Smokers who want to kick the habit might soon get help from a product that's being tested

at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine: a mouth wash that makes cigarettes taste bad. It could be on the market within a year.

The anti-smoking rinse itself tastes rather pleasant. But if you light up within 6 to 8 hours of smoking it, your cigarette will taste like burnt rubber and you won't smoke past the first puff, explains Dr. Sebastian Ciancio, director of the Center for Dental Studies at the University of Buffalo.

Ciancio is heading up a pilot study in which 10 smokers, each of whom normally smoke at least a pack of cigarettes a day, are rinsing their mouths three times daily with the anti-smoking solution. Another 10 are getting a placebo. Prior to this study, only the inventor had tested the anti-smoking rinse—a chemist who does not wish to be identified—and a few of his friends, who say it enabled them to quit smoking.

And Ciancio has no shortage of volunteers: The waiting list to participate in the study is already full. "People arc desperate," he says. If the pilot study is successful, it will be expanded.

Not only might the patented formulation deter smoking, Ciancio adds, but it also appears to reduce plaque, gingivitis, and halitosis. Manufacturing the rinse, he estimates, would cost approximately the same as conventional mouthwashes.

How many smokers are participating in the pilot study now？

A．10.

B．21.

C．over

D．20

第1题

There may be a good reason why some people are not able to stop smoking cigarettes. A new

study found that people who suffer from depression were two times as likely to fail when they tried to stop smoking.

Alexander Glassman presented the findings recently during the yearly meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. Doctor Glassman is the director of an antismoking center at Columbia University in New York City. His study examined 100 smokers who have a history of depression. People with depression suffer periods of extreme sadness.

The researchers studied people who have succeeded and those who have failed in their efforts to stop smoking. The study found that people who did stop smoking were two times as likely to suffer from depression again within six months as those who continued to smoke.

Doctor Glassman says smokers who are depressed use tobacco to make themselves feel better. But, he says people with depression seem to have a much harder time stopping than non-depressed smokers.

So, drugs to fight depression are now also being used to help people stop smoking. Doctors say the most effective one is called Buproprion.

Buproprion mainly affects the brain chemical dopamine(多巴胺). nicotine(尼古丁) is a substance in tobacco that also affects dopamine. Buproprion helps people stop smoking because it eases the body's desire for nicotine. Doctor Glassman says the drug does not make people stop smoking. But it makes it easier for those who want to stop.

When people with depression tried to stop smoking they are ______.

A．as likely to fail as non-depressed smokers

B．more likely to fail than non-depressed smokers

C．more likely to succeed than non-depressed smokers

D．most likely to succeed among the smokers

Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by c

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago and decided it was not for you.

The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers—there are, after all, about 100 million of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.

And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you are open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers—or you wouldn't be reading this.

And those three things make you incredibly important today.

Because they mean that yours is the voice—not the smokers' and not the antismokers' —that will determine how much of the society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.

For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific re search on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmokers as well as the smokers. One prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly-contributed dollar on education (much of it in antismoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research.

There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even those who may serve society. The antismoking wall-builders have to give them their due help to make us more keenly aware of choice.

But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society's interests better by working together in mutual accommodation.

Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society forward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions can.

In paragraph 4, "you" refers to ______.

A．smokers

B．nonsmokers

C．antismokers

D．smokers who have quitted smoking

Common Problems, Common Solutions

The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago and decided it's not for you.

The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers — there are, after all about 60 million of them, work with them, and get along with them very well.

And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and non-smokers — or you wouldn't be reading this.

And those three things make you incredibly(难以置信的) important today.

Because they mean that yours is the voice — not the smoker's and not the anti-smoker's — that will determine how much of society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.

For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion(转移) of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. One prominent(卓越的) health organization, to cite(引证) but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly contributed dollar on "education" (much of it in antismoking propaganda)and only 2 cents on research.

There will always be some who want to build wails, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, to give them their due, helped to make us all more keenly aware of choice.

But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greatest number who know that walls are only temporary(暂时的) at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society's interest better by working together in mutual accommodation.

Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions, can.

What does the word "wall" used in the passage mean？

A．Anti-smoking propaganda.

B．Diseases striking nonsmokers as well as smokers.

C．Rules and regulations that prohibit smoking.

D．Separation of smokers from nonsmokers.

