14、ur genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.”可知，新的研究发现，即使你戒烟，它对你的基因造成的损害也会在身体里停留更长的时间。以及下文通过实验说明这一问题的和具体的影响，所以第一段点明了短文的主题，同时第1段的作用也是引起读者的兴趣。故B选项正确。2C细节理解题。由第三段“Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their daytoday lives while doing things like
15、smoking.”可知，有些人可能在出生时基因就已经发生了变化，但大多数人的基因变化是日常生活中如吸烟所导致的。所以大多数人的基因变化是日常生活中不良的生活习惯导致的。故C选项正确。3B词义猜测题。由第四段“Its almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) it will always be there, even when youve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.”可知，这几乎就像在湿水泥上留下一个脚印，即使当你走了，当水泥变干的时候，它会一直在那里。所以第4段中带下划线的
16、“it”一词是指“足迹”。故B选项正确。4D细节理解题。由最后段“the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.”可知，这项发现可以帮助科学家发明药物来治疗吸烟造成的基因损伤，或者找到方法来判断哪些人患有心脏病或癌症。所以D选项“这些发现有助于找到治疗吸烟引起的基因损伤的方法”是正确的。故D选项正确。BMy friend
