Conversation One

M：Yael, what’s that inyour hand?

W：Come on, Don. Haven’tyou seen a cigarette before? Every day in the United States，about 1,500girls begin smoking, and I figured, why not do my share?

M：But Yael, don’t youknow that tobacco kills more than 140,000 women each year, and that half ofthose women are between the ages of thirty-five and sixty-nine?

W：Yeah．but that’swhy I smoke a brand with low nicotine and tar content．

M：Although tobaccocompanies advertise some cigarettes as "light", this is just anadvertising ploy to obscure the risks associated with smoking-smoking a lightcigarette is just as risky as smoking a regular one．In fact，researchshows that people who smoke light cigarettes actually smoke differently inorder to get higher levels of nicotine．

W：I didn’t know that．

M：The one thing youcan say about tobacco companies is that they are really savvy about marketin9．Whiletobacco ads that target men focus on cigarettes as macho or cool，tobacco adsthat target women focus on social and political themes important to women．For example，ads will saythat you’ve come a long way，or that you’ve found your voice，or encourage you tojust be yourself, as if smoking has anything to do with progress andself-expression．Young women are especially vulnerable to these ads because addiction，disease，andpremature death seem so remote to them．And the thing is，people whohave smoked as few as one hundred cigarettes report having difficulty quitting．

W：So．Don．can you passme that ashtray?

M：With pleasure, Yael,as long as you put it out．

答案和解析

听力对话答案

19．D主旨题。男士先提到每年有大量的女性由于吸烟而死亡，然后又指出女性选择的低焦油含量的烟草和普通烟草一样有害，接下来又提到烟草商为了吸引人们购买而采用的广告策略，由此可知，对话是关于女性吸烟的内容，所以D正确。

20．C信息明示题。男士提到，每年有超过140，000的女性因为吸烟而死亡，所以C正确。

21．D信息明示题。男士指出，那些烟草商宣传的低焦油含量的香烟只是一种广告策略，模糊了吸烟的危害，其实那些香烟的危害和其他普通香烟的危害是一样的，所以D正确。

22．D信息明示题。男士提到，烟草商非常聪明，针对男性的烟草广告强调男人味和劲酷感，而针对女性的烟草广告则侧重社交和政治方面，所以D正确。
