英语等级考试pets3阅读练习 1

Part B

Directions:

Read the following article in which five people talk about smoking. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Richard:

In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I cant help saying inwardlv: Hello, cigarette, mv old friend. Im coming to meet you again

Stanton:

Many people believe smokers have the fight to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldnt have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. Were talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if youre talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, its 100 times greater.

Davis:

According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. Thats 3,000 lung cancer deaths,11,000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120,000.

James :

Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agencys indoor air programs result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. Weve seen that again and again wherever weve looked all over the United States.

Winston:

Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations.

Now match each of the items(36 to 40)to the appropriate statement

Note: There are two extra statements.

Statements

36. Richard A. Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death.

37. Stanton B. Smokers have the fight to smoke.

38. Davis C. Smoking produces some positive effects in some complex situations.

39. James D. Second-hand smoke is more harmful to non-smokers than those cancer inducing air pollutants

40. Winston

E. Cigarette pollution has caused outdoor environment even worse.

F. Smoking can help people get rid of nervousness.

G. Smoking is also an environmental issue.

当这个人已经几乎看不见了的时候，法国人突然发现他的表丢了。他觉得肯定是这个意大利人偷了他的表。他决定跟踪他，把表拿回来。

答案及解析

61.A【解析】答案在第一自然段第二句。一天晚上，他独自出门了。

62.C【解析】答案在第一自然段。根据上下文，那个意大利年轻人几乎走得看不见了，这时，法国人发现他的表没有了。他想一定是意大利人偷了他的表，所以他决定跟着那位年轻人，把表要回来。

63.B【解析】答案在第二自然段。根据上下文，法国人赶上那个年轻人后，向他挥拳头，并指着他的表。最后，年轻人把表脱下来给了他。根据句意，法国人应是“吓唬、恐吓”那个年轻人，frighten应是动词。threat为名词，terrify意为“使恐惧，使惊恐;恐吓”，happy是形容词。
