【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] A single cigarette sold on a street corner may not cost a lot; however, the overall costs of smoking are huge. First, consider the cost of human life. The World Health Organization says about 10 people die of tobacco-linked diseases every minute. That rate adds up to almost six million people dying from such diseases every year. The majority of these preventable deaths happen in low-income and middle-income countries. The World Bank says each of these countries has a gross national income of less than $12,746. For most people, stopping smoking is hard. Many began smoking as teenagers. They are used to it. Also, tobacco contains the powerful drug nicotine. Studies show people who want to stop smoking can do so with different treatments. Some get help from electronic cigarettes, medicine or nicotine patches that reduce one's desire for the drug. Dr. Nancy Rigotti works at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States. She says she finds that medicine and counseling services together work best of all. Other experts and former smokers offer even more effective advice: if you are considering starting smoking, don't. In fact, smoking costs more than the life of an individual. It can affect the health of an entire country. The World Health Organization says low-income countries depend heavily on taxes from cigarettes. They use the money, in part, to pay the costs of health care for tobacco-related diseases. But the illegal trade in tobacco products is further testing the economies of low-income countries. WHO officials say the illegal trade earns about $31 billion every year. Douglas Bettcher is the director of the WHO's Department for the Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases. He calls the illegal trade a monster with many heads. He says the trade enables young people to buy cigarettes at low prices, become addicted to tobacco and suffer serious health problems. It also increases crime and reduces tax revenue. The World Health Organization is urging the United Nations member states to sign a treaty to end the illegal trade in tobacco products. Eight countries have approved the treaty. But the approval of 32 other countries is needed for it to become international law. If the treaty succeeds, governments could put people who trade illegal tobacco products in jail—another cost to countries' budgets. What do we learn about smoking from the lecture? 讲座提到，许多烟民青少年时期就开始抽烟(began smoking as teenagers)，D项是该处录音信息的同义表达，故为正确答案。A项错在10 million，录音是说每分钟约有10人死于跟烟草相关的疾病，而每年大约有六百万人死于这些疾病，A中的数字属于张冠李戴。讲座中指出大多数吸烟死亡事件发生在低收入和中等收入国家，世界银行表示，这些国家的国民收入总值均不到12746美元。因此B项“大多数吸烟死亡事件发生在高收入国家”和C项“吸烟可以带来约12746美元的国民收入”与原文内容不符，故排除。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] What is the best way to stop smoking according to Dr. Nancy Rigotti? 选项均是与戒烟相关的行为描述，可预测题目可能询问戒烟的具体措施。Dr. Nancy Rigotti发现药物和咨询服务结合在一起(medicine and counseling services together)是最好的戒烟方法。因此C项为正确答案。讲座提到人们可以通过不同的方法戒烟，例如使用电子香烟，药物或尼古丁贴片以减少对尼古丁的欲望，但这不是Dr. Nancy Rigotti发现的最好的戒烟方法，因此A项“使用电子香烟”和B项“使用药物或尼古丁贴片”均可排除。录音中还提到，其他专家和成功戒烟者提供了更有效的建议：如果你正在考虑开始吸烟，立刻停止想法，但这也不是Dr. Nancy Rigotti提出的，故排除D项“停止吸烟的想法”。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the WHO urge UN member states to do about illegal tobacco trade? 世界卫生组织(WTO)敦促联合国成员国签署条约，以结束烟草制品的非法贸易(sign a treaty to end the illegal trade)，B项是对该处录音原文的同义表达，为正确答案。A项错在international law，WTO)是敦促成员国签署条约(treaty)，A项偷换了概念。如果条约成功签订，各国政府可以监禁从事非法烟草贸易的商人，C项“监禁非法烟草贸易商人”是条约签署成功后对非法商人的惩罚方法，故排除C项。D项“通过增加国家预算阻止非法烟草贸易”利用原词countries' budgets作干扰，与讲座内容不符。
