Question

【题目】Graham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”

The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement（强制执行） to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”

试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了吸毒上瘾的Graham经过治疗，重新恢复正常生活的故事。在这件事情中他的母亲起了很大作用，她毅然带领执法人员强行把她的儿子送到戒毒中心，最后使他戒掉了毒瘾。

【1】B词义猜测题。根据后句 A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug.以及下文内容可知Graham是一个吸毒者，由此判断他和朋友们都注射毒品，故选B。

【2】A推理判断题。根据第二段“I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said,可知当Graham的母亲带人来的时候他刚刚服过毒品，故选A。
