阅读理解

Do you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?

You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared — that it's just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake. Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental(精神上的) health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. "Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but it's not about being mentally alone, "Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January.

And not having friends is connected with physical illness as well. In 2019, for example, scientists studied 2, 800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.

The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases. Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.

"Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器)—a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time, "explained Jaremka, who led the study. The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It won't work to just "tell anyone to go out and find someone to love you", said Jaremka. "We need to create support networks."

(1)、If people feel lonely for a long time, ________.
A、they won't feel happy anymore B、they are hard mentally harmed C、they will find the feeling die away D、they are more likely to fall ill
(2)、What is the meaning of the underlined word "reducing"?

(3)、What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremkas' team?
A、To find out how people fight diseases. B、To prove loneliness hurts the immune systems. C、To research the process of being loneliness D、To see how people's emotions change

 第一节 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题

September 1st is the perfect day to pick up a pen and paper and write a letter to someone because it's World Letter Writing Day. The holiday is created to keep the art of letter writing alive in our digital age(数字时代). 

For a long time, letter writing was the primary means of long-distance communication. However, the appearance of modern means of communication, such as e-mails and text messages, has made letter writing a less popular activity. Few people would like to take the time to sit down and write a letter. 

Even though the new technologies have provided us with much faster ways to communicate, letter writing is still important for a number of reasons. Writing a letter to someone shows them that you really care about them, because you took the time and effort to do something people seldom do these days. Handwriting is also an important skill you shouldn't lose, because writing by hand stimulates(刺激) your brain in a different way than typing and improves your language processing and reading skills. Another reason is that writing a letter forces you to really think about what you're writing. Far too often, we hurriedly send texts and e-mails without really thinking about the influence our words have on the receiver. With a handwritten letter, you are forced to be more careful with the words you choose. 

So, how do we celebrate this day? The best way is to write a letter to someone. It could be a friend or relative who lives miles away, or someone you have lost touch with over time. Of course, you can also just read some famous letters. Whatever you do, please know that letter writing is still worthwhile. 

 阅读理解请阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。

Have you noticed these days the temperature is not so normal?The greenhouse effect(温室效应) is one of the reasons. 

How does it work?

A greenhouse is a building with glass walls. In the daytime,sunlight shines into the greenhouse and warms the plants and air inside. At nighttime,it's colder outside,but the greenhouse stays warm inside. That's because the glass walls of the greenhouse keep the sun's heat inside. 

The greenhouse effect works much the same way on Earth. Greenhouse gases in the air such as CO2 hold heat like the glass walls of a greenhouse. During the day,the sun shines and Earth's surface warms up in the sunlight. At night,Earth's surface cools,giving heat back into the air. But some of the heat is kept by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That s what keeps Earth warm. 

How do humans influence the greenhouse effect?

Human activities are changing Earth's natural greenhouse effect. Burning fuels(燃料) like coal and petrol puts more CO2 into our atmosphere. Too much of these greenhouse gases can cause Earth's atmosphere to hold more and more heat. 

What brings down the greenhouse effect on Earth?

Plants can help a lot. All plants—from big trees to tiny plants in the ocean—take in CO2 and give off O2

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园)on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.

One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village."Who are they? "I asked."They are good men from our government," my grandma replied.

Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.

One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程)was completed, a policy(政策)was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays,people work hard to live in a big city. However,we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选择最佳选项。

Parents often find children watch cartoons for at least three to four hours a day. Studies show that kids start watching cartoons on TV at an early age of six months, and by the time they reach the age of two or three, they become fans of cartoons and they would like to spend much time on them. Is it good for kids to watch cartoons?

Parents often see this as a problem because most of the kids are too crazy about watching cartoons. Parents think if kids spend too much time on cartoons, they won't do well at school. 

Some people think it's good to watch cartoons. They help the working parents the most because parents can do a lot of work when their kids watch cartoons on TV. 

When children watch educational cartoons, they get to learn things. Cartoons also help to improve children's language skills. Educational cartoons help children try different languages. Kids can learn English well with the help of those cartoon programs. At the same time, some kids can learn about the friendship and teamwork from the cartoons. It is good for them to get on well with their friends and classmates. 

So sometimes it is meaningless to stop kids from watching cartoons, but parents should make sure that their kids are watching the right things. 

 阅读下面短文,并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文,使原文的意思连贯、完整。

A. Breathing the air in the city makes you more active.

B. Others usually have to wait for the next vacation.

C. Being by the sea is also good for our physical health.

D. Naturally we often feel so great at the end of a seaside holiday.

E. The sound of them can help us relax and feel free from stress.

F. And if you take your walks on the beach, this is a lot better.

We all love spending time by the sea. Some lucky ones might live on the coast and enjoy the benefits all around the year. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Most of us would say we feel healthier by the ocean. In the past, doctors would actually suggest spending time by the sea to their patients. And research has shown that people who live on the coast are more likely to believe their health is good compared to those living in a city. So how do we benefit, exactly?

Well, to start with, it's great for our mental health. Scientists have discovered that we have something called a blue mind. They have shown that watching, listening to the waves or being in the ocean helps our brains slow down. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}This is why people who have trouble sleeping are often told to listen to recordings of the sound of waves hitting the beach to help them relax at bedtime.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}We go out a lot more when we' re on holiday by the sea. We often become more active on holidays and people who live on the coast are usually more active too. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Walking on sand requires more effort than on the pavement. And the sea air is good for people with breathing problems too. There is less pollution in the air near the ocean and in autumn and winter the air is fresher. This is healthier than the dry air in homes with central heating. It has even been found that the chemicals in sea water may help us have healthy skin.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}We look forward so much to having our next one!
