问题     It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Label each drug with a precise description of what effect—good and bad—the drug will have on the taker. This will require heroic honesty.
    For the record, I have tried—once—almost every drug and like none, disproving the popular theory that taking a single smoke of opium will enslave the mind. Nevertheless many drugs are bad for certain people to take and they should be told why in a sensible way.
    Along with advice and warning; it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation men who believed that each man has the right to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbor’s pursuit of happiness.
    Now one can hear the warning; If everyone is allowed to take drugs, everyone will, and the gross national product will decrease and we shall end up a race of foods. Alarming thought. Yet it seems most likely that any reasonably healthy-minded person will become a drug addict if he knows in advance what addiction is going to be like.
    Is everyone reasonably sensible? No. Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always become drunk, and it is just too bad. Every man, however, has the power to kill himself if he chooses. But since most men don’t, they won’t be the majority, either. Nevertheless, forbidding people things they like or things they might enjoy only makes them want those things all the more. This psychological insight is, for some mysterious reason, denied by our governors. [br] Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
选项 A、Few people will take drugs if they are allowed to.
B、The United States will be easily defeated if its citizens are allowed to take drugs.
C、It is a general practice to forbid drugs in different countries.
D、A majority of people will become addictive to drugs if they are allowed to take them.
答案 C
解析 该题是推理题。根据末段第二句“Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always become drunk，and it is just too bad”和第三句“they won’t be the majority”可以看出，选项A和选项D是两个极端，都不对。选项B不符合文章意义，作者认为这是不可能的。参照上两题可以判断，在不少国家禁毒是惯例，故选C)。
