【解析】文章大意：本文通過作者自己很難戒煙的痛苦經(jīng)歷，告訴讀者戒煙很困難。文章還敘述了吸煙的人成癮的原因以及吸煙的害處。香煙里有一種叫作尼古丁的毒，許多人剛開始吸煙，感到難受，過了一些日子他們就習(xí)慣了尼古丁，然后離不開它了。吸煙容易引起癌癥和心臟病，但是戒煙很難，很多人戒了煙不久又吸起來了。所以最好是永遠(yuǎn)不要開始吸煙。

【1】考查上下文理解判斷能力。根據(jù)上文I tried to quit smoking in my hometown，but it was impossible．和Here in the United States，not as many people smoke．可知，Ali因?yàn)榧?/span>鄉(xiāng)的人都吸煙，所以戒煙是不可能的，比較一下，在美國，吸煙的人沒那么多，所以此處應(yīng)是：在這里戒煙要容易得多；故答案選B。

【2】考查上下文理解判斷能力。根據(jù)下文They know it can cause cancer and heart disease．他們知道它會導(dǎo)致癌癥和心臟病，可知，吸煙者知道吸煙有害健康；故答案選D。

【3】考查上下文理解判斷能力。根據(jù)下文The nicotine makes him sick尼古丁使人惡心，可知，前文應(yīng)是：第一次吸煙讓人感到難受；故答案選E。

【4】考查上下文理解判斷能力。根據(jù)下文Many people who quit will soon smoke again.許多戒煙的人很快就會再次吸煙，可知，前文應(yīng)是：戒煙很難；故答案選A。

【5】考查上下文理解判斷能力。根據(jù)前文Soon they become smokers again．可知，很快他們又成為了吸煙者，所以說沒有有效的戒煙方法，因此這里應(yīng)是說，最好的方法就是一開始就不吸煙；故答案選F。
