问题     Two separate surveys suggest that Britain’s teenagers are amongst the heaviest drug-users and drinkers in Europe. The British government has introduced a number of measures to tackle the use and supply of drugs, particularly among young people.
    The European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drags interviewed 15-and 16- year olds in 35 countries. Twenty six percent of boys and 29 percent of girls in the United Kingdom had indulged in binge drinking at least three times in the previous month. For the purpose of the study, binge drinking was classed as having more than five alcoholic drinks in a row. In the same survey, 42 percent of boys and 35 percent of girls admitted they had tried illegal drugs at least once.
    According to another survey, by the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction, two in five 15-year-olds in the United Kingdom have tried cannabis. This number is higher than anywhere else in Europe. The United Kingdom has also the joint highest number of young cocaine users, alongside Spain.
    The British government has recently unveiled new plans to fight the problem of drug abuse in the United Kingdom, also among teenagers. According to the new proposals, young offenders will have to attend drug treatment as part of community service. British police will be able to give people blood tests for drugs when they arrest them, not just when they charge them with an offence. Dealers working near a school or using children to help sell drugs will face tougher penalties.
    But schools also try to fight the problem of drug use themselves. At the beginning of 2005, a British state school has introduced for the first time random drug testing. Students from a school in Kent will have mouth swabs taken to detect drug use. Each week 20 names will be selected by computer and the swabs sent off to a drug testing laboratory. Results will be available three days later. The school’s head teacher says that no child will be tested against his or her wishes. Children who test positive will not be expelled from the school, but those who sell drugs will. [br] Random drug testing ______.
选项 A、is practiced all over the Britain
B、involves taking the student’s blood to test drug use
C、aims at driving drag-taking students out of the school
D、is arranged with the help of computer
答案 D
解析 文章最后一段提到随机毒品检验的问题。该做法是由英国的一所郡立学校制订的。因此，排除A；另外，根据“Students from a school in Kent will have mouth swabs taken to detect drug use．”可以判断提取的是学生唾液样本，而不是抽血，因此，选项B也不正确；文章最后提到“(Children who test positive will not be expelled from the school(药检验呈阳性的学生不会被驱逐出校)．”，因此，选项C也不正确。选项D说该检验由计算机辅助进行，与文中提到的“Each week 20 names will be selected by computer(由计算机随机抽取20名学生)．”一致，故选D。
