Although the total percentage of daily smokers is falling in most countries, a new international study shows that six people die every minute from smoking. That equals 3 million deaths around the world every year. If the present rate of smoking continues, the number of deaths each year from smoking could rise to 10 million by the year 2020.
The study describes smoking as the biggest cause to deadly diseases among grown-ups in industrial countries. So far most of the smoking deaths have happened on men, especially in developing countries.
A researcher at the World Health Organization says 70% of the Chinese men smoke more than 15 cigarettes each day. In Latin America about 50% of the men are smokers. There are also a very large number of smokers in the former Soviet Union and in the east Europe. And 25% of all smoking deaths worldwide are in those areas of the world. Scientists say smoking will kill 50% of the smokers.
Smoking is known to cause lung cancer. It also can lead to cancer of the mouth and other parts of bodies. Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to suffer from heart disease.
Experts say that people reduce their chance of dying from smoking if they stop smoking completely. They say smokers who give up smoking can improve their health.
In most Western European countries the percentage of daily smoker is falling, and far more men than women are quitting smoking. In Sweden and the Netherlands the percentage of male smokers has been cut nearly in half in the past thirty years. In Norway about one third of the adult population smokes daily, a percentage that has fallen slightly. In 1980 this percentage was about 36, in 1990 it had fallen to 35 and in 1999 it was 32. There is no longer any difference between men’ s and women’ s smoking habits.
Which of the following statement is True?
选项
A、Smoking is the biggest cause to deadly diseases among grown-ups
B、Now more men than women are smoking
C、The number of smokers in east Europe is much bigger than that in Latin America
D、About one second of the Latin American men are nonsmokers.
答案
D
解析
第三段In Latin America about 50% of the men are smokers,即“在拉美,二分之一的男人都吸烟”,与D项一致,因而正确。A项在文中第二段第一句,The study describes…in industrial countries,但是范围限定在工业国家内,故错误。文中最后一句There is no longer any difference between men’s and women’s smoking habits说明B项错误。第三段提到C项,但并未给出比较关系,故错误。
