1.

根据第二段“Allofmyclosestfriendswenttoadifferentmiddleschool,leavingmealone.”可知，作者所有的好朋友都去了不同的中学，留下了作者一个人在这所中学，所以他感到孤独。故选C。2.

1.

根据第二段内容和第三段“Habituationistheprocessinwhichneurons(神经元)firelessandlessinresponse(反应)tothingsthatareconstant.”可知，习惯化是神经元对恒定事物的反应越来越少的过程。由此可知，在多次重复的呈现后，我们的大脑对某些事物的反应就会减弱。故选D。2.
