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."
From this passage we can guess that the author is a______.
选项
A、reviewer
B、journalist
C、observer
D、novelist
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。全文从时间、地点、事件、人物几方面介绍了弗吉尼亚枪杀案,并有对学生的采访和对学生行动的描述。由此可推测作者很有可能是记者,选[B]。评论家着重评论,本文以事实记录为主,评论很少,所以排除[A];[D]“小说家”容易排除,本文没有一点儿小说的痕迹;观察家一般会列出很多个人评论,并联系纵向、横向的事件或知识来解读描述的主要对象,但本文没有这些特征,也可排除[C]。
