Gun Rights in the US
Immediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn the dead. The president and the state governor both hurried there to share the(51). But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to(52)weapons.
Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country(53)gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the(54)countries that seems unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.
In countries like Britain and Canada, the government adopted stricter(55)control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held(56)by the gun lobby and the electoral system.
The powerful National Rifle Association, the major supporter of gun(57)in the US, is too strong for any party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun controls anyway.(58)the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign for gun control or win power, not(59); they prefer power.

选项
A、fire
B、attacks
C、rights
D、violence
答案
C
解析
本文讨论的就是“枪支拥有权”,因此填入“rights”是对的。这个句子有点难。“take on”是“斗争”。整个句子说的是:强大的国家来复枪协会,是美国枪支拥有权的主要支持者,它太强大了,没有一个政党敢于跟它斗争的。
