Is there no end to the Drug Plague?
Last year, our nation’s capital passed the murder-a-day mark, and the number of homicides is now up some 50 per cent from that level. More than half of these killings are drug-related. In 1988 New York City had its most violent year ever, with 1896 homicides. Many of these involved drugs. Such homicides are also a problem in Detroit, Baltimore, St. Lou is, Los Angeles, Phoenix and scores of other cities where drug gangs war against one another and use violence to spread their deadly trade. In Bankhead Courts, and Atlanta housing project, drug-related crime has reached the point where mail carders have had to depend on increased police patrols at delivery time.
For years, we have attacked the supply side of the drug crisis, trying to choke oft the flow of drugs into our country and stop the networks that distribute them. This strategy has failed miserably. Now it’s time to launch a whole new often sive We must crack down on drug consumers.
Last year, former First Lady Nancy Reagan had an emotional meeting with the parents of young woman who had died in a train crash that involved an engineer’s use of drugs. After that meeting, Mrs. Reagan said, "If you’ re a casual drug user, you’re an accomplice m murder. ’
Mary Jane Hatcher, widow of a New York City drag-enforcement agent killed in the drag wars, echoes that sentiment. "Even through the grief," she said after her husband’ 8 death earlier this year, "I must ask, who really killed Everett Emerson from our society? Look around. We middle-class suburban Americans, we casual users, we dabblers in drugs keep the market in drugs an ever-increasing one. Therefore, Everett Emerson Hatcher was killed by all of us. Nice people. All of you who hear me now and fit this description, all of you must accept the blame for the loss of this good, gentle man." [br] The best title for this passage is ______.
选项
A、There Is No End to the Drug Plague
B、Let’s Get Tough with Drug User
C、We Must Crack Down on Drug Supplies
D、Everyone Is A Victim of Drug Use
答案
B
解析
根据原文第三段最后一句We must crack down on drug consumers(我们必须打击那些吸毒者。),此处才是作者想阐述的真正观点,后面的文字均是例证,用来强调这一观点。A、C和D项虽然文中均有提及,但不能概括全文的中心意思。因此B为正确选项。
