Question

It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is frightening.

Yet people around the world continue to smoke. In the United States, about forty-seven-million adults smoke. This year, more than 430,000 Americans died of diseases which have something to do with smoking. The American Cancer Society(美国癌症协会)says smoking harms the body greatly. It warns that smoking even a number of cigarettes is dangerous.

It’s not easy to give up smoking. However, doctors say you probably will live longer if you do stop smoking. You will feel better and look better. You also will protect the health of family members who breathe your smoke.

There is not one right way to stop smoking, doctors say. Any way can help. You  can take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, you can eat a small piece of fruit or vegetable instead of having a cigarette. The sooner you stop smoking, the more you’ll reduce (减少) your chances of getting cancer and other diseases.

Stop smoking before smoking stops you!

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：据报道，每年超过4000000人死于吸烟。这个数据令人害怕。然而全世界的人还在继续吸烟。在美国，大约有47000000成年人吸烟。今年，超过430000死于与吸烟相关的疾病。美国癌症协会说吸烟对身体伤害最大，并警告说吸大量的烟是危险的。戒烟不容易，然而，你越快戒烟，你就越减少得癌症和其它疾病的机会。你就会越健康，活得更久。在烟结束你生命之前停止吸烟吧！

1.1】More than four million people die from smoking each year.细节理解题。题意：每年有多少人死于吸烟？根据短文第一句话“It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking”（ 据报道，每年超过4000000人死于吸烟。）可知本题答案：More than four million people die from smoking each year.

2.2】The American Cancer Society says smoking harms the body greatly.细节理解题。题意：美国病症协会就吸烟讲了什么？由短文第1自然段倒数第二句：The American Cancer Society says smoking harms the body greatly.可得本题回答：The American Cancer Society says smoking harms the body greatly.

3.3】戒烟是不容易的。翻译题。Give up doing sth 放弃做某事，give up smoking戒烟。整个句子是一个不定式作主语的结构，用it作的形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式。故译成：戒烟是不容易的。

4.4】你戒烟越早，就会更大的减少你患癌症和其他疾病的风险。翻译题。本题是一个特殊结构，the+比较级，the+比较级：越……，就越……；the chance of ………的机会。故原句翻译为：你戒烟越早，就会更大的减少你患癌症和其他疾病的风险。

5.5】主旨归纳题。本文主要讲述的是吸烟对人的危害。所以用警示吸烟对人有害的词作标题，这里借用原文最后一句：在烟结束你生命之前停止吸烟吧！：Stop smoking before smoking stops you
