解析:空格前面是不定冠词an,后面是名词blush,因此需要填入形容词修饰blush。本句前半句提到,人脸传递情绪信号的能力也同样重要,后半句的“whether through...or...”表明并列的两个名词短语是两种相对的情绪信号传递方式,因此空格处需要填入一个与false“虚假的,不真诚的”意义相反的形容词,修饰blush,所以F) involuntary“无意识做出的,非故意的”为本题答案。

解析:空格前是被动语态facial recognition is used by churches和不定式符号to,后面是名词短语worshippers' attendance,因此空格处需要填入动词原形,构成不定式短语,作目的状语。本段第一句提到,科技正迅速赶超人类识别脸孔的能力,接下来举例证明人脸识别技术已经得到了广泛应用。第一个例子指出在美国,人脸识别被教堂用来____教徒的出席情况,由此可知,此处应选择有“跟踪”含义的词,且该词能与attendance搭配,故N)track“追踪,记录……的进展”为本题答案。
5.The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial
features helps people 26_____ each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through an 27_____ blush or the artifice(欺骗)of a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives,in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,28_____ faces,for signs of attraction,hostility,trust and deceit.They also spend plenty of time trying to dissimulate(掩饰).

解析:空格前是动词不定式to spot,空格后是名词shoplifters,因此需要填入形容词来修饰shoplifters。本句提到,在英国零售商使用人脸识别技术来认出_____的商店扒手。根据常识可知,扒手偷走东西后可用人脸识别技术辨认,因而应填入表示“刚过去的,刚结束的”的形容词,故J)past是本题答案。
6.The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people 26_____ each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through an 27_____ blush or the artifice(欺骗)of a false smile.People spend much of their

O.verifies √
解析:空格前是主语it,后面是名词短语,通过分析句子结构可知,空格处所填词与后面的动词permits和lets为并列谓语,因此空格处需要填入动词的第三人称单数形式。文中提到,在中国人脸识别被用于_____网约车司机的身份,该句依旧是在介绍人脸识别技术的用途,而后面的两个并列谓语指出,人脸识别允许游客进入____,还让顾客微笑刷脸就能买单。由此推知,人脸识别被用于验证网约车司机的身份,故此处应选择与“验证”意义相近的动词,因此O)verifies“验证,核实”为答案。
7.The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people 26_____ each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through an 27_____ blush or the artifice(欺骗)of a false smile.People spend much of their

解析:空格前是动词不定式to enter,后面是该句的并列谓语,因此空格处应填入名词,与to enter一起作permits的宾语tourists的补足语,而空格前没有冠词,因此空格处需要填入可数名词的复数形式或者不可数名词。此处提到,人脸识别允许游客进入____,由句意可知,enter后面应该接表示地点的名词,因此A) attractions“游览胜地”为本题答案。
8.The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people 26_____ each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through an 27_____ blush or the artifice(欺骗)of a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives,in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,28_____ faces,for signs of attraction,hostility,trust and deceit.They also

解析:空格前是谓语动词seems,后面是不定式to encode them,句子成分齐全,因此空格处可以填入副词。该句第一个分句指出飞行或互联网这样的突破明显改变了人类的能力,第二个分句提到人脸识别似乎_____面孔进行编码,这两个分句将以往的技术突破和人脸识别技术进行了对比,encode them表明人脸识别只是对面孔进行编码,与飞行和互联网相比,人脸识别没有明显改变人类的能力,故空格处填入的副词要能表示出人脸识别技术的局限性,因此G) merely“只是,仅仅”为答案。
9.The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people 26_____ each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through an 27_____ blush or the artifice(欺骗)of a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives,in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,28_____ faces,for signs of attraction,hostility,trust and deceit.They also

解析:空格前面是短语be peculiar to“是……所独有的”,其中to是介词,因此空格处可填入名词作介词to的宾语,而空格前没有冠词,故空格处需要填入可数名词的复数形式或者不可数名词。本句提到,尽管面孔是_____所独有的,但也是公开的,句首的although表明第一个分句和第二分句的句意发生了转折,因此由第二个分句中的public可知,此处应选择与public含义相反的名词,故E)individuals“个人,个体”为答案。
10.The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people 26_____ each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through an 27_____ blush or the artifice(欺骗)of a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives,in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,28_____ faces,for signs of attraction,hostility,trust and deceit.They also spend plenty of time trying to dissimulate(掩饰).

解析:空格前是动词短语bring about,后面是名词changes,因此空格处需要填入形容词来修饰changes。本句指出,低廉、快速和大量记录、存储以及分析人脸图像的能力总有一天会给隐私、公平和信任这些概念带来_____改变。上文提到,乍一看,人脸识别技术并未侵犯隐私,本句以and yet开头,说明句意发生了转折,故此处应选择表示肯定意义的形容词,表明人脸识别技术会改变隐私的概念,因而D)fundamental“根本的,基本的”是本题答案。
11.Where to Get Healthier in 2018
(A) From hotels and cruises to airports,airlines,safaris (游猎) and group tours,wellness promises to be everywhere in the world of travel.Five years ago wellness on the road meant heading to a destination spa to embark on a specific program such as weight loss or staying at a hotel with a nice gym; more recently,the concept has evolved to include all categories of travel,and encompasses overall physical and emotional health.
(B) The data to support the rising interest in wellness travel abounds.According
to the Global Wellness Institute,a nonprofit organization for the wellness industry,the wellness travel market grew to $563 billion in 2015 from $489 billion in 2013,and is expected to grow another 43 percent to $808 billion between 2015 and 2020.Travelers made 691 million trips with a wellness component,such as healthy eating or fitness,in 2015,104.4 million more than in 2013.
(C) In addition,in 2016,the luxury travel network Virtuoso launched Virtuoso Wellness,a portfolio of 42 hotels and cruise lines.The company's sales for these wellness partners (Rosa Alpina,in Italy's Dolomites Mountains,and Uniworld River Cruises are examples) were up 20 percent last year compared with sales for the company's other suppliers,which increased nine percent.
(D) Beth McGroarty,the research director for the Global Wellness Institute,said that the profusion (大量) of wellness programs in travel has redefined the purpose of a vacation.\"Vacations used to be associated with excess.You would have lavish meals,drink a lot and party,\" she said.\"In today's high-stress world,however,people are desperate for rejuvenation (恢复活力 ) and are prioritizing wellness when they have time off.\"
(E) Leisure travelers looking to partake in a little—or a lot of—self-care are spoiled for choice,particularly in the hotel space where many of the big brands are incorporating wellness into guest rooms.
(F) Westin Hotels & Resorts has a growing roster of properties,including ones in Melbourne and Milan,that will feature WestinWorkout rooms,accommodations where guests have the choice of either an in-room treadmill or stationary bike.
(G) In December,Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills introduced seven wellness rooms in partnership with the wellness real estate company Delos.The amenities include toiletries from the beauty brand Lather that are made with natural ingredients,air purification systems that reduce allergens and promote restful sleep,showers with dechlorinators,and healthy in room dining menus created in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic.A night's stay in a wellness room starts at $600—$50 more than regular room rates—and the hotel's general manager,Michael Newcombe,said that the demand for them has been notable.\" Our regular clients asked us to bring wellness into the privacy of their rooms,and these new accommodations were our answer,\" he said.
(H) Cruises,too,are increasingly embracing wellness,especially by offering health-focused voyages:The adventure cruise line Linblad Expeditions,for one,in partnership with the exercise and spa brand Exhale,began a series of three- and four-day well-being trips ( starting prices from $1,990 a person) in December around Mexico's Baja Peninsula.Guests on the journeys choose from activities like kayaking around the Baja coastline,snorkeling with sea lions and classes led by an Exhale instructor like power yoga and high intensity interval training.
(I) Some travel companies are also offering more itineraries (旅程) with wellness themes.Intrepid Travel will run 50 wellness-focused group trips this year,compared with 20 in 2017.One addition is the 12-day Golden Triangle:Yoga & Bollywood Edition ( from $1,258 a person) in India that includes three days in the city of Rishikesh to practice yoga on the banks of the Ganges.Intrepid has more wellness
trips this year,according to the company's travel director,Leigh Barnes,because the number of travelers who booked them increased significantly in 2017—in the United States alone,the jump was 88 percent from 2016.\" We're seeing that travelers who traditionally wanted to indulge on a vacation are now searching for trips that help them maintain their personal wellness,\" Mr.Barnes said.
(J) In the air travel space,both airlines and airports are stepping up their efforts in numerous ways toward keeping travelers healthy.
(K) Singapore Airlines,for instance,recently introduced Deliciously Wholesome,in-flight meals that were designed with the help of a nutritionist and are rich in complex carbohydrates,lean proteins and fiber.The dishes vary by class,but as an example,economy passengers can expect quinoa with ratatouille and chickpeas,and Oriental-style steamed fish.
(L) Delta Air Lines offers guided meditation (冥想) at its Asanda Spa Lounges in its Sky Clubs at John F.Kennedy International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.Called Deepak Chopra Dream Weaver,the service can be booked for either 30 or 50 minutes,at a cost of $30 and $50 respectively,and is a light-and-sound experience in which fliers sit in a zero gravity chair and listen to a meditation led by Dr.Chopra.Delta's service is limited to those who have access to Sky Clubs,but all travelers flying through Denver International Airport have the option of practicing meditation and yoga:Since last November,the airport's Concourse A has been home to Yoga on the Fly,a studio with five 60-square-foot rooms that offer iPads loaded with yoga and meditation sessions; fliers interested in trying a session can rent these rooms in increments of 15 minutes ( the cost is $1 per minute).
(M) Avery Westlund,the company's co-founder and a certified yoga instructor,said she came up with the idea for Yoga on the Fly because her frequent travels left her physically and emotionally exhausted.\" Travel can be a grind,and yoga and meditation are simple and efficient ways to alleviate the stress,\" she said.The company expects to open locations at two more airports in the United States by early 2018.
(N) Airports are a setting where travelers at least have the option to walk as a way to squeeze in some exercise,but traditional safari trips usually involve morning and evening game drives and few opportunities for activity.Now,some safari outfitters are breaking the same-old mold by giving travelers ways to keep fit.
(O) The luxury company Micato Safaris provides its clients with a yoga mat,free weights and a jump rope.Runs through the bush in Kenya with Maasai warriors can also be arranged.And then there's a new 10-day private running safari in Kenya ( from $7,850 a person) ,where travelers visit the high-altitude destinations of Eldoret and Iten to meet and train with elite runners.\" Our clients were telling us that they didn't want to sacrifice their workouts while they were on vacation,\" said Melissa Hordych,the company's general manager.\"We've tried to help them by giving them creative and fun ways to move.\"
Although wellness rooms at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills charge higher than regular rooms,they prove to be a success.

