在职申硕（同等学力）英语模拟试卷118 (题后含答案及解析)

题型有：1. The main importance of this organization has been its efforts to

prevent strict gun control legislation. The NRA has great political support in small

towns and rural areas, especially in the West and the South, where hunting is

especially popular. Those who favor the right to possess guns insist that the

Constitution provides the right of people “to keep and bear arms”. They believe that

gun control laws will not solve the problem of crime and violence in America.

Recent events in America, however, have shown that the question of gun possession is

now out of control and strong voices have called for immediate action to be taken. In

seemingly peaceful schools students have gone into classrooms and opened fire upon

their classmates. America has been shocked by such incidents which seem to occur

with greater frequency. The periodic deaths of innocent citizens and even foreign

visitors from guns have forced legislators to pass laws to stop these senseless killings.

The day may not be far off when America will be transformed from a gun culture to

one which controls their use and possession.

people would never want to own a gun，others have taken up hunting as a sport and

enjoy hunting wild game in season．Hunting for deer and duck in fall and winter is

very much a part of the American culture．”意为“尽管多数美国人并不愿意持有枪支，但是其他一些美国人则认为持枪狩猎是一种运动。在秋冬季节，这种活动已经成为美国文化的一部分。”

26． The National Rifle Association was established to________.

A．help strengthen gun control laws

B．unite people who possess guns

C．defend Americans’ right to possess guns

defend and support their rights to possess firearms the National Rifle

Association(NRA) was founded in 1871．The main importance of this organization

has been its efforts to prevent strict gun control legislation．”我们可以知道该组织存在的主要目的是来保护美国人拥有枪支的权利。

正确答案：D

解析：通读全文可知作者的态度是中立的，没有其他的感情色彩，所以正确答案为D。文中既讲到了持有枪支是美国社会中一个比较严重的问题，也客观地描述了持有枪支是美国社会文化的一部分，还提到了美国持枪协会对这一问题的态度。

Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the

conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of

most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities

the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are

discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In

almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the

“typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than

his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life.

What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a

world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called

Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line life” will lead

to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French

style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good

things in life—to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just

happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940’s life in France

has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some

of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university
