14、produced primarily by a sharp drop in the rate of motor vehicle deaths since 1950,whileover the same period,gun deaths rose.The steady decline in motor vehicle deaths can be attributed to(归 因 于)a combination of improvedtechnology and smarter regulation.The federal government commanded the presence o
15、f seat belts in the 1960s.The1970s brought anti-lock brakes.The 1980s brought an increased focus on drunk driving and seat belt use.Airbagscame along in the 1990s.More recent years have seen demands on electronic stability systems,increased penalties(惩 罚)for careless driving and other improved techn
16、ology used to meet safety requirements.However,the history of American gun control regulation has been more enatic(不 稳 定 的).Restrictions pastin earlier times have been undone recently.Technological advances,like smart-gun technology that prevents peopleother than the owner from firing a gun,have bee
17、n blocked by opposition from the National Rifle Association ofAmerica and many gun owners.The result?The gun death rate is slightly higher than before.Particularly annoying is that there may be waysto improve gun safety and reduce firearm deaths.But innovations(仓 4新)in gun safety are hard to come by
18、,in largepart because of Congresss longstanding ban on many types of federal government research.The ban badly affectsacademic researchers.One well-known researcher,Garen Wintemute of the University of California at Davis,hadto donate$1 million of his own money to keep his research going.He clearly

20、.And cars are much more complicated machines than guns.Still,weve been able to make driving much safer.We could potentially do the same with guns.1.What does the new death data reveal?A.Gun deaths once experienced a sharp drop in 1950.B.About 10 out of 10,000 people died of gun accidents.C.Motor veh
21、icle deaths have slightly declined since 1950.D.Guns are now killing as many people as cars in the U.S.2.How does the author develop the second paragraph?A.By stating facts.B.By using figures.C.By giving instructions.D.By making comparisons.3.What might Garen Wintemute be willing to do?A.Give up his
22、 gun research.B.Donate$1 million to his university.C.Support Congresss ban on gun research.D.Discourage students from following his research.4.What conclusion does the author draw in the last paragraph?A.Gun safety could be guaranteed.B.Guns are as complicated as cars.C.Car driving is much easier th

25、lproblems,and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like GreatBritain and Australia.However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power theyconvey,despite gun control groups*
