heart-breaking and controversial topic．Chinese college students havelong been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and．most importantly, brightfutures make them the envy of society．However, in recent years, we've read more reports of student suicides．Perhaps that's simplybecause of society's attention with youth．But it could also signify the increasing troubled mentalstate of young people．Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides．Not surprisingly, the topfactors 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 theyfeel 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 toaddress students' mental and psychological problems．These at least offer some comfort tostudents facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties．From appointing in-house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students tohelp their troubled peers, many universities are making efforts to fight student depression．Thereis no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helpingstudents and saving lives．However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves．Whateverefforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask help．Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help．By shutting themselvesaway, they can easily fall into vicious cycles 〔恶性循环〕, becoming even more easily hurt topersonal difficulties and the pressures of the outside world．While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreachprograms as astep forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help．These dangers are a realityfor every student, not only those who feel confused and depressed．53．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．54．According to the article, all of the following are right except___．A．No university in China had a whole day hotline providing

the town centre butunfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied, "You mean fortunately．"He explainedthat I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided．My attitude to the hill has now changed．I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tellmyself the following．This hill will exercise my heart and lungs．It will help me to lose weightand get fit．It will mean that I live longer．This hill is my friend．Finally I comfort myself withthe thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercisebicycles when I call get the same value for free．I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the topof the hill．Problems are there to be faced and overcome．We cannot achieve anything with an easylife．Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree．Her activismand writing proved inspirational．She wrote?"Character cannot be developed in ease andquiet．Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, visioncleared, ambition inspired and success achieved．"One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境〕．Fromtime to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties．Some areof our making but many confront us through no fault of our own．While we cannot choose theadversity we can choose our attitude towards it．Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flyingaccident．He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying acesin the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to othersduring the war．He said, "Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can't do this orthat．That's nonsense．Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches〔拐杖〕or a stick, then havea go at everything．Go to school, join in all the games you can．Go anywhere you want to．Butnever, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible．"The biographies 〔传记〕 of great people are full of examples of how they took steps toovercome the difficulties they faced．The common thread is that they did

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（6）含答案"What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet，there is not too much.“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. "But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures，names matter a great deal.Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives，not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a “Jennifer”more attractive than a“Bertha"，for example. The last name，or，surname，must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic，but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand，people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common，like Fanny or Elmer，sound old-fashioned today. But other names—like John and David，Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.People in Ameica don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead，they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance，a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa，Beth or Betsy. As children grow up，they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called.Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names，like B. J, or R. C. And of course，people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor，like Honey or Sugar. What’s in a name? A world of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself，take care to choose a good one. A made—up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name，either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said，“In real life，unlike in Shakespeare，the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”48．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. People change names in order to be popular with the new generanon.B. Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.C. Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.D. No names can stand the test of time.49．When choosing names，you should stick to the following principles EXCEPT thatA. the impression a name gives is more important than its meaningB. you can name after a well-known personC.surname should be paid attention toD.you can create a name that is special50.The author will name a newly born baby girl________.A． Bertha B. Fanny C. Yunyun D.Elizabeth51. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Names have great significance to Americans.s change when time goes by.C. Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.D.Roses smell sweet by any other name.参考答案 48-51CDDA************************************************************结束It is a common fear among users of Facebook and other social media around the world—how to deal with a friend request from your boss or employee.A survey released on Thursday found that 56 percent of Americans say it is irresponsible to be friends with a boss and 62 percent say it is wrong to be friends with an employee. But 76 percent believe it is acceptable to be friends with a workplace peer，according to the survey of 1，000 people by Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project."When the roles change what do you do then? Do you unfriend someone if they have now been promoted to be your boss or if you’re now their boss，”said researcherKelly Holland. "We get into some really sticky situations there in terms of what people will think is responsible，”she said.When using social media at work，73 percent say it is not appropriate to update your Facebook status，82 percent say you should not upload photos，72 percent believe tweeting is wrong and 79 percent say it is not acceptable to watch online videos. Yet 66 percent say it is fine to check your personal email while at work.“When people focus on responsibility，they know what the responsible thing is to do but whether they are doing that in practice or not is a different story,”said Holland.Americans are split on whether companies should review the social media profiles of job candidates with 52 percent saying it is appropriate and 48 percent saying it is unacceptable. Social media can also lead to some difficult decisions when it comes to family and relationships. Sixty percent of those polled say that it is“completely acceptable" to unfriend an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. More than 40 percent of parents believe it is irresponsible to post photos of children online. Thirty one percent monitor their children's Facebook accounts and almost 70 percent are friends with their children on Facebook or MySpace. But 72 percent limit the time their children spend on social media networks.The poll was taken between January 12一15．52．The text is mainly about________A. social，family and relationships.B. ways of making friendsC. not using social media at workD. action of responsibility53.

Seventy six percent believe it is acceptable to be friends with employee,55. What was the writer’s attitude towards the res ult of survey?A. Defensive.B. Critical.C. Objective.D.

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 don't (or can't) 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 doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease is passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of a parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth and 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 disease's spread is due to global warming.For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has beenchloroquine, 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.56. According to paragraph 1, many people don't 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 disease57. 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 chills58. 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.59. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. no drugs have been found to treat the diseaseB. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most peopleC. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasitesD. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease60. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?A. How can we know one is suffering from malaria?B. How many people are killed by malaria each year?C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?参考答案56-60ACDBD********************************************************结束完形填空Words：308 难度系数：★建议用时：18分钟(2012·山东省名校交流卷)When a rather dirty，poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg __1__ a few coins，do you hurry on，not __2__ what to do，or do you feel sad and hurriedly __3__ some money?

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（3）含答案My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’v e never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, bu t I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.41.

You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remin d customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics the m.”So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear — it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”45. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers’ tipping arementioned in the passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.46. These studies show that _________.A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter’sfactorsB. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics themC. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other groupD. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad47. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the rightchange of the tip percentages?A B C D48. We know from the passage that the writer seems to __________.A. object to Mr. Green’s idea about tippingB. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonableC. give his generous tip to waiters very oftenD. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping参考答案45-48 CBAC******************************************************结束完形填空Words ：266 难度系数：★★ 建议用时：15分钟(2012·山东威海高三质量监测)We always want what we cannot have.When we’re young，we want to stay out late ，have romantic relationships ，and be __1__.However ，when we’re __2__，we wantto go back to being young and we __3__ the days when we didn’t have to worry about complex love affairs ，__4__ pressure ，and money problems.
