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 (院外活动集团) and the electoral (选举的) system.

Fighting for a Brighter Future for Women When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because t thought I’d be the best president. But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us. I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter’s future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows. To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect. Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century in our country. You can also be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And this is truly remarkable, my friends. To those who are disappointed that we couldn’t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble (犯错), keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on. As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave the Earth is orbiting (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.(An excerpt from Hillary Rodbam Clintou’s speech on June 7,2008) Hillary Clinton will no longer run for president.()
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
第一篇Life at Aichi University I’m Yamamoto Mika, a 22-year-old Japanese girl. I’d like to invite you to Aichi University so you can understand my life. Our university has a close relationship with China and my department is the only one of its kind in Japan. My courses include the Chinese language, modern Chinese politics and economics. I love Chinese culture and I have been to Tianjin as an exchange student.In Japan,our courses are divided into compulsory, optional and specialized courses. However, we have a flexible schedule. We can choose classes from a wide range of options.Many students finish the compulsory courses in three years so that they can have one year without any classes. They often use this period of time to study abroad,conduct research and travel. Many students even suspend their study for additional study-abroad opportunities.Japanese universities encourage students to choose their own ways of study, so it is quite easy for us to apply for study suspension.Japanese students participate in various kinds of extracurricular(课外的)activities. They attend clubs from elementary schools so many have already been accustomed to clubs when they enter university.Our university now has 42 art clubs and 45 sports clubs. The annual University Festival is the grandest carnival(狂欢节)of Japanese universities. In the festival,students promote their clubs and organize various activities. Our university’s festival attracted about150,000 people last year. I really like this festival.When we promote our clubs,we cook “tonnjiru”, a kind of pork soup, and sell it to other students at the fair, We also go to different places to interview celebrities(名人)who attend our festival as guests. It is a wonderful experience to talk to those stars face to face.Japanese students like to hold parties. We have two kinds of parties. One is the Mochiyori party. If you want to attend this party you have to cook a course and take it to the party. The organizer buys drinks and snacks. The other kind of party is the Nomikai,which mainly involves alcohol. We drink something called chu-hai,which is a combination of soda and wine. We also drink Japanese sake(日本米酒)and beer. There are parties for many occasions, 1ike welcoming new students, celebrating victories and birthday parties or just for promoting friendship.31. Which statement is NOT true of Yamamoto Mika?
