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] The British government proposals in the new plans that ______.
选项
A、young drug takers should accept drug treatment
B、the police give people a blood test when they are charged
C、children who sell drugs be given penalties
D、transportation of drags be punished
答案
A
解析
根据文章第四段“…,young offenders will have to attend drug treatment as part of community service.British police will be able to give people blood tests for drags 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.”该部分意为:青少年吸毒者要接受戒毒治疗,这是社区服务的一部分。警察在抓捕吸食者的时候要对其进行血液检验,而不是等到提交法庭审理再化验。在学校附近或者利用儿童贩卖毒品的人员要予以更严厉的处罚。
