U.S.Signs Global Tobacco Treaty 1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world.Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control(FCTC)this week at the United Nations.The Senate must still approve the treaty before the U.S.can implement its provisions.
2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States,last year.Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
3 For instance,cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack.The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes,restrictions on smoking in public places,and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.It also requires bans on tobacco advertising,though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States,where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.
4 The impact of the treaty could be huge.The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year.In the U.S.alone,about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses;about one-third of all cancers in the U.S.are caused by tobacco use.If current trends continue,WHO estimates,by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.
5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.So far,109 countries have signed it,and 1 2 have ratified it.
选项 Signing the FCTC is only the first step toward______.
A:have ratified it
B:approving it
C:implement its provisions
D:restrict smoking in public places
E:caused by tobacco use
F:including higher tobacco taxes
答案B
解析文章第一段主要讲美国朝着批准一项全球性烟草协议迈出了第一步，这一步指的是美国本周在联合国签署了烟草控制框架性协议。故选B。
文章第二段讲烟草控制框架性协议是由世界卫生组织制定的，并且是在去年由世界卫生大会的成员国批准的。因此该段主要讲的是它的形成过程。故选D。
文章第三段列举了烟草控制框架性协钱时已通过此协议的国家的一些具体要求。故选A。
文章第四段通过列举吸烟所造成的危害来说明实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生的影响。故选E。
由文章第一段第一句话“The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty…”可知，签署烟草控制框架性协议只是朝着批准该协议迈出的第一步。故选B。
文章第二段最后一句话讲到通过烟草控制框架性协议的国家必须实施严格的烟草控制措施，而文章第三段列举了一些具体应实施的措施，其中包括限制在公共场所吸烟。故选D。
文章第四段讲到，实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生巨大的影响，并列举了吸烟所造成的巨大危害。由此可见人们希望该协议的实施可以大大减少吸烟所造成的危害，尤其是大量的死亡。故选E。
由文章第五段可知，已经签署烟草控制框架性协议的国家的数量大大超过了批准该协议的国家的数量。故选A。
