Most people feel lonely sometimes,but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.(36)D In fact,it is quite normal.For some people,though,loneliness can last for years.Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon,and have identified 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,situation-for example,family problem,the death of a loved one,or moving to a new place.(37)C
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the others,chronic (the opposite of"temporary")usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.(38)FUnfortunately,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 person's social contacts,for example,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.(39)G
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 chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease.(40)B

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了大多數(shù)人都會感覺到孤獨,其實孤獨分為三種,不同的孤獨有不同的癥狀.
解答 36.D 推理判斷題.從后面一句的"In fact,it is quite normal."可知這種情況不嚴重,很正常;故選D.
37.C 推理判斷題.這是介于第一種和第三種的孤獨癥,時間應(yīng)該介于temporary和more than two years之間,所以選擇C.
38.F 推理判斷題.從上下文Unfortunately,many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition可以判斷此處應(yīng)該是講述第三種孤獨癥的癥狀.所以選擇F.
39.G 推理判斷題.從上文的"though lonely people may have many social contacts,they sometimes feel they should have more"可知他們沒有安全感,不夠自信.接下來就是質(zhì)疑自己,選擇G.
40.B 推理判斷題.從最后一段的第一句Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons可知本段講述的是專家介入孤獨癥患者治療的原因.從連詞what's more也可以進一步確定答案是B.
點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.
