3.In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons.It is a very common,though normally temporary,consequence of a breakup,divorce,or loss of any important long-term relationship.In these cases,loneliness may result both from the loss of a specific person or from dropping out of social circles.The loss of a significant person in one's life will typically lead to a grief response; in this situation,one might feel lonely,even while in the company of others.
There are many different ways used to treat loneliness.The first step that most doctors recommend to patients is treatment.Short term treatment typically occurs over a period of ten to twenty weeks.During treatment,emphasis is put on understanding the cause of the problem,thoroughly changing the negative thoughts,feelings,and attitudes resulting from the problem,and exploring ways to help the patient feel connected.Some doctors also recommend group treatment a means to connect with other sufferers and establish a support system.
Another treatment is animal-assisted treatment.Studies and surveys indicate that the presence of animal companions such as dogs,cats,rabbits,and guinea pigs can ease feelings of loneliness or depression among some sufferers.Beyond the companionship the animal itself provides there may also be increased opportunities for socializing with other pet owners.Results of a study also suggest that correcting improper social cognition (认知) offers the best chance of reducing loneliness.
However,loneliness can sometimes play an important role in the creative process.In some people,temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to remarkable artistic and creative expression,for example,as was the case with poet Emily Dickinson,and many musicians.This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity,rather,it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist and more likely be present in individuals engaged in creative activities.

43.According to the passage,what can lead to lonelinessB?
A.Running away from the school. 
B.Losing long-term friendship.
C.A specific person's marriage. 
D.A company's closing down.
44.What's the purpose of the passageD?
A.To explain why people feel lonely.
B.To introduce the cures for loneliness.
C.To show results of a survey.
D.To make people know more about loneliness.
45.Compared with group treatment,what is the key to short-term treatmentD?
A.To set up a support system by contacting other sufferers.
B.To take anti-depressant medicine and switch it periodically.
C.To change patients'attitude towards loneliness.
D.To raise the awareness of the cause of the problem.
46.Why does the author take the example of Emily DickinsonA?
A.Because loneliness may contribute to arts creation in some ways.
B.Because loneliness itself was present when Emily Dickinson wrote a poem.
C.Because people can feel whether a person is lonely in his artworks.
D.Because in the creative process,loneliness can be treated.

7.I fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like,I wondered,without a beautiful song?In 1992,I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang."Sam,"she said earnestly,"Your songs should be heard by more people,"
She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me,her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired,I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.
The biggest surprise,however,was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract.He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.
    But I hesitated.
    My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do."Go,Sam.I'll manage with the family…it'll be OK."
I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high school…and where would I be?I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career,I would not only miss them terribly,I'd also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and me…and I couldn't bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter's offer.I'm still making music,I'm rich in love and I have no regrets.

15.Car makers have long told this story to Americans:"We don't have the technology to build good electric cars.Customers don't want electrics because they are so unattractive,slow and hard to charge.We would build them if only people wanted them."Chris Paine casts serious doubt on that story in his hard-hitting documentary film,Who Killed the Electric Car?The title suggests a murder mystery,and that's what Paine provides.Well,some of it is a mystery.We know the victim from the start-an electric car called the EV1.Also,we can see that Paine will largely blame the General Motors Corporation (GM).
GM built the EV1 because the California Air Resources Board (CARB) ruled that cars in the state had to stop adding pollution to the air.The EV1,being electric,did not bum gasoline or put out any pollution.With technology available in 1990,GM had no trouble producing a car that could go 100 miles on a single charge and could recharge from an ordinary household electrical outlet.Remember the auto companies'claim that they don't have good electric-car technology?If that were true,the EV1 would never have been born.The company made 1000 EV1s and leased them to customers in Southern California.(In a lease,a customer does not own a car but pays to use it for a certain time.)
Because of its anti-pollution rule,CARB was sued (起诉) by oil companies,car companies,and the federal government.Under such pressure,CARB dropped its rule.No longer needing the EV1 to obey California's rules,GM responded by attacking its own child.The company ran advertisements saying how bad the EV1 was.Company representatives went on TV and radio shows to say it was unreliable.The company wanted to get the cars back and destroy them.The fact that EV1 were leased,not sold,is an important part of Paine's tale.GM still owned every car and could legally take them back.A few of them went to museums,but GM crushed most of them flat.If EV1s had been owned by their drivers,they would probably still be on the road.Many people who drove them loved them.In fact a group of EV1 drivers offered GM $1.8 million to buy a large number of cars and keep them going.GM refused.The company wanted the car to disappear.
Paine's criticism of the car industry,Washington's close relationships with the oil industry,and California's state government are harsh.Each,he says,played a role in the murder of the EV1.Each has also defended itself in the wake of the film,but Paine's excellent documentary will be hard for them to dismiss.

74.What's Paine's attitude towards car makers'story?C
A.Supportive.  B.Indifferent.  C.Doubtful.  D.Neutral.
75.The E VI is invented toB.
A.show the advanced technology of GM          
B.obey California's rules about air pollution
C.help those who can't afford to buy a car        
D.get rid of the cars burning gasoline
76.Which of the following statements is TRUE about EV1s?D
A.They are not popular because their users don't like them.
B.They are not reliable because of technical problems.
C.They need special equipment to get them charged.
D.They are owned by GM rather than customers.
77.What can be inferred from Paine's documentary?B
A.CARB is to blame for the murder of the EV1.
B.The drive of profits leads to the disappearance of the EV1.
C.People can no longer see EV1s because they have been destroyed.
D.Pressures from car-related companies forced CARB to stick to its rules.
12.If you need to spend time on the road,it's important to find ways to keep safe on your feet.Don't suppose it's your right of way.Yes,you might be crossing at the right place,at the right time,within the crosswalk area,but you are still exposed to danger.It could be a distracted driver,or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules,so you could still get hurt.You can be in the right legally,but that won't be much help when you're in the hospital.
Follow pedestrian signals.Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection,pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals.If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字),stay where you are.Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe,especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.
Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing.Don't suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals.Some provinces,such as Alberta,issue (发出)a ticket if you don't give drivers enough time to brake.
Cross quickly.Once you've followed all of the other rules,and it is safe to cross the street,don't then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道)of traffic.There's no need to run or jog,but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.
21.Who is the text intended for?D
A.Drivers.B.Cyclists.C.Police.D.Pedestrians.
22.What does the underlined word"distracted"in Paragraph 2mean?D
A.Considerate.B.Strange.C.Kind-hearted.D.Absent-minded.
23.In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?A
A.Racing against time with drivers.
B.Following crosswalk signals.
C.Crossing the crosswalk area.
D.Walking outside six lanes.
24.What can be a suitable title for the text?B
A.Rules for Traffic Police
B.Tips to Keep Safe on Your Feet
C.Things Every Driver Should Know
D.Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers.
