湖南2017.11成人學(xué)位英語考試考前提分試題及答案三
The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover-nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S., inclu-ding New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.
A week ago, the Caiifomia Assembly approved the measure, which--in addition to raising the age limit--treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, in-creases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly' s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.
California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游說)from tobacco interests. The meas-ure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in po-licing people' s personal choices. "I don' t smoke. I don' t encourage my children to," said Re-publican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. "But they' re adults, and it' s our job to treat our citizens as adults. "
But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. " This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. ( 76 ) "It will save thousands of lives. " A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nation-wide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today' s teens reached adulthood. In addi-tion, there would be 223,000 fewer premature ( 過早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer. "

細節(jié)題。題干問的是“哪個是個提高吸煙年齡到21歲的州?”根據(jù)定位句“加州將成為繼夏威夷之后第二個提高購買香煙和其他煙草產(chǎn)品合法年齡的州”可以推斷加州是第二個州，而夏威夷是個州，故選B。

細節(jié)題。題干問的是“下列哪項規(guī)定不在加州法律范圍內(nèi)?”定位句指出加州法律范圍內(nèi)有四條附加規(guī)定，分別是將電子香煙視為與煙草產(chǎn)品同等的存在，擴大了禁煙區(qū)的范圍(A項)，提高了禁煙令(C項)，并且允許各鎮(zhèn)對香煙征收高稅(B項)。由此可知，D項“對鼓勵孩子抽煙的父母進行懲罰”不屬于加州法律范圍。故選D。
