了確認(rèn)槍不是賣給罪犯，但是這個(gè)檢查并不阻止其他非犯罪人員買(mǎi)槍。所以法律通過(guò)后，犯罪分子想買(mǎi)槍就沒(méi)有那么容易了。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。由文中“Congress(國(guó)會(huì)) is now trying to pass a law that will make everyone wait to buy a gun. California is one of the longest waiting times for someone to buy a gun.國(guó)會(huì)正試圖通過(guò)一項(xiàng)法律，即每個(gè)人買(mǎi)槍都需要等待一段時(shí)間，加州的等待時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)”，可知，國(guó)會(huì)頒布的法律是針對(duì)所有州的，但每個(gè)州可以自己規(guī)定等待的時(shí)長(zhǎng)。選項(xiàng)AD排除。由文中“But other people think that if only one person is stopped from getting a gun, then this law is worth it.”可知，還是有很多人認(rèn)為這一法律通過(guò)后只要有一個(gè)犯罪分子因?yàn)橘I(mǎi)槍受阻而不能犯罪，那么這個(gè)法律就是值得的。所有還是有很多人是支持這一法律，因此國(guó)會(huì)的這一議案是否能通過(guò)還不確定。選項(xiàng)B排除。故選C。
