express their {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}about the effect of
smoking {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}the health not only {{U}}
{{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}those who smoke but also of those who do not.
In fact, nonsmokers who must {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}inhale
(吸入) the air polluted by tobacco smoke may {{U}} {{U}} 6
{{/U}} {{/U}}more than the smokers themselves. As you are
doubtlessly {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}, a considerable number
of our students have {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}in an effort to
{{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}the university to ban smoking in the

【答案解析】本题测试句意理解。suffer是指忍受精神或肉体的痛苦,其宾语一般是不利的事。A项endure强调痛苦的长期性,尤指忍受大的困难和灾难。C项undergo表示经历变迁,有时特指经受危险、考验、手术等。D项put up with有忍受、宽容、不计较等含义,属通俗用语。以上分析得出B项为最佳答案。
【答案解析】本题测试词义辨析。entirely意为“整个地,完全地”,较wholly语气强。这与entire和whole的关系一样,凡被分割、破坏或切断的都不能称为entire;whole含有部分的观念,entire则指全然的整体;entire可以修饰抽象名词,whole却不能。如:I'm in entire ignorance as to what he did (=I'm entirely ignorant). B项totally与上面两个词的主要区别在于它有较强的计算意味。
【答案解析】本题测试句意理解。call on/upon sb. to do sth. 意为“请/叫/号召某人做某事”。A项plead with sb. for…意为“向某人恳求……”;B项beg sb. for sth.意为“向某人乞求……”;C项insist on/doing sth. 意为“坚决主张、坚决要求做某事”。根据题意,对烟民要号召他们戒烟,故A、B、C项都不妥。
