A.Thelargenumberofpeoplekilled.

B.Thedeathofthenine-year-oldgirl.

C.Thefactthatsuchshootingtragedieskeephappening.

D.Thcfactthatthetragedyhappenedinhishometown,x'

解析:解析:第6段第1句中的Incvcrcxpccicd封应题干中的leastexpect,表明最止作者料想不到的是悲剧发生

在自已的家乡,因此，本区I应诜D。

A.hishometownhasbecomedangerous

B.people'ssenseofsecurityhasdeclinedsubtly7

C.somechangesareapparentenoughtoobserve

D.thcchangesarctoosubtlelospecify

解析：解析：根据原文.somethinghas是要jsomethinghaschanged的省略，本H惜:的是变化了的是什么。该段第2

句提到变化了的包括人俨!的心理状态，第3句深入解释人D变得缺乏安全感，因此，本题应选B。
