Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage One Loneliness has been linked to depression and other health problems. Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same. Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also grow like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts. The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression. The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, did the study .The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about 17 days .But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about 5%,or two and a half days.Lonely people become less and less trusting of others .This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends-and more likely that society will reject them.John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study .He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.31. Besides loneliness, which of the following can also spread among people? 细节题A. Friendship B. Happiness C. Depression D. Smoking32. The Framingham Heart Study starting from 1948 _ 推断题A. expanded its research topicsB. involved 5,000 patients of depressionC. identified loneliness as one key factor for heart diseaseD. examined the relationship between loneliness and depression33.

It is a common phenomenon among women C. it is often found in the neighborhoodD. it ruins the relationships between close friends34. Having a lonely friend, you are more likely to_推断题A. strengthen your friendship B. develop new friendship C. increase the sense of lonelinessD. reduce the sense of loneliness35. According to John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago, loneliness can _细节题A. result in aggressivenessB. cause people to be overprotectiveC. infect social networksD. push people to the verge of poverty36. What is the main idea of the passage?主旨题A. Loneliness can spreadB. Loneliness is linked to depressionC. Lonely people tend to grow fatD. Lonely people need more friendsPassage TwoCalifornia has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. “Starting this fall with high school math and science .we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state approved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online .He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital one can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive .And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools.
