Question

（四川省绵阳中学2010届高三高考模拟A篇）

Smoking is habit that’s closely linked to certain times and places. If you break these links, you can break the habit. The best way of doing this is to avoid the situations where you want a cigarette. If you can’t avoid them, then you will have to fight off the temptation（诱惑）. Sit down and think about when and where you usually have a cigarette. For example, do you always have one after breakfast? After other meals? In breaks at work? When you are watching television? With friends in the pub? Once you stop smoking, these times and places are going to be the danger spots. So work out how you are going to deal with them.

It will also help if you can make new habits to break the old one of smoking. So plan some new activities to replace smoking-things to draw away your attention, things to do with your hands, and different ways to deal with tensions.

Some people find it helps if they cut down on cigarettes before they actually give up. It’s one way of preparing for the day you stop for good. But don’t look on cutting down as an alternative to giving up, and don’t do it for more than a couple of weeks at the very most. The danger is that you go back to smoking more than you did before.

Answer 1

答案：

41．A 推理判断题。 文章开头说， 抽烟这个习惯与一定的时间和场合有关系， 如果打破这些联系， 那么就能戒掉这个习惯。

42. C 猜测词义题。 从划线部分的语境看， 这里表示的是容易让你重新开始吸烟的时间和场合。

43. D 推理判断题。 从第一段可知， 当我们休闲下来是就容易滋生抽烟的念头， 第二段说可以培养新的习惯来替代旧的抽烟的习惯， 用一些事情来转移注意力，用各种方法减缓压力， 作者的意思是在业余的时间用其他的方法来取代抽烟的习惯。

44. B 细节理解题。 本文最后一段说戒烟最好是逐渐减少吸烟的量， 最后再戒掉。
