In early December, the US brke a terrible new recrd:38mass shtings in a single year, in which 203 peple have died. This beat the previus recrd f 36 mass shtings, accrding t The Guardian. But why is there s much gun vilence in the US? Althugh the issue is cmplicated, there are three big reasns: t many guns, weak gun laws and lphles (漏洞), and cultural factrs.
The US has a lt f guns –120.5guns fr every 100 Americans, accrding t a 2017 survey. In ther wrds, there are mre guns than peple in the US. This makes it easier fr peple t get guns.
Althugh US federal law says certain peple can’t buy guns, it’s still fairly easy fr Americans t buy them anyway, said Vx. A big part f this is lphles in gun sales. In the US, when yu buy a gun frm a licensed shp r at a gun shw, they have t check yur backgrund. But if yu buy frm a private seller, they dn’t have t d that. Even in thse cases where a backgrund check is made, it can nly take up t three days at mst. If the seller des nt receive a clear answer within three days, the seller can still sell the gun, reprted CGTN.
The US als has a unique gun culture, influenced by the Secnd Amendment(第二修正案) f the US Cnstitutin. Sme peple believe it gives them special rights, making them refuse t give up their guns fr the greater gd.
Despite these challenges, arund 60 percent f Americans think gun vilence is a big prblem and want stricter gun laws, a 2022 Pew Research Center study said. But it’s unclear if US lawmakers, wh listen t pwerful gun grups like the Natinal Rifle Assciatin r Gun Owners f America, will make changes.
4. What are the main reasns fr increasing gun vilence in the US?
a. the high wnership f guns b. the weak laws n buying guns
c. the light punishment n gun vilence d. the right t have guns in the minds f Americans
A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd
5. Thse wh are nt allwed t have guns _____.
A wn’t have any chance t buy gunsB. can purchase guns with a special license
C. can purchase guns frm private sellersD. can buy guns by shwing their backgrund
6. In the writer’s pinin, t keep gun vilence under cntrl in the US is _____.
A. meaninglessB. cstlyC. tughD. pssible
7. What’s the structure f the stry?

TVB’s 56th-anniversary shw, The Queen f News, has becme ppular acrss the cuntry. It stars actrs Charmaine Sheh and Kenneth Ma . Peple enjy talking abut its plt and cpying its pinted lines.
The shw gt 8.2 pints ut f 10 n the review website Duban. Telling the stries f news reprters cmpeting fr the tp spt during glden time, sme said, the shw was a bit ver the tp. But the fantastic plt where the main character vercmes challenges n the way t success is lved by many.
The Queen f News is a s-called “feel-gd drama”, a type f drama that has becme mre and mre ppular in recent years. But why d peple enjy such dramas s much? One f the reasns is that the plts in these shws are easy t fllw. They ften tell stries where the main character ges frm facing difficulties t seeking revenge (复仇) and, in the end, earning respect and success.
This kind f shw allws peple t frget abut their wrries and challenges in life and feel happy while watching them. Han Ning, a psychlgical cunselr wh wrks in Nanjing, tld the Yangtze Evening Pst that feel-gd dramas can help with mental health . These shws can meet the emtinal needs f the audience. They als help peple lwer their anxiety and stress levels.
Hwever, sme peple wrry that feel-gd dramas may lead peple t lk at life in an unrealistic way. If peple lk t deeply int these big persnality changes f characters and the excitement f the stry, it may affect hw they think they shuld live their lives, nted Guangming Daily. The newspaper added that these dramas shuld cut ut the ver-the-tp parts that are larger-than-life.
8. Which wrd is clsest in meaning t “ver the tp” in Paragraph 2?
A. sharp.B. dramatic.C. cmpetitive.D. unrealistic.
9. What d we knw abut “feel-gd dramas”?
A. Their plts are clse t real life.B. Their plts are easy t fllw.
C. They star the mst ppular idls.D. They usually get high pints n Duban.
10 Why are “feel-gd dramas” ppular accrding t Han Ning?
A. Because they help the audience release stress.
B. Because they cme frm and are used in life.
C. Because they teach useful life lessns.
D. Because they let the audience feel respected.
11. What idea might Guangming Daily agree with?
A. Peple shuldn’t watch “feel-gd dramas”.

The change caused by increased scientific funding during the 20th century is remarkable. Thmas Edisn electrified the wrld frm his industrial lab at Menl Park, and the Carnegie Fundatin was the majr supprter f Edwin Hubble. Advances in science during the Secnd Wrld War—frm the develpment f radar t the atm bmb—encuraged gvernments and cmpanies t increase their funding.
Hwever, a grwing amunt f wrk shws that the reward has fallen even as mre mney is spent n research. One explanatin fr this is that the way science is funded is ut f date. The rate at which funding applicatins are apprved has fallen. Tw-fifths f a tp scientist’s time is spent n things ther than research, such as lking fr mney. Risky ideas are ften put aside. It is time t make anther change.
The first step is t try new things. Mre mney culd fund prmising peple rather than specific prjects, encuraging researchers t take risks. Cuntries shuld als learn frm the best practices f thers. American funders give ver three times mre t science than the Eurpean funders d. Eurpeans might benefit frm learning frm thers’ practices.
Mre imprtant still is t find ways t measure what is wrking and what is nt, and then adapt accrdingly. Gvernments might cnsider appinting leading scientists r chief ecnmists t d the data analysis in varius scientific fields. One interesting idea is t keep a clse eye n the prjects that they d nt fund, and track hw they perfrm.
Nne f this will be easy. Scientific funders say they want t experiment, but they als face pressure t supprt research that can be easily explained, t keep pliticians happy. In sme cases mre mney may be the nly slutin. Still, the ecnmic returns t research are s large—at least ten times the riginal investment—that fixing the system is well wrth the effrt. Like science itself, the way f funding it must als prgress.
12. Why des the authr mentin Tmas Edisn in Paragraph 1?
A. T praise the inventr’s achievement.B. T explain the change with examples.
C. T cmpare scientific breakthrughs.D. T transfrm the funding fr science.
13. What can we learn frm Paragraph 2?
A. Mst scientists are devted t research.B. Funding fr research is less rewarding.
C. Funding applicatins get fast apprved.D. Scientists shuld lk fr mre mney.
14. What des the authr suggest funders d?
A. Supprt peple with risky ideas.B. Invest mney in specific prjects.
C. Analyse the data t earn mney.D. Let g f the unfunded prjects.
15. What is the authr’s attitude tward anther change in science funding?
A. Unclear.B. Negative.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.

