    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　Hong Kong pop star Zhang Guorong, 46, jumped out of a window of Mandarin Oriental Hotel at the start of April, 2003, leaving behind sorrowful fans and suicide (自杀)note which newspapers said was caused by emotional (情感的)problems. His death shocked the public and the incident again brought a serious topic to light—suicide.

    　　Zhang was best known globally for his part in the blockbuster film “Farewell My Concubine, ”where he played a homosexual (同性恋的)Chinese opera singer. The popular 1993 film won a lot of awards including the world-famous Palmed' Or at the Cannes Film Festival. However, such achievements could not make Zhang content with his life. It was reported that long before his death, Zhang had been suffering from depression (意志消沉). His tragedy shows we need to learn how to reduce the pressure from our society by happily and naturally facing life. Depression, a mental illness, and suicide have often been highlighted in the past as serious social problems—and for good reason.

    　　According to experts, about 5 to 10 percent of people are suffering from depression, some of whom are not even aware of the illness. And alarmingly, 10 to 15 percent of people suffering from depression will be likely to commit suicide.

    　　Statisticians (统计学家)also show suicide is the leading cause of death among young adults. It leads to 3. 6 percent of all deaths each year in China, a survey said. Last year, 287,000 Chinese died after committing suicide. The female rate is 25 percent higher than the male rate. For this reason, the media must highlight the negative (负面的)influence of Zhang's tragedy in its reporting. It is shameful to talk too much about his death. Although his achievements in the arts were great, his final choice cannot be praised, let alone calling his death a “perfect end” to a shining life.

    　　The media should guide people—especially Zhang's fans—to shake off their sorrow quickly, learn a lesson from their idol's tragedy, find a release from the pressure of their lives and value their priceless lives.

    1．Why on earth did Zhang choose to kill himself in such a way?

    [　　]

    A．Because he was not as popular as he was before.

    B．Because he was disappointed at his life.

    C．Because he suffered from high pressure from his fans.

    D．Because he dropped out of the hotel accidently.

    2．What does the word “blockbuster” in the second paragraph probably mean?

    [　　]

    A．Most popular.

    B．Very interesting.

    C．Ordinary.

    D．Boring.

    3．From the passage we can know

    [　　]

    A．more men commit suicide than women in our country

    B．suicide only takes a small part in the deaths of young adults

    C．is not right for the media to report the “perfect end” of Zhang widely

    D．people never content with their achievements and life will often commit suicide easily

    70．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．It made little difference whether Zhang died or not among his fans.

    B．It was something happening suddenly- that caused Zhang's suicide.

    C．Not all the people who suffer from depression know their case clearly .

    D．Zhang called on people to make a choice to value their lives.

    　　Environments vary．We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke．This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties．Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life．

    Why People Get Tattoos

    　　Jack lay, quiet and unmoving for thirty minutes while a stranger repeatedly stabbed(刺)him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg．Jack was getting a tattoo．His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that he decided to get one too．Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today．

    　　The desire to be accepted by one's friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does．Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group．Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group．Some of these groups wear only brand –name clothes．Others wear tattoos．When a person's friends are all doing something, that person is more likely to do the same thing．

    　　The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America．A wide variety of media images(人物，图像)show tattoos－people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns．These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status．As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value．

    　　Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings－in other words, to show their individuality(个性)．A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm．Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders．A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life．

    　　As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos．A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform, a sign of fashion or an expression of individuality．The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself．For Jack, it was a mixture of all three．
