15.(BBC World Service) Two separate surveys suggest that Britain s teenagers are amongst the heaviest drug-users and drinkers in Europe.The British government has introduced a number of measures to deal with the use and supply of drugs,particularly among young people.
The European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs interviewed 15and 16-year olds in 35countries.26% of boys and 29% of girls in the UK had been addicted to uncontrolled drinking at least three times in the previous month.In the same survey,42% of boys and 35% of girls admitted they had tried illegal drugs at least once.
According to another survey,by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction,two in five 15-year-olds in the UK have tried cannabis(大麻).This number is higher than anywhere else in Europe.The UK has also the common highest number of young cocaine (可卡因) users,together with Spain.
The British government has recently made new plans to fight the problem of drug abuse in the United Kingdom,also among teenagers.According to the new proposals,young offenders will have to attend drug treatment as part of community service.British police will be able to give people blood tests for drugs when they arrest them,not just when they charge them with an offence.Drug sellers working near a school or using children to help sell drugs will face tougher penalties (處罰).
But schools also try to fight the problem of drug use themselves.At the beginning of 2005a British state school has introduced for the first time random drug testing.Students from a school in Kent will have mouth swabs (棉簽) taken to discover drug use.Each week 20names will be selected by computer and the swabs sent off to a drug testing laboratory.Results will be available three days later.The school's head teacher says that no child will be tested against his or her wishes.Children who test positive will not be forced to leave the school,but those who sell drugs will.

分析 這是一篇新聞稿,主要報道了歐洲的青少年不少的學生比例接觸毒品或吸食毒品的現(xiàn)象.
解答 45.答案 B 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第三段…two in five 15-year-olds in the UK have tried cannabis(大麻).This number is higher thananywhere else in Europe…在英國五分之二的十五歲的青少年已經(jīng)嘗試過大麻,這個比例比歐洲其他任何地方都高.故答案為B
46.答案 B 推理判斷題 根據(jù)Drug sellers working near a school or using children to help selldrugs will face tougher penalties (處罰).可知,在學校附近銷售或利用兒童來幫助銷售毒品的販毒者會面對更加嚴厲的處罰.可以推斷販毒者利用學生銷售毒品.故答案為B
47.答案 B 詞義猜測題 根據(jù)Each week 20names will be selected by computer and the swabs sentoff to a drug testing laboratory.可知,接受毒品檢測的學生名單是電腦隨機選擇,由此可知random drug testing的意思是Selecting students for drug testing irregularly.其中 random 任意的;irregularly 不規(guī)則的,故答案為B
48.答案C 主旨大意題 從全文來看,本文主要報道了歐洲的青少年不少的學生比例接觸毒品或吸食毒品的現(xiàn)象.所以標題可以概括為Teenagers and Drugs,故答案為C