Quit Smoking 1 Anyone who has ever tried to give up smoking cigarettes knows the meaning o

Quit Smoking

1 Anyone who has ever tried to give up smoking cigarettes knows the meaning of being hooked. Even those who succeed in quitting for the first time suffer the same 75% relapse rate as recovering alcoholics and heroin addicts. Last week, the U. S. Surgeon General made official what everyone has recognized for a long time-tobacco, like cocaine or heroin, is addictive.

2 The panic of a heave smoker bereft of cigarettes speaks alarmingly of a physiological force at work that is more powerful than mere desire. Not long after taking up the habit, smokers become tolerant of nicotine's effects as with heroin and cocaine, dependence quickly follows.

3 Like many drugs that affect the nervous system, nicotine at once stimulates and relaxes the body. Because it is inhaled, it takes only seven to ten seconds to reach the brain — twice as fast as intravenous drugs and three times faster than alcohol. Once there, it mimics some of the actions of adrenaline, a hormone, and acetylcholine, a powerful neurotransmitter that touches off the brain’s alarm system, among other things. After a few puffs, the level of nicotine in the blood skyrockets, the heart beats faster and blood pressure increases. The result is that smokers become more alert and may actually even think faster.

4 Nicotine operates on other parts of the body as well. By constricting blood vessels, it casts a pallor over the face and diminishes circulation in the extremities, often causing chilliness in the arms and legs. It relaxes the muscles and suppresses the appetite for carbohydrates. Since nicotine cannot be stored in the body, smokers maintain a relatively constant level in the blood by continuing to smoke.

5 As for nicotine's addictive qualities, the Surgeon General cited several national surveys that reveal 75% to 85% of the nation's 51 million smokers would like to quit but have so far been unable to do so.

26 Paragraph 5

A Statistics about the People Who Want to Quit Smoking

B How Nicotine Affects Other Parts of the Body

C The Effect of Smoking on the Nervous System

听力原文： Earlier this year, the American Lung Association launched a web site aimed at helping people stop smoking cigarettes. The Association fights all kinds of lung diseases. Officials say using the Internet is the best way to help people save their own lives by helping them stop smoking.

The American Lung Association says the new web site is part of its Freedom from Smoking campaign. People around the world can use the web site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The program is free of charge. And it is interactive. A person who links to the web site can communicate with other people who also want to quit smoking. They can ask and answer questions, share concerns and tell about earlier attempts to quit smoking. The Freedom from Smoking campaign requires that everyone have a support group.

Support groups are necessary because quitting smoking is very difficult. The Freedom from Smoking campaign recognizes this. People who link to the web site answer a series of questions. These include why they smoke, how long they have been smoking and what causes the urge to have a cigarette. Then the program works with the person to design a successful way to quit. This may include making changes in a person's life or using medicines to help.

(41)

A．It launched the Freedom from Smoking campaign.

B．It vigorously called upon smokers to quit smoking.

C．It made available a new web site on the Internet.

D．It organized many supporting groups for those who want to quit smoking.

第8题

Ours is a big world, complex and full of many diverse people. People with many varying

points of view are constantly running up against others who have differing opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate of others when we smoke in public.

But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that courtesy is a two-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive a cooperative response than if you scowl(皱眉)fiercely and hurl insults. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.

Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the aroma of burning tobacco. We’re human, and like everyone else we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to modify our behavior. to accommodate others.

Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, aspirations. We have children, and mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers with everything on them and salute the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you’ll remember that the next time a smoker lights up in public.

1. The purpose of the first paragraph is _________.

A. to inform. the reader of the complexity of the world

B. to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokers

C. to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerate

D. to reveal the author’s reason for writing this essay

2. What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply？

A. We should go on two different roads.

B. We have different ways of doing things.

C. Being polite to each other is a mutual thing.

D. We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke.

3. According to the author, how can you get cooperative response from smokers if you don’t like to have someone smoking beside you？

A. Complain to his superior.

B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers.

C. Refrain from complaining but try to hint him next time.

D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.

4. According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public？

A. Because they cannot resist smoking.

B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell of cigarettes.

C. Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people.

D. Because there is no law against it.

5. How does the author try to persuade the reader？

A. He uses reasons.

B. He appeals to people’s emotions.

C. He cites examples in his argument.

D. He simply states his opinion.
