19、ern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by todays standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In todays society, suicid

20、e is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives? The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure, wrath, the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to

21、person, making it difficult to depict (描写 ) the typical victim. To make the problem even more involved, people will often camouflage (掩盖 ) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious. In the U. S., a network of centers has been created to at

22、tempt to prevent suicides. People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solution to problems is an illusion. The ac

23、complishments of these centers, in so far as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal. However, they have helped a lot of people with a variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的 ) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success. 36 Which of the

24、 following arguments is TRUE according to the article? （ A） The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide. （ B） Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world. （ C） In today s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide. （ D） Nowadays suicide is not as co

26、 B） It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide. （ C） Suicide has been a problem in most cities since ancient times. （ D） People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics. 39 The word “benevolent“ (Line 3, Para. 3)means_. （ A） relevant （ B） kind （ C） serious （ D

27、） effective 40 The third paragraph mainly tells us that_. （ A） a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide （ B） a network of centers help the callers to realize that suicide is a common social problem （ C） people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and i

28、n a way, they are successful （ D） in the US, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help Task 2 Directions： This task is the same as Task 1 The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45 40 The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both neg

29、ative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to peoples desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. So

30、me of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money. Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago, a brand of bread was offered to dieters (节食者 ) with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位，卡路里 ) in every slice. It turned out that the bread wa

31、s not dietetic (适合节食的 ), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf. On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumers real concerns, considering fire insurance. Fire insurance may be so

32、ld by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as t

33、he message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising. Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still c

34、ontrol the final buying decision. 41 Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by_. （ A） stressing their high quality （ B） convincing him of their low price （ C） maintaining a balance between quality and price （ D） appealing to his buying motives 42 The reason why the bread adv
