Psychologists say there are two different kinds of loneliness.答案:B解析 1-10 Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually lasts only between a few minutes and a few hours. Thi

5、s kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this complex phenonmenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already indentified three different types of l

6、oneliness. 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, a divorce, the death of a loved one, or m

7、oving 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. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type

8、, chronic 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. P

9、sychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, i. e. , friends, family members, coworkers, 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 friend

10、s share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that the number of social contacts we have is not the only reason for loneliness. It is more important how many social contacts we think or expect we should have. In other words, though lonely people may have many social con

11、tacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity. Most researchers agree that the loneliest people are between the ages of 18 and 25, so a group of psychologists decided to study a group of college freshmen. They found that more than 50 percent of the freshmen wer

12、e situationally lonely at the beginning of the semester as a result of their new circumstances but had adjusted after a few months. Thirteen percent were still lonely after seven months due to shyness and fear. They felt very uncomfortable meeting new people, even though they understood that their f

13、ear was not rational. The situationally lonely freshmen overcame their loneliness by making new friends, but the chronically lonely remained unhappy because they were afraid to do so. Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons. First of all, they are unhap

14、py and unable to socialize. Secondly, researchers have found a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illnesses such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

19、om microscopic electronic parts to giant aircraft carriers and supertankers. About two-thirds of the workers in manufacturing actually make products. These employees include craftworkers, skilled and semiskilled workers, and unskilled laborers. Craftworkers are highly skilled in such trades as tool

20、designing, tool and die making, and tailoring. Many craftworkers supervise other employees. Skilled workers, who include engravers, machinists, printers, and welders, use special job skills to make items or to operate machinery. Semiskilled workers include machine operators and assistants to skilled

21、 workers. Many semiskilled occupations require workers to repeat the same task again and again.

28、arried student apartments, and the international houses. Now, there is some space available in each type, but they are filling up fast. You should get your application in as soon as possible. Let me explain some of the main features of each type of housing. The student dorms are for any student. We

34、ic of the talk?A.How quartz sand is formed.B.How underground water differs.C.How rain is formed.D.How water tables change.答案:B解析 18-20 Last week we were discussing the way weather conditions wear away rock. At that time in talking about bow rainwater affects rock, we concentrated on what happens to

35、the rock. Today well talk about what happens to the water. You know that rainwater usually alters rocks and soil chemically as it filters into the ground. This process results in ground water that contains dissolved irons and other materials from the plant and animal life on and in the soil. We use

36、the terms soft water and hard water to indicate the extent to which water has minerals dissolved in it. Soft water has few impurities or none at all. Hard water contains calcium plus other dissolved minerals. Hard water is normally drinkable, but it may have a slight taste because of the various iro

37、ns in solution. One place where hard ground water can be found is below the water table in the soil-covered terrain with an underlying calcium base of limestone. Rainwater dissolves materials as it filters down, and these contribute to the ground waters taste and hardness. We can sometimes find grou

38、nd water that is almost dissolved as rainwater under a bare sandy hill or sand dune that is made of pure quartz sand. Analysis of such ground water showed that it has about the same amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in it as rainwater does and little else. This is because quartz is so insoluble tha

39、t for practical purposes it is inert and adds no dissolved substances to the water as it seeps into the ground. Now in view of the geological make-up of our own region, would you expect our ground water to be primarily hard or soft? Please look into the problem and give me your answers next Monday.

40、9. What characteristics of hard water does the speaker mention?A.It is undrinkable.B.It has minerals in it.C.It is slightly colored.D.It only tastes horrible.答案:B10. What does the speaker say about quartz?A.It usually absorbs mineral impurities.B.It is rarely found in sand dunes.C.It does not dissol

When was the organization of Red Cross established?答案: in 1859解析 21-30 Red Cross is the name and symbol of a worldwide voluntary organization. Its purpose is to help the wounded, sick, and prisoners

43、-of-war in time of war, and to do first aid, nursing, and welfare work in time of peace. In 1859 the sight of the French and ltalian wounded due to a battle in northern ltaly made a Swiss feel uneasy. His name was Jean Henri Dunant. He set out to rally the local townsfolk to care for them. He publis

44、hed a book urging that voluntary societies should be formed to do these jobs. As a result, the governments of several countries took part in an international conference at Geneva in 1864 and drew up a treaty called The Geneva Convention. The principle of this Convention was that in war the sick and

45、wounded, whatever their nationality, should be protected and cared for; and that the people looking after them, the transport conveying them, military hospitals and medical equipment should be safe from attack. Then a clearly marked red cross and white ground became the symbol of this. Certain count

46、ries used other forms. For example, in Persia a Red Lion and Sun is used instead of the Red Cross. By now nearly every nation has its own Red Cross Society with similar aims and objects. Since 1864 the original Convention has been revised several times, and the last revision was in 1949. Its princip

47、les now apply to shipwrecked persons and prisoners-of-war, and include certain measures for the protection of civilians in wartime. The International Red Cross Committee of twenty-five members, with permanent offices in Geneva, is the neutral which is particularly active in time of war. The Committe

48、e was the chief means of the Red Cross. Through this means regular supplies of parcels containing food and other necessities were sent to prisoners-of-war; and through this means postal messages came bringing news of civilians as well as prisoners-of-war to their family members and relatives. In 191

49、9 the League of Red Cross Societies was founded to develop and encourage the work of the national societies in peace-time, and to co-ordinate their work for refugees and their relief activities for the victims of hurricanes or typhoons, floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. In many count

50、ries, Red Cross are now also responsible for work such as the blood-supply program. The British Red Cross Society was first active in 1870. Its Voluntary Detachments of men trained in first aid and women in first aid and nursing became well known in both the First and the Second World Wars. They sta

51、ffed and administered hospitals and ambulances, transported the wounded in every theatre of war. They also helped to trace wounded and missing men. During the Second World War they undertook these and many additional duties. The Red Cross Voluntary Aid Detachments shared the work of civil defence in

52、 caring for civilian casualties of enemy action. In peace, much of the Societys welfare work is done by Red Cross members who are not trained as Voluntary Aid Attachments. The British Red Cross has overseas branches in the Crown colonies and dependencies where health teaching and maternity and child

53、 welfare are important aspects of the work. The first Junior Red Cross sections were formed in 1917, and by now many millions of boys and girls throughout the world are members of the organization. In Britain, after suitable training, they undertake service which is similar to adult members in carin
