PartⅢ Reading Comprehension (45minutes, 30point)
Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. 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. Smoking

A. It leads to a gradual loss of friends
B. It is a common phenomenon among women
C. it is often found in the neighborhood
D. it ruins the relationships between close friends

34. 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 loneliness
D. reduce the sense of loneliness

35. According to John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago, loneliness can _______细节题
A. result in aggressiveness
B. cause people to be overprotective

A. Loneliness can spread
B. Loneliness is linked to depression

D. Lonely people need more friends

Passage Two
California 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. These had to meet at least 90%of the state’s learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.
Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid te
