The municipality could try extending the smoking bans to homes.

参考答案

参考解析
解析:
事实细节题。文章末尾一段第五句意思是也许国家或市政府可以尝试将禁令的有效范围扩展到家中,所以B正确。第三、四句意思是,为什么不尝试一些更严厉的禁烟令?有些地区已经限制和孩子在一起的父母在车内抽烟,但是还未看到评估这些措施的报告。这显示出作者希望尝试一些更为严厉的禁烟令,所以A错误。第七句谈到,我们可能会决定在某种程度上抽烟是否仍是个人选择,所以C错误。本段最后一句指出因为没有吸烟者,可能在几代人之后不需要禁烟了,所以D也是错误的。正确答案为B。

考题 In has been shown that children who smoke have certain characteristics.Compared with non-smokers they are more rebellious, their work deteriorates as they move up school, they are more likely to leave school early, and are more often delinquent and sexually precocious.Many of these features can be summarized as anticipation of adulthood.There are a number of factors which determine the onset of smoking, and these are largely psychological and social.They include availability of cigarettes, curiosity, rebelliousness, appearing tough, anticipation of adulthood, social confidence, the example of parents and teachers, and smoking by friends and older brothers and sisters.It should be much easier to prevent children from starting to smoke than to persuade adults to give up the habit once established, but in fact this has proved very difficult.The example set by people in authority, especially parents, health care workers, and teachers, is of prime importance.School rules should forbid smoking by children on the premises.This rule has been introduced at Summerhill School where I spent my schooldays.There is, however, a risk of children smoking just to rebel against the rules, and even in those schools which have tried to enforce no smoking by corporal punishment there is as much smoking as in other schools.Nevertheless, banning smoking is probably on balance beneficial.Teachers too should not smoke on school premises, at least not in front of children1、Which of the following is a common characteristic of young smokers?A、DisobedienceB、LazinessC、Lack of intelligenceD、Vanity2、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A、Some children start to smoke out of curiosityB、Many children start to smoke because they want to appear mature.C、In order to have fewer children smokers, parents, teachers and health care workers should not smoke.D、It is not as difficult to prevent children from starting to smoke as to dissuade adults from smoking.3、The writer concludes that school rules to forbid smoking().A、should be introduced, for it really works at the school where he once studied.B、should not be introduced, for it may cause disturbance.C、should be introduced though it may not work effectively.D、needn't be introduced as long as teachers don't smoke in front of children.4、The author's attitude towards his writing is().A、objectiveB、emotionalC、criticalD、indifferent

考题 People have smoked cigarettes for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe. In the late 1800s, the Turks made cigarettes popular. Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco bums, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate. Nicotine in large can kill a person by stopping a person′s breathing muscles. Smokers usually take in small amounts that the body can quickly break down. Nicotine can make new smokers feel dizzy (头晕) or sick to their stomachs. The heart rate for young smokers increases 2 to 3 beats per minute. Nicotine also lowers skin temperature and reduces blood flow in the legs and feet. It plays an important role in increasing smokers′ risk of heart disease and stroke. Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. Cigarette smoking was the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A.To tell us the bad effects caused by smoking cigarettes. B.To introduce the history of smoking. C.To let us know what the cigarettes are made from. D.To tell the readers that Columbus found the Indians smoking.

The first group of 8,704 adolescents were not depressed,and might or might not have been smokers,while the second group of 6,947 were highly depressed and had not been smokers in the past month.After a year her team found that although depressed teenagers were more likely to have become heavy smokers,previous experimentation with smoking was the strongest predictor of such behaviour,not the depression itself. What is more important is that teenagers who started out mentally fit but smoked at least one packet per week during the study were four times more likely to develop depression than their non一smoking peers.Goodman says that depression does not seem to start before cigarette use among teens."Current cigarette use is,however,a powerful determinant of developing high depressive symptoms."9.Breslau,too,finds that smokers are as much as four times more likely to have an isolated panic attack and three times more likely to develop longer-term panic disorder than non-smokers.It's a hard message to get across,because many smokers say they become anxious when they quit,not when they smoke.But Breslau says thatThe cigarette ads which claim that smoking can help soothe anxiety_______.A:have been proved to be misleadingB:but to their mental health as wellC:taking up smokingD:involved fewer peopleE:they started to smoke at an early ageF: but their level of anxiety increases when they quit smoking

考题 问答题Smoking bans in public places are becoming more and more common in China. Whether the right of the non-smoker to breathe in fresh air outweighs that of the smoker to smoke freely is a matter of opinion, manifesting itself in a heated smoking ban debate. The following are opinions from both sides on this issue. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides, and then  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.  A smoking ban is a public policy that includes criminal laws and health regulations that prohibit smoking in certain public places and workspaces. There are many reasons why smoking bans originated, but most of these have medical origins. Research has shown secondhand smoke is almost as harmful as smoking in and of itself. The effects of secondhand smoke are relatively the same as smoking. Lung disease, heart disease, bronchitis and asthma are common. Those who live in homes with smokers have a 20-30 percent higher risk of developing lung cancer than those who do not live with a smoker.  Smoking bans are also imposed because they improve air quality in restaurants and other establishments. In Beijing, it is now illegal to smoke in all hospitality venues. Studies have also shown employees are exposed to far fewer toxins in areas where smoking is banned in the workplace.  Despite the positive effects on health and air quality, many people are still opposed to smoking bans in China. Critics oppose smoking bans and see these laws as an example of the government interfering in people’s lives. They look at the effects on smokers, not those on non-smokers who are subjected to second-hand smoke. Other critics emphasize the rights of the property owner and draw distinctions between public places, such as government building and privately owned businesses, such as stores and restaurants.  Some critics of smoking bans believe that outlawing smoking in the workplace may cause smokers to simply move their smoking elsewhere. Instead of smoking indoors, workers may begin smoking in public parks and exposing a new set of people to their secondhand smoke.
