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, 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. 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、Violate the civil liberties in Australia
B、Increase the legal age to buy cigarettes.
C、Introduce a plan called plain packaging.
D、Raise the price of cigarettes in Australia
答案
B
解析
新闻开头说澳大利亚的塔斯马尼亚州(state of Tasmania)正在考虑提高合法购买香烟的年龄(raising the legal age for buying cigarettes),最低年龄至少是21岁,有可能达25岁。B中的increase与raise同义,所述与原文一致,故为答案。A“侵犯人权”是批评者对州政府此举的看法,并非政府的初衷。C中的plain packaging是澳大利亚四年前实施的政策,与题目所问无关。要提高的是“买烟的年龄”,而非“香烟的价格”,D错误。
