问题     The legal limit for driving after drinking is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood in the U.S. when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, sex, and the sort of drinks you have had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
    In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you’ re below the legal limit, you can still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.
    It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit. In addition, if you have had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.
    In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive through a set of moveable posts in the driving test…and the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure you’ re safe is not to drink at all.
    Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among people. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of twice more than the legal limit.
    It is important to remember that driving after drinking doesn’t just affect yourself. If you are involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the persons you might injure or kill.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

选项 A、When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, you might be still over the legal limit next morning.
B、The more alcoholic drinks the drivers have had, the more likely they are to pass the driving test.
C、If you have had a standard drink, you may drive one and a half hours later.
D、If you want to drive safely, you had better not drink at all.

答案B

解析 根据第三段前两句“It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit. ”可知,喝一标准杯的酒需要大约4小时才能将酒精排出体外,所以一个半小时后再开车是可行的,而且如果晚上酗酒的话,第二天早上你体内的酒精含量可能依然会超出法定上限,所以选项A、C正确;根据第四段第一句“In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had…in the driving lest…and the less able they were to do it!”可知,司机喝酒越多,就越不可能通过驾驶测试,所以选项B错误;根据第四段最后一句“So the only way to be sure you’ re safe is not to drink at all. ”可知,想要安全开车,最好完全不喝酒,所以选项D正确。故选B。
