问题     The United Nations Conference on Drag Abuse that took place earlier this year in Vienna was a very productive meeting. As nerve before, the nations of the world demonstrated a willingness to put aside ideological and individual differences to confront a common threat.
    Most previous international gatherings on this subject have not seen the same intensity of delegate interest. Many nations have gone through a shock of recognition. A decade ago, only those nations identified as "consuming countries" were thought to have a serious drug problem. Today, not only have many "producing countries" also become "consuming countries", but many have witnessed the growth within their borders of drug trafficking gangs (often allied with terrorists) so powerful they present a danger to the state’s stability. Many developing countries now have the worst of both worlds, in that they grow their own narcotics and addict large numbers of their own people. There is a growing sense of fright in many governments that matters are out of control and the single way to recover is through cooperation with other countries.
    The high points of the conference were the drafting of two documents, both of which were adopted without a dissenting vote. One was a joint declaration of intent to combat drug abuse and trafficking. The other consisted of many detailed suggestions for particular regional and national policies.
    Overall, the conference developed a two-level action plan. The focus was on ways to curb the demand for dangerous drugs and on methods of destroying or at least interrupting the distribution process.
    On the demand side, the delegates recommended the establishment of a system for collecting information on the nature and scope of narcotics use. In addition to that drug education should be taught in schools and those governments and labor organizations should act together in the anti-drag campaign in the workplace. The delegates also recommended strict adherence to international agreements to curb the supply of narcotics. [br] Striking feature of the UN Conference on Drug Abuse is that______.
选项 A、the delegates were unprecedentedly unanimous in their attempt to control drag abuse
B、the conference touched upon many issues in the world
C、it was held by many countries
D、two documents were signed
答案 A
解析 事实细节题。见第一段第二句，As nerve before，the nations of the world demonstrated a willingness to put aside ideological and individual differences to confront a common threat．这次大会和以往不同的是，各与会国家都表示愿意抛弃在意识形态和个体上的分歧来共同对付毒品问题。显然A是大会的显著特点，而B说法错误，C和D虽是事实，但不是大会的显著特点，故选A。
