Less than one year after France imposed a nationwide ban on smoking in most public places, it will, from Jan. 1, 2009, extend the ban to bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs—and the most cherished of all: cafés.

Ireland and Italy show that countries with long-standing smoking traditions may introduce bans fairly smoothly, as they did in 2004 and 2005. In Germany, where regulations vary locally, Berlin will join France on Jan 1. But fierce critics of the new law in France say it all but destroys the café's basic function: to serve as the socio-economic glue of society.

Cécile Perez, owner of La Fronde, a typical Parisian neighborhood café, said: “In the morning, street cleaners in bright green uniforms sip coffee next to well-dressed businessmen; at lunch hour, working-class types rub shoulders with those of the latest fashion at the bar, while couples of all ages rub noses over salads; during the after-work rush, there is a steady soundtrack of clinking glasses combined with conversation; the constant, no matter what time of day, is the smoke that drifts through the air in curls and clouds, seemingly unnoticed.”

“Our motto in France is: liberty, equality, fraternity,” Olivier Seconda, a regular at the café, said. “The café is the place that represents that. You’re free to smoke, everyone pays the same price for a beer and different kinds of people talk with one another. This new law goes against that.”

Seconda expects the ban to be felt even more strongly in small villages far from Paris, where the café is often the only means of social activity. “People already miss the space that allows people of all walks of life to share something—even if it is sometimes no more than a few words and the smoke floating between them.”

33.Cécile Perez mentions the curls and clouds of smoke drifting through the air to ______.

A.describe a friendly atmosphere B.show the beauty of his own café

C.support the ban on smoking D.remind us of something unnoticed

34.Olivier Seconda implies that ______.

A.the café provides people with enough liberty, equality, and fraternity

B.people, regardless of their social classes, enjoy equal rights in a café

C.the new ban on café smoking should be put in effect only in villages

D.people would not find fun in a café without smoking a cigarette

35.The passage is written to _______.

A.show the writer’s personal opinion against a new law

B.provide information for law-makers to pass a new law

C.tell why some people are unhappy about smoking ban in cafés

D.compare attitudes to a law, held by people from different countries

观点态度题。解题的关键是要看作者在文中用了什么样的口气。若用褒义词，显然是赞成;若用贬义词，显然是反对;若客观陈述，则是中性的立场，不偏不倚。因此，同学们在做这种题目时，应注意其中所使用的一些形容词，另外，我们可以寻找文中的转折词，一般转折词后面的文段表明了作者的观点。再有，可以从首段和末段中找到关键词来揣摩作者观点。比如35题，文章属于客观陈述，但是首中的“cherished”和末段中的“miss”表明了人们对于在咖啡可禁烟这以法律的不认同，侧面反映了作者的态度。

阅读填空是新课标英语高考的新题型。掌握这种题型的解题技巧和方法至关重要。下面结合本题介绍一下解题技巧。1)从意思上判断：在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。本题中的40题就是根据前后句的逻辑意思进行判断的。要填入的句子必须和前后的语境一致，保持表达的顺畅。

2)从词汇上锁定线索：做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感，最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。本题中的36、37、38和39这四个小题，就用定位关键词方法很凑效。36题中，文章中的desktop和选项中的desktop对应;37题中，quiet和选项的quiet相对应 ;38题中，necessary materials和选项中necessary materials相一致;39题中，other sources与选项中的extra materials相一致。掌握这种方法解题往往可以事半功倍。
