【解析】

這是一段A和B之間的對(duì)話，內(nèi)容是關(guān)于吸煙對(duì)健康的危害。

【1】

句意：醫(yī)生告訴我，多年的吸煙削弱了我的健康。

根據(jù)下文When I got my first job, I was very young可知，B已經(jīng)抽了很多年的煙。根據(jù)句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處應(yīng)填入意為“多年的”名詞所有格，故答案為years’。

【2】

句意：你無(wú)法想象我是多么無(wú)助，然后我開(kāi)始抽煙，因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得工作壓力很大。

根據(jù)上文When I got my first job, I was very young. I couldn’t finish the tasks in time and even made many mistakes可知，B剛開(kāi)始工作時(shí)經(jīng)常無(wú)法按時(shí)完成工作，并且經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)，于是他感到壓力很大，然后開(kāi)始抽起了煙。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“然后”的副詞，故答案為then。

【3】

句意：你無(wú)法想象我是多么無(wú)助，然后我開(kāi)始抽煙，因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得工作壓力很大。

根據(jù)上文When I got my first job, I was very young. I couldn’t finish the tasks in time and even made many mistakes可知，B剛開(kāi)始工作時(shí)經(jīng)常無(wú)法按時(shí)完成工作，并且經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)，于是他感到壓力很大，然后開(kāi)始抽起了煙�？崭裉帒�(yīng)填入意為“有壓力的、緊張的”形容詞，故答案為stressed/ nervous。

【4】

句意：實(shí)際上這樣做是有害的。

根據(jù)下文It cannot lower the pressure but only to do harm both to own health and to that of people around you可知，此處A說(shuō)的是實(shí)際上想用吸煙來(lái)減壓的方式對(duì)健康是有害的�？崭裉帒�(yīng)填入意為“實(shí)際上”的副詞，且位于句首首字母應(yīng)大寫，故答案為Actually。

【5】

句意：它不能降低壓力，但只會(huì)對(duì)自己和周圍人的健康造成傷害。

結(jié)合前后文It cannot lower the pressure和only to do harm both to own health and to that of people around you可知，從句意上兩者為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故應(yīng)填入表轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞，故答案為but。

【6】

句意：煙霧中微小而危險(xiǎn)的東西很容易進(jìn)入人體，導(dǎo)致生病的幾率增加。

根據(jù)句中things from the smoke提示，煙霧中的一些物質(zhì)通常是很微小的�？崭裉帒�(yīng)填入意為“微小的”形容詞，故答案為tiny。

【7】

句意：煙霧中微小而危險(xiǎn)的東西很容易進(jìn)入人體，導(dǎo)致生病的幾率增加。

根據(jù)上文The tiny and dangerous things from the smoke easily get into people’s body可知，煙霧中微小而危險(xiǎn)的東西很容易進(jìn)入人體，導(dǎo)致生病的幾率增加。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“增加”的動(dòng)詞increase，且主語(yǔ)chances為復(fù)數(shù)，故動(dòng)詞increase應(yīng)用原形，故答案為increase。

【8】

句意：人們總是說(shuō)孩子喜歡模仿父母。

根據(jù)下文Yes, children like to follow the examples of their parents in many ways可知，此處B說(shuō)的是人們總是說(shuō)孩子喜歡模仿父母。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“模仿”的動(dòng)詞copy，且位于like to do結(jié)構(gòu)中，故答案為copy。

【9】

句意：此外，吸煙也是引起火災(zāi)的主要原因之一。

根據(jù)上文It cannot lower the pressure but only to do harm both to own health and to that of people around you可知，說(shuō)到了吸煙的一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)，即對(duì)健康的危害，此處A說(shuō)的是此外，吸煙也是引起火災(zāi)的主要原因之一�？崭裉帒�(yīng)填入意為“除……之外”的副詞besides和also，且位于句首首字母應(yīng)大寫，故答案為Besides/ Also。
