US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty
The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control(FCTC)this week at the United Nations.【B1】______
The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States, last year.【B2】______
For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack.【B3】______It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States,where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.
【B4】______The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone,about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.
The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.【B5】______
A Tobacco stocks also perked up as investors discounted fears of litigation(诉讼)from the US.
B So far, 109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.
C The impact of the treaty could be huge.
D Countries that ratify(批准)it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
E The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.
F The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.
【B1】
选项
答案
F
解析
本文主要讲了美国签订的全球烟草协议,该协议有望在全球范围内控制使用烟草所产生的致命影响。首段讲到美国朝着批准一项全球性烟草协议迈出了第一步,即本周美国在联合国签署了《烟草控制框架公约》(FCTC)。空格前面提到美国已在联合国签署FCTC,对应选项中的“即便如此,此项协议(the treaty)仍需通过参议院批准”。故选F。
