【答案解析】四个选项都是动词,空格后又是一动词,因此,所选的词必须符合这样的要求:该词后可以接一个省略to的不定式。四个选项中,只有B符合上述要求,因此B为正确答案。A选项意思上可以,但结构上不行。如果assist后接一表示动作的动词,它的习惯搭配是assist somebody in doing something(to do something)。
单选题
A. in
B. with
C. to

【答案解析】从空格前后的内容推知,空格所在句的意思是:“吸烟对人体有害。”英语用be harmful to表示“对……有害”。因此C为正确答案。与该词相关的结构有:do harm to,do good to。
单选题
A. Restrictions
B. Leisure
C. Remarks
D. Layout
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】结合上下文判断,该空格处的名词以及后面的部分与health warnings,on packages和ban on public smoking in certain places一样,是一些国家用来控制吸烟的最常见的手段。只有A选项填入空格后符合上述意思,即“对香烟广告的限制”。因此A为正确答案。
【答案解析】从空格所在句的后面部分of the dreadful consequences of taking up the habit可以判断:空格处应填入表示“告诉,告知”之类的动词,而且它必须能构成v. +somebody+of+something的结构。四个选项中,只有B项的inform可以满足以上意思和结构上的要求。因此,B为正确答案。