13.Where to Get Healthier in 2018
(A) From hotels and cruises to airports,airlines,safaris (游猎) and group tours,wellness promises to be everywhere in the world of travel.Five years ago wellness on the road meant heading to a destination spa to embark on a specific program such as weight loss or staying at a hotel with a nice gym; more recently,the concept has evolved to include all categories of travel,and encompasses overall physical and emotional health.
(B) The data to support the rising interest in wellness travel abounds.According to the Global Wellness Institute,a nonprofit organization for the wellness industry,the wellness travel market grew to $563 billion in 2015 from $489 billion in 2013,and is expected to grow another 43 percent to $808 billion between 2015 and 2020.Travelers made 691 million trips with a wellness component,such as healthy eating or fitness,in 2015,104.4 million more than in 2013.
(C) In addition,in 2016,the luxury travel network Virtuoso launched Virtuoso Wellness,a portfolio of 42 hotels and cruise lines.The company's sales for these wellness partners (Rosa Alpina,in Italy's Dolomites Mountains,and Uniworld River Cruises are examples) were up 20 percent last year compared with sales for the company's other suppliers,which increased nine percent.
(D) Beth McGroarty,the research director for the Global Wellness Institute,said that the profusion (大量) of wellness programs in travel has redefined the purpose of a vacation.\"Vacations used to be associated with excess.You would have lavish meals,drink a lot and party,\" she said.\"In today's high-stress world,however,people are desperate for rejuvenation (恢复活力 ) and are prioritizing wellness when they have time off.\"

