2010 年 5 月北京成人英语三级考试真题及答案

　　Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

　　Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed

by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken

the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is

being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse

worldwide. “The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness,”

says the UN's International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last

year.

　　The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is by far the

most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. “Some songs

encourage people to take drugs. (76) Certain pop stars make statements and set

examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and

acceptable part of a person's lifestyle,” the study says.

　　Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems

to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药). “Such

incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role

model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use,”it notes.

Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars--

including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan

Melvin and Andy Gibbs--have died of either drug abuse or drug related

illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting, drug

abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. “In most countries,

the names of certain POP stars have become familiar to the members of every

household,”the study says.

　　The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug

incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drag abuse. “Over the past

years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable

or even attractive,”says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. “Powerful

pressure groups and political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled

drugs,”he says. Ghodse also points out that all thee developments have created

an environment which is tolerant(容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and

spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.

　　The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment

that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do

their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug (赞成吸毒)

messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are drug

exposed.

　　1. Which of the following statements does ,the author tend to agree with?
