听力原文：Thirty years ago, anyone blaming loneliness for physical illness would have been

听力原文： Thirty years ago, anyone blaming loneliness for physical illness would have been laughed at. But as scientists studied different populations, loneliness kept emerging as a risk factor. In one study, Californian researchers followed 4,700 residents of Alameda County for 10 years, starting in 1965.

At first, the participants reported their key sources of companionship and estimated the time they devoted to each other. During the study, the people who reported the least social contact died at nearly three times the rate of those reporting the most. The source of companionship didn't matter, but time spent with others was critical.

Since then, researchers have studied men, women, soldiers and students from countries all over the world. And the same pattern keeps emerging. Women who say they feel isolated go on to die of cancer at several times the expected rate. College students who report "strained and cold" relationships with their parents suffer extraordinary rates of hypertension and heart disease decades later. Heart-attack survivors who happen to live by themselves die at twice tile rate of those who live with others.

For those of us who are still healthy, the lesson should be obvious. It's clear that reaching out to others can help our bodies thrive. It's equally clear that we're growing more isolated. In 1900, only 5 percent of U.S. households consisted of one person living alone. The proportion reached 13 percent in 1960, and it stands at 25 percent today. In a book entitled Bowling Alone, author Robert Putnam shows that oar social connections are disappearing on other levels, too In 1976, Americans attended an average of 12 club meetings a year. The current average is five. Card games, dinner parties and shared family meals have all followed the same pattern. We all have a good excuse we're too busy but we shouldn't be surprised when it catches up with us.

(30)

A．The key source of connections.

B．The time spent with others.

C．The kind of social contact.

D．The degree of solitude.

听力原文：Man: When did you last go to London？

Woman: Oh, I don't know really. I suppose it was about thirty, or maybe even forty years ago.

Man: As long as that？ You wouldn't recognize it now.

Woman: Has it changed very much？

Man: Oh, yes! It's changed beyond belief. It's a lot bigger of course and it's been cleaned up quite a lot.

Woman: What about the fog？

Man: Oh, London doesn't have fog any more. That's all disappeared and the air has been cleaned considerably over the last thirty years or so.

Woman: Do you think I'd still recognize it？

Man: Of course you would. Parts of London haven't changed very much at all, but in other areas the change is incredible.

Woman: Is that cinema still open, the one at the comer of the street where I used to live？ You remember it, the "Rex", I think.

Man: No, that was knocked down about ten years ago. It's been replaced by a large supermarket. The small park has been destroyed, too, and the road has been widened.

Woman: What a pity! That park used to be very beautiful, and peaceful, too, in the summer.

Man: Even the old grocery shop isn't there any more. It's been turned into a small restaurant.

Woman: Is the mall still there who used to deliver coal？

Man: No, unfortunately, he died five years ago, but his son still runs the business. He's doing very well with the business.

Woman: Well, that's progress! You know, I don't think I'd like to go back to London somehow.

Man: I go to London more often now than I used to, so I don't notice the changes now.

Woman: I think it's been changed too much. I want to remember it as it was.

A．It's bigger.

B．It's cleaner.

C．It doesn't have fog any more.

听力原文：One spring shortly before the period of Civil War, a boy appeared at the prospero

听力原文： One spring shortly before the period of Civil War, a boy appeared at the prosperous farm of a man named Worthy Taylor in Portage County, Ohio. The boy was looking for work. Taylor did not know anything about the boy but as spring was a busy season on a farm, Taylor hired him. The boy's name was Jim. Jim worked on the farm all through that spring and summer. He helped with the planting, cut wood and took the cow to posture. He was a good worker but quiet and retiring. He ate in the kitchen and slept in the barn on a pile of hay. He kept very much to himself.

Before the end of summer, however, young Jim had fallen in love with one of Taylor's daughters, a pretty young girl about his own age. He wanted to marry her. Taylor told him very plainly that he did not intend to let his daughter marry any young man without money, without name, and without prospects of any kind for the future. Jim said nothing in answer to this, but that night he packed his few things together and disappeared. No one in that section ever saw him or heard from him again.

About thirty years later, Taylor was tearing down his old barn in order to build a new one. On one of the wooden beams above the place where Jim used to sleep, Taylor noticed this name cut into the wood with penknife: James A. Garfield. "Jim" was now the President of the United States!

(26)

A．Before the Civil War.

B．After the Civil War.

C．During the Civil War.

D．Thirty years ago.
