Question

Wang Bing’s father began smoking when he was a freshman ( 大學一年級學生)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(擔憂) 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 (禁煙) campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans and warnings on cigarette packs.

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

4.A

【解析】短文屬于議論文。針對青少年吸煙這一嚴重的問題，作者剖析了原因及解決方案，并倡議全民行動起來，反對青少年吸煙。

1.細節理解題。第一段是個實例，為了引出后面的話題。因為后面就要談這個普遍的問題。

2.主旨大意題。本文所談的是青少年吸煙成為中國嚴重的問題。從第三段也可看出。

3.詞義猜測題。通過上兩句的敘述“They are used to seeing…smoking”可知，吸煙的成年人為孩子提供了“學吸煙”的環境，之后成為煙民。跟大人學吸煙最恰當的詞是“模仿”。

4.推理判斷題。從最后一段可知，針對青少年禁煙運動，作者提倡社會、政府、學校和家庭應共同承擔責任。通過“not just to put…”可知在煙盒上放標語警示遠遠不夠。
