16、ch blank with the proper form ofthe given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Time to End LonelinessUS author Henry Rollins once wrote: "Loneliness adds beauty to lift. It puts a special burn onsunsets and makes night air smell better." Indeed, in the eyes of

17、 artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that(21) (inspire) by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Insteadit's a

18、"giant evil" that's become a serious problem in the country.On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country's very first "Minister for Loneliness". Her job is (22)(deal) with the loneliness that the country's been feeling-a p

19、roblem which, according to UK government research, isaffecting more than 9 million people in the country, and (23)be more harmful to one's physical and mental health than smoking l5 cigarettes a day.Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the "loneliness capital of Europe" by The T

20、elegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were (24) (likely) to get to know their neighbours or build strong relationships with people than those fromother European countries.But this doesn't mean it is the problem (25) (affect) Britons only. In fact, we're al

21、l suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now being linked to the internet, (26)has enabled us to be more connected than ever.(27) . we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox,is to have “ proper human connections""Our

22、lives nowadays are so busy.We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. (28)busy we are,we need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings," Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward (29)(fight) this problem are to acce

23、pt its existence and not be ashamed or frightened by it. After all, .(30) loneliness, many beautiful paintings,songs, and literary works wouldn't even exist. Whether it is "evil" or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.Section BDirection: Fill in each blank

24、 with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A .analyzing B.maintain C. designed D. covered E. capable F. figuresG. recently H. weighing I. undoubtedly J.release K. postsRobots Writing NewspapersWhether it's robots worki

25、ng as hotel receptionists or artificial intelligence creating poetry, it's becoming more and more common to read about technology doing the jobs of humans.And now,it seems that software is even 31 of writing news stories-such as the very one you're reading.BBC News 32eported that the PressAs

26、sociation (PA), a UK news service, has created a computer program that's competent to create articles that are almost impossible to tell apart from those written by human journalists. Called "robo- journalism " by BBC News, such software "teaches" itself by 33 thousands of ne

27、ws stories written by humans. The PA's software is already so advanced that many UK newspapers and websites publish articles created by it.According to the Reuters Institute of Journalism,many publishers are using robo-journalism to34interestinginformation quickly, from election results to offic

28、ial 35 on social issues.For example, US news organization The WashingtonPost has its ownrobo-journalism software, Heliograf.According to each website Digiday, Heliograf "wrote" over 850 articles in 2417, as well as hundreds of social media 36 . So what does this mean for regular journalist

29、s? "We're naturally cautious about any technology that could replace human beings." Fredrick Kunkle, “ WashingtoPost reporter, told Wired. "But this technology seems to have taken over only some of the work that nobody else wants to do."Indeed, it appears that robo-journalism

30、 software is 37 to help humans, rather than take away their jobs."In the future, Heliograf could do things like searching the web to see what people are talking about, checking The Washington Post to see if that story is being 38 , and, if not, alerting editors or just writing the piece itself,

31、 Wired reporter Joe Keoha wrote.However, Joshua Benton at HarvardUniversity's Nieman Journalism Lab believes that while robo-journalism is 39 going to become more present in newsrooms, nothing can replace traditional human creativity."Good journalism is not just a matter of inputs and outpu

32、ts, it is a craft that has developed over decades," he told BBC News."The really difficult part of what professional journalists do-carefully 40 information and presenting balanced, contextualized（ 全 景式的）stories-will be very hard for machines to master."III. Reading ComprehensionSecti

33、onADirection: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard 41 : keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular ex

34、ercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities 42 longer lives?A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by 43 the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least

35、 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more 44 and less neurotic(神 经质的)than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a(n) 45 life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evo

36、lutionary theory: Those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough 46 to make it through tough times.Interestingly, 47 . other characteristicsthat you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-discipli

37、ned, 48 , were no more likely to live to be very old.Also,being 49 to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your _50 as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological

38、debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should 51_to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help 52_your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who

39、were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids 53 diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn't destiny（命运），and everyone knows that individuals can lear

40、n to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just matter of your physical health but of your mental health.Therefore, it might be 54 to form those personality traits contributing to longevity through health-related behaviours, stress reduction and 55 to the challenging problems.41.
