The Loneliness in New Zealand report, published by Statistic

Young people were not as likely to feel lonely because of financial hardship, but among older people, lack o
33、f money was a significant influence on loneliness. Women were more likely to feel lonely than men.Philip Walker, spokesman for the General Social Survey, said because it was relatively new it was hard to know whether loneliness among young people was a new trend. But overseas research has found that
34、 levels of loneliness in youth today are growing.Walker said the finding needed more exploration, including looking at the role of technology and social media. “It could be that peoples expectations of connection have gone up, so we expect increased levels of connection,” he said. “While technology

102、to do sth.”(某人被要求做某事)。故填to process。【39题详解】考查被动语态。句意:当脂肪和盐分从食物中被去掉。分析可知fat,salt和move之间是被动关系,脂肪和盐分是两种东西,且是被人们去掉,所以用被动语态。故填are removed。【40题详解】考查固定短语。句意:结果,人们将吃更多的食物去弥补损失的东西。固定短语as a result表示“结果”。故填a。【41题详解】考查比较级。句意:更糟糕的是,人们所吃快餐的数量增加了。even修饰比较级。故填worse。【42题详解】考查主谓一致。句意:快餐食物中满是脂肪和盐。fast food的意思是“快餐”,表示一类
