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.
A drug addict is always in trouble with law______.
选项
A、because he loses hope in himself
B、because turning to crime is his only way of getting money to buy the expensive drugs
C、because he rebels against the society and does not see things in the lights of reason
D、because he often gets into bad company
答案
B
解析
本题考查的是细节判断能力:即为什么吸毒者会经常违反法律。本题所给的四个选项分别为:A因为他自己失去信心;B因为犯罪是他买昂贵毒品所需钱的惟一来源;C因为他要和社会作对并且不能理智地看待事物;D因为他和坏人打交道。我们可以从原文第五段第二和第三句话: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.(吸毒者参与犯罪活动并不是毒品自身的一个直接原因,犯罪经常是吸毒者获得那一笔钱的惟一途径。他的罪行通常是偷窃或者与盗窃财产罪有关。)由此可见,正确答案应是B。
