Passage Four 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 historians 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 United States by using firearms to defend themselves and their property. A. resolving a public dispute over gun control B. describing the effects of earlier studies on gun control C. analyzing the flaws in the previous theories about gun control D. summarizing the recent development in the studies’ of gun control 查看答案 更多"Passage Four At the fall 2001 Socia"的相关试题: [单项选择] Passage Four 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.

Rarely is this more true than in the case of climate change, where it is now time for emergency counseling. One point repeatedly made at last week’s climate change congress in Copenhagen was that formulating an action plan to curb climate change is not a job of scientists. Politicians may be left scratching their heads over what to do, but at this stage climate scientists cannot provide more guidance than they did in the 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for two reasons. First, models will never provide a straightforward prediction of how the climate will change. As one Copenhagen delegate put it: "Tell me what the stock market will do in 100 years and I will tell you what the climate will do." Second as most climate scientists will agree, their role is not to formulate policy. They can provide more or less apocalyptic (大灾预测的) scenarios of what will happen if emissions hit cert A. tend to be more conservative than politicians B. are in no position to offer a definite answer C. never trust politicians as in other cases D. feel incapable more than ever before 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Three Science is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist. This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who has been presented with science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. A. cultural groups that are formed by scientists B. people whose knowledge of science is very limited C. the scientific community D. people who make good contribution to science 查看答案 [单项选择]Man's social being determines his thinking. A.人的社会存在决定了人的思想。 B.人是在社会中决定思想的。 C.人的思想决定人的社会存在。 D.人在社会存在中决定要思考。 查看答案 [单项选择] Passage Two Science is a dominant theme in our culture.

The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any cour A. English is a sexist language B. only in this scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidly C. women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our language D. male nouns or pronouns should not used to refer to scientists 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two Modern technology and science have produced a wealth of new materials and new ways of using old materials. For the artist this means wider opportunities. There is no doubt that the limitations of materials and nature of tools both restrict and shape a man’s work. Observe how the development of plastics and light metals along with new methods of welding has changed the direction of sculpture. Transparent plastic materials allow one to look through an object, to see its various sides superimposed on each other (as in Cubism or in an X-ray). Today, welding is as prevalent as casting was in the past. This new method encourages open designs, where surrounding and intervening space becomes as important as form itself. More ambiguous than other scientific inventions familiar to modern artists, but no less influential, are the psychoanal A. artistic creations seem to be the reproductions of modern technology B. artistic creations have made great strides scientifically C. artistic creations appear to be incapable of ignoring material advances D. artistic creations are the reflection of the material world 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    [单选题]下列关于消防员隔热防护服的维护保养要求,错误的是( )。 ●    [单选题] 《建筑法》(草案)经全国人大八届常委会第28次会议审议,于( )正式颁布。 ●    关于甲状腺的功能检查，叙述错误的有（） ●    [单选题]特种设备安全管理机构的主要（ ）是指特种设备使用单位的实际最高管理者。 ●    [单选题]下列各种结构中，哪一种不是沉积岩的结构？ ●    [判断题]TCC和集中监测的通信接口为RJ45。 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2024  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 截图扫码使用小程序[完全免费查看答案] 前往小程序 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
