It was about 3 a.m. and Harrison-Bentzen was panic. “I came out after a student night out and realized I didn’t have any battery on my phone. I’d lost my friends,” the 22-year-old told BBC Radio 5. She’d also lost her bank card, she discovered, and she had no money.Just then, a homeless man, known only as Robbie, approached the young woman and asked her if she needed help. He reached into his pocket and pulled out all the money he had—loose change amounting to about $4.60. He insisted that Harrison-Bentzen take it to pay fo r a taxi so she’d get home safely.Harrison-Bentzen, a student at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, England, says she refused totake Robbie’s money and found another way to get home. But following her encounter（偶然相遇）with the generous man, she says she couldn’t get him out of her mind.For the next few days, the student searched for Robbie, driving around the streets with her mom and using social media in an attempt to locate the man. In that time, Harrison-Bentzen says she learned more about Robbie and discovered that he actually had a reputation for helping strangers.Finally, after four days of driving around Preston, Harrison-Bentzen found Robbie. She was determined to do something to help change Robbie’s life.So, earlier this month, the student launched a fundraising campaign in Robbie’s name. She explained that she would be spending 24 hours on the streets, so as to “understand the difficulties” that the homeless face on a daily basis.Harrison-Bentzen says she had initially（最初）hoped to raise about $780 with her campaign. Her expectations, however, were quickly blown out of the water. As of Thursday morning, 4,800 people have donated almost $50,000.4. What happened to Harrison-Bentzen in early December?A.

Harrison-Bentzen was a college student when the story was happening.D.

It’s twice as bad for you as being overweight and nearly as bad as smoking. The rising number of people who say they areaffected, across a wide range of ages, is shocking. In reality, you can suffer the ill effects of loneliness even if you are not socially isolated.Comedian Robin Williams made a striking observation in 2014: “I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.” Tracking large groups over time indicates that perceived（感知的）social isolation carries its own risk for morbidity（发病率）and mortality.The perception of isolation—from others of being in the social aspect-is not only a cause of unhappiness, it also signals danger. Fish have evolved to swim to the middle of their group when predators（捕食者）approach, mice housed in social isolation show sleep disruptions and reduced slow-wave sleep and prairie voles（田鼠）isolated from their partners then placed in an open field explore their surroundings less and concentrate on avoiding predators.These behaviours reflect an increased emphasis on self-preservation in the social aspect. For instance, fish on the edge of a school are more likely to be attacked by predators because they are easier to isolate and prey upon. Such observations reflect a more general principle that perceived social isolation in social animals activates neural （神经系统的）, neuroendocrine（神经内分泌的）and behavioural responses that promote short-term self-preservation. However, these responses bring a cost for long-term health and well-being.The range of harmful neural and behavioural effects of perceived isolation documented in adults include increased anxiety, hostility and social withdrawal; fragmented sleep and daytime tiredness; increased vascular resistance and changed gene expression and immunity; decreased impulse control; increased negativity and depressive symptoms; and increased age-related cognitive decline.Sadly, to date, attempts to reduce loneliness have met with limited success. A series of randomized controlled trials showed that they had only a small effect. Among the four types of interventions（介入）examined, talking therapy that focused on inappropriate thought processes had the largest impact. Social skills training, social support and increased opportunities for social contact were much less effective.8. What can we learn about social isolation from the first paragraph?A. It exists mainly among adults.B. It’s the worst risk to our health and long life.C. Its effect is more serious than smoking.D. More and more people are suffering it.9. During perceived social isolation, animals will suffer bad health for ________.A. focusing more on their own safetyB. being separated from their partnersC. adapting to the new surroundingsD. worrying about their lack of food10. The fifth paragraph is mainly about ________.A. causes of perceived isolation.B. treatments for perceived isolationC. bad effects of perceived isolationD. the definition of perceived isolation11. What is the most effective in helping suffers of perceived social isolation?A. Giving them strong social support.B. Communicate more and better with them.C. Get them to attend some training courses.D. Enlarge their circles of social network.DA Chinese consortium（联盟）led by China Railway Corp will participate in bidding for a high-speed railroad linking Singapore and Malaysia in 2018, marking another step in China’s ambitious strategy to export its high-speed railway technologies to Southeast Asia.The consortium, consisting of eight companies including CRRC, China Railway Construction Corporation Ltd, China Railway Signal and Communication Co and Export-Import Bank of China, covers the design, construction, telecommunication, financing, operating and maintenance（维护）sectors for the high-speed rail network.A joint tender（招标）for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail project was issued by the Malaysian and Singaporean government-owned utilities（公用事业）—MyHSR Corp and SG HSR，on Dec 20.According to a joint statement released by the two companies, the potential bidder would be responsible for the design, construction, financing, operating and maintenance of rolling stock and railway systems for the double-track line with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour.The tender is open to all companies, regardless of their location. A tender briefing will be held in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 23, and proposals need to be submitted by June 29. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit （优点）, commercial robustness, financial sustainability and price. The preferred bidder will be selected by the end of next year. The governments of both countries signed a bilateral（双边的）agreement late in 2016 to begin the project. According to the agreement, the high-speed rail link is expected to become operational by Dec 31, 2026, and will cut travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to just 90 minutes.“The move indicates that China’s State-owned enterprises have stopped cruel competition to hurt each other,” said Du Chunbu, a professor of rail transportation at Beijing Jiaotong University. “Instead, they have started to form a consortium to better compete with companies from Japan, South Korea, Germany and Canada by bringing theirspecialties into play.”12. What can we learn about the high-speed railroad?A. It is expected to become operational in about five years.B. It is designed at a speed of 350 kilometers every hour.C. It is a single-track line linking Singapore and Malaysia.D. It will cut travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to one hour.13.

Why do eight Chinese companies join together to bid for the project?A. To invest more money in the project.B. To be able to finish the project ahead of time.C. To avoid fierce competition to hurt each other.D. To guarantee the quality of the high-speed rail project.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?A. China to bid for Malaysia railway projectB. A Chinese consortium led by China Railway CorpC. China to export its high-speed railway technologies to Southeast AsiaD. China to participate in building high-speed railroad linking Singapore and Malaysia第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
