It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons, seen as such by the sports lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in ones backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.29In the writers opinion, people should use handguns only when .A. hunters shoot at animals B. they aim at a criminalC. objects are under control D. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard30According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because .A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animalsB. state government encourages hunters to use other gunsC. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animalsD. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns31This passage mainly talks about .A. the relation between hunting and handgun controlB. the importance of aim practiceC. how handgun control affects huntingD. different types of guns used in huntingGiven Australias size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the countrys youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheeps back, a reference to wool being the countrys main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australias relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australias liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a blend of nations and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.32What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. in the first paragraph? A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever. B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents. C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed. D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.33Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.34The underlined pronoun it in the final paragraph refers to “_.Community B. racism C. blend of Nations D. Southeast Asia35We can infer from the passage that _.A. there are no signs of Australias colonial past in its modern citiesB. Australias recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD. “riding on sheeps back resulted in slow development in rural communities36This passage mainly focuses on Australias _. A. society B. economy C. racial problems D. historyIn cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. Some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of economic decision, such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.37There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may_.cause a shortage of apartmentsworry those who rent apartments as homes.increase the profits of landlords.encourage landlords to invest in building apartments.38We can safely say that rent control_.will always benefit those who rent apartments.is unnecessary.will probably bring inactive effects in the long run.is necessary under all conditions39There will be the problem of unemployment if _.the minimum wage is set too high.the minimum wage is set too early.the workers are unskilled.the maximum wage is set for poor workers.40The passage tells us about _.the relationship between supply and demand.the possible results of government controls.the necessity of government control.the urgency of getting rid of government control.41Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted. B. Minimum wage cannot always protect employees. C. Economic theory can help predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing. D. Economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision.Urban legends are stories that are told and believed in many placesToo many places，in factIt simply isnt credible that the same unlikely events take place in so many different townsFor some reason，though，that particular set of events appeals to the imagination and the tale spreads A very common North American urban legend concerns a mad man in the woodsA dangerous mad man has escaped from a hospital for the mentally illAt some point in his life he has lost a hand and it has been replaced by a hookA boy and a girl are out dating，sitting in a carThey hear on the radio that the area is dangerous，so they drive offWhen they arrive home they find a bloodstained hook hanging on the door handle of the car door next to the girl Missing kidney(肾)stories are fairly commonOf course，the details are variableIt might be a woman waking up in a strange hotel in Bangkok，or a man finding himself in a cold bath in Torontoor a young man with faint memories of wild disco party，but they all find a flesh wound，and discover that one of their kidneys has been removed and，probably, sold The back seat killer has plenty of dramaA woman gets into her Car late at nightAnother Car follows her, speeding，flashing lights and really frightening herShe gets home and keeps on pressing the hornHer husband runs outThe chasing car stopsThe husband demands to know why the driver has been frightening his wifeHe says he saw a strange man get into the back of the car as the wife got in，and then hideThey go and look，and there is a dangerous mad man.42What is the writers attitude towards “urban legends?
