minutes and a few hours. this kind of loneliness is not serious. in fact, it is quite normal. for some people, though, loneliness can last for years. now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.the first 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, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a 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 most severe. unlike the second type, habitual loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific 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 agree that one important factor in loneliness is a 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 similar interests and activities. however, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. they question their 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 a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. while temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, habitual loneliness can be a sad and sometimes dangerous condition.33. how would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?a. talk to friends. b. just ignore it.c. go to see a doctor. d. ask your teachers for guidance.34. the topic of the 4th paragraph is that _.a. lonely people dont have many social problems b. we depend on various persons for different reasonsc. one problem of loneliness is a persons social contactsd. lonely people dont have many friends35. what is the best title for the passage?a. how to get rid of loneliness b. loneliness and diseasesc. loneliness and social contacts d. three types of loneliness 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共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。（请将答案填在答题卷上）getting olderno one really knows how and why people change as they get older. 36 . aging is a complex and varied process that varies in how it affects different people and organs. in fact, even in one person, different organ systems “age” at different rate. at a certain point in our lives our body systems will begin to weaken. 37 . it may become more difficult for us to see and hear. the slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. in order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives. 38 . a good diet plays an important role. the amount and the type of exercise we get are another two factors. 39 . but scientists studying the aging problem want to know: why do people grow old? they hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer. 40 . many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living. physical activity may become less, but often we get better understanding of the world and ourselves.what we consider the old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon who knows, with so many advances in

may become weaker.d. as for diet, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.e. there is nothing to be afraid of as the old age comes.f. symptoms include a lack of energy, slow reactions and poor
