单选题At the fall 2001 Social Science History Association convention in Chicago, the Crime and Justice network sponsored a forum on the history of gun ownership, gun use, and gun violence in the United States. Our purpose was to consider how social science history might contribute to the public debate over gun control and gun rights. To date, we have had little impact on that debate. It has been dominated by mainstream social scientists and historians, especially scholars such as Gary Kleck, John Lott, and Michael Bellesiles, whose work, despite profound flaws, is politically congenial to either opponents or proponents of gun control. Kleck and Mark Gertz, for instance, argue on the basis of their widely cited survey that gun owners prevent numerous crimes each year in the Untied States by using firearms to defend themselves and their property. If their survey respondents are to be believed, American gun owners shot 100,000 criminals in 1994 in self-defense—a preposterous number. Lott claims on the basis of his statistical analysis of recent crime rates that laws allowing private individuals to carry concealed firearms to deter murders, rapes, and robberies, because criminals are afraid to attack potentially armed victims. However, he biases his results by confining his analysis to the year between 1977 and 1992, when violent crime rates had peaked and varied little from year to year. He reports only regression models that support his thesis and neglects to mention that each of those models find a positive relationship between violent crime and real income, and inverse relationship between violent crime and unemployment. Contrary to Kleck and Lott, Bellesiles insists that guns and America"s " gun culture" are responsible for America"s high rate of murder. In Belleville"s opinion, relatively few Americans owned guns before the 1850s or know how to use, maintain, or repair them. As a result, he says, guns contributed little to the homicide rate, especially among Whites, which was low everywhere, even in the South and on the frontier, where historians once assumed gun and murder went hand in hand. According to Bellesiles, these patterns changed dramatically after the Mexican War and especially after the Civil War, when gun ownership became widespread and cultural changes encouraged the use of handguns to command respect and resolve personal and political disputes. The result was an unprecedented wave of gun-related homicides that never truly abated. To this day, the United States has the highest homicide rate of any industrial democracy. Bellesile"s low estimates of gun ownership in early America conflict, however, with those of every historian who has previously studied the subject and has thus far proven irreproducible. Every homicide statistic he presents is either misleading or wrong. Given the influence of Kleck, Lott, Bellesiles and other partisan scholars on the debate over gun control and gun rights, we felt a need to pull together what social science historians have learned to date about the history of gun ownership and gun violence in America, and to consider what research methods and projects might increase our knowledge in the near future.

单选题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage. For each numbered blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. choice the best one and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Humans are unique in the extent to which they can reflect on themselves and others. Humans are able to {{U}}(21) {{/U}}, to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless, {{U}}(22) {{/U}} world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it {{U}}(23) {{/U}} to human behavior we infer meaning and {{U}}(24) {{/U}} to make the behavior understandable. {{U}} (25) {{/U}} all this means is that people develop "quasi theories" of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a(an) {{U}}(26) {{/U}}, scientific manner. When doing so, people believe they know {{U}}(27) {{/U}} humans do the things they do. Let's consider an example. In the United States people have been {{U}}(28) {{/U}} with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims. But it {{U}}(29) {{/U}} bothers us that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen? We develop quasi theories. We {{U}}(30) {{/U}} concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we {{U}}(31) {{/U}} it: our criminal justice system is {{U}}(32) {{/U}}; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken {{U}}(33) {{/U}} the influence of liberal ideas; too many people are {{U}}(34) {{/U}} drugs. These explanations suggest possible solutions. {{U}}(35) {{/U}} the courts; put more people in jail as examples to other lawbreaker. There is now hope that the problem of crime can be solved if only we {{U}}(36) {{/U}} these solutions. Again, the world is no longer meaningless nor {{U}}(37) {{/U}} so threatening. These quasi theories {{U}}(38) {{/U}} serve a very important function for us. But how accurate are they? How {{U}}(39) {{/U}} will the suggested solutions be? These questions must be answered with {{U}}(40) {{/U}} to how people normally go about developing or attaining their quasi theories of human behavior.

单选题 It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional Small wonder. Americans' life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minutes surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours. Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians-frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified. In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be $1540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age—say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm "have a duty todie and get out of the way" , so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential. I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s. These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have. Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.
