参考答案：错

解析：[听力原文]Each year alcoholism kills 40,000 Americans. It costs our country over ＄80 billion. It is implicated in 30 percent of suicides and 46 percent of teen suicides and is a factor in one of four hospital admissions. No wonder it has long been decried as not far removed from original sin.

[分析]： 因果关系的理解和判断。 关于酗酒问题，原文以大量实例说明酗酒的危害，而后总结说No wonder it has long been decried as not far removed from original sin 即难怪酗酒倍受谴责，只是刚刚脱离原罪。由此可见，题干认为由于原罪，许多美国人酗酒造成极大危害的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。[解题关键] 掌握信号词的用法，可以帮助理清上下文的逻辑关系。本题中最后一句的 no wonder 即“难怪”暗示了前后文间的因果关系。
