问题     As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against rely legislation to stop Americans from owning one.
   "The Constitution," said the association’s spokesman, "gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn’t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves."
   "Don’ t you think it’s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?"
   "The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the ’safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse separately in a drawer."  
   "Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody."
   The spokesman said, "Hydrogen bombs don’ t kill people--people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they’re going to think twice about breaking in."
   "But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that ff you have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder."
   "Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns."
From the tone of the passage we know that the author is ______
选项 A、doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safety
B、unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombs
C、not serious about the private ownership of H-bombs
D、concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons
答案A
解析 D 在文中未提及，可以排除。如果作者对他所讨论的问题不严肃认真，那么他就没必要写这篇文章了，由此也可把C  排除。综观全文，尤其根据文章中的they和直接引语中的you，your等代词，可见作者将自己归入了反对者的行列，据此可以推理出A 为正确答案。
