【2】G

【3】E

【4】A

【5】F

【解析】

試題分析：Ali來自一個中東國家，在他的祖國，周圍很多人都抽煙，因此他很難戒掉煙。他現(xiàn)在住在美國，美國沒那么多人抽煙，他覺得這回應該比較好戒煙。實際上難以戒掉煙是因為香煙中有一種物質，叫尼古丁，這種物質容易使人上癮，而且很難戒掉。因此最好的方式就是不要開始吸煙。

【1】C 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據前幾句可知，阿里認為他戒不掉煙是因為身邊的人都在抽煙，但是前一句說美國吸煙的人不多，那么應該容易戒煙了。故選C。

【2】G 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據后一句They know it can cause cancer and heart disease.可知，應該選G。

【3】E 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據后面的The nicotine makes him sick.可知，剛剛開始抽煙的人感覺并不好。故選E。

【4】A 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據后一句Many people who quit will soon smoke again.可知，很多戒煙的人很快又開始抽煙，說明了戒煙很難。故選A。

【5】F 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據這一段可知，戒煙很難，所以最容易的方法就是不要開始抽煙！故選F。
