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?
A. Friendship B. Happiness C. Depression D. Smoking
32. The Framingham Heart Study starting from 1948 ________________
A. expanded its research topics
B. involved 5,000 patients of depression
C. identified loneliness as one key factor for heart disease
D. examined the relationship between loneliness and depression
33. Which of the following is true about the spread of loneliness?
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_________________
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 _____________
A. result in aggressiveness
B. cause people to be overprotective
C. infect social networks
D. push people to the verge of poverty
36. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Loneliness can spread
B. Loneliness is linked to depression
C. Lonely people tend to grow fat
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 teachers and
other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by
the Khosla Family.
California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will
have to decide for themselves.
Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect
widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the
first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.
School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to
access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but
that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital
textbooks effectively.
37. The Digital Textbook Initiative _______________
A. will probably take effect in six years
B. covers all the high school subjects
C. has been approved by all states
D. is advocated by California state governor
38. The main reason for promoting digital textbooks is to ______________
A. help save money
B. benefit the environment
C. provide interesting materials
D. reduce students’ heavy burden
39. The digital textbooks were approved by ___________________
A. trained teachers B. content developers
C. Khosla Family D. CK12 Foundation
40. What is true of CK12 Foundation?
A. It produced 16 digital textbooks
B. It paid teachers to write digital textbooks.
C. It is financed by California state government.
D. It makes money through developing digital textbooks.
41. According to Susan Martimo, digital textbooks __________________
A. are not likely to have a widespread use
B. will soon replace traditional ones
C, will first be adopted by well-equipped schools
D. are certain to be approved by school districts
