Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by

some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and blacken

the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　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 Governor 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., including New York and Boston have already raised the age limit.

A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which ----in

addition to raising the age limit----treats electronic cigarettes the same as

tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allow

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( 游说） from tobacco

interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said

the state should not be involved in policing people’s personal choices. “ I

don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my children to,” said Republican 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

to 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

nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens

reached adulthood.In addition , there would be 223,000 fewer premature( 过早

的）deaths and 50, 000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”

1. Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21”

A. California B Hawaii C. New York D. Washington

2. The California law includes all the following measures

EXCEPT_____.

A enlarging no-smoking areas

B allowing counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes
