问题     In every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that people’s rights are protected and that people respect each other’s rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example, a town in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a can of food. Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it
Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example, the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can-openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seems like nonsense.
    Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don’t make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is"illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle. " Obviously, a massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law. But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent owners from moving their own cars. It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people’s cars. It is often harder to repeal a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sense now seem like nonsense.
We can conclude from the passage that______ . (  )
选项 A、a law system is necessary for every society
B、some laws that don’t make sense may also get passed
C、it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new one
D、some laws may seem strange as time passes
答案D
解析 推理题。文章第一段主要以举例的方式来讲述了某些奇怪的法律规定。在第二段中讲述了很多规定在其解决了相关的问题之后，仍然长时间地存在。这看起来很奇怪。在最后一段中讲述了这样的奇怪规定所带来的一系列问题。可见，整篇文章都在讲述某些法律随着时间的推移会变得不合时宜。
