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 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 problemsand 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 zhangs 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 peopleespecially zhangs fansto shake off their sorrow quickly, learn a lesson from their idols tragedy, find a release from the pressure of their lives and value their priceless lives.31. 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 accidentally.32. what

country. b. suicide only takes a small part in the deaths of young adults. c. it 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.34. 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 zhangs 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.35. whats the best title of the passage ? a. the end of a famous starb. depression caused the tragedy c. how to face suicided. a perfect end of lifeb how should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通货膨胀)? left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the stock market. today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. here i am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which i personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. i sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. the planet earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. it has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. this creature is the real master of earth and men are its slaves. whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. they were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. so it seems that the first clocks were human beings. however, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. they learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. they marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past. antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. after all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?36. according to the passage, collecting antique clocks_.a. can hardly keep the value of your savings b. will cost much of your savingsc. may increase your wealth d. needs your bravery37. by quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to_.a. suggest human beings are controlled by a clockb. describe why clocks can rule the planet earthc. tell readers what clocks look liked. compare chicks to human beings38. which of the following is not mentioned as a way to measure the time?a. counting the beating of ones own heart.b. making use of candles, sand and water.c. observing shadows cast by the sun.d. keeping slaves busy day and night.39. the underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 meansa. state-owned housesb. houses in very good conditionc. grand houses open to the publicd. houses where statesmen meet regularly40. the purpose of the passage isa. to introduce the culture of antique clocksb. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocksc. to compare different ways to make a future profitd. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling timec malaria, the worlds most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的) disease, kills as many as three million people every yearalmost all of whom are under five, very poor, and african. in most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people dont (or cant) seek care. it is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. in countries like tanzania, mozambique, and the gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long. malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. as the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染). they can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. if it doesnt kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. the disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earthand one of the most successful. malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. some of the diseases spread is due to global warming. for decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. if these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.41 according to paragraph 1, many people dont seek care because_.a. they are too poorb. it is unusual to seek carec. they can remain unaffected for longd. there are too many people suffering from the disease42. people suffering from malaria_.a. have to kill female mosquitoesb. have ability to defend parasitesc. have their red blood cells infectedd. have sudden fever, followed by chills43. which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?a. its resistance to global warming.b. its ability to pass on the virus frequently.c. its outbreaks in cities with large populations. d. its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.44. it can be inferred from the passage that_.a. no drugs have been found to treat the diseaseb. the altern
