问题                             Campus Shooting
    The day of terror at the Virginia Polytechnic State University in Blacksburg began at about 7:15 a. m. , with the shooting of a woman and a male resident adviser on the fourth floor of a dorm building on campus. Kristen Bensley, a freshman who lived below the floor where the shooting occurred, told TIME, "there were rumors going on about the assailant was fighting with his girlfriend or something of that nature." Bensley notes that only residents can get into the building, using a specific "passport", that is, a card that one has to swipe in order to open doors before 10 : 00 a. m. If he was an outsider, someone would have had to let him in. Or more likely, he was a resident of the dorm himself. If so, how did he keep so much ammunition unnoticed?
    Unlike high schools, most universities can’t beef up security with a metal detector or two. So what can be done to protect students? Other questions remain unanswered. Why was there a two-hour gap between the incident at the dorm and a far more fatal one across campus? At one point, that led to theorizing that more than one gunman was involved. The gunman who killed at least 30 people at Norris Hall shortly after 9:00 a.m. was described by some sources as an Asian man.
    It has been a surreal time for the students. Brandon Stiltner, a senior aerospace engineering student, and Jonathan Hess, a senior mechanical engineer, were watching TV all day but by noon they’d had enough. " We decided we needed to do something," Stiltner said. "We were worthless sitting around." So they took their six-foot Virginia Tech sign off the wall and logged into Facebook. Within the next few hours 100 people replied to their E-mail request for a vigil.
    By 8 p. m. , hundreds of students began filing down the steps of the War Memorial Chapel toward the drill field. Clusters of two and three students stood together in silence. Slowly they began to line up to sign the board. " I’m still really in disbelief," says Stiltner. The shock of the day’s shootings sank in, Hess said, as he carried the sign across campus for the vigil. "It hit me," Hess said, "to know that it was in these buildings." The media crews that swarmed campus were also surreal to Hess and Stiltner. "We could look out our window and see exactly what’s on TV," Stiltner says. He watched his sign crowded with initials and prayers, awaiting the names of the victims. He shuddered. "I hope I don’t have any nasty surprises."
Stiltner’s word "I hope I don’t have any nasty surprises" implies that______.
选项 A、he doesn’t hope someone he knows is victim
B、he doesn’t want to see the victim’s name
C、he doesn’t need any surprise more
D、he was scared by the assailment accident
答案A
解析 推理判断题。文章末尾写到Stiltner一边发抖，一边等待着受害者姓名出来。紧接着说，他希望没有任何让他难堪的意外，也就是指不希望从这份名单上看到令他难过的名字，故选[A]。Stiltner不希望这些已经遇害的人中出现他认识的人。Awaiting正说明了他想知道这些名字的念头，故[B]不对；[C]说法过于绝对，且偏离了原文；[D]的说法是事实，但并非该句的含义。
