"If it were【C1】________up to me, I would raise the cigarette tax so high that the revenues from it would go to zero," thundered Michael Bloomberg back in 2002. New York City’s combative mayor has since raised cigarette taxes several times. The effect has been【C2】________, so he wants to try something new. He recently proposed to outlaw discounting cigarettes and【C3】________them openly in stores.
A second paper provides ammunition (弹药) to those sceptical of higher cigarette taxes as a way of discouraging smoking. John Cawley of Cornell University and Stephanie von Scholder of York University looked at how【C4】________young American smokers are to higher cigarette prices. Not very, it【C5】________out. That is because a big share—46% of teenage girls and 30% of teenage boys—do not smoke for【C6】________, but to stay thin or lose weight.
That may not be healthy, but it is rational: cigarettes appear to【C7】________the appetite and increase the metabolic rate (代谢速率). At any rate a【C8】________to lose weight makes young smokers much less sensitive to price changes: other ways of shedding pounds, such as eating less or exercising more, are less appealing.
The【C9】________may not do much to stop already illicit smoking by young people. Luckily, the study also opens up a new line of attack: convincing smokers that they are in fact not overweight. Judged by their body-mass index, a way of measuring whether people are under-or overweight, many girls (but not boys) who smoked to get thinner were of perfectly【C10】________weight.
A) bans E) limited I) senseless M) totally
B) desire F) normal J) sensitive N) turns
C) displaying G) obvious K) suppress O) wealth
D) frequently H) pleasure L) takes
【C3】
选项
答案
C
解析
动词辨义题。空格所在的分句中,them指代的是前文中提到的cigarettes,再由此处空格前的and可以判断,此处需要填入一个动名词与discounting并列使用。discount一般用作名词,意为“折扣”,但在此处用作动词,意为“削价出售,打折”。备选词汇中只有displaying“陈列”符合此处语境,故选C。
