第1题：
Drunken driving, sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed hy
drunken drivers, adding up an incredible 350,000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American alcohol image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 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.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years' national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the"noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
?Which of the following sentences best concludes the main idea of this passage?A.Drunken driving has caused numerous fatalities in the United States.
B.It's recommendable to prohibit alcohol drinking around the United States.
C.The American society is trying hard to prevent drunken driving.
D.Drunken driving has become a national epidemic in the United State.答案：D解析：本文主要讲的是酒后驾车在美国很泛滥，成为美国社会一个难以解决的社会问题。D项最能概括本文大意。 -

第11题：
问答题Practice 1 After nearly a year of emotional arguments in Congress but no new federal laws the national debate over the future of human cloning has shifted to the states. Six states have already banned cloning in one form or another，and this year alone 38 anticloning measures were introduced in 22 states. The resulting patchwork of laws，people on all sides of the issue say，complicates a nationwide picture already clouded by scientific and ethnical questions over whether and how to restrict cloning or ban it altogether. Since l997，when scientists announced the birth of Dolly the sheep，the first cloned mammal，the specter of cloned babies, infants that ate，in essence，genetic carbon copies of adults has loomed large in the public psyche and in the minds of lawmakers. Today, there is widespread agreement that cloning fur reproduction is unsafe and should be banned. Now，the debate has shifted away from the ethics of baby-making and toward the morality of cloning embryos for their cells and tissues，which might be used to treat diseases. The controversy pits religious c6nservatives and abortion opponents, who regard embryos as nascent human life，against patients' groups，scientists and the biotechnology industry.正确答案： 【参考译文】
国会经过将近一年的激烈争论但未通过新的联邦法律后,关于克隆人的未来的全国性辩论已转移到各个州。六个州早已禁止各种形式的克隆,仅今年一年,就有22个州提出了38项反克隆措施。
在克隆问题上持各种立场的人都说,由此拼凑起来的法律会使全国性立法复杂化,而关于是否要限制及如何限制克隆或者彻底禁止克隆的科学问题和伦理问题,已经使全国性立法变得扑朔迷离。
自1997年科学家宣布第一只克隆的哺乳动物多利羊出生以来,人们对克隆的婴儿本质上是成年人基因的复制模样感到恐惧,而这种恐惧一直萦绕在公众的心理上和立法者的头脑里。
今天,广泛一致的意见是,用于繁殖的克隆技术是不安全的,应当禁止。现在,辩论已经从制造婴儿的伦理问题,转向为提取可用于治疗疾病的细胞和组织而克隆胚胎是否合乎道德。这一争论使认为胚胎是新生的生命的宗教保守派和堕胎反对派与患者群体、科学家和生物技术行业成为互相对立的两大阵营。解析： 暂无解析 -
