问题    The United Nations Conference on Drug Abuse that took place earlier this year in Vienna, was a very productive meeting. As never before, the nations of the world demonstrated a willingness to confront a common threat.
   Most previous international gatherings on this subject have not seen the same intensity of delegate inter est. Many nations have gone through a shock of recognition. A decade ago, only those nations identified as "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 people. There is a growing sense of fright in ninny 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 with out a disagreed vote. One was a joint declaration of intent to combat drag abuse and traffic. 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 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, they concluded that drug education should be taught in schools and that governments and labor organizations should act together in the anti-drug campaign in the work place. The delegates also recommended strict adherence to international agreements to curb the supply of narcotics. [br] The United Nations Conference ______.
选项 A、was not as intense as previous meetings
B、failed to recognize drug problems in many countries
C、was successful in developing a two-level action plan
D、showed governments’ confidence in handling their own problems independently
答案 C
解析 第四段第一句中的“the conference developed a two-level action plan”就明确表明[C]是正确答案。第二段第一句是把代表的兴趣强烈与前几次会议作比较，而不是把会议本身是否激烈作比较，故[A]错误。[B]和[D]与文中意思相反，均可排除。
