[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。很少有人愿意改变自己的习惯，无 论是好是坏，他们宁愿一直保持下去。虽然人们都了解吸烟的危害， 但事实证明，家庭和环境对他们的影响更大。因此，了解和相信吸烟 的危害似乎是两码事。如果吸烟真的如医生所说的那样危害身体，吸 烟者的确应该考虑戒烟了！

1. B无论是吸烟、喝酒或者暴食，人们都会保持到最后。stop停止; continue继续;finish完成;avoid避免。由句中的to the end可知应选B项。

2. D在每个烟盒上都有警告，告诫人们吸烟的危害。chance机会;excuse 借口; cause 原因;danger 危害。由下文 Warning: Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health 可知，应选，D 项。

3. C虽然人们被警告吸烟有害健康，然而仍有数百万人在吸烟。moreover 而且 ，此夕卜； also 而且; otherwise 否则， 要不然； however 然而 ，故 选C项。

4. A 根据下文 All those smokers come from smoking families or h往ve smoking...可知，家庭和环境会对吸烟者产生很大的影响。explain解 释;improve改善;describe描述;influence影响，故选A项。

5. D承接上句，家庭和环境会对吸烟者产生很大的影响。parents,uncles,brotherS均属家人或亲戚;friends属于周围的环境，故选D项。

6. C人们在电视上看到他们的“英雄们”喝酒或吸烟。hear听见; catch抓住;face面对;watch观看，故选C项。

7. B 由下文 neither killing themselves nor killing others with alcohol and cigarettes.可知，银幕上的“英雄们”无所畏惧。故选B项。

8. D要是银幕上的“英雄们”不害怕吸烟和喝酒的危害，普通人为什 么要害怕呢？故选D项。

9. A烟盒上简单的警告不能影响吸烟者的习惯，甚至更有力的警告 似乎都无济于事。此处stronger warnings指的是更有力的警告。故 选A项。

10. C人们了解吸烟的危害和相信这个观点似乎是两码事。similar 相似的;pleasant令人愉快的;boring无聊的;different不同的，故选 C项。
