loneliness is associated with heart troubles，viral infections，and higher death rates.What they didnt know is how this feeling causes illness.A study in the September issue of the online journal Genome Biology suggests that loneliness actually affects the very core of our bodiesour genes.In a small population of patients，researchers surveyed more than 20,000 genes using DNA skills to compare how the genes of lonely and nonlonely individuals express themselves in molecular (分子) processes and，ultimately，in personal health.They found that gene expression is different at 209 sites in chronically lonely people and that many of those changes fit a pattern of elevated immune activation，inflammation (炎症)，and depressed response to infection.“We now have a molecular framework for understanding the relationship between social experience and physical health，”explains the studys lead author，Steve Cole.The study found that loneliness decreases the response of some body receptors，cutting off the immune control and antiinflammatory effects of the stressrelated hormone that also helps regulate the conversion of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to energy.The depressed response of the stressrelated hormone concurs with the known effects of loneliness and provides a potential target for treatment.“This studythe first to link feelings with gene changesis in some sense groundbreaking，”says Emma Adam，an associate professor at Northwestern University.“lt fills in the black box.” According to John Cacioppo，an author of the study and a psychologist from the University of Chicago，the work suggests that loneliness is a warning sign，much like physical pain.“This very process of feeling bad because of disconnection contributes to what it means to be human，”he says.“It makes us care for other people and want to reconnect when were disconnected.” 41.From the passage we know lonely people_.Ahave higher rates of diseasesBhave bad and little genesCare full of energyDare quick to the responses of some body receptors42According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?AThe lonely peoples gene expression is quite different from the gene pattern of some diseases.BResearchers and doctors can deal with loneliness by regulating the stressrelated hormone.CLoneliness is a warning sign of physical pain.DThe study of loneliness is of little value at present.43The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_.Athe work Bthe process of feeling badCloneliness Dto be human44Which of the following is the best suggestion to lonely people?AGo to hospital to have a medical examination once a week.BTake more social activities.CTake more physical exercises.DRing your friends when you need their help.45Whats the best title for the passage?AFeeling Lonely Can Make You SickBA Survey on LonelinessCWhy Loneliness Is Bad for You课时作业答案.单项填空1D许多同学知道这是一个同位语从句，在定向思维中认为同位语从句用that引导，事实上同位语从句也可以用when，where，why等来引导，不一定只用that。2C句意为：泰勒太太有一个8岁的女儿，她有绘画天赋，已经两次获得了全国大奖。第一空是在元音之前用an，第二空用不定冠词a，构成固定词组have a gift for。3A根据上下文的语境，impress与句子中的 audience之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作状语；B、D两项为主动语态；C项不定式位于句首表示目的。4B5Ctake此处表示“乘坐”，为及物动词，符合语境。6A句意为：直到两点我才静下来写下一章。settle down to在此是“专心做”之意。7Cso多用来修饰形容词或副词。如果用so修饰名词，语序多为soadj.a/ann.，如果so beautiful a flower。但是当所修饰的名词前出现many/much/few/little等表示多少的词时，则用so修饰。此处第一空后出现了little，但意思是“小的”，故第一空为such。另外such多用来修饰名词，语序为such a/anadj.n.。8A考查交际用语，由No，thanks可以看出是拒绝别人的好意，所以答案选A。9B此题考查动词词组辨析。get down下来，落下；give in投降，认输；give away泄露秘密；get through完成。如果你的词汇量大，不难做出选择。10Bon boardaboard上船/飞机/车等；在船/飞机/车上等。11Aeven so即使是这样；even though即使，后面不能加逗号；C、D不合题意。句意为：你叔叔看起来是个好司机，即使如此，我还是不敢坐他的车旅行。12C根据前面的句子“那个年轻人在城里迷路了”语意可推断出“他好像对环境不熟悉。”13Akeep sb.at a distance表示“与某人保持疏远”，符合题意。句意为：她脸上的冷笑让我们保持着距离。14A句意为：我非常愿意用我的车送你和你的朋友们去火车站。more than在此相当于副词，意思是：非常，很，可修饰形容词、副词、动词，充当状语。15D第一空用that引导同位语从句，解释说明idea的内容含义，而第二空用which引导非限制性定语从句，表示“这种情况”。.翻译句子16As far as I know，he will be away for two months.17He has a gift for learning language.18I havent figured out why he changed his mind at the last minute.19What about going downtown for shopping this afternoon?20The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.完形填空21C根据上一句可知其他学生在背完课文后都坐下了，而Duane仍旧站着，其中but是个重要的信息词。22B此处作者想要说明的是Duane是个聪明可爱的学生，尽管他的单亲妈妈有很多问题。23B作者看到Duane还站着，以为他昨晚可能遇到什么事情，因此过去询问。此处只是作者的一种想法而已，故选B。24C根据下文可知作者没有看Duane送的礼物，所以从Duane的眼神中可以看出他受到了伤害。25A此处disappointedly(失望地)对应上文的hurt。26B作者此时没有打开礼物，只是看礼物的外表，“好像(appeared)”是个火柴盒。27DDuane告诉作者这是个首饰盒，“而不是”(rather than)火柴盒。as well as和，more than超过，except for除了，均不符合语境。28D作者打开盒子，看到的是两个啤酒瓶盖，这让她很吃惊。短语the sight of意思是“看见”。29CDuane告诉作者这是两只银耳环。30D根据下文提示I avoided wearing them可知作者因为天生耳朵有点畸形，所以“从不(never)”戴耳环。31B作者被Duane的创造性和考虑周到“打动(touched)”了。32A作者一出生时，一只耳朵就有点畸形。33B作者担心戴上耳环，别人会注意到自己畸形的耳朵。draw attention to引起的注意；do harm to对造成危害；add weight增加重量；have an effect on对有影响。34A学生如此真诚，作者怎么能够“拒绝(refuse)”呢？35C根据上文提示，从Duane的家庭背景来看，他是个“特殊的(special)”学生。generous慷慨的，honest诚实的，sad悲伤的，均不符合语境。36B作者当着全班学生的面把耳环戴上，这时全班的学生都为她鼓掌。37B每当作者看到那个火柴盒，就会想起Duane的善良以及他的行为给作者的启发。remind sb.of sth.让某人想起某事；convince sb.of sth.让某人相信某事；prove sth.to sb.向某人证明某事；show sb.sth.向某人展示某物。38C根据第一段的提示可知Duane生活在单亲家庭，而且母亲有很多问题，所以他的“处境(situation)”不是很好。39C尽管贫穷，Duane还是乐于“给予(give)”。please取悦；take索取；accept接受。40D每当作者难以触动学生的心灵(即很难和学生沟通)的时候，作者就会像Duane那样，让学生感受到自己的一片真诚。have difficulty (in) doing sth.是固定句型。.阅读理解41A细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知正确答案为A。42B细节理解题。据第三段的“the stressrelated hormone that also helps regulate the conversion of carbohydrates to energy”可知A正确。根据倒数第三段“provides a potential target for treatment”及最后一段内容可判断D项错误。根据最后一段“loneliness is a warning sign，much like physical pain”可判断C项错误。43D细节理解题。it为形式主语。44B推理判断题。根据第二段的“We now have a molecular framework for understanding the relationship between social experience and physical health”可得正确答案。45C标题概括题。A项虽然为首句，但本文重在说明孤独对人有害的原因，故选C。
