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.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in some areas, to a marked 【C13】______ in fatalities. Some are also penalizing bars for 【C14】______ customers too many drinks.

选项
A、increase
B、deduction
C、reduction
D、decline
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。根据前面提到的内容“新的法律使得被捕人数和测试人数不断上升”,我们可以推断出,后面内容是表示“在一些地区,使得死亡人数也显著下降”。因此,选C reduction表示“(数量、量)降低,减少”。其他选项A increase表示“增加”,与句意刚好相反;B deduction“减除,扣除”,与题意不符;D decline“降低,下降”,一般指的是价值、质量、利润等的降低。
