He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasnt even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures in my plan, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.24.

Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was twenty-five percent more likely to do the same.Earlier findings showed that happiness, obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread 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 five thousand 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.The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by 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 friendsand more likely that society will reject(排斥) 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.32. As an average person, if you make 2 more common friends, how many days a year might you suffer from loneliness?A. 48 daysB. 43 daysC. 65 daysD. 17 days33. What can we infer from the passage about lonely people?A. They can overcome loneliness themselvesB. They will decrease loneliness day by day.C. They need help to get back to normal social lifeD. They can help others to repair their social networks34. Whats the best way to help lonely people according to this passage?A. Bring them together.B. Make friends with them.C. Help them stop smoking.D. Help them lose weight35. Which of the following would be the topic of the passage?A. Loneliness and social networkB. Social Networks and friendshipC. Loneliness and diet.D. Help A Lonely Person【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。孤独影响朋友、邻里等社会关系，一项调查研究的数据说明孤独和朋友之间的关系：越孤独就越有可能被社会排斥，多交朋友可以减少孤独。【32题详解】计算题。由倒数第三段第一句可知一个普通人一年有48天会感到孤独，第三句内容可知增加两位普通朋友可让一个人孤独的时间减少5天，所以答案是B。【33题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句可知，孤独的人需要帮助，且倒数第三段最后一句指出，多交朋友可以减少人们的孤独，故孤独的人更需要友情，因此可推知答案为C项。【34题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第三段最后一句But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by two and a half days每增加一个朋友可减少孤独两天半推断多交朋友会减少孤独；倒数第二段最后一句也可推知帮助孤独者最好的方法是与他们交朋友。故选B。【35题详解】主旨大意题。第一段点明了本文的主题：孤独影响朋友、邻里等社会关系，并且文章利用一项调查研究的数据说明孤独和朋友之间的关系：越孤独就越有可能被社会排斥，多交朋友可以减少孤独。故选A。【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本文是一篇调查研究，通常第一段就点名明了主题。本题第4小题，第一段点明了本文的主题：孤独影响朋友、邻里等社会关系，并且文章利用一项调查研究的数据说明孤独和朋友之间的关系：越孤独就越有可能被社会排斥，多交朋友可以减少孤独。故选A。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make a Chinese Hot PotEating a Chinese hot pot is a very common experience.
