Scots are more likely to drink themselves to death than people from any other nation in Western Europe except Austria and Porugal.Everyday,six Scots die from alcohol—related conditions.Our hospitals and health services struggle with the wider damage.An estimated 51,600 Scots suffer from drink—related illness.Incidence of liver disease has shot up 40 per cent in the past seven years.Most knife attacks and most adult murders occur under the influence of alcoh01.
As if all this were not bad enough,problems with alcohol abuse are now spreading to an ever younger age group.The proportion of pupils aged 12-15 who had had an alcoholic drink in the previous week rose in the last decade from 14 per cent to 21 per cent.Today more than 40 percent of all 15-year—olds admit to having had a drink in the past week.Much juvenile crime and vandalism is drink related.
To this credit,the Executive has focused his attention on alcohol abuse problem.Behind the scenes,the Executive is discussing how far it should go in trying to persuade Scots to drink in a more sensible fashion.The First Minister is known to be against an alcohol ban on the lines of prohibition on public smoking.He is correct that such a move would not be accepted by the electorate and,anyway,general prohibition tends to drive substance abuse underground rather than eliminate it.
Nevertheless,a debate is emerging on what controls to put on the easy availability of alcohol,especially to the young.As we report today,Donald Gorrie,the veteran Liberal Democrat MSP,is launching a campaign in the Scottish Parliament to prohibit supermarkets from offering cut—price promotions on alcoholic drinks,in line with a similar ban on such promotions to off-licenses and public houses introduced earlier this year.
It remains to be seen if it iS technically feasible to define sales promotions of alcohol in a supermarket in such a way as to control them.There is also a reasonable argument that it is better to have people buy drinks at a supermarket,where the likelihood is they will consume the alcohol at home rather than binge in public.On the other hand,much of the alcohol consumed by underground drinkers is pilfered from the family supply.Perhaps the real solution is to question me cheapness of alcohol across the board.
Nevertheless,Mr.Gorrie has opened an important public discussion.He has a knack for making parliament confront awkward issues,and alcohol is one such issue.
In the author’s eyes,the feasible solution is_______.
选项
A、to raise the price of alcohol
B、to prohibit supermarkets from selling alcohol
C、to drink alcohol only at home
D、to limit promotion on alcoholic drinks in pubs
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干:作者眼里可行的措施是________。根据倒数第二段最后一句话“Perhaps the real solution is to question me cheapness of alcohol across the board”可知,作者在分析了一系列禁酒措施的不合理之后,得出了这样的结论:可能真正的解决方法是质疑所有的廉价酒,即应该提高酒的价格。A选项“提高酒价”符合题意,故选A。
