Do we need laws that prevent us from running risks with our lives? If so, then perhaps laws are needed prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks.
We’ve already tried that. For 13 years, between 1920 and 1933, there were no liquor stores anywhere in the United States. They were shut down—abolished by an amendment (修正 案). After January 20, 1920, there was supposed to be no more manufacturing, selling, or transporting of "intoxication liquors. " Without any more liquor, people could not drink it. And if they did not drink it, how could they get drunk? There would be no more dangers to the public welfare from drunkenness and alcoholism. It was all very logical. And yet prohibition of liquor, beer, and wine did not work. Why?
Because, law or no law, millions of people still liked to drink alcohol. And they were willing to take risks to get it. They were not about to change their tastes and habits just because of a change in the law. And gangs of liquor smugglers made it easy to buy an illegal drink—or two or three. They smuggled millions of gallons of the illegal beverages (饮料) across the Canadian and Mexican borders. Drinkers were lucky to know of an illegal bar that served Mexican or Canadian liquor. Crime and drunkenness were both supposed to decline as a result of prohibition. Instead people drank more alcohol than ever—often poisoned alcohol.
On December 5, 1933, they removed prohibition by approving the 21st Amendment to the Constitution.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、the Congress was wise to repeal Prohibition
B、the Prohibition Era was characterized by a decrease in crime and drunkenness
C、during Prohibition, most Americans stopped drinking
D、laws should be passed to ban the sale of alcoholic beverages
答案
A
解析
推论题。第3段最后一句话说明禁酒运动不但没有解决问题,反而使酗酒愈演愈烈。所以还是撤销这一禁令更为明智。
