While much of the United States of America put Prohibition to rest 73 years ago, large parts of the South have remained strictly off-limits to alcohol sales.
But local and national business interests that stand to profit from the sale of alcohol, including real estate developers, grocery chains, restaurant groups and Wal-Mart, are combining their political and financial muscle to try to persuade hundreds of dry towns and counties to go wet. In the process, they are changing the face of the once staunchly prohibitionist Bible Belt.
Attempts by Wal-Mart and others to allow alcohol sales in other places that remain dry—415 counties in the South and in Kansas still prohibit such sales—are meeting fierce resistance from some church groups and religious leaders. They argue that returning to the days when liquor flowed will mean more family violence, underage drinking, drunken driving and a general moral decay in the community.
Wal-Mart, based in a dry county in Arkansas, forbids drinking at events held at corporate headquarters. But the giant retailer has made a push in the last year to sell more liquor, along with beer and wine, in its stores.
According to the passage, a "dry" county is most probably a ______ .
选项
A、district in which alcohol is prohibited
B、country that is suffering from drought
C、land where it has usually been very dry
D、wine that contains little alcoholic content
答案
A
解析
推断题型第一段中提到美国有些州取消了《禁酒令》,但南部各州中却有许多州仍然严格禁止酒类销售;在第二段中提到:但当地和国有的企业界/商界坚决主张从售酒中获利……他们试图说服hundreds of dry towns and counties to go wet.“dry”与”wet”意义相反,由此推断出可能是dry towns and counties是禁酒的,而go wet是取消禁酒;另外在第三段第一句中也可看到...other places that remain dry—415 counties in the South and in Kansas still prohibit such sales;破折号后表同义或解释;由此推断出A为答案。
