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 note which newspapers said was caused by emotional(情感的)problems.His death shocked the public and 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 PalmedOr 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 20 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.

  Statistics(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)

(2)

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

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

(3)

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

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

D.

(4)

Capturing the Memories

  Almost everyone has heard of MySpace.com.It allows friends to connect with each other.But did you ever wonder where the idea for this website came from? It is modeled after high school yearbooks.

  A yearbook is a book used to record memories of a specific class.For example,I graduated from Manchester West High School in 2001.My yearbook is dedicated(献给) to my senior class.In this book you will find a picture of all my classmates.

  Alongside your picture,you can put a quote that is important to you.Next to the quote and your photo is a list of your school and sports activities.Later in the book are pages dedicated to teams and organizations.For example,the girls football team has a page of pictures and memories.

  After you receice the yearbook,you go around and have your friends sign it and write letters to you.This will remind you about the many adventures you had with your friends. Although, 40 years ago,a girl wrote a loving message in my father's yearbook but when he showed me it,he didn't remember who the girl was!

  But the yearbook is the final memory for seniors,so it will often be the one reminder of your high school years that you carry with you throughout life.In my mother's yearbook she still has,pressed between the pages,the flower her date gave her at her senior prom. That was in 1967.

  High school is a magical time.It is when we experience many of the important moments of your lives.Our first kiss.Driving for the first time.Our first big success.Out first major hearbreak.Unlike MySpace,which can constantly be updated,a yearbook captures these special moments in our lives and holds on to them forever so that we may never forget.Because,honestly , we will never want to.

  60.What does the passage mainly focus on?

   A.The characteristics of MySpace.com.

   B.The members who set up MySpace.com.

   C.The differences between MySpace.com and a yearbook.

   D.The introduction to yearbooks.

  61.All of the following will be included in a school yearbook except ______.

   A.some interesting stories of famous actors

   B.a picture of classmates

   C.an activity of playing table tennis

   D.some significant successes

   C.A yearbook can help you remember the great moments you shared with classmates.
