The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. "The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness, "says the UN’s International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year,
The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. "Some songs encourage people to take drugs. Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person’s lifestyle, "the study says,
Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose(过量用药). "Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn(哀悼)the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use, "it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars—including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs—have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses, With the globalization of popular music, drug abuse is now reaching beyond their countries of origin.
The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. "Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive, "says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. "Powerful pressure groups and political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs, "he says. Ghodse also points out that all the developments have created an environment which is tolerant(容忍的)of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.
The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug(赞成吸毒)messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.
Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with?
选项
A、The use of drags for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person’s lifestyle.
B、The spreading of pop music may cause drug abuse to go beyond country boundaries.
C、No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.
D、Governments have no ability to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.
答案
B
解析
细节判断题。从第三段最后一句,With the globalization of popular music,drug abuse is now reaching beyond their countries of origin(随着流行音乐在世界范围内的普及,毒品滥用已经远远跨出了它们的原产地),可以看出,流行音乐的广泛传播使得毒品滥用跨越国家界限,即选项B。从第二段的最后一句,Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person’s lifestyle,可以看出A是不正确的。从第四段的最后一句可以看出国际社会做出了很多努力,所以C是不正确的。最后一段呼吁政府来采取行动,说明政府还是有能力的,所以D与原文不符。
