Su1cide 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, su1cide is much more prevalent than we want to admit.Why do people try to take their own lives?
The motives for su1cide 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(描寫)the typical victim.To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage(掩蓋)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 su1cides.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 su1cide as a solutions to problems is an illusion.The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到這個(gè)程度)as their effectiveness to reduce su1cide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems.So, in the somewhat amorphous(難以名狀的)area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.

答案解析:
1.【解析】C
主題思想題。文章的大意是說(shuō)在目前出現(xiàn)的自殺想象,引起自殺的原因以及提出解決的方法。很明顯在把握文章大意的同時(shí)就知道C是正確的。
2.【解析】A
A的意思是荒唐的。第2段的第一句話說(shuō)明了自殺的相關(guān)原因和動(dòng)機(jī),A文章里面沒(méi)有涉及。
3.【解析】D
A在第一段的中間提到了,B自殺的動(dòng)機(jī)是很明顯的,并且作者列舉了幾個(gè)。C中的ancient times是說(shuō)在古時(shí)候就有了,也不是正確地反映作者的'表達(dá)。
4.【解析】B
A是相關(guān)的意思,C是嚴(yán)重的意思,D是有效果的,有影響的。B的意思是好的慈善的意思。
5.【解析】C
細(xì)節(jié)題。C的含義是說(shuō)人們?cè)谂Φ貛椭切┫胱詺⒌娜,在某種程度上他們已經(jīng)取得了一定的勝利。文章的最后一句就是這個(gè)意思?
