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.

选项
A、experiment
B、experience
C、examination
D、inspection
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。根据句子意思,要填人的信息指的是始于1919年持续了13年的国家禁酒令,它被胡佛总统称之为“高尚的……”。前文中提到了各州为了控制酒后驾车所采取的各项措施,可以推断1919年开始的那次国家禁酒也是一种尝试,因此A experiment比较合适。