解析:由题干中的safari、rarely和chance定位到原文N)段第一句。第一句指出,传统的游猎通常包括早晚的驾车探险,很少有机会让游客们活动。由此可知,在过去参加游猎的游客们很少有机会锻炼身体。题干中的in the past、rarely got a chance和work out分别对应定位句中的traditional、few opportunities和activity,故N)为答案。
17.Where to Get Healthier in 2018
(A) From hotels and cruises to airports,airlines,safaris (游猎) and group tours,wellness promises to be everywhere in the world of travel.Five years ago wellness on the road meant heading to a destination spa to embark on a specific program such as weight loss or staying at a hotel with a nice gym; more recently,the concept has evolved to include all categories of travel,and encompasses overall physical and emotional health.
(B) The data to support the rising interest in wellness travel abounds.According to the Global Wellness Institute,a nonprofit organization for the wellness industry,the wellness travel market grew to $563 billion in 2015 from $489 billion in 2013,and is expected to grow another 43 percent to $808 billion between 2015 and 2020.Travelers made 691 million trips with a wellness component,such as healthy eating or fitness,in 2015,104.4 million more than in 2013.
(C) In addition,in 2016,the luxury travel network Virtuoso launched Virtuoso Wellness,a portfolio of 42 hotels and cruise lines.The company's sales for these wellness partners (Rosa Alpina,in Italy's Dolomites Mountains,and Uniworld River Cruises are examples) were up 20 percent last year compared with sales for the company's other suppliers,which increased nine percent.
(D) Beth McGroarty,the research director for the Global Wellness Institute,said that the profusion (大量) of wellness programs in travel has redefined the purpose of a vacation.\"Vacations used to be associated with excess.You would have lavish meals,drink a lot and party,\" she said.\"In today's high-stress world,however,people are desperate for rejuvenation (恢复活力 ) and are prioritizing wellness when they have time off.\"
(E) Leisure travelers looking to partake in a little—or a lot of—self-care are spoiled for choice,particularly in the hotel space where many of the big brands are incorporating wellness into guest rooms.
(F) Westin Hotels & Resorts has a growing roster of properties,including ones in Melbourne and Milan,that will feature WestinWorkout rooms,accommodations where guests have the choice of either an in-room treadmill or stationary bike.
(G) In December,Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills introduced seven wellness rooms in partnership with the wellness real estate company Delos.The amenities include toiletries from the beauty brand Lather that are made with natural ingredients,air purification systems that reduce allergens and promote restful sleep,showers with dechlorinators,and healthy in room dining menus created in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic.A night's stay in a wellness room starts at $600—$50 more than regular room rates—and the hotel's general manager,Michael Newcombe,said that the demand for them has been notable.\" Our regular clients asked us to bring wellness into the privacy of their rooms,and these new accommodations were our answer,\" he said.
(H) Cruises,too,are increasingly embracing wellness,especially by offering health-focused voyages:The adventure cruise line Linblad Expeditions,for one,in partnership with the exercise and spa brand Exhale,began a series of three- and four-day well-being trips ( starting prices from $1,990 a person) in December around Mexico's Baja Peninsula.Guests on the journeys choose from activities like kayaking around the Baja coastline,snorkeling with sea lions and classes led by an Exhale instructor like power yoga and high intensity interval training.
(I) Some travel companies are also offering more itineraries (旅程) with wellness themes.Intrepid Travel will run 50 wellness-focused group trips this year,compared with 20 in 2017.One addition is the 12-day Golden Triangle:Yoga & Bollywood Edition ( from $1,258 a person) in India that includes three days in the city of
Rishikesh to practice yoga on the banks of the Ganges.Intrepid has more wellness trips this year,according to the company's travel director,Leigh Barnes,because the number of travelers who booked them increased significantly in 2017—in the United States alone,the jump was 88 percent from 2016.\" We're seeing that travelers who traditionally wanted to indulge on a vacation are now searching for trips that help them maintain their personal wellness,\" Mr.Barnes said.
(J) In the air travel space,both airlines and airports are stepping up their efforts in numerous ways toward keeping travelers healthy.
(K) Singapore Airlines,for instance,recently introduced Deliciously Wholesome,in-flight meals that were designed with the help of a nutritionist and are rich in complex carbohydrates,lean proteins and fiber.The dishes vary by class,but as an example,economy passengers can expect quinoa with ratatouille and chickpeas,and Oriental-style steamed fish.

