35、HICAGO (Reuters) Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皱纹) the face and turn it yellowit can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday. The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the bodyeven skin protected from the sun.“We examined
36、nonfacial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced，” Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said
37、in a statement. “In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years，” Helfrichs team added in their report.The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the
38、inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers.Independent judges decided how wrinkled each persons skin was.When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrichs team wrote.Several previous studies
39、 have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature(过早的)skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke

42、ics of skinC. how long a person smokesD. how long skin is under sunlight解析考查细节理解。由第三段中的the total number of cigarettes(香烟)smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were connected with the number of skin damage(损害)可知A、C两项表述正确；由第六段可知D项正确。文中没有提到皮肤的类型和状况与皮肤老化的联系。 答案B3.

43、m the study_.A. smoking wont make skin protected from the sunB. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organsC. smokers over 65 usually wont worry about their skinD. the age of smokers is not connected with the result of the test 解析考查细节理解。由第四和第五两段可知，不同年龄阶段的吸烟者都存在皮肤老化的问题，即吸烟者年龄与研究的结果无关。故D项表
44、述正确。 答案D4. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because_.A. it will lower blood supply to skin. B. it can make you feel tired C. it can make skin come offD. it can make blood run faster解析考查细节理解。由倒数第二段可知，吸烟能够引起血管变窄，使供应给皮肤的血液减少，因而诱发皮肤老化。故A项为正确答案。 答案A5.

D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging解析考查作者写作意图。作者介绍了科学家们一份新的研究发现：吸烟会对人的身体各方面产生影响，以此来告诉人们吸烟的害处，告诫人们要少吸烟。因此C项符合作者的意图。 答案C高考资源网版权所有，侵权必究！
