Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the
smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at
controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under
the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security
and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August
20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco
control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3
million people have unwittingly （不知不觉地） become passive smokers because
they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are
at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where
smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿
液）, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding（超过） permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of
aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships
between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic
smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent
to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的),
the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to
protect the person's family.
24.What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. risky B. beneficial C. influential D. dangerous
25.How does the author organize Paragraph 3 ?
A. by listing figures B. by giving examples
C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons
26.We can learn from the passage that__________
A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime.
B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer .
C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine.
D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and
emotionally.
27. According to the new law, ___________
A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected.
B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned .
C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime.
D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers .
C
Born in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, to a Canadian
missionary family in 1915, Crook came into the world. While Isabel Crook's
parents were engaged in setting up schools and education institutions in
Southwest China, Crook herself was more interested in anthropology(人类学) and
the many ethnic minority peoples in China. She was very curious about what was
going on around her.
At the age of 23,Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master's
degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan
Province. In 1947,Crook and her journalist husband were warmly welcomed by
the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land
reform taking place in China. In 1948 the couple accepted an invitation from
CPC leaders to teach at a newly-built foreign affairs school. The school was the
forerunner of today's Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), which has seen over 400 ambassadors( 大 使 ) and 1,000 counsellors （ 参 赞 ） walk through its
doors. As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundations for foreign language
education in China.
As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school, Isabel and David
Crook brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom. Michael
Crook noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and
1960s, his parents were especially sensitive to their situation and did what they
could to help them while protecting their self-esteem. For example, they would
bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who
brought steamed corn bread.
According to the younger Crook, because of his parents' belief in
communism, they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials, such as
works once admired by Karl Marx. Understanding that the students would
become diplomats representing the People's Republic of China, his parents tried
to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for
communicating with foreigners in English.
On December 15th 2018, Isabel got the award of ‘The Most Influential Foreigner
throughout 40 Years of China’s Development’ from the Chinese government. On
September 17, 2019, Isabel was awarded “the Friendship Medals” by the Chinese
government for her lifetime of devotion to China.
28. What did Isabel Crook independently do?
A. Teaching English
B. Performing field research
C. Helping the poor students
D. Introducing new Western teaching ways to China
29. Why did his parents use political texts as teaching materials according to the
younger Crook?
A. They themselves were crazy about Chinese politics.
B. They wanted to spread the spirits of Karl Marx
C. They had to teach many objects including politics.
D. They believed in communism and wanted to prepare students for overall
development.
30. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. In the 1950s, Crook’s husband worked as a reporter in China.
B.Isabel and her husband taught students only in Western teaching methods.
C.Isabel Crook made great contributions to China’s foreign language
education.
D. Isabel Crook and her husband were very rich at that time.
31. Which of the following can best describe Isabel Crook?
A. caring B. patient C. strict D. romantic
D Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as
electronic music publishing. By delivering text directly to the reader's computer screen,
the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience,
bypassing traditional publishers and traders. But it also raises the possibility of mass
piracy( 盗 版 ). Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a
London-based e-book publisher, sums it up ， “No one wants Napster to happen to
books.”
Indeed, the most popular MP3 may have put the frighteners on an industry that
generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Meta Group, a leading
US-based market researcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their
rights,“ We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a
river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with
new ways to develop wide electronic distribution, asking the question, ‘How can we
change the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?’ ”
At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the
person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them. If that can be done,
e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would
continue to operate the way it does today, according to Terry Robinson, business
manager for the digital rights aspect, “you've cracked the market,” he says.
Robert Nichols, Books Director at BOL agrees, “Rights management is absolutely
important. Publishers just say that, ‘until copyright is secure, we're not going to talk’．”
32.According to the text, what is the similarity of e-books to electronic music？
A. They both result in piracy.
B. They both lead to price reduction.
C. They both bring in much money to creators.
D. They both avoid industry management.
33. From the text, we can infer that_____.
A. wide use of e-books may increase the income.
B. the publishing markets should be brought back to normal.
C. publishers haven’t agreed on rights management up to now.
D. most publishers prefer e-books for the extra income.
34. What are most publishers concerned about according to the text?
A. copyrights management B. price control
C. market share D. original works
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Magic Book
B. The Fight Against Mass Piracy
C. Risks and Challenges Go Hand in Hand
D. The E-book----a New and Big Challenge
