As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm(火器)fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one.
"The Constitution," said the association’s spokesman, "gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn’t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves."
"Don’t you think it’s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?"
"The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse(导火索)separately in a drawer."
"Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody."
The spokesman said, "Hydrogen bombs don’t kill people--people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they’re going to think twice about breaking in."
"But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder(侵入者).”
"Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is hacking is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns." [br] By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it ______.
选项
A、will frighten away any possible intruders
B、can show the special status of its owners
C、will threaten the safety of the owners as well
D、can kill those entering others’ houses by force
答案
A
解析
原文同义转述。第六段第二句发言人说氢弹还有一种威慑作用(a deterrent effect),紧跟着下一句就说:如果入侵者知道你家中拥有核武器,他就会三思而行。可见“a deterrent effect”指的就是能吓跑入侵者。选项A)正确。
