2017年成人学位英语考试阅读理解强化练习及答案一

来源:233网校 2016年12月19日

Suicide has been a cause of concern 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 today's standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by.

In today's society, suicide 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 a failure, wrath(暴怒), the needfor attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict(描写)the typical victim. To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage(掩盖)their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.

In theUnited States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worded, 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 solutions to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到这个程度)as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide 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.

11.Which of the following statements 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 common as it was in the past

参考答案:C

主题思想题。文章的大意是说在目前出现的自杀想象,引起自杀的原因以及提出解决的方法。很明显在把握文章大意的同时就知道C是正确的。

12.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide?

A.Insanity

B.Pressure

C.The need for attention

D.Great anger

参考答案:A

A的意思是荒唐的。第2段的句话说明了自杀的相关原因和动机,A文章里面没有涉及。

13.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.People who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings

B.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide

C.Suicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient times

D.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics

参考答案:D

A在段的中间提到了,B自杀的动机是很明显的,并且作者列举了几个。C中的ancient times是说在古时候就有了,也不是正确地反映作者的表达。

14.The word "benevolent" means ( ).

A.relevant

B. kind

C. serious

D. effective

参考答案:B

A是相关的意思,C是严重的意思,D是有效果的,有影响的。B的意思是好的慈善的意思。

15.The third paragraph mainly tells us that ( ).

A.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide

B.a network of centers has been quite successful in reducing suicide

C.people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successful

D.in theUnited States, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help

参考答案:C

细节题。C的含义是说人们在努力地帮助那些想自杀的人,在某种程度上他们已经取得了一定的胜利。文章的后一句就是这个意思?
