China's smokers account for a third of the world's total. There is a Chinese antismoking campaigner. He has devoted his efforts to helping people kick the habit.
Zhang Yue, who lives in central China's city of Luoyang, has been travelling the nation to end the smoking. Antismoking campaigner Zhang Yue said, “I've discovered the social reasons why people smoke. They think that smoking is really good and that it is a cool, fashionable thing to do. By my actions, I can change such thoughts. Smoke is just waste, produced from burning matters.”
Zhang's preferred method is to wander on the streets, giving smokers his name card and a very thin book before removing their cigarettes. He gets close to smokers in public areas, restaurants and bars day and night, spreading his message.
Smoker Ms Li said, “It's because of heavy pressure at work that I've started smoking. That man, Zhang Yue, his views are all very good but I think his methods are a bit too rude.”
According to China's Ministry of Health, smoking is becoming more popular among China's female population, while 60% of China's male population in the cities smoke, with figures expected to be even higher in rural areas.
Smoker Zhong Weibing said, “Smoking is also a kind of culture. And it's been going on for such a long time, so it cannot all be suddenly stopped.”
The Chinese government has tried to control smoking by imposing bans in taxis, schools and hospitals. Smoking is believed to kill an estimated one million people through tobaccorelated diseases across the world each year.
语篇大意：本文讲述了一位反吸烟运动者反对吸烟、帮助人们戒烟的一些活动，并介绍了几个吸烟者以及政府对待吸烟的态度。
1．What does the underlined phrase “account for” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Cause. B．Explain.
C．Be responsible for. D．Make up.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。由画线短语所在句的主语“中国的烟民”和account for 的宾语“世界总量的三分之一”可推断account for意为“占(一定数量或比例)”。make up意为“构成”，与account for同义，故D项正确。

A. Zhang Yue thinks that smoking is really good and that it is a cool, fashionable thing to do.
B．There are more female smokers than male smokers.
C．In total, 60% of China's male population smoke.
D．Smoker Ms Li started smoking because of heavy pressure at work.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句Smoker Ms Li said，“It's because of heavy pressure at work that I've started smoking.”可知，李女士开始吸烟是因为工作压力太大，故D项正确。其他三项均不符合题目要求。
3．What is the Smoker Zhong Weibing's attitude towards smoking?
A．Indifferent. B．Sensible.
C．Addicted. D．Opposed.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段Smoker Zhong Weibing said，“Smoking is also a kind of culture. And it's been going on for such a long time，so it cannot all be suddenly stopped.”可知，这个人对待吸烟的问题是很理智的。indifferent意为“漠不关心的”；sensible意为“理智的”；addicted意为“上瘾的”；opposed意为“反对的”。故B项正确。
