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.
The best title for the passage would be______.
选项
A、Do Give Up Smoking
B、Smoking Causes Lung Cancer
C、Smoking Does Harm to Health
D、Man Likes Smoking Much More Than Woman
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。文章首先指出虽然世界吸烟者的总数在减少,但是基数仍然很大。而且吸烟会给人体健康造成巨大的伤害,所以戒烟十分重要。另外文中还提到男女吸烟习惯的趋同趋势。由此,可判断文章的主旨就是规劝人们戒烟,即A选项正确。其他选项都太过片面。B项错误,因为文章不仅仅说吸烟会导致肺癌,还有其他疾病。C项错误,因为文章也没有单纯论证吸烟对身体的害处。D项错误,因为文章最后一段的结论是男女吸烟的区别已经不大了。
