问题     Most people think cancer is a disease of rich western countries. No longer it is now. More than half of the 6 million people who die from cancer each year are in developing countries. Cancer is now one of the big killers of people over five years of age in the third world.
    The main reason is that the poor are living longer than they used to. As infectious disease such as smallpox and typhoid are progressively contained, the poor die instead from illness associated with middle- and old-age.
    The pattern of cancers among the world’s poorest people is still very different from that of the rich. In industrialized countries people die from lung, intestinal (肠的) and prostate (前列腺的) cancers as a consequence of smoking, alcohol abuse and high fat diets. In the third world the most prevalent forms of cancer are those of the liver, mouth, esophagus (食道) and cervis (子宫颈). These cancers are associated with poor living conditions and undernourishment.
    The World Health Organization (WHO) reckons that the third world problem will get worse as the poor adopt the lifestyle of the rich and become subject to western-type cancers.
    A third of all cancers are preventable and a third are curable if detected early enough. WHO is proposing a worldwide campaign on the link between smoking and cancer. However, an anti-smoking campaign is bound m meet resistance both from governments which raise big revenues from tobacco and from western cigarette manufactures for whom developing countries are an increasingly important market. [br] From the last paragraph we can come to know that ______.
选项 A、The best cure for some cancers is by early detection
B、a worldwide campaign against smoking has yielded a good result
C、cigarette manufacturers are expanding their market in western countries
D、most governments in the world are backing up the anti-smoking campaign
答案 A
解析 此题问从最后一段我们可以了解到什么。A项与最后一段第一句话的意思相符；B项所表示的“戒烟战役的明显成果”从最后一段中找不到根据；C项和D项的意思均与文章内容相反。be bound to do意为“一定会做…”。
