It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sports lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in ones backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.Some opponents (反對(duì)者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.68. In the writer s opinion, people should use handguns only when .A. hunters shoot at animals B. they aim at a criminalC. objects are under control D. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard69. According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because .A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animalsB. state government encourages hunters to use other gunsC. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animalsD. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns70. This passage mainly talks about .A. the relation between hunting and handgun controlB. the importance of aim practiceC. how handgun control affects huntingD. different types of guns used in hunting參考答案*結(jié)束Why I dont spare “Spare Change” “Poor but honest.” “The deserving ( 值得幫助的) poor.” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor.” But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol (酒) or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction (上癮) really are “diseases,” as many people say, but my own feeling-based, of course, not on any serious study-is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor.” And that is largely why I dont give spare change to beggars. But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.” Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the governments assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)), but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat? If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that ones money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment-a cup of coffee or a sandwich-and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.I know nothing about these beggars, but its my impression that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the people whom I actually meet. Thats why I do not give “spare change,” and I dont think I will in the future.67. What does the author think of beggars who take drugs? A. They should be given a check-up.B. They really need money to live. C. They are not worth helping.D. They have no pleasure in life.68. Why doesnt the author give money to street people? A. He doesnt think they need help.B. He is not convinced they will use it rightly. C. He doesnt have enough money to give. D. He believes they can get help from the government. 69. In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by . A. expressing his opinions directlyB. giving examples to support his argument C. raising questions and answering themD. asking questions for people to think about70. Which of the following opinions does the author accept? A. Some street people are poor and needy.B. Drug addiction is a disease. C. Most beggars have received enough help.D. charitable organizations handle money properly.參考答案D-67. C 68. B 69. D 70. A*結(jié)束Imagine that you are in school, giving a speech to your class. Now think what it feels like when stammering (口吃) makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.The Kings Speech, which won the best picture at the Academy Awards in March, 2011, focuses on stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britains King George VI, who became king after his brother Edward VIII gave up the crown to marry an American woman. As a result of British actor Colin Firths performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a persons self-confidence and cause him or her to escape from life. “The serious problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with a news reporter. “Stammering masks your ability,” he said. “It's a serious disability.”Most stammerers face bullying (欺負(fù)) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”. George VIs stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply dont like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said. Travis Treats from StLouis University praised The Kings Speech. He said it shows that “how ones speech does not mean what one is inside”. He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world. 56. The author writes the first 3 paragraphs to . A. show how harmful stammer is for common peopleB. introduce a famous movie winning great awardsC. tell the story of the king who suffers from stammerD. draw readers attention to the problem of stammer57. We learn from the passage that .A. stammerers face bullying in school but not in the workplaceB. Edward VIII gave up his crown because he was a stammererC. stammerers should be understood and can contribute to the worldD. the sufferings caused by stammer havent been found yet58. According to Norbert Lieckfeldt, A. the voice of stammering people cannot be heardB. people who stammer do better in work than schoolC. there are a lot of things that stammering people can give to usD. the serious problem of stammering remains unseen and unheard59. The paragraph that follows the last will probably talk about A. the success the king made by overcoming stammerB. the medical treatments given to the stammerersC. doctors opinions upon the serious stammer problemD. how popular the movie The Kings Speech will become*結(jié)束
