Question

1．61．E 
Nowadays．millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs．Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse （NIDA，1999）shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically．
62．C
NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world．They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease．They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives．Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active，contributing citizens．NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drugs use them in a responsible manner．
63．A
Nevertheless，overuse of drugs such as opioids，central nervous system （CNS） depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern．Although this abuse affects many people worldwide，particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults，teenagers and women．
64．F
Though it may be a surprise to many，the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly．Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University，North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population，those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs．People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use．In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs，70% were women who had overused medicines．
65．D
Unfortunately，this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 65．In general，among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative，women are twice as likely to become addicted．In addition，statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers，tranquillizers，stimulants and sedatives．

A．Drug overuse and its consequence
B．The problem of drug overuse in America
C．Benefits of medicine and its wise use
D Female drug overuse with reference to that of males

Answer 1

分析 通過(guò)美國(guó)國(guó)家藥物濫用研究院（NIDA，1999）的一項(xiàng)研究表明，現(xiàn)在很多人對(duì)藥物的過(guò)量使用以及不正確使用，短文還對(duì)老年人對(duì)藥物的使用情況進(jìn)行說(shuō)明，并對(duì)男性和女性對(duì)藥物的使用進(jìn)行對(duì)比．

解答 61-65 ECAFD
61．E 這一段主要講了很多人錯(cuò)誤地使用甚至過(guò)量使用某些藥物，美國(guó)國(guó)家藥物濫用研究院（NIDA，1999）的研究表明，全國(guó)12歲以上的人中大約有2%的人一直在使用非處方的藥物．因此這一段的小標(biāo)題是"年輕一代對(duì)于藥物的錯(cuò)誤使用，此題注意與B選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行區(qū)分，B選項(xiàng)講的是"美國(guó)過(guò)量使用藥物的問(wèn)題"，短文沒(méi)有指明僅限于美國(guó)，因此錯(cuò)誤．
62．C 這一段由第一句NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world．可知藥物是發(fā)揮著很重要的作用，對(duì)于緩解以及止痛是非常有效的，因此很多人在醫(yī)生的建議下正確使用藥物是非常有用的，故答案為C"藥物的好處以及其廣泛使用"．
63．A 這一段主要講了對(duì)于某些藥物的過(guò)量使用確實(shí)會(huì)對(duì)人們?cè)斐捎泻Φ囊蕾囆裕瑫?huì)成為一種嚴(yán)重的公眾健康隱患，因此這一段的小標(biāo)題為"過(guò)量使用藥物及其后果"．
64．F 由第一句話Though it may be a surprise to many，the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly．可知答案為F"老年人對(duì)藥物的不合理使用"，這一段通過(guò)列出數(shù)據(jù)表明了很多老年人對(duì)藥物的不正確使用．
65．D 由短文中In general，among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative，women are twice as likely to become addicted．可知這一段主要是女性藥物的過(guò)量使用和男性之間的一個(gè)對(duì)比，故答案為D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首先需要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次要學(xué)會(huì)帶著問(wèn)題到文中相應(yīng)的地方，通過(guò)細(xì)節(jié)閱讀來(lái)尋找或概括答案；最后理清作者的寫作思路也非常重要．
