解答 BDEAF
36.B 上下文理解.根据前几句可知阿里认为他戒不烟是因为身边的人都在抽烟,但是前一句说美国吸烟的人不多,那么应该容易戒烟了,故选B.
37.D上下文理解. 根据后一句They know it can cause cancer and heart disease.可知他们知道抽烟会引起癌症和心脏病,即抽烟对身体是有害的,应该选D.
38.E概括总结. 根据后面的The nicotine makes him sick,可知刚刚开始抽烟的人感觉并不好,故选E.
39.A上下文理解. 根据后一句Many people who quit will soon smoke again,很多戒烟的很快又开始抽烟,说明了戒烟很难,故选A.
40.F概括总结. 根据这一段可知戒烟很难,所以最容易的方法就是不要开始抽烟!故选F.
