48、【SI】、

标准答案:H

知识点解析：根据句子结构，这里应当填•个起宾语作用的名词或动名词。根据文

章内容，整篇文章讲的如何阻止吸毒，因此，只有addiclion(吸毒)与句子的意思吻

合。

49、[S2]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：名词effect提示这里应当填加一个可以和effect连用的介词。have

effectson意思为“对……产生影响

50、[S3]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：根据句子的意思，这里应当填加一个能起到承上启下作用的词。

nevertheless意思为“虽然如此，不过“，与句意吻合。

51、[S4]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：介词from提示这里应当填加一个可以和frem连用的介词。在所给的

选项中，只有Fpart可以和介词from连用，构成短语，意思为“除……之外:

52、[S51

标准答案：R

知识点解析：动词interfere是不及物动词，因此，它必须与介词连用构成短语动词

才能后接宾语。interferein意思为“干涉"；interferewith意思为“妨碍”。所给的选

项中没有介词in,故只能选介词witho

53、[S6]

标准答案：O

知识点解好：句子的下文讲的是所有人都吸毒有可能产生的后果，因此判断这应当

是一种警示(waming)。

54、[S7]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据句子下文的内容提示，头脑健康的人如果事先知道吸毒有可能产

生的后果，是不大可能去吸毒的。因此，应当选择形容词unlikely。

55、[S81

标准答案：E

知识点露析：根据句子下文的内容提示，作者明显是在进行类比：正像一些人会喝

醉酒一样，同样，一些人也会成为吸毒者。

56、[S9]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：根据句子的意思：因为多数人不会自杀，因此，吸毒者也不会成为各

种人群中的多数。majority意思为“多数”。

57、[S10]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：根据句子结构，这里应当填一个起主语作用的动名词，而且，所填的

动名词还必须能够和不定式连用。根据句子的意思，应当选择forbidding。forbid

somebody（odosomething意思为“禁止某人做某事”。
