(5)The Australian state of Tasmania is considering raising the legal age for buying cigarettes to at least 21 and potentially as high as 25. If the plan goes ahead it will give Tasmania some of the toughest tobacco laws in the world. The current legal age to purchase, possess or smoke cigarettes in all Australian states is 18. Critics have complained the proposed restrictions would be a violation of civil liberties. Australia already has some of the world’s toughest anti-smoking policies. It introduced so-called plain packaging four years ago,(6)where packs are coloured an identical olive brown and are covered in health warnings that include pictures. The country is also one of the most expensive places in the world to buy cigarettes—from around $15 a pack.
    Parts of the world already ban cigarette sales to those under 21, including Kuwait and, from next year, Hawaii. Around one-in-five Tasmanians smoke, with the vast majority taking up the habit before the age of 25.(7)The Tasmanian government proposals are part of a five-year plan to make the state Australia’s healthiest by 2025.
5. What does the state of Tasmania plan to do?
6. According to plain packaging, what should be included in the packs of cigarette?
7. What’s the purpose of the Tasmanian government proposals?

选项 A、Details of anti-smoking policies.
B、Pictures with olive trees.
C、Health warnings including pictures.
D、Data of cigarette sales worldwide.

答案 C

解析 新闻中提到,澳大利亚四年前推行了所谓的plain packaging政策,要求包装上统一用橄榄褐色,还要有健康警示的图示(health warnings that include pictures),C与此一致,为答案。B出现关键词olive,但新闻是说包装的颜色是olive brown“橄榄褐色”,而非真的是印上olive trees“橄榄树”。
