Passage 1
Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually lasts between
a few minutes and a few hours. 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 think there’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.
6. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the
passage?
A. Talk to friends. B. Just ignore it.
C. Go to see a doctor. D. Ask your teachers for
guidance.

.
A. temporary loneliness B. situational loneliness

.
A. one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contacts.
B. we depend on various people for different reasons
C. lonely people don’t have many social problems
D. lonely people don’t have many friends
9. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.
C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D. Chronic loneliness is a harmful to society.
10. What is the best tile for the passage?

第二部分：阅读理解（共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分）
Passage 1
Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some
specific regular activity. It may be a free period or a regular
wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating
breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at
least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each
night. Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no
difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it
is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book
in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains
you and the English must not be too difficult for you.
Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some
timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he
is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5
or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.
Check the average number of words per page for the particular book
you are busy reading. Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can
help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing
distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace
yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of
easy, general interest book. You should soon notice your habitual
w.p.m. rate creeping up.
6. The passage recommends setting aside for reading
practice.
A. two hours a day
B. one hour a day
C. 15 minutes or half an hour a day
D. three minutes a day before meal
7. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read
.
A. 15 minutes at 10 pm each night
B. for at least 15 minutes at bedtime
C. no matter it was early or late
D. whenever he had a spare moment
8. It is a good idea always to carry in your packet
.
A. a book you will never forget
B. a serious book
C. several books of various kinds
D. an easy and interesting English book
9. According to the passage, a “pacing” device
.
A. measures a student’s reading speed
B. is not included in most speed reading courses
C. is an aid to vocabulary learning
D. should be used whenever we read alone
10. Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes
.
A. avoids the need for reading faster
B. is not the same as pacing
C. is not easy at first
D. helps you to remember the page number you were at last time
Passage2
Old Japanese living alone can now hire a “family” for lunch and a
few hours’ pleasant talk. Just give them a telephone call and ask
for, say, a daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. They will show up
at your door, and greet you emotionally as if they hadn’t seen you
for years.
Some 15 couples have so far hired “families”. “We have nearly 80
people on the waiting list.” Said the president of the company that
offers such services, “What is common about these senior citizens is
that they are thirsty for human love. We are helping them make their
dreams come true.”
Where once big families with three or more generations living
together were common, now numbers are reducing fast. In cities there
are very few indeed. Many old people see their families only rarely,
if at all. This may be because the children’s bosses have sent them
to a distant city, even abroad, or just because busy family members
cannot find time to visit their parents.
“We’ve seen many cases in which parent-children relations are not in
a happy state,” company president continues. “When a son finally
visits his parents after a long while, it is often just to ask for
money or for them to let him have their property(财产)early.”
Loneliness is not a one-way street. “One young mother came to us to
ask about grandparents,” he added.
The company is now developing into other fields. Their services
include providing “employees” for businessmen to scold and “lovers”
for young people unlucky in love. Company’s “lovers” for hire is not
a service to be misunderstood, company president makes clear.
“You shouldn’t think about our lover too romantically,” he said,
“She’s there to act as an adviser on how to find a girlfriend.”
11. Old couples in Japan hire family members
.
A. to ask for help when they are ill
B. to realize their big-family dreams
C. to seek love and comfort
D. to strengthen parent-children relations
12. In the sentence “what is common about these senior citizens is
that they are thirsty for human love”, “senior citizens” could best
be replaced by .
A. high-ranking officials in cities
B. rich old couples living in cities
C. respectable ladies and gentlemen
D. old people
13. Which of the following is not the reason that Japanese
grown-ups seldom visit their parents?
A. They are too busy.
B. They work in distant cities.
C. They can’t afford expensive visits to their parents.
D. Their relations are not very tight.
14. “Loneliness is not a one-way street” means that
.
A. both the old and the young will feel lonely
