Development Promotion Act,was initiated（启动）bythe Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the RoyalGazette on May 22,2019.The law aims at limiting smoking at home which might behazardous fbr others1 health living under the same roof.In that case,it will be considered as*domestic violence”.The new law came into force on August 20.According to the center for research and knowledge management fbr tobacco control,at theFaculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University,there are about 4.9 million householdswhere one or more family members smoke.An average of 10.3 million people haveunconsciously become passive smokers because theyve been breathing in 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 havenicotine traces in their urine（尿液）,with 43%of them having nicotine content going beyondpermitted levels.Smoking at home also may lead to physical or emotional violence because ofaggressiveness（攻击性）when there is a lack of smoking,and might as well ruin relationshipsbetween smokers and non-smoker family members.According to the new law,anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can reportto officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action againstthe smokers.Once confirmed,the court may order a person to receive treatment to quitsmoking in an attempt to protect the persons family.In February in 2019,Thailand hadbanned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.8.What do we know about the new law in Thailand?A.It came into effect on May 22.B.It aimed at protecting the health of non-smokers.C.It regarded smoking

smoking at home.11.What can be inferred from the text?A.Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand.B.Passive smokers are not likely to suffer from cancer.C.People tend to be more aggressive when they are smoking.D.Thailand is making efforts to create a smoke-free environment.DDo you want to look fashionable?Is looking fashionable more important than beingcomfortable?Many people seem to think so,judging by the things they wear.But fashion isnot everything.It is more important to be a healthy and good person.People go to great lengths to be fashionable.Some people think,they have to have a certain第4页，共21页body type,so they go on extreme,unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies.In addition,many women wear uncomfortable fashions,such as high-heeled shoes that create blisters（水泡）,tight body shapers that limit blood flow,and sticky false eyelashes（假嚏毛）.Men andwomen alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hotirons and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair.Some people spend several hours a day infront of a mirror.Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changinghow they look like?If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good,it does not make sense that he or shewould go through so much discomfort to be fashionable.Fashion should not come first.Peopleshould prioritize（优先考虑）being healthy and positive.What people wear does not indicateanything about their personalities.Instead of spending hours choosing a suit,perhaps youshould call your friends and do something together.Instead of going on strict diets and starving,why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise?By doing these things,you can keep ahealthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.12.Why does the author include questions in the text?A.To enrich the content.B.To introduce a new topic.C.To reflect different attitudes.D.To make readers think and give their opinions.13.Which

friends.D.Changing the hairstyle every week.15.The authors main purpose in writing the text is to.A.show readers advantages and disadvantages of dietingB.persuade readers to value health more than fashionC.tell readers ways to become fashionableD.inform readers of the latest fashion trends二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共12 5分)To an outsider,any culture can seem confusing.And the UKs got a thing or two that
