答案
小题1:A
小题2:E
小题3:D
小题4:B
小题5:G
解析
试题分析:文章大意:本文叙述了吸烟的人成瘾的原因以及吸烟的害处。香烟里有一种叫作尼古丁的毒。许多人刚开始吸烟,感到难受,过了一些日子他们就习惯了尼古丁。然后离不开它了。吸烟容易引起癌症和心脏病。但是戒烟很难,很多人戒了烟不久有吸起来了。
小题1:根据第一段的I tried to quit (放弃) smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible.和Here in the United States, not as many people smoke.可知Ali因为家乡的人都吸烟,所以戒烟是不可能的,比较一下,在美国,吸烟的人没那么多,因此可以推测此处要说戒烟要容易。故选A。
小题2:根据第二段的They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. 可知吸烟的人知道吸烟有害健康。故选E。
小题3:根据第三段的这些时间短语 In a few days, Later,可知暗示将按来描述,所以此处应是刚开始(first)。故选D。
小题4:根据最后一段的Many people who quit will soon smoke again.可知戒了烟的人不久很快又开始吸烟,因此此处要说戒烟很难。故选B。
小题5:根据最后一段的Soon they become smokers again. 可知他们有成为烟民,没有有效的戒烟方法,因此说,最好的方法就是一开始就不吸烟。故选G。

Talking to friends on WeChat, Wang Chenchen’s mood changes according to her friends’ replies. Long sentences are always heartwarming and happy emoticons indicate the other person’s good spirits. But one word replies like “OK”, “Oh” or “hehe” quickly kill the mood.
Over-reliance on online communication is causing division between people and social anxiety in this digital era. With social media bringing people closer together than ever before, a new set of online language norms also appears.
Connected or separated
Wang Chenchen, 20, an English major at the University of International Business and Economics says, “I tend to judge my friends by the quality and speed with which they comment on my updates on Weibo or WeChat.”
But to Chen Jie, 21, a biological engineering major at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wang’s evaluation system is problematic. “Everyone has their lifestyle and a certain way of using social media,” says Chen, who is always busy working in the laboratory and hardly has time for social media.
Ge Yan, a professor of communication at Shanghai Jiaotong University, says social media is causing fragmentation (碎片化) of communication. “People tend to judge their surroundings by the information available,” says Ge. “They also evaluate their friendships and others’ lifestyles based on fragmented pieces of information with which they construct a so-called reality.”
Need for emotion
According to Ge, such superficial communication helps encourage more interaction between people, but in terms of building solid interpersonal relationships it causes more harm than good. An online survey on Sina Weibo last month shows, “hehe” was the top conversation killer in 2013. “The words people hate all have one thing in common — a lack of emotion,” says Ge.
Zhang Wei, a professor of linguistics at Renmin University of China, thinks that such short expressions carry so little emotion that they separate people. Chatting online cannot convey the same emotions as communication in real life. This makes it difficult to understand the other person’s true intentions. “That’s why I always suggest talking face to face to resolve problems,” says Zhang. “Unfortunately the reality is that most people spend less time talking to each other in this way.”
Anxiety and insecurity
Zhang further explains that the reason why people’s mood is strongly affected by such unemotional words when communicating online is rooted in social anxiety. People feel insecure because of all kinds of pressures. It’s like a vicious circle — “Less time for face-to-face communication leads to more online communication, but online expressions of emotion are too changeable to provide the comfort needed,” says Zhang. “As a result, people become more anxious.”
