Tragedy, sudden and terrible, has again struck an American school: fifteen lives were lost and a city and a nation left with scars that cannot be removed. Because guns and explosives were used to cause the mayhem (残害人体器官罪), the immediate outcry (疾呼) is for gun control laws.
Most likely the shotguns and even the one-hand guns used were legally purchased and registered, and probably the guns were the property of the fathers of the boys who used them. Shotguns are the most common guns used in the sport of hunting small game animals and birds.
The possibility of passing laws forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns would be very slight. There would be intense opposition to such laws. On the other hand, laws forbidding handguns have a greater chance of enactment. But then the familiar saying would become fact, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
Many crimes in America are committed by people using guns. Most of these people have a record of criminal offenses. By law these criminals are not allowed to purchase or own guns. Do they care? NO. They do not obey laws and find other ways to get guns.
The problem is a people problem, not just a gun problem. In America, we have become a nation that has largely rejected the traditional rules and ethics of Western society that have helped it become a society of progress and the rule of law.
Behind societies ruled by law — maybe in the shadows, but still there — was the ominous (预兆的) feeling that over us all was a higher law that man is ultimately answerable to. Man’s laws were therefore supposed to be an extension of this law.
Modern society has moved beyond this concept to a very self-centered concept of "I am my own law". There is no more black and white or absolute right or wrong. No higher law determines it; we decide individually. What seems right and feels right for me is therefore "right". Also, what is "right" in one situation may be "wrong" in another, and what is "wrong" for you may be "right" for me. This concept is called moral relativism. Depending upon circumstances and how we feel about an action, it becomes right or wrong for us. Since most of society does not teach that. [br] What brought about the outcry for gun control laws in America?
选项
A、High murder rates and acute social tension.
B、The sports of hunting small game animals and birds.
C、The tragedy caused by guns which happened in a school.
D、The purpose of forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的outery for gun control laws将本题出处定位到首段。该段首句提到,可怕的悲剧突然再次在一所美国中学上演:15人丧生,第二句提到,这次严重伤害的罪行是由于有人使用枪支和弹药,所以人们疾呼出台枪支管制法。由此可推知,枪支造成了学校的悲剧,所以人们呼吁出台枪支管制法,故答案为[C]。[A]是根据首段首句进行的错误推断,故排除;第二段末句提到猎枪是在小型狩猎运动中猎取动物和鸟类时最常用的枪支,但并未说是因为这个狩猎运动人们呼吁出台枪支管制法,故排除[B];[D]是针对第三段首句The possibility of passing laws forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns设的干扰项。
