試題分析：本文敘述了吸煙的人成癮的原因以及吸煙的害處。香煙里有一種叫作尼古丁的毒。許多人剛開(kāi)始吸煙，感到難受，過(guò)了一些日子他們就習(xí)慣了尼古丁。然后離不開(kāi)它了。吸煙容易引起癌癥和心臟病。但是戒煙很難，很多人戒了煙不久有吸起來(lái)了。

【1】B根據(jù)第一段的I tried to quit (放棄) smoking in my hometown,but it was impossible.和Here in the United States, not as many people smoke.可知Ali因?yàn)榧亦l(xiāng)的人都吸煙，所以戒煙是不可能的，比較一下，在美國(guó)，吸煙的人沒(méi)那么多，因此可以推測(cè)此處要說(shuō)戒煙要容易。故選B。

【2】D根據(jù)第二段的They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. 可知吸煙的人知道吸煙有害健康。故選D。

【3】E根據(jù)第三段的這些時(shí)間短語(yǔ) In a few days, Later,可知暗示將按來(lái)描述，所以此處應(yīng)是剛開(kāi)始（first）。故選E。

【4】A根據(jù)最后一段的Many people who quit will soon smoke again.可知戒了煙的人不久很快又開(kāi)始吸煙，因此此處要說(shuō)戒煙很難。故選A。

【5】F根據(jù)最后一段的Soon they become smokers again. 可知他們有成為煙民，沒(méi)有有效的戒煙方法，因此說(shuō)，最好的方法就是一開(kāi)始就不吸煙。故選F。
