问题                             Campus Shooting
    The day of terror at the Virginia Polytechnic State University in Blacksburg began at about 7:15 a. m. , with the shooting of a woman and a male resident adviser on the fourth floor of a dorm building on campus. Kristen Bensley, a freshman who lived below the floor where the shooting occurred, told TIME, "there were rumors going on about the assailant was fighting with his girlfriend or something of that nature." Bensley notes that only residents can get into the building, using a specific "passport", that is, a card that one has to swipe in order to open doors before 10 : 00 a. m. If he was an outsider, someone would have had to let him in. Or more likely, he was a resident of the dorm himself. If so, how did he keep so much ammunition unnoticed?
    Unlike high schools, most universities can’t beef up security with a metal detector or two. So what can be done to protect students? Other questions remain unanswered. Why was there a two-hour gap between the incident at the dorm and a far more fatal one across campus? At one point, that led to theorizing that more than one gunman was involved. The gunman who killed at least 30 people at Norris Hall shortly after 9:00 a.m. was described by some sources as an Asian man.
    It has been a surreal time for the students. Brandon Stiltner, a senior aerospace engineering student, and Jonathan Hess, a senior mechanical engineer, were watching TV all day but by noon they’d had enough. " We decided we needed to do something," Stiltner said. "We were worthless sitting around." So they took their six-foot Virginia Tech sign off the wall and logged into Facebook. Within the next few hours 100 people replied to their E-mail request for a vigil.
    By 8 p. m. , hundreds of students began filing down the steps of the War Memorial Chapel toward the drill field. Clusters of two and three students stood together in silence. Slowly they began to line up to sign the board. " I’m still really in disbelief," says Stiltner. The shock of the day’s shootings sank in, Hess said, as he carried the sign across campus for the vigil. "It hit me," Hess said, "to know that it was in these buildings." The media crews that swarmed campus were also surreal to Hess and Stiltner. "We could look out our window and see exactly what’s on TV," Stiltner says. He watched his sign crowded with initials and prayers, awaiting the names of the victims. He shuddered. "I hope I don’t have any nasty surprises."
Which statement can be inferred from the second paragraph?
选项 A、It’s impossible that a two-hour gap between the incident at the dorm and another one across campus.
B、More than one gunman was involved.
C、The gunman was an Asian man.
D、One of high school’s ways of keeping security is using a metal detector or two.
答案D
解析 推理判断题。由第二段第一句“与中学不同，大多数大学不可能用一两个金属检测器来提高安全性”可知，用一两个金属检测器来提高安全性是大多数中学采用的安全措施之一，故[D]正确。第四句对宿舍枪杀事件和校园里的另一起命案两个小时的时间间隔表示了怀疑，但这并不能确定地说这是不可能发生的。故[A]不正确；[B]也只是推测，并非最后结论，所以也不正确；[C]说法太绝对，袭击者只被some sources描述成an Asian man，消息是从某些渠道得来的，并非确切结果。
