问题     Many countries will not allow cigarette advertising in their newspaper or on TV — especially【C1】______the advertisements are usually written with young people in mind.【C2】______advertising, the tobacco companies have begun to【C3】______sports events. They give money to football, motor racing, tennis and a number of【C4】______sports【C5】______condition that the name of the cigarette is【C6】______. This is now【C7】______concern, because it does exactly what many【C8】______try to do — suggest that smoking has some connection【C9】______being strong and athletic.

【C12】
选项 A、damaging
B、spoiling
C、decaying
D、destroying
答案B
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。spoil“损坏，糟蹋”，指降低了原有的质量或把事情搞砸等，如：He spoiled the soup with too much salt．他放了太多的盐，把汤给弄糟了。本句选spoiling，表降低了空气的品质，污染了空气，正合题意，因此，为正确答案。而dam-age和destroy都含“破坏”、“毁坏”的意思。damage指价值、用途降低或外表损坏等，不一定全部破坏，损坏了还可以修复，如：The heavy rain damaged many houses．大雨毁坏了许多房子。destroy指彻底毁坏以至不能或很难修复，如：That town was destroyed in a big fire．那个城镇在一场大火中被毁灭了。显然，这两个词都不能修饰空气。decay“衰亡，毁坏，腐烂”，表从完好健全的状态变坏，但还未达到彻底毁灭的状态，如：The civilization has begun to decay ever since．这种文明从此开始衰落。空气不能说衰落，因此也不能选此选项。
