US authr Henry Rllins nce wrte: “Lneliness adds beauty t life. It puts a special burn n sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes f artists, lneliness never seems t g ut f style. There are paintings that prtray lneliness, sngs that are inspired by lneliness, and many wrks f literature that center arund this theme.
In the eyes f UK ecnmist Rachel Reeves, hwever, lneliness is far frm rmantic. Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s becme a serius prblem in the cuntry.
S just hw serius is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appinted plitician Tracey Cruch as the cuntry’s very first “Minister fr Lneliness”. Her jb is t tackle the lneliness that the cuntry’s been feeling - a prblem which, accrding t UK gvernment research, is affecting mre than 9 millin peple in the cuntry, and is mre harmful t ne’s physical and mental health than smking 15 cigarettes a day.
And the prblem hasn’t just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title f the “lneliness capital f Eurpe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried ut by the newspaper fund that British peple were less likely t get t knw their neighbrs r build strng relatinships with peple than thse frm ther Eurpean cuntries.
“There is smething British abut wanting t deal with prblems yurself,” Christian Guy, directr f the Centre fr Scial Justice think-tank (智囊团), tld The Telegraph.
But this desn’t mean that the prblem nly affects Britns. In fact, we’re all suffering frm lneliness nw mre than ever, in spite f mst f the wrld nw having access t the internet, which has enabled us t be mre cnnected than ever.
What we need, accrding t Kim Leadbetter, sister f the late UK plitician J Cx, is t have “prper human cnnectins”. “Our lives nwadays are s busy. We spend the vast majrity f ur time n ur phnes, n ur laptps. We need t press pause n that and actually sit dwn and speak t human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year.
But the first steps tward fighting this prblem are t accept its existence and nt be ashamed r intimidated (吓倒) by it. After all, withut lneliness, many beautiful paintings, sngs, and literary wrks wuldn’t even exist. And “evil” r nt, being lnely is simply part f the experience f being human.
8、What can we learn abut the UK’s lneliness prblem?
A.The gvernment is wrking t slve the prblem.
B.Mre than half f British peple suffer frm lneliness.
C.The UK became the lneliest cuntry in the wrld in 2014.
D.British peple cmmunicate less with their neighbrs than ever.
9、Accrding t the text, scial lneliness _______.
A.is mainly caused by the wide use f the internet
B.didn’t attract the public’s attentin until recently
C.has becme a prblem wrldwide
D.des mre harm mentally than physically
10、What des Leadbetter suggest ding t cpe with lneliness?
A.Making mre phne calls t ur friends.
B.Stpping the use f electrnic prducts.
C.Accepting its existence calmly.
D.Interacting with the peple arund us face t face mre ften.
11、Which f the fllwing wuld the authr prbably agree with?
A.Lneliness is a giant evil f sciety.
B.Only artists can appreciate the beauty f lneliness.
C.Lneliness is just a nrmal part f ur life.
D.It is hard t find a slutin t scial lneliness.
It is nt uncmmn fr peple t say they have n sense f directin. The sense f directin represents the ability t find ne’s way. In ther wrds, it is abut getting frm pint A t pint B withut a hitch. The jurney begins with determining the initial psitin using landmarks in the envirnment. It’s really abut chsing a rute and fllwing it. It is als a questin f testing that this same rute is the crrect ne, with the mental representatin f space r the help f tls such as maps. Finally, the ability t identify the pint f arrival is bviusly very imprtant.
In a study published in 2009, scientist Giuseppe Iaria, a scientist f the University f Calgary (Canada), wh specializes cgnitive neural (认知神经) netwrks indicated that peple lacking a sense f directin have a special cnditin: Develpmental Tpgraphical Disrientatin (DTD).
The sense f directin requires large neural netwrks fr prper functining, accrding t the expert. Hwever, the fact is that a majrity f peple are unable t put a map in their head while n the mve. In her bk Mind in Mtin (2019), Prfessr Emeritus f Psychlgy at Stanfrd University (USA) Barbara Tversky explains hw mst peple d it.
She intrduces a cmbinatin f methds. It’ a mix f turn-by-turn directins, bird’s-eye views and general infrmatin in the frm f maps. Hwever, it shuld be nted that mst medium-cmplexity navigatin (导航) directins depend in part n the ability f peple t understand the perspective f a map. In ther wrds, peple withut a sense f directin fllw a rute in pieces. Thus, they have n expanded understanding fr space and navigate their envirnment withut any mental map f their destinatins.
Hwever, there is a slutin, namely t guide the persn thrugh a series f shrt rutes.
12、What des the underlined phrase “withut a hitch” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.with ease.B.by neself.
C.in a shrt time.D.withut hesitatin.
13、What is the cause f ging shrt f a sense f directin?
A.Being unable t put a map at hand.
B.Expanded understanding fr space.
C.Neural netwrks’ imprper functining.
D.Lack f guiding thrugh shrt rutes.
14、What culd be a challenge fr smene withut a sense f directin?
A.Reading a map.B.Frming a map in mind.
C.Fllwing a rute in pieces.D.Finishing a series f shrt rutes.
15、What can be inferred frm the text?
A.Peple with a sense f directin dn’t need a map.
B.Having n sense f directin is merely an excuse.
C.Mst peple have lng rutes in their mind.
D.Mental map cntributes t the sense f directin.

