    细节题。根据录音,Larry指出阻止人们自杀的常用的方法是“to open a channel of communication with them”,即与试图自杀的人进行沟通交流,故B项正确。
    【录音原文】
      Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge. His job is to save people who attempt to jump into the sea. If the telephone rings at 3 in the morning, he knows it’s trouble. Someone is threatening to commit suicide. Larry will get his things ready. And in no time he will be out the door heading for the spot. “If you aren’t too late,” Larry says, “you climb out onto the cold steel and try to talk to the poor soul and pull him or her back to safety. Many suicide attempts are made on the spur of the moment, and lives can be saved. But if you fail, if the person jumps into the bottomless pool, there is no describing how hopeless you feel.” Often would-be jumpers are driven to the spire and see no hope of getting out of the misery. The trick is to open a channel of communication with them. Following are some tricks that have worked. “Hi. If you are going to jump, at least give me your mum’s phone number, so I can call and tell her. That’s a nice watch. If you are going to jump, can I have it?” Sometimes all it takes is the voice of human being who cares. Larry estimates he has rescued about 30 people in his ten years of service.
    Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. What is Larry’s job?
    2. What is happening if Larry’s phone rings at 3 o’clock in the morning?
    3. What does Larry Smith usually do to stop someone from jumping off the bridge?

    Practice 3  在北京、上海等大城市,越来越多的人已经愿意为心理测试(psychological test)支付费用,在专家的指导下去更理智更科学地去探求“一个真实的自我”。据《北京青年报》(Beijing Youth Daily)报道,在北京大学一次大规模心理咨询会上,居然排起了长队。这个现象无疑说明了两件事:一是中国人对心理咨询的态度正在逐步端正起来;二是文明进步带给现代人的心理压力大到他们无法独自消化的地步,走出来是不得已的。

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    In such big cities as Beijing and Shanghai, more and more people are ready to pay for the psychological test in an effort to exam “a real self” in a more rational and scientific way under the guidance of the experts. It is reported in Beijing Youth Daily that people even stand in a long line in a large-scale consultation. That is no doubt a good testimony to the following two facts. First, the Chinese people come to take a proper attitude to the psychological consultation. Second, the people now in the modern times are suffering so much of the pressure from the advance of civilization that they can not deal with the situation by themselves and have to ask for help from the experts.
