Passage Three
More than 6,000 children were expelled (开除) from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
The department gave a report to the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58% of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996—1997, against 7% for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 35% for other types of firearms.
"The report is a clear sign that our nation's public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.
In March 1997, an 11-year old boy and a 13-year old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Kentucky.
Most of the expulsions, 56%, were from high school, 34% were from junior high schools and 9% were from elementary schools, the report said.

A. students enjoy shooting
B. safety is a problem
C. students are eager to be solider.

第6题：
If the ultimate goal of undergraduate education in America were simply to convey a set body of knowledge, the term of studies could undoubtedly be reduced.
译文：假如美国本科教育的最终目的只是传授一定量的知识，那么学习的期限无疑就可以缩短。
本题考核的知识点是：条件状语从句、词义的选择。
该句是含if条件句的主从复合句，而且是虚拟语气。
词汇方面：convey意思是“运送；传达，表达”，文中和knowledge搭配应译为“传授”。a body of原意是“大量，大批，大堆”，加入set后，可译为“一定量的”。term意思是“学期，期限；条款，条件，术语”等，根据上下文将它确定为“期限”。
第7题：
There()two hundred dollars to pay.
A. are
B. is
C. were
答：B
译文：要付200美元。
解析：本题考查Therebe句型的主谓一致。若主语是复数名词，表示一笔金额、一个总数或单个概念时，则be仍用单数形式is或was，所以答案是B。
