Passage 3 How to Use London Telephones 1. Telephone calls in Britain are in two classes: local calls, and trunk calls. Short distance calls of up to about twenty miles are classed as local calls, and all calls over longer distances are classed as trunk calls. 2. In London, telephones now have all-figure numbers which do not include an exchange name: for example, 071-222-2870. If you make a local telephone call in London to a subscriber in London, you leave out the 071 and dial only the last seven figures of the number of the person whom you are calling. To make a trunk call to or from London, you dial all the figures of the subscriber’s number. 3. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of subscribers in inner London are at present printed in four directories. There are separate directories for people whose names begin with the letters A to D, E to K, L to R and S to Z. When you look up a person’s number in the telephone directory, you will find his name on the left side of the column and his telephone number on the right side. 4. All call-boxes in London are on the STD system, which has now been extended to all parts of Britain. The letters STD stand for Subscriber Trunk Dialing, and on this type of telephone you can dial many long-distance numbers direct as well as local numbers.

Part IV Questions 31-35 are based on Passage 4. Passage 4 If you smoke-particularly cigarettes,you are far more likely than a non-smoker to suffer or die from several major diseases-notably lung cancer. One smoker in four dies prematurely()because of his smoking.The risk of dying for a heavy smoker(between the ages of 35 and 55)is roughly equal to the risk run by a non-smoker,10 years older. Cigarette smoking-and to a lesser degree pipe and cigar smoking-may aggravate (or be partly responsible for the development of a wide variety of other diseases,which include cancers of the mouth and throat,peptic ulcers )and loss of teeth. Women who smoke during pregnancy produce babies on average about 5 to 8 ounces lighter than those who don't. Take lung cancer for example: Britain's lung cancer figures are the highest in the world,and rising.Ninety people die every day,33,000 in 1969.Almost all these deaths can be attributed directly to tobacco smoking.The prospects of a cure for lung cancer are,at present,remote, and it is impossible to estimate when,if ever,someone will find one.You would be foolish to rely on someone finding a cure before you needed it.One man in eight who dies between the age of 35 and 64 is killed by lung cancer.The figures for women in this age group are lower,about 1 in 20.This is partly because women smoke less,and have not smoked as long.But the figures are still very high.

Passage 4 If you smoke – particularly cigarettes, you are far more likely than a non-smoker to suffer or die from several major diseases – notably lung cancer. One smoker in four dies prematurely(过早地) because of his smoking. The risk of dying for a heavy smoker ( between the ages of 35 and 55) is roughly equal to the risk run by a non-smoker, 10 years older. Cigarette smoking – and to a lesser degree pipe and cigar smoking – may aggravate (使恶化) or be partly responsible for the development of a wide variety of other diseases, which include cancers of the mouth and throat, peptic ulcers (胃溃疡), and loss of teeth. Women who smoke during pregnancy produce babies on average about 5 to 8 ounces lighter than those who don’t. Take lung cancer for example: Britain’s lung cancer figures are the highest in the world, and rising. Ninety people die every day, 33,000 in 1969. Almost all these deaths can be attributed directly to tobacco smoking. The prospects of a cure for lung cancer are, at present, remote, and it is impossible to estimate when, if ever, someone will find one. You would be foolish to rely on someone finding a cure before you needed it. One man in eight who dies between the age of 35 and 64 is killed by lung cancer. The figures for women in this age group are lower, about 1 in 20. This is partly because women smoke less, and have not smoked as long. But the figures are still very high. Directions:
