问题    "Across the rest of America, packing for college usually means gathering up books, clothes and maybe an iPod. Here in gun-loving Texas, it could soon mean packing heat. That’s because a bill heading for likely approval in the state Legislature would allow gun owners who are licensed to carry concealed weapons to bring their firearms onto the state’s college and university campuses—zones where the carrying of any weapons is now strictly prohibited. What a horrible idea! A college campus is supposed to be a special environment, not an armed camp. For me, introducing firearms into college environments already saturated with youthful impulsiveness, social anxieties and alcohol is an invitation for trouble. "
   Comment 1:
   Risky. Main issue I had at college was not enough lights and campus police around. If that were solved, I’d feel safer.
   Comment 2:
   I believe that doing so is asking for more gun violence on campuses. Just because you have the right to carry doesn’t mean you should.
   Comment 3:
   Risky. It is a heavy responsibility that leaves no room for error.
   Comment 4:
   Concealed weapons can enable other crimes such as sexual assault. Just equip each classroom with an alarm.
   Comment 5:
   Please point out a single case of a concealed permit holder committing a crime on a college campus where it was legal to carry. I’ll help you, you won’t find one because it hasn’t happened. I studied this while I was in college and spoke to the public safety directors of every college which allowed concealed carry at the time. None of them were aware of a single incident by a concealed permit holder.
   Comment 6:
   Do we believe that allowing students to carry loaded firearms on campus will REDUCE gun violence on campus? Only a fool would think so. And while you may be able to point to a rare event where guns might have prevented a violent incident, the risk you run in allowing students to walk around armed far outweighs the possible benefits. It’s, just crazy to arm college students.
   Comment 7:
   As for your " rare event where guns may have prevented a violent incident," what you really mean is "rarely publicized and not tracked by law enforcement like a crime is. " It is estimated that there are 100 million legally, privately owned handguns in the U. S. and that handguns may be used as often as 2 million times per year in legal defense incidents. Handguns are used illegally to kill people about 30,000 times per year. That means that each year, 99, 970, 000 handguns didn’t kill anyone.
Which of the following choices holds the supportive attitude towards gun ownership?
选项 A、Comment 1 and Comment 3.
B、Comment 2 and Comment 4.
C、Comment 4 and Comment 6.
D、Comment 5 and Comment 7.
答案D
解析     态度推断题。首先读懂题目，本题问的是对枪支拥有持正面态度的评论。然后可以套用公式：正确答案=原文话题+表达话题的用词，对涉及的评论逐一概括作者的主观态度，并结合排除法做题。两个答案选项中都有的Comment 4，可首先判断Comment 4的观点，根据评论中的表述Concealed weapons can enable other crimes such as sexual assault(隐藏武器可以引发其他的一些犯罪，例如：性侵犯)可以判断本评论对拥有枪支持否定态度，因此可以据此将B和C两个选项排除。然后判断A选项，根据Comment 1 and Comment 3中共同的用词Risky(危险的)可以看出这两个评论也是负面态度，因此本题符合要求的正确答案应该是D选项。Comment 5和Comment 7都是从拥有枪支不一定会引发犯罪这个角度，为拥有枪支进行了辩护。
