         Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information
     given in the passage.
          Smoking in indoor public places including public working place, public transportation vehicles and
    some other special outdoor working spaces has been banned in China since January 2011. Should
    smoking be banned in public places? Of course, it should be. First, banning smoking in public places
    will not only help in saving smokers from various kinds of heath conditions and diseases, but will also
    be beneficial for passive smokers.
         Second, banning smoking in public places will put pressure on smokers to quit. Since a smoker is
    forbidden from smoking in public places, he will learn how to live without smoking a cigarette for long
    hours. Moreover, when a smoker doesn't see anybody around him smoking or smelling of cigarette, it
    might reduce his urge to smoke too. Thus, people have to quit smoking as a result of smoking ban.
         Smoking in public places influences nonsmokers to take up smoking, especially adolescents. Since
    teens are in an impressionable age, when they see people around them smoking, they get encouraged to
    try it and then it becomes a habit, increasing the incidence of teen smoking. Moreover, asthma(哮喘)
    and ear infections are commonly seen in children who live around smokers, so if it's banned in public
    places, these places will become safe for children and teens, healthwise.
         Looking from the economic point of view, since smoking is a major contributing factor to many
    diseases, it leads to absence from work. Moreover, employees who smoke tend to take breaks now
    and then to smoke, thus cutting back on their working hours. So, if employers want to increase work
    productivity and want to make sure that their employees remain healthy, they should ban and stop
    smoking in and around offices.
         At last, smoking cigarettes adds to the pollution of the air, so if it is banned, it will help in saving the
    environment from further deterioration(恶化).

    　　The Three Gorges (三峡) Dam, the largest dam in the world, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame fiver and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China. It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean-going ships to sail 1,5000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the world's largest river port.

By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the dir.

    　　However, some scientists don't agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir (水库), which can do harm to people, fish and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation (沉积) and damage of abreach (决口) are problems, too.

    C．In the Three Gorges.
    D．In Wuhan.

    3．It will take about ________ to complete the dam.

    [　　]

    A．eight years
    B．more than ten years
    C．half a century
    D．more than twenty years

    4．Some scientists fear that ________.

    [　　]

    A．when the dam is built, the balance of nature may be destroyed

    B．sedimentation may occur

    C．abreach may cause millions of people to die or to be homeless

    D．electricity will not be as much as expected

    5．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right?

    [　　]

    A．When finished, the dam will be one of the main bases of power source of China.

    B．People have different ideas about the setting up of the dam.

    C．It will take many years to build the darn because people want to see whether it will be safe and strong enough.

    D．Chongqing will become the largest river port in the world when the dam is finished.
