M: Yael, what’s that in your hand?
W: Come on, Don. Haven’t you seen a cigarette before? Every day in the United States, about 1500 girls begin smoking, so I decided to have a try.
M:(13)But Yael, don’t you know that tobacco kills more than 140,000 women each year?
W: Yeah, but that’s why I smoke a brand with low nicotine and tar content.
M: Although tobacco companies advertise some cigarettes as "light", this is just an advertising ploy to obscure the risks associated with smoking—(14)smoking a light cigarette is just as risky as smoking a regular one. In fact, research shows that people who smoke light cigarettes actually smoke differently in order to get higher levels of nicotine.
W: I didn’t know that.
M: The one thing you can say about tobacco companies is that they are really savvy about marketing. While tobacco ads that target men focus on cigarettes as manly or cool, tobacco ads that target women focus on social and political themes important to women. For example, ads will say that you’ve come a long way, or that you’ve found your voice, or encourage you to just be yourself,(15)as if smoking has anything to do with progress and self-expression. Young women are especially vulnerable to these ads because addiction, disease, and premature death seem so remote to them. And the thing is, people who have smoked as few as one hundred cigarettes report having difficulty quitting.
W: So, Don, can you pass me that ashtray?
M: With pleasure, Yael, as long as you put it out.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
13. What is the dialogue main about?
14. According to the dialogue, which of the following is true?
15. What make young girls start to smoke?
选项
A、Smoking kills about 140,000 people every year.
B、There are over 1500 girls starting to smoke every year in the world.
C、Light cigarette is as bad as the regular one.
D、Light cigarette is suitable for girls to smoke.
答案
C
解析
细节题。这个对话中,注意几个数字都是有限定对象的,140000是烟杀死女士的数目,而不是笼统地说人的数目。1500个女孩是限定美国的数量而不是世界的总数。因此这两个选项都是错误的。对话中,女士提到了她吸的是“light cigarette”即尼古丁和焦油都很少的烟。但是男士指出这只不过是商家广告的误导,其实smoking a light cigarette is just as risky as smoking aregular one,吸这种烟和普通烟的危害一样。故选C。
