Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．D;3．C;4．B;
解析：

(1)	主旨归纳题．本文也属新闻报道，文章第一段交代了文章的中心，欧盟号召成员国采用一些宣传吸烟有害健康的照片，以此来警示吸烟者．
(2)	推理判断题．分析文章的信息我们可以得出结论，文章介绍的新措施仅仅还是一种设想，还没有付诸实施，因此断定欧盟国家仍旧沿用旧的警示方式．
(3)	细节理解题．文章倒数第二段说明加拿大因为采取了类似的警示措施，吸烟人数有所下降．Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000．The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers．
(4)	语意理解题．本句的意思是：在欧盟，吸烟是惟一能够避免的造成死亡的最重要原因．即：吸烟造成的死亡本来可以避免．
