But their power could get stronger with age, and even _35_ family relationships.A researcher team from Michigan State University, US, recently discovered the large role friendship

19、s play in our lives. According to the researchers, friendships can “ make a world of difference ” , and even influence how we respondto illness.The research involved two studies. The first one looked at survey data _36_over 270000 participants of all ages from nearly 200 countries. They were asked i

20、nformation about their relationship, health and happiness.The results showed that both family relationships and friendships were linked to better health and happiness _37_. However, as people grow older, friendships become more important than family relationships when it comes to _38_ health and hap

21、piness.In the second study, the researchers _39_ data from a survey of nearly 8000 adults in the US. The study s aim was to explore if relationships are related to chronic health problems.It turned out that friendships play an important role in how older adults feel.If you have supportive friends, a

22、nd you are more likely to be happier and free from health concerns. This goes the other way, too. If your friendships become a _40_ of stress, you re more likely to experience chronic illness, such as high blood pressure and cancer._41_ of these studies show that friendships predict day-to-day happi

23、nessand ultimately how long we ll live, more so than spousal and family relationships, ” William Chopik, lead author of the researcher, told the Daily Mail.For Chopik, this finding was not a surprise. Friendships are optional- we hangon to the ones that make us feel good and 42 those that don t - bu

24、t no onecan choose his or her family. This means it is more challenging to deal with serious and negative interactions from within our families.Friendships help us stave off loneliness but are often harder to _43_ across the lifespan, ” Chopik told VOA.If a friendship has _44_ the test of time, you

25、know it must be a good one-a person you turn to for help and advice often and a person you wanted in your life, “ he added.III. Reading Comprehension （56 分）Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrasesmarked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wor

26、d or phrase that best fits the context.As a new mother, you may be disturbed in the middle of the night by your crying baby. But there is good 45 for all those frustrated mothers, and that is baby sign language. Now, you can 46 communicate with your baby by teaching him / her sign language.47 you de

27、cide to teach your baby sign language, you should proceed slowly.Do not try to make too many 48 at one time that would only confuse your little one. Start with physical objects like toy, bottle, milk where you can show the object. The most important words that the baby should 49 are food, milk, thir

28、st, bathroom, more, etc. Say the word while making the gestures. 50 making the same gestures every time the baby 51 that object or engages in that activity. Within a few weeks, the baby will start using the sign. Introduce a 52 sign, only when he / she has completely learned the previous one. Do not

29、 force the baby, if he/she does not respond to the 53 of sign language.If the baby 54 to the sign language in a positive manner, start adding new signs. You can also make use of 55 books and pictures to teach him/her new signs. It has been observed that babies who master sign language by the 56 of 3

30、, have more vocabulary than other babies of the same age. Baby sign language 57 helps to improve the future communication skills of your child. If you carry on with this exercise, your baby will be able to communicate most of his / her needs and demands successfully. That would mean no frustration f

31、or your baby, 58 for you. Teaching sign language to your baby requires a little 59 on your part. Ifyou manage to do so, life will be a lot easier for you and your baby.45.

34、by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few

35、 hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness （孤独）can last for years. Now researchers saythere are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most commontype. It usually disappears quic

36、kly and does not require any special attention. The second kind,situationalloneliness, is a natural result of a particularsituation-forexample,a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although thiskind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and slee

37、plessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic（慢性的）loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becomingclose to

38、 others. Unfortunately,many chronicallylonely people think there is littleor nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists （心理学家）agree that one important factor in loneliness is aperson s social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We dependon various people for di

39、fferent reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interestsand activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They

40、 question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for tworeasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is connection betweenchronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary andsituational loneliness can be

41、 a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be very sad, and sometime dangerous.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends.B. just ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teacher for guidanceWhy do psychologists want to help chronically lonely

42、people?Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.A, B, and C are all correct.What is the best title for the passage?A.

50、ou are walking alone when your shoelaces somehow becomeunited. But have you ever given a thought to the science behind this problem?Oliver O Reilly, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University ofCalifornia Berkeley, US, began trying to solve this mystery after noticing that hisyoung daug

51、hter could never keep her shoelaces tied. With the help of two of his graduate students, O Reilly ran real -world experiments in search of a reasonable explanation.“ Welooked like crazy academics because wewere just walking the halls of Berkeley watching our shoelaces come united, ” says O Reilly s

52、student ChristineGregg. Sheran on a treadmill so the team could film her shoes to catch the details.They found that shoelace knot failure happens in a matter of seconds, thanks toa complex interaction of forces.The main cause, according to O Reily, is inertial forces. Normally, a strong knot has man

53、y turns, held together by the friction at its center. The more turns there are, the easier it is to keep it tight.However, stomping one s foot could produce an acceleration at the base of theknot. Meanwhile, the laces whip back and forth, pulling at the ends like an invisible hand. Finally, the knot

54、 reaches a point where the acceleration wins over the friction, and it comes undone all at once.“ Once you have a little bit of slip, all the forces change, until the slipgets bigger and bigger, ” said Gregg. At that point, it only takes a bit of movement for the entire knot to come undone.The team

55、also found that acce leration or whipping alone isn t enough. They spent an hour swinging their legs and then stomping on the ground, both with little effect.Next, they built a pendulum machine, added weights to the ends of laces, and swung the knots back and forth. As expected, knots failed more of

56、ten with heavier weights, because the inertial forces were greater.The researchers are confident that their work could shed light on other knotted structures, such as the structure of DNA.“ We re not just trying to figure out whyshoelaces come united, ” Gregg toldNew Scientist. ” We think this could

57、 be applied to anything that uses entanglement.A knot is really just and entangled linear structure.”Which of the following statements is TRUE about O Reilly s experiments, according to the article?He filmed people walking and running to examine the cause of knot failure.He used computer models to d

58、escribe situations of knot failure.He wanted to explain why it takes a long time before shoelaces become untied.He got the idea while teaching his daughter to tie her shoelaces.We can learn from the article that short shoelaces become undone more easilymore friction on shoelaces could keep the knot

59、tightermost knot failures are caused by whipping or stompingheavier shoes are less likely to get untiedWhich of the following statements would Christine Gregg agree with?The heavier the weights added to the ends of laces, the more easily knots untie.The future benefit of the research on shoelaces is

60、 still unclear.People will soon solve the trouble of untied shoelaces.People could stop knot failures by removing inertia force.（ D ）Have you ever been afraid?
