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] Many countries are shocked to find that______.
选项 A、consuming countries are confronting a serious drug problem
B、drug problem has become more serious than ever
C、drug trafficking gangs are often allied with terrorists
D、drag abuse is undermining their government
答案 B
解析 事实细节题。见文章第二段第三句Today, not only have many“producing countries”also become“consuming countries”，但是今天，不仅许多“毒品生产国”也变成了“毒品消费国”；许多发展中国家更是感到有局势失控的危险。因此，毒品问题空前严重，故选B。A、C、D三项只是毒品问题的一个方面，均不贴切。