16、答案：①-⑤ADGCE

②根据前句"While feelings f envy and lack f cnfidence seem t be human nature,scial media seems t have added fuel t the fire.(嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性，而社交媒体似乎在火上浇油。）"和后文"Scial media, with its built-in appeal, allws us t share nly the best presentatins f ur life, while leaving ut the mre bring aspects.

③根据前句"Cnsider yur wn scial media psts.(考虑一下你自己的社交媒体帖子。）"和后文"Well,s have thers. And what they've left hidden is the fact that bredm, lneliness and unpleasant chres are an unavidable part f everyne's life,and yu're nt the nly ne feeling left ut.(其他人也是如此。而他们所隐藏的事实是,无聊、孤独和不愉快的家务是每个人生活中不可避免的一部分，你不是唯一一个被忽略的人。) "可知，呈现在社交媒体上一般都是经过选择过的，代表生活美好方面的。所以选择项G "Have yu ever chsen phts that lead thers t the rsiest cnclusins abut yur life?(你有没有选择过一些照片，让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论？) "符合上下文语境。故选G。
④空处为本段主题句,根据后文"Yu may nt be a regular at fancy parties r a climber f dizzying peaks,but yu have yur health,a place t live and real friends wh appreciate yur presence in their lives.(你可能不是高档派对的常客，也不是攀登令人眼花缭乱的高峰的人，但你有健康的身体，有居住的地方，有真正的朋友，他们会欣赏你在他们生活中的存在。) "可知，本段主要介绍要学会欣赏积极的事物。所以选择项C "Learn t appreciate the psitives.(学会欣赏积极的事物。) "符合上下文语境。故选C。
⑤根据前句"We are all flded daily with phts f ther peple's perfectins,but really,what des it matter?(我们每天都被别人完美的照片淹没，但说真的，这有什么关系呢?) "可知，我们不能社交媒体上的完美照片的影响，因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选择项E "They are prbably n mre real than the funniest reality TV shw.(它们可能并不比最有趣的电视真人秀更真实。）"符合上下文语境。故选E。

32、答案：①what②intrductin③is classified④mre valuable⑤purpses⑥but⑦That⑧telling⑨t punish⑩after
解析：①句意：它对于中国文化很重要，很大程度上是由于它所代表的内容。空格处所填词引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语，表示“……的事物”，故填what。②句意：下面是对玉石的一个简短的介绍。空格处所填词被形容词brief（简短的）修饰，应填名词，intrduce意为“介绍”，是动词，名词是intrductin，由不定冠词a可知用单数，故填intrductin。③句意：玉分为软玉和硬玉。句子主语jade（玉）和classify（分类）是被动关系，句子要用被动语态，结构为be+动词过去分词，句子主语jade是第三人称单数，根据句意可知句子要用一般现在时，故填is classified。④句意：一种硬玉在中国被称为翡翠，现在比软玉更有价值。由than（比）可知此处要用形容词的比较级，valuable意为“有价值的”，是形容词，其比较级是mre valuable，故填mre valuable。⑤句意：中国玉自被发现以来，一直被用于实用和装饰的目的。purpse意为“目的”，是可数名词，此处表示泛指，所以要用复数，故填purpses。⑥句意：中国人喜爱玉不仅是因为它的美学之美，而且因为它代表了社会价值。nt nly…but（als）…，不仅……而且……，是固定搭配，故填but。⑦句意：玉在中国文化中是如此的根深蒂固，以至于有许多关于玉的故事。s…that…，如此……以至于……，是固定搭配，故填that。⑧句意：其中最著名的故事是何氏之璧，讲述了何先生发现一块未加工的玉石，并试图将其送给两代国王的故事，但国王们不认为这是无价之宝，于是砍掉他的脚，来惩罚他想用一块不值钱的石头来冒充真玉。空格处所填词作定语，修饰stries（故事），且与stries是主动关系，故用现在分词作后置定语，故填telling。⑨句意：其中最著名的故事是何氏之璧，讲述了何先生发现一块未加工的玉石，并试图将其送给两代国王的故事，但国王们不认为这是无价之宝，于是砍掉他的脚，来惩罚他，试图用一块不值钱的石头来冒充。空格处所填词表示目的，故用不定式作目的状语，故填t punish。⑩句意：后来，大王文王的孙子让他的珠宝商把这块石头切开，发现了未加工的玉石，玉石被雕刻成一个圆盘，并以何先生的名字命名。name after，以……命名，是固定搭配，故填after。
