"If it were【C1】________up to me, I would raise the cigarette tax so high that the revenues from it would go to zero," thundered Michael Bloomberg back in 2002. New York City’s combative mayor has since raised cigarette taxes several times. The effect has been【C2】________, so he wants to try something new. He recently proposed to outlaw discounting cigarettes and【C3】________them openly in stores.
A second paper provides ammunition (弹药) to those sceptical of higher cigarette taxes as a way of discouraging smoking. John Cawley of Cornell University and Stephanie von Scholder of York University looked at how【C4】________young American smokers are to higher cigarette prices. Not very, it【C5】________out. That is because a big share—46% of teenage girls and 30% of teenage boys—do not smoke for【C6】________, but to stay thin or lose weight.
That may not be healthy, but it is rational: cigarettes appear to【C7】________the appetite and increase the metabolic rate (代谢速率). At any rate a【C8】________to lose weight makes young smokers much less sensitive to price changes: other ways of shedding pounds, such as eating less or exercising more, are less appealing.
The【C9】________may not do much to stop already illicit smoking by young people. Luckily, the study also opens up a new line of attack: convincing smokers that they are in fact not overweight. Judged by their body-mass index, a way of measuring whether people are under-or overweight, many girls (but not boys) who smoked to get thinner were of perfectly【C10】________weight.
A) bans E) limited I) senseless M) totally
B) desire F) normal J) sensitive N) turns
C) displaying G) obvious K) suppress O) wealth
D) frequently H) pleasure L) takes [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
F
解析
形容词辨义题。根据空格前的perfectly和空格后的weight可判断此处应填入一个形容词。备选形容词中能够修饰weight的只有normal一词,normal意为“正常的”,符合此处语境,故选F。
