       In late March, Southwest University became the first school in China to open a 24-hour hotline providing suicide-prevention counseling．

       College suicide is a heart-breaking and argumentative topic．Chinese college students have long been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and, most importantly, bright futures make them the envy of society．

       However, in recent years, we've read more reports of student suicides．Perhaps that's simply because of society's attention with youth．But it could also signify the increasing troubled mental state of college students．

       Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides．Not surprisingly, the top factors usually include psychological and physical sickness, emotional trouble and peer pressure．Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor: many students say they feel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market．

       Thankfully, more and more universities and colleges are providing counseling services to address students' mental and psychological problems．These at least offer some comfort to students facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties．

       From appointing in-house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students to help their troubled peers, many universities are making efforts to fight student depression．There is no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helping students and saving lives．

       However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves．Whatever efforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask for help．Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help．By shutting themselves away, they can easily fall into vicious cycles (恶性循环), becoming even more easily hurt to personal

difficulties and the pressures of the outside world．

       While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreach programs as a step forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help．These dangers are a reality for every

student, not only those who feel confused and depressed．

63．Why are there so many students that commit suicide?

       A．Because of psychological and physical sickness．?

       B．Because they feel hopeless and confused about their future．

       C．Because of the emotional trouble．

       D．All of the above．

64．According to the article, all of the following are right except ____．

       A．No university in China had a whole day hotline about suicide-prevention before March．

       B．Many people envy the college students their bright futures．

       C．The students who feel confused and depressed may need psychological education．

       D．The problems of student suicides indicate the increasing troubled mental state of youths.

65．The key to avoid student suicides is that ____．

       A．parents communicate with their children and understand them

       B．colleges and universities offer more help to students

       C．students themselves realize their problems and seek help from others

       D．friends give more comfort and show more understanding to the problem students

66．Which of the following can be the main idea for this article?

       A．Help is at hand for suicidal students．

       B．More college students commit suicide．

       C．How can students avoid committing suicide?

       D．Why do college students feel depressed?

第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.

“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”

Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.

Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue int0 adulthood.

No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”

But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”

Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.

“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”

A. interest         B. Distance        C. Difference         D. separation

42. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?

A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.

43. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is ____   _____.

A. more confusion among parents

B. new equality between parents and children

C.1ess respect for parents from children

44. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.” the author means that today’s parents ___   _____   ____   _  _  ___.

A. follow the trend of the change  

B. can set a limit to the change

I've cheated in school when I thought that I could get away with it. I'm not proud of it and I don't usually feel very good about myself afterward, but sometimes it's the only way possible to survive in a pressure cooker. My parents are really set on my getting good grades. They study my report card the same way they examine the newspaper's stock market page. And they make me feel that I've got to live up to their expectations.

But often it's like each teacher acts as if his is the only subject we have. They think nothing of piling on our homework or giving surprise quizzes. Sometimes we have to take two or three tests in different subjects on the same day. I'd like to see a lot of adults I know preparing for that.

When the pressure becomes too high, some kids may resort to(诉诸于) cheating. If you have three or four subjects to study for, you're not going to be able to devote enough time to each subject in order to be well prepared for each class. Besides, it may be the only way left to live up to your parents' expectations and compete with the top students in the class.

Everybody knows that if you cheat, it's important not to get caught. Few things can cause more of chaos. Once, my elder brother got caught cheating on a math final. My parents acted as though he'd committed a federal crime. The assistant principal called them to school, but although the incident caused several conferences, I don't think that anybody ever really understood what my brother was going through. We're just supposed to perform outstandingly as well as always act honestly, but how many adults can actually live up to the standards they set for us?

My father has gotten countless traffic tickets for parking in no parking zones or for not coming to a full stop at stop signs.And you're always hearing about people who don't file their income tax honestly.How about all the corruption in government?Successful adults often accept dishonesty in order to achieve their business goals.Are kids the only ones who are supposed to be perfect?

Most of my friends have cheated on tests in school at one time or another. The kids who never cheat are usually either afraid of getting caught or just don't know how to do it safely. Nobody wants to cheat. But if it's a choice of being honest or of getting a grade, most kids will try for the A. That may sound wrong, but we didn't make the rules, we're just trying to get by.

77. What is the best title of this passage?

      A. No one wants to cheat      B. Everyone likes to cheat

      A. his father always cheats in his life

      B. kids are always supposed to be perfect

      C. all the adults can not live up to the standards they set for children

      D. children shouldn't learn from successful adults