In early December, the US brke a terrible new recrd:38mass shtings in a single year, in which 203 peple have died. This beat the previus recrd f 36 mass shtings, accrding t The Guardian. But why is there s much gun vilence in the US? Althugh the issue is cmplicated, there are three big reasns: t many guns, weak gun laws and lphles (漏洞), and cultural factrs.
The US has a lt f guns –120.5guns fr every 100 Americans, accrding t a 2017 survey. In ther wrds, there are mre guns than peple in the US. This makes it easier fr peple t get guns.
Althugh US federal law says certain peple can’t buy guns, it’s still fairly easy fr Americans t buy them anyway, said Vx. A big part f this is lphles in gun sales. In the US, when yu buy a gun frm a licensed shp r at a gun shw, they have t check yur backgrund. But if yu buy frm a private seller, they dn’t have t d that. Even in thse cases where a backgrund check is made, it can nly take up t three days at mst. If the seller des nt receive a clear answer within three days, the seller can still sell the gun, reprted CGTN.
The US als has a unique gun culture, influenced by the Secnd Amendment(第二修正案) f the US Cnstitutin. Sme peple believe it gives them special rights, making them refuse t give up their guns fr the greater gd.
Despite these challenges, arund 60 percent f Americans think gun vilence is a big prblem and want stricter gun laws, a 2022 Pew Research Center study said. But it’s unclear if US lawmakers, wh listen t pwerful gun grups like the Natinal Rifle Assciatin r Gun Owners f America, will make changes.
4. What are the main reasns fr increasing gun vilence in the US?

The Queen f News is a s-called “feel-gd drama”, a type f drama that has becme mre and mre ppular in recent years. But why d peple enjy such dramas s much? One f the reasns is that the plts in these shws are easy t fllw. They ften tell stries where the main character ges frm facing difficulties t seeking revenge (复仇) and, in the end, earning respect and success.
This kind f shw allws peple t frget abut their wrries and challenges in life and feel happy while watching them. Han Ning, a psychlgical cunselr wh wrks in Nanjing, tld the Yangtze Evening Pst that feel-gd dramas can help with mental health . These shws can meet the emtinal needs f the audience. They als help peple lwer their anxiety and stress levels.
Hwever, sme peple wrry that feel-gd dramas may lead peple t lk at life in an unrealistic way.

The change caused by increased scientific funding during the 20th century is remarkable. Thmas Edisn electrified the wrld frm his industrial lab at Menl Park, and the Carnegie Fundatin was the majr supprter f Edwin Hubble. Advances in science during the Secnd Wrld War—frm the develpment f radar t the atm bmb—encuraged gvernments and cmpanies t increase their funding.
Hwever, a grwing amunt f wrk shws that the reward has fallen even as mre mney is spent n research. One explanatin fr this is that the way science is funded is ut f date. The rate at which funding applicatins are apprved has fallen. Tw-fifths f a tp scientist’s time is spent n things ther than research, such as lking fr mney. Risky ideas are ften put aside. It is time t make anther change.
The first step is t try new things. Mre mney culd fund prmising peple rather than specific prjects, encuraging researchers t take risks. Cuntries shuld als learn frm the best practices f thers. American funders give ver three times mre t science than the Eurpean funders d. Eurpeans might benefit frm learning frm thers’ practices.
Mre imprtant still is t find ways t measure what is wrking and what is nt, and then adapt accrdingly. Gvernments might cnsider appinting leading scientists r chief ecnmists t d the data analysis in varius scientific fields. One interesting idea is t keep a clse eye n the prjects that they d nt fund, and track hw they perfrm.
Nne f this will be easy. Scientific funders say they want t experiment, but they als face pressure t supprt research that can be easily explained, t keep pliticians happy. In sme cases mre mney may be the nly slutin. Still, the ecnmic returns t research are s large—at least ten times the riginal investment—that fixing the system is well wrth the effrt. Like science itself, the way f funding it must als prgress.
12. Why des the authr mentin Tmas Edisn in Paragraph 1?
A. T praise the inventr’s achievement.B. T explain the change with examples.
C. T cmpare scientific breakthrughs.D. T transfrm the funding fr science.
13. What can we learn frm Paragraph 2?
A. Mst scientists are devted t research.B. Funding fr research is less rewarding.
C. Funding applicatins get fast apprved.D. Scientists shuld lk fr mre mney.
14. What des the authr suggest funders d?
A. Supprt peple with risky ideas.B. Invest mney in specific prjects.
C. Analyse the data t earn mney.D. Let g f the unfunded prjects.
15. What is the authr’s attitude tward anther change in science funding?
A. Unclear.B. Negative.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.
