18、 versions appear to be, is a powerful fire hose. But the size of a fire is still a bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs. At the current level of infection in the U.S. (about 200,000 confirmed new infections per day), a vaccine that is 95 percent effectivedistributed at the expected pace
19、would still leave a terrible toll (伤亡人数) in the six months after it was introduced. Almost 10 million or so Americans would catch the virus, and more than 160,000 would die.

26、题 第 5 页（共 14 页） C Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”.

Child
27、ren too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are p
28、ersuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting a
29、nd because of the loss of wild-land habitat. Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunne
30、rs alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people. Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as
31、 we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of mortality can make nobody happy. If, as th

36、ok place on U.S. soil, I should mention that this attack didnt happen in reality, rather in my daughters carefully constructed Minecraft world. During an online journey with a few friends, a stranger came to her school and bombed the school she had carefully built. In a minute, her school was ruined
37、. Sure, no actual property was damaged. But the emotional pain she felt was very much real. She thought this was a form of terrorism. I shared this act of absurd online violence on my Facebook page, and fellow parents with Minecraft-loving children were just as shocked as I was. I had thought this w
38、as a unique experience, and my daughter was just unlucky that this happened to her. But, as it turned out, she was far from alone. The acts were performed by computer bullies (暴徒) known as “griefers”. The platform that my daughter was playing was the Minecraft: Pocket Edition (PE) version, which is
39、popular with younger players. While she once only played in creative mode (模式), she began to play in the multi-player mode so that she and a few friends from school could build and create together. That multi-player choice made it possible for a stranger, one of these “griefers”, to do damage. It wa
40、s a painful lesson for my daughter that dangers happened suddenly. She understood we have to protect ourselves from bad people in the real world. Still, there was some goodness that came out of the ruins. Many fellow players of hers took the time to help her rebuild her school, which has been set up
41、 again. She is moved. Also, this experience opened her eyes. 32What was the result of the daughters school being blown up? AAll the buildings but the dorms were ruined.
