Although the statistics show the number of teens using tobacco has started to decline from record highs in 1997, experts say the numbers are still disturbing given that nearly 90 percent of adult smokers began using tobacco at or before the age of 18. We want to emphasize, while cigarettes are the most lethal form of tobacco, adolescents (青少年) are using many forms of tobacco, and potentially becoming addicted (成瘾) to nicotine (尼古丁) from many sources, said Terry Pechacek, head of the survey team and associate director for science with the CDC Office on Smoking and Health. According to the survey, most middle and high school smokers get their tobacco at gas stations and convenience stores. While the legal age to buy tobacco is 18 throughout most of the United States, the survey shows current laws to be ineffective. Approximately 69 percent of middle school students and 58 percent of high school students reported they were not asked for proof of age when purchasing cigarettes. Although the tobacco industry has altered its advertising, ads still lure teens into buying tobacco products, Pechacek said. Tobacco companies voluntarily stopped outdoor billboards (广告牌), but have taken these advertising dollars and put them into local convenience stores, he said. The study also found one of the major predictors of tobacco use to be whether teens spend time with other people who smoke. In the week before the survey, half of the nonsmokers were in a room with someone smoking, and approximately 70 percent of middle school students and 57 percent of high school students who smoke live in a home with a smoker. Experts believe that more education about tobacco in schools could counteract (对抗) the bad influences these students face at home. 1.Figures provided in the second paragraph indicate that _.A. most kids between the ages of 12 and 17 are using tobacco productsB. there are more teens using tobacco since 1997C. smokers tend to begin smoking when they were very youngD. laws are designed to keep cigarettes away from kids before the age of 182.According to Terry Pechacek, teenagers using tobacco _.A. are likely to take drugsB. like using cigarettesC. tend to quit smoking after age of 18D. like trying different forms of tobacco3.Most teenage smokers buy tobacco at gas stations and convenience stores, because _.A. cigarettes there are cheaper than those at any other placeB. people there usually dont ask them to prove they have reached legal ageC. there are more types of cigarettes there than other placesD. people there put up cigarettes advertisements on the wall4.The word lure (Para. 6) most probably means _.A. temptB. persuadeC. forceD. talk5.According to what Pechacek said, which of the following factors may NOT influence teenagers using tobacco products?A. Advertisement.B. Family.C. School education.D. Government.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Choosing a travel companion is at least as uncertain as choosing a marriage partner. The chances of success are perhaps even less. No law of causality (因果关系) exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But its not unlikely. The odds depend on the length and the rigorousness (严密) of the trip. Some friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束，终止). Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. Ill confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing ones goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone. Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel. 6.Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because _.A. one may lose a friendB. one may suffer financial lossesC. one may be trapped in the dangerous situationD. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriage partner7.When intimate friends travel together, _.A. the trip will hasten their dissolutionB. the trip will make them closer to each otherC. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to their relationshipD. they will make more friends on trip8.It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talked about here is the person _.A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship withB. one can travel with merely for companyC. one can count on for a free travelD. one can learn much from9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Choosing a travel companion wont lead to the loss of friends.B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.D. Like-minded people should travel together.10.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar ExperiencesB. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky MatterC. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?D. Should One Travel Alone or in Anothers Company?Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful (可怕的) silence. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) of a fly, but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas. It is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating (使人恼怒的) as the continuous ping (砰声) of a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute (哑巴). Most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the mind. He would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors. Those who despise (看不起) the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allow
