第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Smokers may ignore the health warnings by telling themselves their habit makes them look cool. After all, sex symbols James Dean and Humphrey Bogart were rarely seen without a cigarette. However, the latest evidence shows that smoking actually makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Wrinkles from smoking a cigarette may be to blame for people judging non-smokers to be better-looking.
This was the result of a study asking more than 500 people to pick the most attractive of twins where one smoked and the other did not. Men found female non-smokers the most attractive in two-thirds of cases, while women chose non-smoking men as the most attractive 68 percent of the time.
Professor Ian Penton-Voak, a co-author of the study from Bristol University, said, “People assume that smoking causes damage to the skin and appearance, but this is a really neat way of looking at it because these twins are genetically identical, so we can control for genetic factors involved in ageing. Appearance seems to be important to people, especially young people, so we could use these sorts of findings as a basis for future interventions to stop people smoking.”
Smoking can speed up the normal ageing, even after only a decade. Nicotine causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, while the chemicals in tobacco smoke damage collagen and elastin, fibres which give the skin its elasticity (弹性).
The wrinkles this causes are added to by facial expressions made when smoking such as pursing the lips when inhaling (吸气) or squinting to keep smoke out of your eyes.
1、Why does the author mention James Dean and Humphrey Bogart?
A．To persuade smokers to give up smoking.
B．To compare them with non-smokers.
C．To tell us many people are influenced by them.
D．To show understanding and comfort smokers.
2、What can we learn from Para. 2 and Para. 3?
A．500 twins were surveyed for the study.
B．Probably young people pay more attention to their appearance.
C．Female non-smokers are more attractive than male ones.
D．Professor Ian Penton-Voak is the leading author of the study.
3、What is Professor Ian Penton-Voak’s altitude to smoking?
A．Disapproving. B．Favorable.
C．Unconcerned. D．Cautious.
4、What can be inferred from the text?
A．Smokers look cooler than non-smokers
B．Smoking may speed up skin’s ageing.
C．Smokers look younger than non-smokers.
D．Smoking should be banned right away.
