Why do people smoke? One reason is that people become dependent on cigarettes. The substance which people cannot resist in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker’s body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stop smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop.
Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy.
Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarette. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by producing cigarette with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce its risk.

SECTION Ⅱ READING
Part A
Directions:
Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Text 1
Five-year-old Elia arrived at school with a big box of colored pencils. Her friend, Anna, offered to exchange her set of markers for the brand-new pencils. Elia agreed, but soon discovered. that the markers were dried up. “That’s not fair!” cried Elia to her teacher. “I want my new pencils back.” After some tears and negotiation, the teacher helped the girls set things right by returning the items to their original owners.
Later that day, at story time, the teacher shared the picture book classic A Bargain for Frances. Though the conflict in the story is just over a broken tea set, the message about fair play was not lost on the children. The book was helpful in exploring a small, yet significant, life lesson.
Stories are vital to the way we process and experience life events and the feelings that surround us. The ability to create, share, and respond to stories is one of the vital characteristics of being human. In fact, the human brain is programmed to see patterns and become fascinated in the plot development of stories, finally storing them in long-term memory. As a result, the brain is a remarkably effective processor of stories, both real and fictional.
High-quality picture books are a good blend of art and literature that attracts kids’ imagination and communicates an idea in an effective way. These books are perfect teaching tools, as they deal with the powerful emotions that kids feel, model effective coping strategies, and present complex concepts in appropriate ways. In addition, according to brain research, the picture book complements words with what leaves the most permanent impression: images. The pictures in books are distinctive from the fleeting images kids see on television in that they remain on the page, ready to be revisited, touched, and commented upon.
Whether we share stories about families, historical events, or emotions, stories are away to sum up life’s memorable moments and lasting lessons. We can control the power of literature and use it to develop positive character in young kids by reading often, choosing suitable books, and enjoying stories together.

30. The power of literature can help kids develop their _____.
[A]. positive character
[B]. interest in history

27.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Though the conflict in the story is just over a broken tea set, the message about fair play was not lose on the children（尽管故事中的矛盾只是来自一个破碎的茶具，但是却传递了一个重要的信息：孩子间的公平没有丢失）”可知，这本书讲的是关于公平的故事，A项正确。
28.D 细节推断题。根据文章第三段第一、二句“Stories are vital to way we process and experience life events and the feelings that surround us. The ability to create, share, and respond to stories is one of the vital characteristics of being human”可知，故事对于我们体验生活事件和感知周围人的过程是必不可少的。由此可以推断：故事能够帮助孩子更好地了解世界。D项正确。A项“了解他们的潜能”、B项“提高他们的记忆”、C项“集中注意力阅度”在文中都没提及。
29.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“The pictures in books are distinctive from the fleeting image kids see on television in that they remain on the page, ready to be revisited, touched, and commented upon（书中的图片与孩子在电视上看到的飞速的画面不同。因为书中的图片印在纸张上，可以反复阅读、触摸和评论。）”可知，与图画书相比，电视画面转换快、停留时间短，B项正确。

We have heard a lot about the health benefits of tea, especially green tea. It is high in poly-phenols, compounds with strong antioxidant activity that in test-tube and animal models show anti-cancer and heart-protective effects. Good clinical studies are few, however, and although physicians tell their patients to drink green tea, there hasn’t been any definite proof of the value of that advice.
A team of Japanese researchers was able to link green tea consumption with decreased mortality from many causes—including heart disease. The researchers tracked 40,530 healthy adults ages 40 to 79 in a region of northeastern Japan where most people drink green tea, following them for up to 11 years. Those who drank five or more
