A．What；what a

C．That；how

解析：选B。考查名词性从句。句意：一些青少年没意识到的是他们染上毒瘾后生活有多么艰难。“________some teenagers don’t realize”为主语从句，该从句中缺少主语且表“事物”，故第一空填what，排除C、D两项；“________difficult life can be after they get addicted to drugs.”为表语从句，该从句中life作主语，difficult作表语，设空处后为形容词，故用how引导。如选A项，表语从句应改为．..what a difficult life they can live/have after...。

解析：选B。考查在情景对话中理解语境的能力。句意：——还有什么需要讨论的吗？——我猜没有了，就这些。A选项表示“一点儿也不，没关系，别客气”，语意不符合语境；B选项表示“不，就这些了”，常用来表示说话的结束；C选项表示“是，我确信”，sure的使用与空后的I guess相矛盾；D选项表示“是的，当然了”，其语意与后文的I guess相矛盾。考生往往仅凭汉语翻译误选D项。

(2016·岳阳市检测)Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence，a Cardiff University study has found.
A team from the School of Dentistry’s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11～16 in England.They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit，even if they weren’t violent themselves.
The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk.Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.
More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North，the Midlands，London，and the South.The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily，with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year.By the age of 16,40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day.The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.
The study，which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence，found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.
However，children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit.Adolescents who drank but didn’t get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.
Professor Jonathan Shepherd，who led the research，said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders rather than the victims.His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the “teachable moment”，that is，immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.
Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination，poor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night.
He said，“This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization.There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury.”
5．The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcohol ________.
A．often offend other people
B．often become injured
C．are more likely to become victims of violence
D．are more likely to fight with others
解析：选C。主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence”可知答案为C。
6．The underlined word “aggression” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．
A．violence B．sad feelings
C．bad manners
D．drunkenness
解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据上下文尤其是本句后半句可知，aggression与victimization意思相反，所以aggression是“暴力行为”的意思。
7．The research argues that more effort should be made to ______.
A．reduce aggression
B．prevent fighting
C．reduce victimization
D．prevent drinking alcohol
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句中的“this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization”可知答案为C。
8．Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．reduced physical co-ordination
B．isolation while out late at night
C．a higher frequency of hitting other people
D．poor decision-making in threatening situations
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段可知答案。
9．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherd’s research?
A．The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age.
B．His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders.
C．Some children missed school because of drunkenness.
D．This new study shows a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization.
解析：选B。细节理解题。B项偷换概念，原文为“a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders”，这些研究不一定就是这位教授以前的研究。
