Part 3 Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each question (5ms)
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
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho 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 programmes to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink
Tough 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 in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double 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, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment” They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organised crime As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution
71 Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because … …
A most Americans are heavy drinkers
B Americans are now less shocked by road accidents
C accidents attract so much publicity
D drinking is a socially accepted habit in America
72 Why has public opinion regarding drunken driving changed?
A Detailed statistics are now available
B The news media have highlighted the problem
C Judges are giving more severe sentences
D Drivers are more conscious of their image
73 Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that……
A many drivers were not of legal age
B young drivers were often bad drivers
C the level of drinking increased in the 1960s
D the legal drinking age should be raised
Trang 574 Laws recently introduced in some states have……
A reduced the number of convictions
B resulted in fewer serious accidents
C prevented bars from serving drunken customers
D specified the amount drivers can drink
75 Why is the problem of drinking and driving difficult to solve?
C Legal prohibition has already failed D Legislation alone is not sufficient
