Question

【題目】

Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles(車輛)and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011.Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.

First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被動(dòng))smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe(呼吸) in the smoke and suffer from(受苦，患病) the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled(控制).

Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.

Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.

Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生產(chǎn)率).Employees(雇員)who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.

If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.

文章大意：這是一篇健康環(huán)保類閱讀，講的是在2011年中國開始在一些公共場所禁止吸煙，詳細(xì)的說明了禁止吸煙的重要性，及其帶來的一些好處。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned in China since January 2011. 自從2011年1月起，中國禁止在室內(nèi)公共場所吸煙，包括公共工作場所、公共交通工具和一些特殊的室外工作場所。B醫(yī)院、C圖書館、D餐廳，都屬于公共場所，而A選項(xiàng)“田地”則不屬于禁煙區(qū)，故答案選A。

【2】段意歸納題。根據(jù)第二段第一行句子First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive smokers. 首先，禁止吸煙不僅可以幫助吸煙者避免健康問題和疾病，而且對被動(dòng)吸煙者也有好處�？芍�第二段主要是想告訴我們禁止吸煙對主動(dòng)吸煙者和被動(dòng)吸煙者都有好處，故答案選D。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily.當(dāng)青少年看到周圍的人們吸煙時(shí)，他們將會模仿。結(jié)合Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents.可以判斷本句句意為公共場合吸煙會影響那些不抽煙的人開始吸煙，尤其是青少年。所以adolescents指的是青少年，故答案選D。
