考查对全文大意的判断选项A是有关新法规中关于法定饮酒年龄的表述，定位到

文章原句65percentofthepopulationsaytheyareinfavorthenew

measures—especiallythosethatrestrictalcoholsalestothoseunder21,

可见选项A的有超过50%的人支持把合法饮酒年龄提高到21岁的说法是符合原

文意思的。选项B是关于饮酒年龄与饮酒习惯的关系的表述，定位到文章原句

Theearlierpeoplestartdownthatroute,themorelikelytheyaretoend

upgrapplingwithalcoholismproblemslater.选项B认为开始饮酒的年龄

越小，以后成为酗酒者的可能性越大，与原文意思相符。选项C是关于伏特加酒

特加酒的销售份额占每年酒饮料的30%,是与原文意思不符的，故选C。选项D

是关于伏特加酒与啤酒的表述，定位到文章原句Oneattempt,triedinthe

mid-1990s,substitutedbeerasalessintoxicatingnon-liquor

alternative.Instead,“beerhasbecomeagatewayopeningthewayto

Frankenstein；or,theModernPrometheuswaspublishedanonymously.两

年后，Frankenstein匿名出版了。可见两年后，是以1816年为参照标准的，故

1818年是第一版的出版年份。1816年在文章中是VisitingSwitzerlandinJune

1816,表示在瑞士旅游的时间。1831,在文章中出现在Inanintroductionto

arevised1831edition,表示1831年出版了一个修改版本，并非是第一版。

1996年在文章中是出现在in1996,editedareproductionofMary'snotebooks

forscholarlyaudiences,表示在1996年重新出版了Mary的笔记，并非是出

版Frankenstein。
