Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.
Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男子汉) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach then to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒栈) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade, there is no easy solution.
16、Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because .
A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speed
B. most drivers regard heavy drinking as part of the American macho image
C. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increased
D. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers
17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving?
A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.
B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.
C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken drivers.
D. Because drunken drivers are more conscious of their image.
18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that .
A. many drunken drivers were not of legal age
B. many young people were in no way qualified drivers
C. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragedies
D. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken drivers
19. Laws recently introduced in some states have .
A. reduced the number of convictions
B. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidents
C. prevented bars from serving drunken drivers
D. specified the amount drivers can drink
20. What’s the author’s attitude towards the solution to drunken driving in the United Stats?
