But their power could get stronger with age, and even _35_ family relationships.A researcher team from Michiga
20、n State University, US, recently discovered the large role friendships play in our lives. According to the researchers, friendships can “make a world of difference”, and even influence how we respond to illness. The research involved two studies. The first one looked at survey data _36_ over 270000
21、participants of all ages from nearly 200 countries. They were asked information about their relationship, health and happiness.The results showed that both family relationships and friendships were linked to better health and happiness _37_. However, as people grow older, friendships become more imp
22、ortant than family relationships when it comes to _38_ health and happiness.In the second study, the researchers _39_ data from a survey of nearly 8000 adults in the US. The studys aim was to explore if relationships are related to chronic health problems.It turned out that friendships play an impor
23、tant role in how older adults feel. If you have supportive friends, and you are more likely to be happier and free from health concerns. This goes the other way, too. If your friendships become a _40_ of stress, youre more likely to experience chronic illness, such as high blood pressure and cancer.
24、“_41_ of these studies show that friendships predict day-to-day happiness and ultimately how long well live, more so than spousal and family relationships,” William Chopik, lead author of the researcher, told the Daily Mail.For Chopik, this finding was not a surprise. Friendships are optional we han
25、g on to the ones that make us feel good and _42_ those that dont but no one can choose his or her family. This means it is more challenging to deal with serious and negative interactions from within our families. “Friendships help us stave off loneliness but are often harder to _43_ across the lifes
26、pan,” Chopik told VOA.“If a friendship has _44_ the test of time, you know it must be a good one a person you turn to for help and advice often and a person you wanted in your life,” he added.III. Reading Comprehension（56分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four w
27、ords or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.As a new mother, you may be disturbed in the middle of the night by your crying baby. But there is good 45 for all those frustrated mothers, and that is baby sign language. Now, you can 46 com
28、municate with your baby by teaching him / her sign language. 47 you decide to teach your baby sign language, you should proceed slowly. Do not try to make too many 48 at one time that would only confuse your little one. Start with physical objects like toy, bottle, milk where you can show the object
29、. The most important words that the baby should 49 are food, milk, thirst, bathroom, more, etc. Say the word while making the gestures. 50 making the same gestures every time the baby 51 that object or engages in that activity. Within a few weeks, the baby will start using the sign. Introduce a 52 s
30、ign, only when he / she has completely learned the previous one. Do not force the baby, if he/she does not respond to the 53 of sign language.If the baby 54 to the sign language in a positive manner, start adding new signs. You can also make use of 55 books and pictures to teach him/her new signs. I

35、perienceSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）
36、Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness（孤独） can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The f
37、irst kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a
38、 new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic（慢性的） loneliness usually last more than two years and has no sp
39、ecific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists（心理学家） agree that one important factor in loneliness is a
40、 persons social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities. However, psychologists have fou
41、nd that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is connection between
42、chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be very sad, and sometime dangerous.60. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends.B. just
43、ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teacher for guidance61.Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.B.

But have you ever given a thought to the science behind this problem?Oliver OReilly, a professor of mechanical engineeri
52、ng at the University of California Berkeley, US, began trying to solve this mystery after noticing that his young daughter could never keep her shoelaces tied. With the help of two of his graduate students, OReilly ran real-world experiments in search of a reasonable explanation. “We looked like cra
53、zy academics because we were just walking the halls of Berkeley watching our shoelaces come united,” says OReillys student Christine Gregg. She ran on a treadmill so the team could film her shoes to catch the details.They found that shoelace knot failure happens in a matter of seconds, thanks to a c
54、omplex interaction of forces.The main cause, according to OReily, is inertial forces. Normally, a strong knot has many turns, held together by the friction at its center. The more turns there are, the easier it is to keep it tight.However, stomping ones foot could produce an acceleration at the base
55、 of the knot. Meanwhile, the laces whip back and forth, pulling at the ends like an invisible hand. Finally, the knot reaches a point where the acceleration wins over the friction, and it comes undone all at once.“Once you have a little bit of slip, all the forces change, until the slip gets bigger
56、and bigger,” said Gregg. At that point, it only takes a bit of movement for the entire knot to come undone.The team also found that acceleration or whipping alone isnt enough. They spent an hour swinging their legs and then stomping on the ground, both with little effect. Next, they built a pendulum
57、 machine, added weights to the ends of laces, and swung the knots back and forth. As expected, knots failed more often with heavier weights, because the inertial forces were greater.The researchers are confident that their work could shed light on other knotted structures, such as the structure of D
58、NA. “Were not just trying to figure out why shoelaces come united,” Gregg told New Scientist.” We think this could be applied to anything that uses entanglement. A knot is really just and entangled linear structure.”66. Which of the following statements is TRUE about OReillys experiments, according
59、to the article? A. He filmed people walking and running to examine the cause of knot failure. B. He used computer models to describe situations of knot failure. C. He wanted to explain why it takes a long time before shoelaces become untied. D. He got the idea while teaching his daughter to tie her
60、shoelaces.67. We can learn from the article that _ A. short shoelaces become undone more easily B. more friction on shoelaces could keep the knot tighter C. most knot failures are caused by whipping or stomping D. heavier shoes are less likely to get untied68. Which of the following statements would
61、 Christine Gregg agree with? A. The heavier the weights added to the ends of laces, the more easily knots untie. B. The future benefit of the research on shoelaces is still unclear. C. People will soon solve the trouble of untied shoelaces. D. People could stop knot failures by removing inertia forc
62、e. ( D )Have you ever been afraid? Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms（手掌） sweat when its your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when y
63、ou see the bully (欺负人的人) who chooses you. We all have fears sometimes. Thats true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen y
64、our senses and help you perform better during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared (恐惧的). Thats why they like to watch scary movies. Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesnt seem to be anything to
65、be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesnt seem to be a clear reason, thats called anxiety (焦虑). For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere.
66、For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is
67、making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself. 69. What does the underlined phrase “get butterflies in your stomach” (Paragraph 1) probably mean? A. Get angry. B. Get nervous. C. Get hurt. D. Get excited. 70. What does the writer want to show in the second par
68、agraph? A. Brave people wont feel fear whatever happens.B. Children are easier to show fear than adults. C. Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy. D. Fear can be good to people sometimes. 71. According to the passage, we can learn that anxiety _. A. often appears before an important exam B. app
