Question

Wang Bing’s father began smoking when he was a freshman ( 大学一年级学生)in college. His friend passed him his first cigarette. He has now been smoking for more than 30 years.

It’s a classic example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes, except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age.

It has become a major concern(担忧) in China that many teenagers begin to smoke. A survey showed that 22.5% of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8% of them smoked regularly.

For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟) and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen.

The social environment also plays an important role in attracting teenagers to smoking. They are used to seeing their elders, especially male family members, smoking at home. Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers.

To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have limited money to spend on them.

Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that 92.5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we persuade them in a proper way, most of them may give up smoking.

All in all, the society, the government, the school and the family should join together to take the responsibility for an anti-smoking (禁烟) campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans and warnings on cigarette packs.

3.What does the word ”imitate”in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?

A．指责

4.From the underlined part of the last sentence of this passage, we can infer(推断) that the writer thinks putting slogans and warnings on cigarette packs is ______to solve the problem.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.B

2.D

3.C

4.A

【解析】短文属于议论文。针对青少年吸烟这一严重的问题，作者剖析了原因及解决方案，并倡议全民行动起来，反对青少年吸烟。

1.细节理解题。第一段是个实例，为了引出后面的话题。因为后面就要谈这个普遍的问题。

2.主旨大意题。本文所谈的是青少年吸烟成为中国严重的问题。从第三段也可看出。

3.词义猜测题。通过上两句的叙述“They are used to seeing…smoking”可知，吸烟的成年人为孩子提供了“学吸烟”的环境，之后成为烟民。跟大人学吸烟最恰当的词是“模仿”。

4.推理判断题。从最后一段可知，针对青少年禁烟运动，作者提倡社会、政府、学校和家庭应共同承担责任。通过“not just to put…”可知在烟盒上放标语警示远远不够。
