18、o kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by today s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives?The motive
19、s for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure, wrath, the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical victim. To make the problem even more involved
20、, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.In the U. S. , a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides. People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact worke
21、rs at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers , offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solution to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, in so far as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are m
22、inimal. However, they have helped a lot of people with a variety of problems. So, in the some-what amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.36 Which of the following arguments is TRUE according to the article?（A）The classical Greeks did not know the existenc
23、e of suicide.（B） Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.（C） In today s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide.（D）Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past.37 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide?（A）Insanity.（B） Pre
24、ssure.（C） The need for attention.（D）Great anger.38 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）People who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings.（B） It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide.（C） Suicide has been a problem in most cities since anc
25、ient times.（D）People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics.39 The word “benevolent“ (Line 3, Para. 3) means_.（A）relevant（B） kind（C） serious（D）effective40 The third paragraph mainly tells us that_.（A）a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide（B） a network of cent
26、ers help the callers to realize that suicide is a common social problem（C） people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successful（D）in the US, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get helpTask 2Directions: This task is the same
27、as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.40 Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problems in the form of an unfavorable trade balance (贸易逆差) with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country s imports exceeds that of
28、its exports. For example, if a country buys $ 250 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $ 100 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit is $ 150 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industria
29、l capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency (货币) out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and
30、 obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in US industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and ma
31、terial costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.41 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Several worldwide economic problems.（B） The causes and consequences of trade deficit.（C） Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries.（D）Th
32、e value of exports against imports.42 According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur?（A）When a country has serious economic problem.（B） When a country sells more products overseas than it imports.（C） When the value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of the produ
33、ct it exports.（D）When a country cant develop its natural resources.43 The word “deficit“ (Line 4, Para. 1) would be best replaced by which of the following?（A）shortage（B） situation（C） increase（D）products44 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?（A）Low labor
34、and material costs in Asian countries.（B） A lack of natural resources.（C） An underdeveloped industrial base.（D）The high cost of exported items. 45 It can be inferred from the passage that American industries_.（A）do not pay their workers sufficient wages（B） are hurt by a trade imbalance（C） import lab
35、or and materials from overseas（D）provide a strong industrial base that prevents a trade deficitTask 3Directions: The following is a passage.
