A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol 【C3】______ or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or 【C4】______ of whisky drank within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be a (n) 【C5】______ part of the American macho image and judges were, lenient in most courts, but the drunken 【C6】______ has recently caused so many tragedies, especially involving children, 【C7】______ public opinion is no longer tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the 【C8】______ drinking age to 21, rather than 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-to-20-year old drivers more than 【C9】______ , so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear 【C10】______ the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational 【C11】______ to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" and teach them to resist 【C12】______ pressure to drink.

选项
A、illegal
B、legal
C、legitimate
D、lawless
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析题。根据后面举的例子:新泽西州将合法饮酒年龄降为18岁后,被18至20岁之间的司机撞死的人数翻了一番。可见,本题指的是大多数的州将合法饮酒年龄提高到 21岁。首先排除A 和D ,与语境不符。其余两个选项B legal“合法的;与法律有关的”,表示“合法的”时,它表示法律所允许或规定的;C 1egitimate“合法的,有效的”,指的是按照法律,可以允许或可接受的,比如:1egitimate government“合法政府”,因此,正确答案是B 。
