22、 Choose among A, B, C, and D or between T and F to answer each question.Passage 1Tobacco was first used by the people of pre-Columbian Americas. Native Americans apparently cultivated the plant and smoked it in pipes for medicinal and ceremonial purposes.Christopher Columbus brought a few tobacco le

23、aves and seeds with him back to Europe, but most Europeans didnt get their first taste of tobacco until the mid-16th century, when adventurers and diplomats like Frances Jean Nicotfor whom nicotine is namedbegan to popularize its use. Tobacco was introduced to France in 1556, Portugal in 1558, Spain

Eight years later, Dr. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hopkins University reported that smokers do not live as long as non-smokers. By 1944, the Amer

29、ican cancer society began to warn about possible ill effects of smoking, although it admitted that “no definite evidence exists” linking smoking and lung cancer.A statistical correlation between smoking and cancer had been demonstrated; but no causal relationship had been shown. More importantly, th

30、e general public knew little of the growing body of statistics.That changed in 1952, when Readers Digest published an article detailing the dangers of smoking. The effect of the article was enormous: similar reports began appearing in other periodicals, and the smoking public began to take notice. T

31、he following year, cigarette sales declined for the first time in over two decades.The tobacco industry responded swiftly.
