7.Ever since Canadian psychiatrist Michael R.Phillips,who works in China,released his report saying China's suicide rate from 1995to 1999reached 0.023percent,the country has been ranked among those with the highest suicide rates in the world.But Jing Jun,a professor of sociology in Tsinghua University,challenges that view and presents the true picture through his nationwide research.Jing and his students took one year to set up the first national database on suicide rate to grasp the overall trend of suicides in China.They collected data from the Health Statistics Annuals of the World Health Organization (sample size 10million),and the country's Health Statistics Annuals (which cover 100million people).The database covers 23years,from 1987to 2009.Jing calculates the suicide rate in China based on these data.Though the suicide rate was comparatively high in the early years,his study shows it has dropped in recent years,as opposed to the ascending trend in the rest of the world.
According to Jing's calculation,China's suicide rate had dropped to about 0.01percent in 2004.In 2009,the figure dropped further to 0.007percent,which is rather low compared with the global rate of 0.016percent.Even if the"missing"suicides were added,China's suicide rate in 2009would still be below 0.008percent.
Jing has found that one of the main reasons why the suicide rate has dropped was the steady and big decline in the number of suicides committed by rural women.In the early years,researchers generally agreed that the suicide rate among Chinese women was higher than among men,which is pretty rare in the rest the world.But the suicide rate among Chinese women,especially in rural areas,has declined remarkably in recent years.In fact,it is almost equal to that of Chinese men.
As a sociologist,Jing regards suicide as a social issue,and believes improvement of social policies will reduce the suicide rate even further.More people's lives can be saved if the authorities adjust to social environment for the better,he concludes.
41.From Jing's search,we can seeC.
A.China has been ranked among those with the highest suicide rates in the world
B.in the rest of the world suicide rate has been rising quickly in the last few years
C.different from Michael R.Philip's idea,the trend of suicides in China is declining

42.The data in Para.2is mainly to prove thatA.
A.the result from Jing's research is believable
B.Jing's research is more complicated than Michael R.Phillip's
C.Jing has made great efforts to make the research
D.China's suicide rate was comparatively low all the time
43.Why has the suicide rate in China dropped steadily according to Jing Jun?C
A.Because the life level of Chinese people has improved a lot.
B.Because China's government has adopted measures to reduce the suicide rate.
C.Because the number of Chinese women who commit suicide has declined.
D.Because the world environment affects the suicide rate in China.
44.In Jing's opinion,what should be done to reduce the suicide?B
A.Pay more attention to rural women.
B.Continue to improve social environment.
C.Set up more mental health centers.
D.Make policies to prevent suicides.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了加拿大精神病学家Michael R.Phillips与景军关于中国自杀率的调查的不同观点,同时分析了近几年中国自杀的数据,告诉我们可知通过改善社会政策来进一步降低自杀率.
解答 41.C 推理判断题.根据第一段the country has been ranked among those with the highest suicide rates in the world可以看出Michael R.Phillips的研究报告中指出中国的自杀率位居世界最高,而由第二段"Though the suicide rate was comparatively high in the early years,his study shows it has dropped in recent years,as opposed to the ascending trend in the rest of the world."可知Jing的研究看出近几年自杀比率已经下降,由此推断两人观点不同,故选C.
42.A 推理判断题.根据第二段They collected data from the Health Statistics Annuals of the World Health Organization (sample size 10million),and the country's Health Statistics Annuals (which cover 100million people).可知本段主要说明Jing及其团队在权威数据库的基础上,进行计算和对比分析得出自己的观点.由此可见这些数据是为了证明结果是可信的,故选A.
43.C 细节理解题.根据第四段"one of the main reasons why the suicide rate has dropped was the steady and big decline in the number of suicides committed by rural women."可知自杀率下降的一个重要原因就是农村女性自杀的数量大幅的下滑,故选C.
44.B 细节理解题.根据最后一段As a sociologist,Jing regards suicide as a social issue,and believes improvement of social policies will reduce the suicide rate even further.可以看出社会政策的改善将会进一步减少自杀率,故选B.
45.B 推理判断题.通读全文可知本文讲解了Jing及其团队所做的关于中国自杀率的研究,由此可以看出这是一份研究报告,故选B.
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
