问题     More than 6000 children were expelled from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
   The department gave a report to the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996~1997,against 7 percent for rifles or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.   “The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Rile said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe. "
   In March 1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.
   Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.
The report from the US Department of Education shows that ______.

选项 A、the number of the expulsions is not large
B、the number of the expulsions is wrong
C、there are soldiers hiding among the students
D、guns are out of control in US schools

答案D

解析 推理判断题。文章第一段说明的是因携枪上学被开除的总人数,第二段则分别说明了这6000多名被开除的学生中携带手枪、步枪或其他武器的比例。由常识可以推知,学生携带的武器种类之多、携带武器上学的人数之多都表明美国校园中枪支泛滥的程度很严重,[D]中的out of control指“失控”,与此意相符。其余三项根据常识和原文都可排除。
