下列哪种说法作者可能同意?
[A]科学与创新对一国的国力至关重要。
[B]尽管面临挫折但美国会渡过难关变得更强大。
[C]21世纪美国会让出超级霸主地位。
[D]美国在科学领域的衰落是不可避免的而且无法逆转的。
【答案】A作者观点题
【解析】本题考查作者观点。全文都在讨论作者对美国科研和创新能力的担忧，之所以产生这种担忧，是因为众所周知现在科技是第一生产力，尤其是在关键领域，比如说本文提到的能源领域，科学与创新更是至关重要。[A]正确。[B]偷梁换柱，将文中爱迪生的一段话挪用为作者的观点。爱迪生曾经说过不用恐惧，因为他相信美国不管遇到什么困难都一定都够渡过难关。在爱迪生的话后面才是作者的观点，但是作者认为如果不加大科研投入，那么美国科学霸主的地位被他国代替将不可避免。[C]只是作者的担忧，而非断言。[D]利用原文最后一段前两句话设置干扰，这两句话提到美国霸主地位受到侵蚀在某方面来讲是不可避免的，但是并没有说是“无法逆转”的，如果无法逆转的话，作者就不会在本文中振臂高呼，要求加大研发投入了。

2根据以下资料，回答题：
　　Humans have never lacked for ways to get wasted．The natural world is full of soothing but addictive leaves and fruits and fungi，and for centuries，science has added them to the pharmacopoeia to relieve the pain of patients．In the past two decades，that’s been especially true．As the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations developed new policies to treat pain more actively，approaching it not just as an unfortunate side effect of illness but as a fifth vital sign，along with temperature，heart rate，respiratory rate and blood pressure.a bounty of new opoids(鸦片类药物)has rolled off Big Pharma’s production line．
　　There was fentanyl，a synthetic opioid around since the l960s that went into wide use as a treatment for cancer pain in the l990s．That was followed by Oxycodone，a short-acting drug for more routine pain，and after that came Oxycontin，a 12-hour formulation of the same powerful pill．Finally came hydrocodone．The government considers hydrocodone aSchedule III drug--one with a“moderate or low”risk of dependency，as opposed to Schedule Il’s，which carry a“severe”risk．Physicians must submit a written prescription for Schedule II drugs；for Schedule IIl’s，they just phone the pharmacy．(Schedule I substances are drugs like heroin that are never prescribed．)For patients，that wealth of choices spelled danger．
　　The result has hardly been surprising．Since 1990，there has been a tenfold increase inprescriptions for opioids in the U．S．，according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDCP)．In l990 there were barely 6．000 deaths from accidental drug poisoning in the U．S．By 2007 that number had nearly quintupled to 27，658．
　　Health officials do not tease out which drug is responsible for every death。and it’s not always possible．“There may be lots of drugs on board，”says Cathy Barber，director of the Injury Control Research Center at the Harvard School of Public Health．“Is it the opioid that caused the death?Or is it the combination of opioid，benzodiazepine and a cocktail the person had?”Still，most experts agree that nothing but the exploding availability of opioids could be behind the exploding rate of death．
　　Despite such heavy death toll，the suivellance over these popular pills faces regulatory maze．In early 2009，the FDA announced that it was initiating a“risk．evaluation and mitigation strategy”．The regulations the FDA is empowered to issue include requiring manufacturers to provide better information to patients and doctors，requiring doctors to meet certain educational criteria before writing opioid prescriptions and limiting the number of docs and pharmacies allowed to prescribe or dispense the drugs．“And with all that．”warns Dr．John Jenkins，director of the FDA’s Office of New Drugs，“we do still have to make sure patients have access to drugs they need．”Any regulations the FDA does impose won’t be announced until 2011 at the earliest and could take a year or more to roll out．That leaves millions of people continuing to fiU prescriptions．tens of thousands per year dying and patients in genuine pain wondering when a needed medication will relieve their suffering--and when it could lead to something worse．
Opoids are drugs______．

A．made from natural plants
B．that will result in addiction
C．classified as dangerous
D．used for pain—easing