21.In much of the rich world 65 still marks the beginning of old age.Jobs end,subsidized bus travel begins and people start to be seen as a financial burden rather than an asset to the state.The larger the \"65-plus\" group becomes,compared with the population of working age,the more policymakers worry about the costs of their health care and pensions.By the end of the century the \"old-age dependency ratio\" ,which tracks this relationship,will triple.Pessimists predict a \"silver tsunami\" that will bankrupt us all.But does it still make sense to call 65-year-olds \" old\" ?
The Oxford English dictionary defines \" old\" as \" having lived for a long time\".It illustrates the sense with an accompanying phrase,\"the old man lay propped up on cushions\" :the old person as one who has made all the useful contributions he can possibly make to society and is now at rest.When pensions were first introduced in Prussia,in the 1880s,this was probably a fair characterisation for anyone over 65.Not many people lived beyond this age; those who did were rarely in good health.But today many 65-year-olds are healthy and active.Donald Trump ( 71) may be many things,but old he is not,nor for that matter is Vladimir Putin ( 64) ,who qualifies for his bus pass in October.Yet governments and employers still treat 65 as a cliffs edge beyond which people can be regarded as \"old\" :inactive,and an economic burden.
This is wrong,for three reasons.First,what \" old\" means is relative.Today the
average 65-year-old German can expect to live another 20 years.So can most people in other rich countries,meaning old age now arguably kicks in later than before.Second,the term carries an underlying implication about health,or at least fitness.But healthy-life expectancy has grown roughly in tandem with life expectancy; for many,70 really is the new 60.Third,surveys show that the majority of younger over-65-year-olds increasingly want to stay actively involved in their communities and economies.Few want to retire in the literal sense of the word,which implies withdrawing from society as a whole.Many want to continue working but on different terms than before,asking for more flexibility and fewer hours.
It can be concluded from the first paragraph that _____ . 无(分数:1.00)
A.the \"65-plus\" group can enjoy some special welfare √ B.the \"65-plus\" group is the precious treasure of a country C.pessimists are more likely to go bankrupt

全文翻译
在大多数富裕国家,65岁仍标志着老年阶段的开始。人们结束工作,开始领公共汽车乘车补贴出行,并开始被看作是财政负担,而不是国家的财富。与工作年龄的人口相比,“65岁以上”群体的规模越大,政策制定者就越担心他们在医保和养老金方面的花费。到本世纪末,跟踪这种关系的“老龄扶养比率”将增长至目前的三倍。悲观主义者预测,一场“银发海啸”将会使我们所有人破产。但依然把65岁的人称作“老人”是否真的合理呢?牛津英语词典将“老”定义为“活了很长时间”,并用一个附带的短语进一步解释:“老人倚靠在垫子上”:老人曾竭尽所能为社会做出自己的贡献,现在停下来休息了。十九世纪八十年代,当普鲁士首次引入养老金制度时,这对65岁以上的人来说也许是个公平的描述。那时很少有人能活到65岁以上,而且那些年龄超过65岁的人中也很少有人拥有良好的健康状况。但如今,许多65岁的人依然健康而活跃。
唐纳德·特朗普(71岁)可能有很多问题,但他并不老;弗拉基米尔·普京(64岁)也谈不上老:尽管他在10月份就有资格获得公共汽车通行证了。
堡政府和雇主仍然将65岁视作悬崖边缘,超过这个界线的人就被视为“老”:无所作为,成为经济负担.这一观点是错误的,原因有以下三点。第一,“老”的意思是相对的。如今,65岁的德国人平均有望再活20年。其他富裕国家的大多数人也是如此,这就意味着,
现在的老年比以前来得更晚了。第二,“老”这个词对健康状况带有潜在的暗示,或者至少是在体质方面。
但健康预期寿命大致上是与预期寿命同步增长的;对于许多人来说:70岁才是新的60岁。
第三,调查显示,大多数65岁以上稍年轻些的人群越来越希望积极参与社区和经济活动。很少有人想按字面意义退休,那意味着退出整个社会。很多人还想要继续工作,但与以前不同的是,他们要求更多的灵活性和更少的工作时间。
26.The American Psychological Association ( APA) warns that the loneliness epidemic now represents a threat to public health that exceeds that of obesity.
Before getting into the specifics,we need to have a clear understanding of what loneliness is,and what it isn't:Loneliness is defined subjectively,not objectively.In other words,what matters is not how many friends you have or how many people you have around you on a daily basis.Rather,what matters is whether you feel emotionally or socially disconnected from others.Indeed,many people who are married and live with family members report feeling significant loneliness,because they feel emotionally disconnected from their partners and loved ones.
The most tragic and compelling aspect of the loneliness epidemic is how preventable it is.The problem is a fundamental lack of awareness,both for lonely people and for those around them.It isn't easy to approach a friend or loved one and express concerns about their smoking habits or their obesity,yet many of us do so regardless.But how many of us have approached a friend or loved one to discuss our concerns about their loneliness ?
Public dialogues about the dangers of smoking and of obesity have gone on for
decades.People who smoke and those who struggle with obesity are aware that their health and longevity are at risk.But lonely people are largely unaware of the risks they face,as are their friends and loved ones.Consider that when a loved one smokes,there is nothing we can do to help them other than urge them to change their habits and lifestyle.But when it comes to loneliness,we can actually be the solution:We can reach out,call,visit,and include them in activities and get-togethers,We can initiate deeper,more meaningful conversations and make them feel seen and loved.
Solutions should come from within our neighborhoods and communities as well.Local municipalities and neighborhood associations could organize activities for retired persons.Schools can urge students to visit with homebound people or those with limited mobility.The options for interventions are numerous.

