考研英语

单选题 The soaring number of death from drug poisoning is due to______．

A．combined use of different drugs
B．wrong prescription of doctors
C．uncertain resource
D．easy access to opoids

死于药物中毒的人数激增是由于_______。
[A]混用了几种不同的药物
[B]医生开错了处方
[C]不确定的原因
[D]人们可以轻而易举地得到鸦片类药物
【答案】D因果细节题
【解析】本题考查对三、四段内容的理解。第三段提到了由于药物泛滥，因偶然药物中毒死亡的人数也在激增。第四段首先是医疗官员的意见，他们认为没有办法给每一次死亡定性，因为导致药物中毒的因素很多，可能并不是某一种药物的作用，而是好几种药物混合起了作用。关键在第四段最后一句话，虽然个案的定性有困难，但是专家还是一致认定如此明显的死亡数量增加一定是与鸦片类药物的泛滥有关系的。[A]和[C]都属于断章取义，混淆了医疗个案和群体案件定性之间的区别。[D]选项中easy access是原文exploding availability的同义改写，正确。
[B]无中生有。

3根据下列材料，请回答题
　　The average American drinks a gallon of soda a week，which delivers roughly 1，000 calories and no nutrition．The average American is also overweight or obese．Could changing one of those things help change the other?
　　A growing number of officials think so，which accounts for a spate of proposed new taxes on soda as a way to discourage consumption while at the same time raising money to fund other obesity—fighting initiatives．Some 20 states and cities，from New Mexico to Baltimore，contemplated soda taxes this spring．
　　The reaction against them has been swift and fierce．In March，scores of soda—company employees sporting Pepsi．Coke and 7.Up gear swarmed the Kansas state senate to fight a proposal that would have added a penny in tax for each teaspoon of sugar in a nonjuice drink．That would have increased the price of a 12-OZ．soda by about 10 and generated some $90 million in revenue a year．“I thought this is a wise choice，”says state senator John Vratil，who，like counterparts across the country，has been struggling to address both arecession—induced budget gap and rising public—heath costs stemming from obesity．Instead，he got an earful about how a soda tax would kill jobs，burden the poor and constitute an unwelcome government intrusion into the American diet．
　　Government involvement in what Americans eat is nothing new．But why tax soda andnot，say，ice cream，pizza or Oreos——0r，for that matter，the video games that discourage kids from going outside to run around?Washington city—council member Mary Cheh says it’s because soda is where scientists have observed the clearest link to excess pounds．When Cheh set out to fund her Healthy Schools Act，which would raise food and physical—education standards at schools in D．C．-where about 40％of kids are overweight or obese—she didn’t know she’d wind up going after soda．But the data overwhelmed her：The amount ofsoda the typical American drinks has grown by roughly 500％over the past 60 years，and of the 250 tO 300 calories a day Americans have，on average，added to their diets since the late 1970s．nearly half have come from sugared drinks．“I don’t want to prescribe taxes for all sorts of dietary choices，”says Cheh.“but if we were going to only target one thing to make a material difference，soda would be it．”
　　The tougher question is whether increasing the price of soda would，ia fact，reduce the number of calories people consume．Some research indicates the answer is yes．Other research leaves room for doubt．Though studies do show that a 10％increase in the price of soda leads people to purchase about 10％less of it．that doesn’t necessarily mean folks aren’t making up for those calories elsewhere．
　　How do people feel about soda taxes?In April．the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute asked residents of New York State if they supported or opposed a“fat tax”on nondiet sugared soda．Thirty—one percent were in favor，and 66％were opposed．Yet when asked if they would support such a tax if the money raised were used to fund health care，people changed their opinions dramatically．with 48％in favor and just 49％opposed．
The officials proposed new taxes on soda for all these purposes Except_______．

A．reducing citizens’calcIrie intake
B．increasing government revenue
C．bridging the gap between the rich and the poor
D．raising money for public—health programs
