问题     The benefits of quitting smoking—reduced risk of cancer and many other health problems—are known. But for millions of smokers, the【S1】______effect of a cigarette can be reason enough to start up again.
    Studies have found, however, that in reality, lighting up has the【S2】______effect, causing long-term stress levels to rise, not fall. For those dependent on smoking, the only stress it【S3】______is the withdrawal between cigarettes.

At the start, the subjects had similar levels of stress and generally believed that smoking helped them to cope. A year later, 41% had managed to stay abstinent (节制的).

    The scientists’【S8】______was that the continuing smokers were dealing with uncomfortable cravings (渴望 ) between cigarettes multiple times a day, while the abstainers, after facing some initial withdrawal, had greater freedom from nicotine cravings and thus had【S9】______a frequent and significant source of stress. Other studies have also found that smokers experience higher levels of stress and【S10】______between cigarettes and lower levels over all when they quit.

E) significantly J) causes O) dominantly
【S7】
选项
答案E
解析 副词辨析题。此处应填入副词修饰形容词比较级larger，结合下文提到的larger和a 20％ drop可知，这些戒烟者的变化很大，故significantly“显著地，很大地”符合句意。
