suicides（自杀）in south korea has led policeman yoo byong-jong to a new job. he patrols（巡逻）seouls bridges to prevent desperate people throwing themselves into the river. according to south koreas health ministry, suicide rates have doubled in a decade and are now the leading cause of death for people in their 20s and 30s. the country has the fourthhighest suicide rate among the 30 industrialized countries in the organization for economic cooperation and development. it recorded 22.8 suicide deaths for every 100, 000 people in 2003. thats lower than hungary，finland and close neighbor japan . but the number is growing by about 1 percent each year，faster than for all other oecd nations. in a move to cut suicides by a fifth by 2010，the health ministry is running a television ad campaign. it opens with a lonely man walking on a bridge. a voiceover says，“think five minutes more before you give it all away.dont forget you have a loving family.” other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors. authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic(有毒的)chemicals. distressed individuals range from students worried about poor grades to people in debt as well as disgraced politicians. exports say the rising number in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent highprofile suicides. these include top business leaders and celebrities(名人)who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions. “we saved 50 lives this year when people turned to bridges as a place to die after news reports of such deaths by big shots，” said the 38yearold yoo，in december.last july，the government and civil associations urged media to avoid reporting specific methods and locations of suicides. but it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.1. the passage is mainly about _.a. desperation problems in koreab. suicide problems in koreac. how to reduce suicides in koread. the relations between life and suicide答案解析：答案为b。本题为主旨大意题。全文报道了韩国的自杀率问题非常严峻， 当局为抑制自杀采取了一系列的措施，第一段点出话题，最后一段呼应了话题，故答案为b。2. suicide rates in south korea_.a. arouse international concernsb. are going from bad to worsec. didnt draw special attention of the governmentd. have done great harm to the economical development答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。由第三段最后一句话 “but the number is growing by about 1 percent each year，faster than for all other oecd nations.” 可知，自杀率每年在增长，也就是在变得更糟糕，故答案为b。3. lowering the number of reported suicides by celebrities in the media in korea _.a. will be limitedb. damage the fame of mediac. didnt affect peoples daily life.d. might cause fewer people to commit suicide答案解析：答案为d。本题为推理题。由第五段 “exports say the rising number in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent highprofile suicides. these include top business leaders and celebrities who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions.”可知，专家认为自杀人数在上升在某些程度上是归咎于媒体报道的高数据的自杀率，其中包括商业领导要人和名人的自杀引起了人们去效仿他们的行为，可以推断，降低媒体报道的名人自杀人数或许能使较少的人自杀，故答案为d。 4. from the passage, we can infer that_.a. authorities manage websites efficientlyb. present hotlines are not enough for suicide counselorsc. cutting suicides by a fifth by 2010 is easy to carry outd. people choose suicide as the way to end their lives for a lack of love答案解析：答案为a。本题为推理题。由第四段倒数第二句话 “authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic chemicals.”可知，当局限制提供自杀方法甚至卖有毒的化学药物的网站，可以推断，当局有效地对网站进行了管理。故答案为a。由第四段 “other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors.” 可知，由于自杀者众多，因此要建立更多的热线和培训更多的自杀咨询专员来阻止自杀，b选项意思与此不符。从第四段所实施的阻止自杀的措施来看，减少自杀并不容易实施，故c选项错误。由最后一段最后一句话 “but it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.” 可知，d选项错误。【2014高考英语四川省成都市一模试题】 cyou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. but lee gray, phd, of the university of north carolina, us, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. he is known as the “elevator guy”. “the lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” gray told the bbc. “the elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” we walk in and usually turn around to face the door. if someone else comes in, we may have to move. and here, according to gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. he told the bbc what he had observed. he explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. if there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. when a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. and when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. a fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle. new entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone. why are we so awkward in lifts? “you dont have enough space,” professor babette renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the free university of berlin, told the bbc. “usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us. and thats not possible in most elevators.” in such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “the easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.39. according to gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _. a. turn around and greet one another b. look around or examine their phone c. make eye contact with those in the elevator d. try to keep a distance from other people40. which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? 41. according to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _. a. someones odd behaviors b. a lack of space c. their unfamiliarity with one another d. their eye contact with one another42. whats the passage mainly about _. a. bad manners in the elevator b. some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette c. an interesting but awkward elevator ride d. the strange behaviors in the elevator【参考答案】39-42: dcbb 【2014高考英语四川省成都市一模试题】 dby far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. this difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. many students muddle along , doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.few students work to a set timetable. they say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change it frequently, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.no doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. there are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work. many able students state that they work in cycles. when they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time. on other days they avoid work completely. it has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work. most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work. the “ tough-minded ” school of workers doesnt fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally, under the influence of inspiration.those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “ freedom ”. freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “ self-expression ” or “ personality development ”. our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality ( being on time ), and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society, we have to meet its demands.43 the most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is _ .a. changing from one subject to anotherb. the failure to keep to a set timetable of workc. the unwillingness to work out a systematic pland. working on a subject only when one feels like it44. which of the following is true ?a. many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable .b. many students dont like being told to study to a fixed timetable .c. most people over 25 years of age dont work to a set timetable .d. tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally .45. the underlined part “ as the fit takes them ” means _ .a. when they have the energyb. when they are in the moodc. when they feel fitd. when they find conditions suitable46. a suitable title for the passage might be _ .a. attitudes to studyb. a study planc. the difficulties of studyingd. study and self-discipline【参考答案】43-46: babd【2014高考英语四川省成都市一模试题】 ea mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then ron howard isnt among most directors, despite an impressive list of credits, a beautiful mind is his most successful work to date, combining psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.the oscar winning russel crowe has put himself in line for further honors with his acting john nash, the nobel prize-winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia(神经分裂症). a beautiful mind pictures nash as an unusual hero, not just because of his academic achievements, but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness.in 1947, nash was one of many great young minds at princeton. “to find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself.” the proud and determined student declared. his exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. his shyness and straightforward approach brought
