A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol 【C3】______ or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or 【C4】______ of whisky drank within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be a (n) 【C5】______ part of the American macho image and judges were, lenient in most courts, but the drunken 【C6】______ has recently caused so many tragedies, especially involving children, 【C7】______ public opinion is no longer tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the 【C8】______ drinking age to 21, rather than 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-to-20-year old drivers more than 【C9】______ , so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear 【C10】______ the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational 【C11】______ to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" and teach them to resist 【C12】______ pressure to drink.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in some areas, to a marked 【C13】______ in fatalities. Some are also penalizing bars for 【C14】______ customers too many drinks.

选项
A、murder
B、butchery
C、slaughter
D、massacre
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。A murder表示“谋杀”;B butchery“残杀,大屠杀”,暗指残忍、血腥,丝毫没有任何同情心的杀戮;C slaughter“屠宰(牲口);大屠杀”,是指大范围的、无情的杀戮,可以是在战争时期,也可以是指某次可怕的事故,灾难等;D massacre“大屠杀”,指的是大规模的、不加区别的杀戮,特别是指对没有做好保护准备,没有保护能力的人的杀戮。根据前面的drunken,可见这里指的是酒后驾车带来的交通事故,因此最佳选项是C 。
