　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　Because of how slowly the government collects data, it could be five to six months before definitive numbers exist on the change in overdoses during the pandemic.

　　参考译文：由于政府收集数据的速度缓慢，可能需要五到六个月的时间才能确定疫情期间药物滥用数据的确切变化。

　　第二句：

　　But data obtained by The Washington Post from a real-time tracker of drug-related emergency calls and interviews with coroners suggest that overdoses have not just increasedsince the pandemic began but are accelerating as it persists.

　　这里的关键是：

　　have not just : 不只是

　　but : 而是

　　2016年真题第四篇文章就是这个考点。

　　为了避免剧透我就不说具体的了。

　　参考译文：但是，《华盛顿邮报》从实时跟踪与药物有关的急诊病例和采访验尸官的人士手中所获得的数据表明，自疫情开始以来，药物滥用不仅有所增加，而且还在持续加剧。

　　思考题解析：

　　A. government has no data about drug overdoses

　　(政府没有关于药物滥用的数据)

　　政府不是没有数据，是数据还不确切。

　　A选项错误。

　　B. the pandemic has seen increase of drug overdoses

　　(疫情期间药物滥用增加)

　　最后一句说了不仅增加了，而且加速了，所以一定正确!

　　B选项正确。

　　C. emergency calls have dropped in recent months

　　(最近几个月急诊病例有所下降)

　　这个没有提及，所以不对!

　　C选项错误。

　　D. the pandemic have yet not increased drug overdoes.

　　疫情还没有增加药物滥用。

　　重要区分：

　　(1) Scientists have yet to find the solution.

　　还没有(科学家还没找到解决方法，即我们希望他们快点确定。)

　　(2) Scientists have not yet come to the place.

　　没能(科学家们还没有到这个地方。一般陈述。)

　　(都是否定就是有一个有情绪，一个没有情绪。)

　　D选项错误。
