This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it’s quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Researchers say there’re three different kinds of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappear quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a result of a particular situation – for example, a family problem, or the death of a loved one. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually doe not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Chronic (长期的) loneliness lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people thinkthere’s little they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal and healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad dangerous condition.B 6.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.21、According to this passage we know that people began to play about one hundred years ago.A：TB：F22、The writer didn't tell us in this passage that basketball was invented in America.

Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one'sfree time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants.Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.26、Which of the following statements is NOTtrue?_________A：People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B：People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C：Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D：Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.27、With the same money ________, one can buya little house with a garden in the country. A：getting a small flat with a garden B：having a small flat with a garden C：renting a small flat without a garden D：buying a small flat without a garden 28、When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ________ has been rewarded.A：living in the countryB： having spent time working in the garden C： having a garden of his ownD：having been digging, planting and watering29、People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.A：their life was meaninglessB： their life was invaluableC：they didn't deserve a happy lifeD：they were not worthy of their happy life 30、The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to________.A：deal withB：do away withC：escape fromD：prevent from三、完型填空Mr. Clarke works in a middle school.

Title: The Impact of Technology on Modern Society。
In the contemporary era, technology plays an indispensable role in shaping various aspects of our lives. From communication to education, from healthcare to transportation, technological advancements have revolutionized the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us.First and foremost, the advent of the internet has transformed the way we communicate. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have connected people across the globe like never before. Instant messaging and video calling have made it possible to stayin touch with friends and family regardless of geographical barriers. Consequently, the world has become more interconnected, fostering cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.Moreover, technology has revolutionized the field of education. Online learning platforms offer a wealth of educational resources, allowing individuals to pursue knowledge and skills at their own pace and convenience. Virtual classrooms enable students to access lectures and participate in discussions from anywhere with an internet connection. As a result, education has become more accessible and inclusive, empowering learners from diverse backgrounds to fulfill their potential.In the realm of healthcare, technological advancements have significantly improved medical diagnosis and treatment. From MRI machines to robotic surgery, innovative technologies have enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of medical procedures, leading to better patient outcomes. Telemedicine has also emerged as a valuable tool, enabling healthcare professionals to remotely monitor patients andprovide consultations, particularly in underserved areas.Furthermore, technology has revolutionized transportation, making travel more efficient and sustainable. Electric vehicles and high-speed trains have reduced carbon emissions and mitigated the impact of climate change. Additionally, ride-sharing platforms have transformed urban mobility, offering convenient alternatives to traditional transportation methods. As a result, cities are becoming greener and more livable, with reduced congestion and pollution.However, despite the numerous benefits of technology, it also presents certain challenges and concerns. One of the most pressing issues is the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not. Inequitable access to the internet and digital devices exacerbates existing disparities in education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Bridging the digital divide is essential to ensure that everyone can benefit from the opportunities afforded by technology.In conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on modern society, revolutionizing various aspects of our lives. From communication to education, from healthcare to transportation, technological advancements have transformed the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. While technology presents challenges and concerns, its potential to improve the human condition is undeniable. Therefore, it is imperative to embrace technological innovation responsibly and ensure that its benefits are accessible to all.--。

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.DepressionDepression is a common type of mental disorder — most people will be affected by depression in their lives either directly or indirectly. Confusion about depression is commonplace: for example, about what depression is and what makes it different from just feeling down. There is also confusion surrounding the many types of depression that people may experience. There have been so many terms used to describe this set of feelings we‟ve all felt at one time or another in our lives, to one degree or another, that it is time to set the record straight.1. Types of DepressionDepressive disorders come in different forms, just as other illnesses such as heart disease. This passage briefly describes three of the most common types of depressive disorders. However, within these types there are variations in the number of symptoms, their severity, and persistence.Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.A less severe type of depression, dysthymia, involves long-term, chronic symptoms that do not disable, but keep one from functioning well or from feeling good. Many people with dysthymia also experience major depressive episodes at some time in their lives.Another type of depression is bipolar disorder, which is characterized by cycling mood changes: severe highs (mania) and lows (depression). Sometimes the mood switches are dramatic and rapid, but most often they aregradual. When in the depressed cycle, an individual can have any or all of the symptoms of a depressive disorder. When in the manic cycle, the individual may be overactive, over-talkative, and have a great deal of energy. Mania often affects thinking, judgment, and social behavior in ways that cause serious problems and embarrassment. For example, the individual in a manic phase may feel elated and full of grand schemes that might range from unwise business decisions to romantic sprees.2. Symptoms of DepressionDepression is characterized by a number of common symptoms. Not everyone who is depressed or manic experiences every symptom. Some people experience a few symptoms, some many. Severity of symptoms varies with individuals and also varies over time.·Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood·Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism·Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness·Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed·Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down”·Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions·Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping·Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain·Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts·Restlessness, irritability·Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders and chronic pain3. Risk Factors of DepressionWhile depression can strike anyone at any time, research has identified several factors associated with an increased risk for depression:Family History —Having an immediate family member with depression increases the risk of developing depression. Other mental illnesses, such as alcoholism in family members, can also increase the risk for depression.Early Childhood Experience — Early childhood trauma, such as loss of a parent before adolescence, child neglect, physical, emotional abuse, and parental divorce are all linked to increased risk for adult depression.Stress — Negative life events, such as divorce, loss of a loved one or loss of employment are associated with increased depression. Research shows that chronic stresses (such as illness, lack of social support and numerous “daily hassles”) are also linked to depression.Alcohol —Depression and alcoholism is often seen in the same patients at the same time. Alcohol is a depressant drug and its presence in a depressed person has serious implications for treatment outcome.Residence —Depression seems to be higher in urban residents than in rural residents. In fact, one study found that depression was twice as common among city dwellers as among those who lived in rural areas.Marital Status —Depression is highest among divorced, separated, or co-habitating people. It is lowest among single and married people. People living alone have higher rates of depression than those living with others do.Work Status — Research shows that people unemployed for six months or more in the last five years had a rate of depression three times that of the general population.Physical Illness —Certain physical illnesses are associated with depression, such as thyroid disorder, hormonal imbalances, chronic viral infections, cancer and heart diseases.Gender — It is estimated that one out of every four women and one out of every ten men experience some type of depression during their lifetime. While women suffer from depression more often and attempt suicide more frequently, men are more successful in their suicide attempts. Women also suffer from unique forms of depression related to their unique biology and life experiences.Age — Most people experience their first episode of depression between the ages of 20 and 40. In fact, the average age of onset of depression is the mid-20s. Alarmingly, recent research shows that the average age of onset is decreasing with each generation. Children, adolescents and elderly persons often display unique symptoms of depression and have specific stressful events that predispose them to depression.Ethnic and cultural groups — The World Health Organization named depression the fourth most devastating illness in the world today and predicted that it would become the second ranked illness by 2020. No ethnic or cultural group is immune. While depression occurs at about the same rate in different groups, ethnic and cultural differences often impact the ways in which their members express their feelings and their willingness to seek treatment.Tobacco — Increased tobacco use has been noted in depressed persons and individuals with underlying or current depressive symptoms are likely to experience mood disturbances when they attempt to quit.4. Treatments for DepressionFortunately, there are many effective treatment options for depression. To be most effective, treatment should be specifically tailored to each individual. That is why a detailed interview by a mental health professional is extremely valuable. Established treatments for depression may include:·antidepressant medications·psychotherapy (also known as “talk therapy” or “counseling”)All of these treatments have been shown to treat depression successfully. The choice of treatment will be determined by several factors, including the type and severity of depression, by previous treatment history, and patient preference. A combination of medications and psychotherapy is used to treat most patients, although mild forms of depression may be treated with psychotherapy alone.Effective treatment is based on an accurate assessment, which identifies the causes of depression in any person. Usually depression is a result of biological, psychological and social factors, and an effective treatment plan is one that identifies all of these and develops strategies to reduce their frequency and intensity.注意：此部分试题1—7选择题部分请用2B铅笔涂到答题卡2上，8—10填空题请在答题卡1上作答。

Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand –- he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists mightsay that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.(1).It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because_______A.most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC. a painter uses shapes and colors instead of wordsD.many painters do not say anything(2).An artist’s choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be ____A. meaningful in themselvesB. merely beautifulC. a reflection of his experiencesD. worth looking at(3).The writer says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject _____.A.carries a message to the publicB. only provides interesting patternsC. has no pattern of formD. teaches the public important truths(4).The writer says that contemporary art contains ______.A. nothing but meaningless patternsB. uninteresting aspects of the worldC. subjects chosen partly for their meaningD. completely meaningless subjects(5).The passage implied that_________.A. A painting is more easily understood than a symphonyB. Art is merely the arranging of shape and colorC. Every artist tries to say something to the publicD. One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying2.After practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons(美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began tofeel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have … Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeonin the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to relycompletely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being acc epted by the American College of Surgeons.(1).Dr. Ginoux was working in _______.A. a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization(2).The application forms must include ___.A. the decision procedureB. a record of all the operations.C. the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments(3).It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux was ____A. a member in that organizationB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America(4).When she was filling the application froms, Dr. Ginoux began to be____.A. realisticB. distinguishedC. perplexedD. decisive(5).When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed because _____.A. she didn’t perform enough operationsB. some operations were unsuccessfulC. she didn’t get advice from the selection committeeD.she was doubtful about her operations3.An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been madeof it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages andrefining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilleddown about 70 feet (21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels ofcrude oil a day.News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were dril ling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD. Kerosene Lamps: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted(2).It can be inferred from the passage that Kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too ________.A. expensiveB. thickC. hotD.polluted(3).Why does the author mention the California gold rush?A. to explain the need for an increased supply of goldB. toindicate the extent of United States mineral wealth C. to describethe mood when oil was first discovered D. to argue that gold was more valuable than oil(4).The word “one” in the second sentence of the last para graph could best be replaced by which of the following words?A. oilB. doorC. storeD. product(5).The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPTA. waxB. gasolineC. KeroseneD. plastic4.Are you planning a vacation? If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to Phoenix, Arizona. For hot temperatures but lots ofrain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or ifyou're a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska. Its winters are very cold with little precipitation. Each of these citieshas acertain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be?Many things in nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, winds affect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents. Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keepthe polar regions from getting overly cold.Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth's climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs. They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic eruptions, for instance, release solid particles into the air. These particles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun's heat. Human activity is another cause of climate change. Air pollution and the reduction of forest cover may have long-term effects on climate.This passage is concerned with things that affect _________.A. precipitationB. climateC. altitudeD. sunspots(2).Change in climate may have caused ___________.A. dinosaurs to dieB. dark spots to form on the sunC. volcanic eruptionD. air pollution(3).The effect of a volcanic eruption on climate may be to make it_________.A. wetterB. dryerC. warmerD. colder(4).To help readers understand how climate can change, the writeruses______.A. examplesB. a story about the seashoreC. order of importanceD. a strong argument(5).Which of the following is the place of greatest altitude on a mountain?A. the foot of the mountainB. 8,500 feet up the mountainC. the top of the mountainD. 15,785 feet up the mountain答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1.
