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.
It can be inferred from the passage that________.
选项
A、Donald Gorrie introduced the ban on promotions to off-licenses
B、alcoholic drinking brought about heated public discussion
C、the Executive and the Scottish parliament are in favor of aleohol ban
D、it iS technically feasible to define what sales promotions are
答案
B
解析
推断题。题干:根据这篇文章可以推断出______。A选项在原文并未提及,原文只提到吊销驾照是年初的一项禁酒措施,故排除A;国会并没有认为需要禁酒,故C项说法不对,可排除;根据第五段开头“It remains to be seen if it is technically feasible to define sales promotions…”可知,限制超市对酒进行减价促销这一措施是否可行,还不确定,故D项不正确。根据全文可知,禁酒已经受到了国会、各种领导以及公众的关注,甚至会影响首相的选举。B选项“饮酒引起了公众的热议”为正确答案,故选B。
