Question

18．Drunken driving-sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder-has become a national epidemic （流行�。�．Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers，adding up to an incredible 250，000 over the past ten years．
A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours．Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts，but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies，especially concerning young children，that public opinion is no longer so tolerant．
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21，reversing a trend （逆轉(zhuǎn)潮流） in the 1960s to reduce it to 18．After New Jersey lowered it to 18，the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled，so the state recently upped it back to 21．Reformers，however，fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop"responsible attitudes"about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink．
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already，to a marked drop in accidents，some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks．A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was"obviously drunk"and later drove off the road，killing a nine-year-old boy．
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state，some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national ban of alcohol that began in 1919，which President Hoover called the"noble experiment"．They forgot that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking，but encouraged political corruption （腐�。� and organized crime．As with the booming drug trade generally，there is no easy solution．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了作者對酒后駕車的看法，如今每天平均每小時有三個人死于醉酒司機(jī)，酒后駕車已經(jīng)成為了一個國家的主要問題，作者認(rèn)為解決酒后駕車與解決毒品一樣沒有簡單的解決方法．

解答 31．D  理解推斷題，由第三段After New Jersey lowered it to 18，the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled，so the state recently upped it back to 21．可知新澤西十八到二十歲的司機(jī)造成的死亡人數(shù)增加了一倍，所以應(yīng)該提高法定飲酒年齡，故選D．
32．C  理解推斷題，由第二段Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts，可知醺酒是可以接受的，法官在大多數(shù)法庭上是寬容的，故選C．
33．A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由最后一段They forgot that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking，but encouraged political corruption （腐�。� and organized crime．As with the booming drug trade generally，there is no easy solution．可知作者認(rèn)為對于飲酒沒有簡單的解決方法，故選A．
34．C  理解推斷題，由第一段Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers，adding up to an incredible 250，000 over the past ten years．可知每天每小時被酒駕司機(jī)殺死三個人，所以一天應(yīng)該是72個人，故選C．
35．B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由第二段Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts，but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies，especially concerning young children，that public opinion is no longer so tolerant．可知酒駕成為一個國家的問題是因?yàn)槊绹�人喝的太多了，故選B．
