答案

小题1:B小题2:D小题3:D小题4:C小题5:B

解析

烟草是造成疾病和早亡的“罪魁祸首”，而由此引起的疾病和早亡本来是可以避免的。但吸烟者和一些准备开始吸烟的人对烟草可能带来的危害并不十分了解，他们中不少人只笼统知道“吸烟有害健康”。小题1:主旨大意题。本文属新闻报道类，第一段交代了文章的中心，欧盟号召成员国采取一些宣传吸烟有害健康的照片，以此来警示吸烟者。小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句“The true fact of smoking is dia, death and horror.可知应选D。小题3:推理判断题。分析文章的信息，我们可以得出结论，文章介绍的一种新措施仅仅还是一个设想，还没有付诸实施，因此断定欧盟国家仍旧沿用旧的警示方式。小题4:细节理解题。文章倒数第二段说明加拿大因为采取了类似的警示措施，吸烟人数有所下降。Canada has ud similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently en a fall in the number of smokers.小题5:语意理解题。本句的意思是：在欧盟，吸烟是唯一能够避免的造成死亡的最重要的原因。即：吸烟造成的死亡本来可以避免。
