Many people all over the world enjoy an alcoholic drink during dinner. Many people raise a glass of alcohol to celebrate a wedding or a birthday.[20]And having drinks after work with friends and coworkers is called "happy hour." All these situations are considered "social drinking" because they happen at social events.
But when does "social drinking" become problem drinking?
According to the World Health Organization, alcohol abuse kills 3.3 million people each year. That is six percent of all deaths around the world.
And in a new report on alcohol use around the world, the WHO says alcohol can create dependency, or addiction, in some people. The report also warns that alcohol use can increase the risk of developing more than 200 diseases, including some kinds of cancers. And, the WHO says alcohol abuse can put people at greater risk of infectious diseases.
WHO Mental Health and Substance Abuse Director Shekhar Saxena says the organization is concerned about drinking among young people between the ages of 15 and 19. And it is most concerned about "binge-drinking," or an extended period of heavy drinking.
The report concludes that worldwide 16 percent of drinkers over the age of 15 engage in binge-drinking, which is much more harmful than other kind of drinking.
The report warns that more women are drinking alcohol. And, the report says women are at greater risk than men for some alcohol-related health conditions.
The report also finds Europe is the area with the highest alcohol use. Central and Eastern Europe are especially high.
The WHO says people in Russia, Ukraine, and some neighboring countries drink a lot of alcohol and binge drink.
Vladimir Poznyak is the WHO Management of Substance Abuse Coordinator. He says less alcohol is used in Africa than in Europe. But, he adds, the health effects are worse in Africa because of a lack of social support systems, such as access to health care.
The World Health Organization suggests ways countries can protect people from alcohol abuse. These include increasing taxes on alcohol sales, raising the drinking age limit and controlling the marketing of alcoholic beverages.
20. What is "happy hour"?
21. What do we learn about alcohol use from the talk?
22. What does WHO suggest on controlling alcohol use?
选项
A、Protecting people from alcohol abuse.
B、Increasing tax on alcohol production.
C、Raising the legal age for drinking.
D、Forbidding alcoholic drinks marketing.
答案
C
解析
选项均为动名词短语,推测问题可能与行为或做法有关。题目问WHO就如何控制饮酒给出了什么建议。录音末尾处提到WHO给出了几条控酒建议,其中包括“提高饮酒的年龄限制”,C项“提高饮酒的法定年龄”即为该处录音信息的同义表达,故选C项。A项“保护人们免受酒精滥用之害”其实是对题目问题的同义转述,并不是具体的建议。录音中提到要提高对酒精销售所征的税,而不是提高对酒精生产的征税,B项与录音信息不符。WHO提的最后一点建议是要“控制”(controlling)含酒精饮料的销售,D项错在“禁止”(Forbidding)。
