More than 6,000 children were expelled (开除) from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
The department gave a report on the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996~1997, against 7 percent for rifle (步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.
“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school,”Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.“We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”
In March 1997, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducah, Kentucky.
Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13.34 percent were from high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.

解析:
此文为一篇新闻报道。报道了美国开除了随身携带枪支的学生,并列举了 1997年发生在校内的暴力事件。1.C 本题为推断题。第一段中讲道:美国学校去年开除了多名学生,原因是他们携带枪支弹药到学校。从这一点不难看出,美国学校学生的安全的确是个大问题,故C项为正确选项。 2.D 文中第二段提到:被开除的学生中58% for handguns, 7% for rifles or shotguns and 35% for other types of firearms。显然。美国没有专门的法律手段对公民的持枪行为进行管制,随身带枪不受任何限制,故D项正确。 3.A 本题为综合归纳题。第四段中列举了1997年美国各学校中发生的一些枪杀案件,所以A项为正确答案。 4.B 本题为事实辨认题。第四段中分别列出了1997年中各月份里被枪杀的人数,3月份有4个学生、1名教师死亡;10月份有2名学生死亡,Two months later,又有3名高中生被杀,被杀人数为10人,其中学生死亡人数为9人。所以B项入选。 5.C 根据2题的分析,不难看出C项为正确答案。 |
