高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

SOME teenagers take up smoking during the holidays either because they become "rich" enough to afford a pack of cigarettes or they think they look "cool". Everyone knows that "smoking is bad for you", but do smokers really know what the health warnings mean to them?

Smoking, the world's second leading cause of preventable death, kills 4.9 million people a year, the United Nations said on February 27. The world has about l.2 billion smokers and World Health Organization surveys show that about 20 per cent of them are children aged between 13 and 15 years old.

On the same day, a global treaty(公约) aimed at encouraging children not to smoke and help people kick the habit came into force. This is the first worldwide agreement on a public health issue. It will see strong warnings added to cigarette packets and a ban on all tobacco advertising.

Young smokers may think little of the health effects of smoking. But smoking can stop them from making friends, as most non-smokers don't like being around smokers.

"I feel sick when I see people of my age smoke. Smokers make themselves look less educated ," said Shi Qingyu, a Senior 3 student at Luanxian No 1 High School in Hebei Province. Once while on a bus, he asked a girl who was smoking next to him to put out her cigarette.

For Wang Gezhu, a Senior l　 girl from Wuxi Furen High School in Jiangsu Province,boys who smoke are less attractive.

"Boys that smoke may think they are cool or impressive, but I think they look weird(怪异的) compared to other ordinary students in my eyes. They only do what others won't risk doing," Wang said.

Every one wants to impress others, but there are ways to show off other than smoking.

On February 26, around 200 students from across the country gathered in Beijing to be awarded for their outstanding performance in the 2004 "Sunflower Cup". The programme included several contests in writing, calligraphy (书法), drawing and painting. It aimed to encourage students to take part in meaningful activities so that they could spend their free time developing healthy habits and hobbies.

"Teenagers are energetic and quick to learn, both good and bad things. For the sake of their own health, teenagers should learn to say no to their first cigarette because life as a smoker is a life of addiction. You can't quit," said Wang Zhengqi, deputy　 secretary-general (副秘书长) of the Chinese Association on Smoking and Health.

1.How does the writer give us the health warnings of smoking in paragraph 2?

A. By listing examples.　　　　　　　　　　　 B. By telling stories

C. By offering data.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. By persuading us.

2.Smoking can affect the young from the following aspects(万面) except____.

A. Smoking will do harm to their health

B. Smoking can make them cool

C. Smoking will stop them from making friends

D. Smoking make them look less educated

3.From what the students said in paragraph 5-7, we can learn that

A. Young smokers want others to pay attention to them

B. None of the students like young smokers

C. Young smokers usually smoke on the bus

D. Young smokers are very brave.

4.From the passage. what does the author want to say?

A. Don't make friends with young smokers.

B. Young smokers, drop off your cigarettes !

C. The young smoke because they have enough money.

D. Meaningful activities are the only ways to prevent the young from smoking.

Pressure too much?

In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(铁饭碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.

People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.

But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.

Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.

If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.

1.Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.

A. they will lose their jobs

B. most of them find less interest in their work

C. they can make more money after work.

D. they want to stay at home.

2.Which of the following is WRONG in the writer’s opinion?

A. Where there is work there is pressure.

B. Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden.

C. All modern men are worried and low in spirit.

D. A certain amount of pressure is necessary.

3.From the text we can know that when pressure is too big, ________.

A. we should drink coffee with our friends

B. we can get help and comfort from our friends or families.

C. we can go home because it is warm

D. to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way.

If practicing an attitude of gratitude (感激) during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.

For example:

You’re in debt ... but you’re not homeless.

You lost your job ... but you didn’t lose your health.

You broke your leg … but you didn’t break your neck.

Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease ... but your father doesn’t.

No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything — but you can always be thankful for something.
