Officials from the university are reluctant(不情愿的) to give interviews. “We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan, head of HUSTs center for research and guidance for students development. “Media coverage(报导) may arouse some students negative emotions again. Suicide can be contagious(传染性的),” Zhang said. The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23. Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression. Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them. Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings. Leaflets(传单) carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm. However, the second suicide came seven days later. Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didnt see anything to indicate suicide. Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didnt know this until the students close friends outside school and their parents unveiled(揭露) the truth after the suicides. According to Zhang, there are only three full-time counselors (心理辅导专家)working in the universitys counseling center for its 60,000 students. He complained: “Its unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students mental problems.” Some universities in the US may be able to offer solutions to Zhangs worries. They have established programs to train students to be the bridge between troubled friends and counselors. At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, at Worcester, Massachusetts, US, young people in the Student Support Network role play to learn how to detect SOS signals from their schoolmates. They also practice how to gently persuade emotionally troubled students to go for professional help. To develop such empathy(同理心), many universities in China have organized campus events to popularize knowledge about mental health. But these are not that attractive to students. Ke Juanjuan, 24, is pursuing a masters degree in English translation at HUST. Ke has found that few of her peers will pay attention to activities about mental health when they are not troubled by it. Rather than bombard students with the words “mental health”, Ke suggested the school organize lectures and workshops concerning study, job-hunting and relationships. She explained: “Students care about these topics. They tend to have problems in these areas and may thus get stuck in depression. “By helping students better deal with these problems, the school can effectively prevent self-inflicted injury and suicide among students.” Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention(干预) to meet an emergency, said Hu Yian. Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University. He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life. “Education for life helps students respect and love life so they wont resort（诉诸） to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu. According to Hu, the principles can be incorporated(结合) into everyday teaching.50. In which column of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage? A. Forum B. Campus C. Advertisement D. Culture 51. Which one of the following is NOT one of the reasons why officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews? A. The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23. B. They had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides. C. Media coverage may arouse some students negative emotions again. D. Two suicides within a week is really a nightmare for the university. 52. The writer mentions Worcester Polytechnic Institute to_. A. encourage universities in China to organize campus events to popularize knowledge about mental health. B. show their students are good at persuading emotionally troubled peers to go for professional help. C. give an example of the universities in the US that have established programs to train students to be the bridge between troubled friends and counselors. D. show that Zhangs complaint is wrong. 53. Which one of the following sentences is NOT true? A. According to Ke Juanjuan, students tend to have problems in study, job-hunting and Relations. B. Effective prevention comes from temporary intervention to meet an emergency. C. According to Hu Yian, education for life helps students respect and love life so they wont commit suicide when they have difficulties. D. According to Hu, education for life can be incorporated into everyday teaching. 54. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage? A. The function of education for life. B. The ways of education for life. C. The importance of education for life. D. How to incorporate education for life into everyday teaching. 参考答案50-54 BACBD *结束 B（文章选自 题目）For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boys father told his son to go in another boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits(饵) were fresh tunas(金枪鱼) the boy had given him, as well as sardines(沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water. As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune. Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired . It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By dawn his left hand was cramped(抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight. Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.That morning the fish jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon. Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon(鱼叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor. An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust(刺) it with the knife. The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller(舵柄) from the boat, but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin. All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep. 55. The above story is adapted from _. A.

Because a small tuna took the hook on his line. B. Because he dreamed about the American lions. C. Because he saw many flying fish were chased by the dolphins. D.

He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia.61. _WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. Its beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I dont think anyone has ever done this before in the hip hop world. 62. _ WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And its really exciting so I decided that Im going to need a studio in New York. Im going to need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.63. _WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know.

Acting, every day you get called and youre surrounded by other actors and creative people.64. _WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was likeI didnt know I could make this happen. I didnt know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence. And I dont want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs confidence.65. _WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it and a blog. In the entertainment news, theres a recent trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet and saying “Oh, so and so saw so and so.” when they see a blog. You know, its completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title of the newspaper article. 参考答案61-65 BFCAD*结束第II卷第三部分：写作（共二节，满分40分）第二节：书面表达(满分30分)（）请根据下图写一篇100-120个词的短文。你的短文应包括下列要点：1. 简要描写图画内容；2. 说明图画含义；3. 谈谈你的看法。注意：短文的开头已给出（不计词数）。 As is shown in the picture above, 参考答案及评分标准第三部分：写作第二节：书面表达 As is shown in the picture, a boy is shouting at his dad, who looks upset, not knowing what to do with his son. It seems that they dont get along well with each other. Nowadays, many families with teenagers face such a problem, which is extremely bad for the growth of a child and the harmony of a family. For example, quarrels can often be seen when parents attempt to prevent their child doing what is not suitable in their opinion, such as playing computer games, because the kid is unwilling to do it as told. What has caused the frequent conflicts between them? There can be many reasons, of which, I think a lack of understanding and communication is the most important one. It is inevitable that disagreement between parents and kids will appear. However, if we learn to communicate with each other peacefully and equally, a harmonious relationship can be easily born.书面表达评分原则： 1上文仅为参考范文，学生可用不同的语言表达形式来表述要点。内容必须包括三个部分：描述，寓意和观点。2本题总分为30分，按以下5个档次给分。评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。第一档：(16分)只能写出一两个要点；语言错误很多，只有个别句子正确；第二档：(712分)能写出部分要点；语言错误多，影响意思表达；第三档：(1318分)能写明基本要点；语言虽有较多错误，但能基本达意；第四档：(1924分)能写明全部或绝大部分要点；语言有少量错误；行文不够连贯，表达基本清楚；第五档：(2530分)能写明全部要点：语言基本无误；行文连贯，表达清楚。 3词数少于80的，从总分中减去2分。 4评分时，应注意的主要内容为：时态、人称、内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的数量和准确性、上下文的连贯性及语言的得体性。 5拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。6如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。
