The study，published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body—even the skin protected from the sun.    "We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced. "Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan,who led the study, said in a statement.    "In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged from 45 to 65 years, "Helfrich’s team added in their report.    The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner fight alms. They ranged in age from 22 to 9l and half were smokers. Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person’s skin was.    When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse. wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint. Helfrich’s team wrote.    Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature(过早的)skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.    The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels(血管)beneath the skin to constrict(紧缩), reducing blood supply to the skin.    Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.(1)When your skin is exposed to sunlight long, it becomes all of the following but______.A. flexible          B. coarse            C. wrinkled           D. discolored(2)How wrinkled a person’s skin is doesn’t relate to______.A. the number of cigarettes a person smokesB. the kind and characteristics of skinC. how long a person smokesD. how long skin is under sunlight(3).From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because______________.A. it will lower blood supply to skinB. it can make you feel tiredC. it can make skin come offD. it can make blood run faster(4)The main purpose of the passage is to__________________.A. inform people about the result of the studyB. advise people how to protect skinC. warn people not to smoke againD. introduce a new way of avoiding skin aging 【解析】研究表明，吸烟对皮肤的危害极大，如加快皮肤衰老，改变皮肤颜色等。才外，还会破坏结缔组织。不知种种触目惊心的研究结果是否能给广大烟民敲响警钟？ (1)A细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的内容可知当皮肤长时间暴露在阳光下时，皮肤不会变得“柔韧”。(2)B细节理解题。文章中没有提到皮肤起皱纹的程度与皮肤的种类和特征有关。(3)A细节理解题。倒数第三段提到抽烟会让皮肤过早衰老，下一段中提到抽烟使皮肤下的血管紧缩，减少血液对皮肤的供应，由此可知抽烟导致皮肤衰老的主要原因是降低了血液对皮肤的供应量。(4)C 写作目的题。文章阐述了吸烟的种种危害，触目惊心，目的显然是警告人们不要再抽烟了。 **********************************************************结束单选题高考预练1、 Before the sales start, I make a list of ______ my kids will need for the coming season.   A. why     B. what    C. how    D. which解析：本题考查宾语从句的引导词。句意应为“在大甩卖开始前，我把孩子们在下个季节里要用到的东西列了一个清单。”分析句式结构可知，空格处在句中引导宾语从句且在从句中充当need的宾语，所以B项结构正确。which 引导名词性从句时多表示疑问且要有一个明确的范围。答案:B2、Sam _____ some knowledge of the computer just by watching others working on it.   A. brought up     B. looked up      C. picked up      D. set up解析：本题考查动词短语意义辨析。句意应为“山姆只是凭借看别人操作电脑就学到了一些电脑知识。”表示“学会”用pick up; pick up另外还有“捡起; 顺车接送,搭载；收拾，整理；重新开始；获得”等义；bring up 表示“抚养，教育；提出；呕吐”；look up 表示“向上看；（形势）好转，改善；查阅”；set up表示“建立，设置；造成，产生”。答案:C3、The school rules state that no child shall be allowed out of the school during the day, ______ accompanied by an adult.   A. once      B. when       C. if       D. unless解析：本题考查省略的状语从句的连接词。句意应为“学校规章规定：除非有成年人陪同，否则孩子们在校期间不能出学校。”表示“除非”用unless。该句式构成了“连词+过去分词”结构。答案:D4、The living room is clean and tidy, with a dining table already ______ for a meal to be cooked.   A. laid        B. laying      C. to lay      D. being laid解析：本题考查with复合结构的用法。with复合结构的构成是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”，由于table与lay(搁放)之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以空格处用过去分词表示被动。答案:A5、Up to now, the program ________ thousands of children who would otherwise have died.   A. would save             B. saves   C. had saved              D. has saved解析：本题考查动词时态的用法。句意应为“截止到现在，这个项目已经挽救了成千上万的本来会死去的孩子的生命。”up to now是现在完成时态的标志，所以空格处使用现在完成时态。答案:D6、 Your house is always so neat—how do you ______ it with three children?   A. manage        B. serve        C. adapt         D. construct解析：本题考查动词在具体语境中的使用。句意应为“你家里总是那么整洁-----家里有三个孩子，你是怎么设法做到的?” 表示“设法做成某事”用manage it。serve 表示“为……服务；接待”；adapt 表示“使适应，使适合”；construct表示“建造，构筑；构思”。答案:A7、 Helping others is a habit, _______ you can learn even at an early age.   A. it          B. that         C. what        D. one解析：本题考查代词的用法。句意应为“帮助别人是一种习惯，一个你在很小时就能学会的习惯。”空格处与前句中的habit构成同位关系，所以选择D项。句中you can learn even at an early age是省略了关系代词that 的定语从句，that在定语从句中作learn的宾语使用。答案:D8、Those who suffer from headache will find they get ______ from this medicine.   A. relief     B. safety      C. defense     D. shelter解析：本题考查名词在具体语境的使用。句意应为“那些头痛的人会发现这种药物能使头痛缓解。”所以A项意义符合句意, relief 表示“缓解，减轻，解除”。 safety表示“安全，保险”；defense 表示“防御，防护”； shelter表示“掩蔽，保护”。答案:A9、 — Her father is very rich.—________ She wouldn’t accept his help even if it were offered.  A.
