问题     Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
    By James Hardy Political Editor
    PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain’s outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws.
    Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen’s Speech next week. Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
    Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 1 lp.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time.
    The move will be opposed by some MPs (下院议员) who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism, drunken behavior and crime. But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.
    Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.
    Mr. Blair said: "We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing. In the end, the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior. At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."
    The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.
    In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement, the Government is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.
    The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.
The "Bill" in the second paragraph refers to______.
选项 A、some new pubs and clubs will be open
B、some pubs and clubs will be closed
C、pubs and clubs can be open at different times
D、pubs and clubs can be open day and night
答案D
解析 第一段提到酒吧将被允许24小时开放。第二段，布莱尔总理说了，有一个议案将是皇后讲话的内容之一。后面紧接着说有些酒吧会被允许24小时营业，而有些酒吧则需在不同的时间关门。由此可知，这个议案就是指酒吧24小时营业的问题。
