American Gun Pays Deluge
Recently, many people have been killed by gun-shot in America. In the past, national political leaders might have raised troubling questions about how an unstable character could obtain easy access to high-powered weapons. They might have been even more motivated given that Poplawski’s cop-killing case was part of a near epidemic of mass murders that have left 58 people dead over the past month. Or given that Mexico’s madly violent drug groups are arming them selves with high-powered assault (攻击) weapons purchased at US gun stores and later smuggled south of the border. Yet many past champions of stricter gun-control measures ars silent. These include about top Obama White House officials who have forbade any talk within the administration about pushing further gun-control measures.
Running for president in last year’s Democratic primaries, Barack Obama promised to restore a federal ban on certain semiautomatic (半自动的) assault guns—a position that’s still on the White House Web site. The ban was originally passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress in 1994 and abolished five years ago. In recent years the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (烟酒枪支爆炸物管理局) has also lifted virtually all restriction on imports of foreign-made assault weapons, permitting a flood of cheap Romanian, Bulgarian and other Eastern European AK-47s to enter the country, according to gun-control groups.
But Obama and to White House aides have all but abandoned the issue. Emanuel helped arrange passage of the original assault-weapons ban when he worked in the Clinton White House. Now he and other White House strategists have decided they can’t afford to debate with the National Rifle Association at a time when they’re pushing other priorities, like economic renewal and health-care reform, say congressional officials. A White House official, who asked not to identified discussing internal strategy, says," there isn’t support in Congress for such a ban at his time." A White House spokesman says, " the President supports the Second Amendment, respects the tradition of gun ownership in this country, and be believes we can take common-sense steps to keep our streets safe." Pointing to $ 2 billion in new funding for state and local law enforcement in the stimulus package. [br] What is the most probable meaning of the word "smuggle’’ (Line 14, Para. 1)?
选项
A、Use a smug to take something away secretly.
B、Take goods illegally from one country to another.
C、Give everything to a person who can be helpful.
D、Devote all time and energy to one’s own country.
答案
B
解析
语义理解题。由题干中的smuggle定位到第一段倒数第三句,由该句可知,墨西哥贩毒团伙在美国购买枪支后走私到南部边境。可见,smuggle在此处意为“偷带,走私”。 故[B]“非法地把货物从一个国家带到另一个国家”,符合原文意思。[A]“用杯子把物品偷偷带走”、[C]“把一切都交给对自己有帮助的人”和[D]“为自己的祖国鞠躬尽瘁”与原句意思不符,故排除。
