第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.
Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.
“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.
Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.
1、Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?
A．Teenagers. B．Adults.
C．The elderly. D．A couple.
2、What does the sentence “No man is an island” really mean?
A．No man is willing to live on an island.
B．Man usually doesn’t go to an island
C．Everyone is related with our society.
D．Our society is just like an island.
3、What can we learn about outgoing people?
A．They like being alone.
B．They are fond of making friends.
C．They have intense friendships.
D．They have fewer close friends indeed
4、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The formation of close friends.
B．The number of real friends.
C．Honesty, love and affection.
D．Factors to determine the degree of closeness.

Best Science Books of 2017
At its heart, science is about curiosity. So it stands to reason these books about science should make you examine your world more closely, and in doing so, give you a sense of wonder.
Big Chicken, by Maryn McKenna
Investigative journalist Maryn McKenna uses the modern industrial chicken as a window into how antibiotics(抗生素) transformed modern agriculture—for good and ill. She traces how animal antibiotics endanger human health, causing serious problems from antibiotic resistant stomach infections to UTIs. Recognizing that Americans are going to continue to eat chicken no matter what, McKenna suggests a way in which factory farming rids itself of its dependence on antibiotics.
Why Time Flies, by Alan Burdick
New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick examines the greatest gift humanity has ever known: time. Time, he writes, appears to exist in two distinct forms. One is the standardized, objective kind found in clocks and watches; the other is our internal, biological sense of time, the one we measure in our cells, bodies and minds But the closer he looks, the less clearer this distinction appears.
Paleoart, by Zoe Lescaze
Dinosaurs have long captured the imaginations of scientists and artists alike, and Paleoart brings those visions together in a blend of human knowledge and creativity.
These images not only show our changing understanding of dinosaurs, but also reflect the distinct artistic sensibilities of their time. Both artistic and educational, these pictures are certainly influential.
What It’s Like to Be a Dog, by Gregory Berns
Berns, a neuroscientists, trained dogs to sit in a machine in order to look into the brains of conscious dogs for the first time. That pioneering work inspired him to dig deeper into the minds of other animals, from sea lions to the extinct thylacine(袋狼). Berns says, “With their ability to think, choose and feel, dogs and other animals do not deserve the cruel treatment humans so often do to them.”
1、Which book has something to do with public health?
A．Big Chicken. B．Why Time Flies.
C．Paleoart. D．What It ’s Like to Be a Dog.
2、Who writes about time?
A．Maryn Mckenna. B．Alan Burdick.
C．Zoe Lescaze. D．Gregory Berns.
3、What was Berns’ pioneering work?
A．Training dogs. B．Studying extinct animals.
C．Observing dog brains. D．Fighting for animal rights.
