Answer 1

分析 本文叙述了吸烟的人成瘾的原因以及吸烟的害处．香烟里有一种叫作尼古丁的毒．许多人刚开始吸烟，感到难受，过了一些日子他们就习惯了尼古丁．然后离不开它了．吸烟容易引起癌症和心脏病．但是戒烟很难，很多人戒了烟不久有吸起来了．

解答 31--35 BDEAF
31．B 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据本段中I tried to quit smoking in my hometown，but it was impossible．和Here in the United States，not as many people smoke可知，Ali因为家乡的人都吸烟，所以戒烟是不可能的，比较一下，在美国，吸烟的人没那么多，空格处应是：这儿戒烟要容易．故选B．
32．D 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文They know it can cause cancer and heart disease可知，他们知道吸烟能产生癌症和心脏病，上文应是：吸烟的人知道吸烟有害健康．故选D．
33．E 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文The nicotine makes him sick可知，尼古丁使人恶心，上文应是：第一次吸烟让人感到难受．故选E．
34．A 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文Many people who quit will soon smoke again可知，戒了烟的人不久很快又开始吸烟，上文应是：戒烟很难．故选A．
35．F 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据前文Soon they become smokers again可知，他们成为烟民后，没有有效的戒烟方法，下文应是：最好的方法就是一开始就不吸烟．故选F．

点评 七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力，有必要进行专门练习．首先，快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置．其次，快速浏览文章，确定文章体裁，抓住文章结构，分析篇章结构，找出各段的主题句或主旨大意．其三，注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段，寻找句中衔接标志词，七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项，会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰，这时要特别细致地比对相似选项．最后，用代入法，检查答案是否合理，将所有选择答案放回空白处，通读全文，检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确．
