Narcotic Addiction (麻醉品依赖)
Heroin(海洛因)addiction today is found chiefly among young people in ghetto areas(贫农区) , of the more than 60, 000 known addicts, more than half live in New York State. Most of these live in New York City. Recent figures show that more than half of the addicts are less than 30 years of age.
Narcotic(麻醉剂)addiction in the United States is not limited to heroin users. Some middle-aged and older persons who take narcotic drugs regularly to relieve pain can also become addicted. So do some people who can get drugs easily, such as doctors, nurses and druggists. Studies show that this type of addict has personality and emotional problems very similar to those of other regular narcotic users.
Many addicts admit that getting a continued supply is the main objective of their lives. His concentration on getting drugs often prevents .the addict from continuing his education or his job. His health is often poor. He may be sick one day from effects of withdrawal(撤退,这里指不吸毒) and sick the next from an overdose(吸毒过量). Statistics show that his life span(寿命) may be shorted by 15~20 years. He is usually in trouble with his family and almost always in trouble with the law.
Some studies suggest that many of the known narcotic addicts had some trouble with the law before they became addicted. Once addicted, they may even become more involved with crime because it costs so much to support the heroin habit.
Most authorities agree that the addict’s involvement with crime is not a direct effect of the drug itself. Turning to crime is usually the only way he has of getting that much money. His crimes are always thefts or other crimes against property.
Federal penalties for illegal usage of narcotics were established under the Harrison Act(哈里森法案令) of 1914. The Act provides(规定) that illegal possession of narcotics is punished by fines or imprisonment. Sentences can range from 2~10 years for further offences.
Illegal sale of narcotics can mean a fine of $ 20, 000 and a sentence from 20~40 years for later offences. A person who sells narcotics to someone under 18 is refused parole(假释)and probation (假释和缓刑), even for the first offences. If the drug is heroin, he can be sentenced to life imprisonment or to death.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?
选项
A、The biggest state for addicts in the U. S..
B、The age group of drug addicts.
C、The place where most drag addicts live.
D、The cause of drug abuse.
答案
D
解析
本题考查的是对原文事实的判断。即文章第一段里没有提到以下哪一个,可以用排除法解答。由第一段我们可以看出,今天海洛因吸毒者大部分是住在贫民窟的年轻人,在美国已知的60, 000吸毒者中,一半人在纽约;最近数字表明,一半以上的吸毒者年龄不到30岁。由此可见,选项A、B、c都在第一段中提到了,只有D项没有提到,所以,正确答案是D。
