among students.huang yi was a third-year biology major at guangzhou jinan university. he chose to end his life by jumping off the eighth floor of his apartment building on january 16, according to guangzhou daily.huang left a 100-word suicide note. he wrote that he could not bear the heavy studies and wanted relief from the pressure. huang, the son of a professor, received a good education from childhood.“depression from studies is a major contributing factor to thoughts of suicide,” said wang jianzhong, director of the psychological counseling(心理咨询) center at bejing university of aeronautics and astronautics.according to wang, depression may result from high stress, social isolation(孤立), the recent romantic relationships, or failure to live up to ones own or others expectations.experts say a suicide attempt is a cry for help.“the suicidal person is letting his/her feelings be known.” said qian mingyi, professor of psychology of peking university. qian is also a member of the chinese association of mental health and co-board member of the world council for psychotherapy.qian said huangs note expressed difficulty in easing the pressure from studies.“it once again has alarmed us. we must rethink our educationwhich is now more exam-centred than quality-based,” she said.education on prevention and psychology training are the best ways to help prevent suicides, experts agree.“most people who attempt or commit suicide have shown some warning signs.”said wang . “when you see any signs, discuss the problem openly with him or her to show the suicidal student that someone cares and wants to help.”many universities and colleges have mental care or counseling centers or hotlines where troubled students can turn. but much more is needed, wang said. “few who attempt suicide seek help from counseling centers. the most powerful preventive measure is public education. key people, such as faculty members, tutors and school physicians, need to be trained to recognize risk factors and offer timely help. ”29. the underlined word “suicide” probably means “_”. a. harm oneself b. treat oneself badly c.kill oneself d. defend oneself30. students killed themselves because of _ . a. money shortage b. social isolationc.failure in examinations d. depression from studies 31. according to what the experts say, the best way to help prevent suicides is _ . a. to have a face-to-face conversationb. to satisfy his/her needs properlyc. to analyze the ill effect of his suicide d. to give them education on prevention and psychology training32. the text is mainly about _. a. the reason why students dont cherish their livesb. something connecting with student suicides c. how to avoid student suicides in our daily lifed. the fact that a student suicide has caused great disputes (争论) w_w w.k*s*5 u.co mw_w w.k*s*5 u.c w_w w.k*s*5 u.co m dw_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m since people first sent rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spaceship. but much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart. some things we send into space fall back toward the earth and burn up in the atmosphere. but larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. so there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm. but space junk falling on housetops is not the biggest worry. scientists are concerned about what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the earth. two big things become many smaller things. they then hit other things. the pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles. so what can be done to clean up the space around our planet? marco castronuovo, an italian researcher, talks about sending a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. the satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. when the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. after a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere. mr. castronuovo has proposed using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. one arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. he imagines that each satellite would jump from one large piece of junk to another. he thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. mr. castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.33. much of the space junk _.a. is made up of small pieces of thingsb. is from broken spaceshipc. was thrown by the astronauts d. returns to the earth piece by piece34. scientists are most worried that the space junk _.a. will fall on the housetopsb. will do harm to the atmosphere c. will stop the future space vehiclesd. will burn up in space35. what does marco castronuovo think of his system?a. it can remove space junk completely.b. it can develop robotic technology.c. it can create a large amount of space.d. it can save a large amount of money. 第二节 （共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。five steps to better handwritingsome kids love handwriting, but others hate when its time to put their pen to
