16、ection to high unemployment rates in Japan. Dire statistics show that in the years since 1998, Japans suicide numbers have topped (居于 最高 ) the 30,000 mark (标记 ) annually. Newsweek and Time magazines have both covered the phenomenon, and each time one of the regular Japanese language newspapers comes

17、 out with a higher unemployment figure, they tie them together with the growing suicide problem, and with a great deal of justification(理由 ). There is an unhappy little spot near the base of Mount Fuji called the Aokigahara woods which happens to be one of the most infamous places in Japan for suici

18、dal people to do themselves in. According to figures released by the Fuji-Yoshida police station in Yamanashi Prefecture this year, approximately 78 suspected suicide victims were found hanging from the trees, an increase from the former record of 73 found back in 1998. Statistics from the World Hea

19、lth Organization show that the majority of suicide victims are males from age 40 to the mid-60s. Many of these men committed suicide because of a feeling of dishonoring the family name.

20、 because of their age. 29 What was connected to suicides in Japan in the past several years? （ A） An unhappy spot. （ B） High unemployment rates. （ C） A feeling of dishonoring the family name. （ D） An unhappy marriage. 30 The word “cover“ in “Newsweek and Time magazines have both covered the phenomen

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 34 Birds are warm-blooded, ve

24、rtebrate animals whose bodies are covered with feathers. Other characteristics of birds are: wings; a short tail bone; the visible tail being composed entirely of feathers; a weak or nonexistent sense of smell; no teeth; and keen hearing, despite the absence of external ears. As in mammals (哺乳动物 ),

25、the only other group of warm-blooded animals, the blood in the veins (静脉 ) of birds is kept totally separated from the blood in the arteries (动脉 ). Birds evolved from reptiles, especially from some small dinosaur-relative. Gradually the scales of the dinosaur evolved into feathers, perhaps first for

26、 insulation as the animal evolved from cord to wing blade but later for flight. It is still unknown, however, whether flight developed when a ground-living form began to flap its wings to increase its running speed (like the ostrich today), or when a tree climbing form used imperfect wings to aid it

27、 in leaping from tree limb to tree limb. The evolution from reptile to the bird as we know it concluded about 75 million years ago, at the beginning of the Tertiary period, or age of mammals. The earliest classification of birds relied upon easily recognized external characteristics or upon peculiar

28、ities of behavior or appearance. For example, all web-footed birds were grouped together and all seed-eating birds were grouped together. Since the 19th century and the general acceptance of evolution, however, this method has given way to a sounder and more scientific procedure. Birds, as well as a

29、ll other living things, are now classified in a way that best expresses their blood relationships and lines of descent.

32、aph is about _. （ A） the senses of birds （ B） the classification of birds （ C） the evolution of birds （ D） the characteristic of birds 38 What can we infer from the passage? （ A） All the senses of birds are very keen. （ B） All birds can fly. （ C） The earliest classification of birds was not very sou

33、nd or scientific. （ D） Birds were given a sound and scientific classification from the very beginning. Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.
