Cambridge, best known as the affluent university town crammed with leading academics, intellectuals and some of the nation’s brightest students, has been awarded a rather less enviable accolade -- the smoking capital of Britain. The typical household in Cambridge spends a staggering £2,183 on tobacco every year- the equivalent to smoking 25 cigarettes a day. By contrast, Bracknell, in Berkshire, is the most abstemious. There, households spend a mere £183 a year on tobacco, smoking an average of just two cigarettes a day.
The figures are contained in a report, published this week, which examines spending habits by postcode across the UK. Why Cambridge should top such an unhealthy league table has baffled researchers. As John Reid, the Secretary of State for Health, tried to explain last week, smoking is the addiction of choice for Britain’s working classes and highest consumption is usually found in the poorest areas of the country -- three suburbs of Liverpool make the top 10. Students may be one answer to Cambridge’s position -- as anybody who has entered the university’s myriad common rooms and student bars and witnessed the dense fug of smoke may attest.
Patrick Tate, principal researcher at CACI, the company behind the findings, said, "It is a weird anomaly. It doesn’t tell us why it is happening but perhaps it is to do with the number of students."
选项
A、Students in Cambridge tend to be heavy smokers.
B、Students in Cambridge are poor.
C、Students in Cambridge smoke a lot.
D、Smoking can help people to concentrate.
答案
C
解析
事实细节的找寻和判断。根据原文Students may be one answer to Cambridge’s position——as anybody who has entered the university’s myriad common rooms and student bars and witnessed the dense fug of smoke may attest可知剑桥吸烟量名列前茅的原因也许是学生,只要你走进任何一间学校餐厅或学生酒吧就会被浓重的烟雾所包围。由此可见C项内容与原文相符,该项为正确答案。