A.those who often hang out with friends are less likely to feel lonely B.those who live with family members are less likely to feel lonely
C.those who are married are more likely to feel lonely than unmarried ones D.those who lack communication with partners are more likely to feel lonely √ 解析:推理判断题。由题干中的the second paragraph定位到第二段。第二段第一句首先指出孤独是从 主观上界定的,而不是客观上。接着,第二句和第三句解释道,一个人孤独与否重要的不是看你有多少朋友或者每天身边有多少入围绕着你,而是要看你是否在情感上或社交上与他人脱节。由此判断,那些与伴侣缺乏交流的人更容易感到孤独,故答案为D)。

解析:主旨大意题。由题干定位到全文。文章第一段指出,现在孤独流行病对公众健康构成的威胁超过了肥胖,第二段探讨了孤独是什么,指出什么样的人会感到孤独,第三、四段指出人们普遍忽视了孤独的危害,第五、六段谈到了一些缓解孤独的办法。综合来看,整篇文章都是围绕“人们应该认真对待孤独对公众健康的威胁”这一话题展开的,故答案为C)。
全文翻译
美国心理协会(APA)警告称,现在孤独流行病对公众健康构成的威胁超过了肥胖。在讨论细节之前,我们需要清楚地了解孤独是什么以及不是什么:孤独是从主观上界定的,而不是客观上。换句话说,重要的不是你有多少朋友或者每天身边有多少人围绕着你。
相反,重要的是你是否在情感上或社交上与他人脱节。事实上,许多已婚并与家庭成员生活在一起的人称自己感到非常孤独,因为他们感到自己与伴侣和所爱之人在情感上是脱节的。孤独流行病最可悲、最令人关注的一个方面是它有多容易预防。
问题在于孤独者以及他们身边的人都对孤独缺乏根本的认识。要接近朋友或所爱之人并表达对他们吸烟习惯或肥胖的担忧并不容易,但我们中的许多人还是会去做。
然而,我们当中又有多少人曾接近你的朋友或所爱之人来谈论我们对他们孤独的担忧呢?公众对吸烟和肥胖的危害的对话已经持续了几十年。吸烟的人和那些与肥胖作斗争的人都意识到他们的健康和寿命正处于危险之中。
但是孤独的人在很大程度上并没有意识到他们所面临的风险,他们身边的朋友和所爱之人也忽视了这一点。 想一想,当我们所爱之人吸烟时,除了敦促他们改变生活习惯和生活方式外,我们无能为力。
而谈到孤独时,实际上我们能解决这个问题:我们可以联系他们,给他们打电话,拜访他们,拉他们参加一些活动和聚会。我们可以发起更深入、更有意义的对话,让他们感受到被关注和被爱。解决方案也应该来自我们的居住区和社区。地方政府和社区协会可以为退休人员组织活动。学校可以鼓励学生拜访那些闲居在家或行动受限的人。可选的干预措施有很多。

31.Whether College Students Should Open Online Shops 无(分数:1.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
正确答案:(高分范文
Should College Students Open Online Shops?
With the popularity of online trading,a growing number of college students are joining the trend of opening online shops.Opinions on whether college students should open online shops vary.For my part,I entirely approve of the practice.
Firstly,opening online shops is a good opportunity for students to put the textbook knowledge into practice.In the process of running online shops,they are required to grasp relevant knowledge in order to make a profit,and thus their later studies will become more purposeful and efficient.Secondly,opening online shops gives the students on campus a chance to equip themselves with adequate skills such as interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities,which cannot be learned from textbooks but are of great significance.Thirdly,if the online shop works well,students will earn a good income.In view of its marketing mode,even if the online shop fails,students will have nothing to lose.
In any case,it's noteworthy that the prerequisite for college students to open online shops is to ensure that their study will not be interfered with.)
