　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　Feeling lonely can make you sick.Doctors have long known that loneliness is associated with heart troubles，viral infections，and higher death rates.What they didn’t know is how this feeling causes illness.A study in the September issue of the online journal Genome Biology suggests that loneliness actually affects the very core of our bodies—our genes.

　　In a small population of patients，researchers surveyed more than 20,000 genes using DNA skills to compare how the genes of lonely and nonlonely individuals express themselves in molecular (分子) processes and，ultimately，in personal health.They found that gene expression is different at 209 sites in chronically lonely people and that many of those changes fit a pattern of elevated immune activation，inflammation (炎癥)，and depressed response to infection.“We now have a molecular framework for understanding the relationship between social experience and physical health，”explains the study’s lead author，Steve Cole.

　　The study found that loneliness decreases the response of some body receptors，cutting off the immune control and anti－inflammatory effects of the stress－related hormone that also helps regulate the conversion of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to energy.The depressed response of the stress－related hormone concurs with the known effects of loneliness and provides a potential target for treatment.

　　“This study—the first to link feelings with gene changes—is in some sense groundbreaking，”says Emma Adam，an associate professor at Northwestern University.“It fills in the black box.”

　　According to John Cacioppo，an author of the study and a psychologist from the University of Chicago，the work suggests that loneliness is a warning sign，much like physical pain.“This very process of feeling bad because of disconnection contributes to what it means to be human，”he says.“It makes us care for other people and want to reconnect when we’re disconnected.”

　　41.From the passage we know lonely people________.

　　A．have higher rates of diseases

　　B．have bad and little genes

　　C．are full of energy

　　D．are quick to the responses of some body receptors

　　42．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．The lonely people’s gene expression is quite different from the gene pattern of some diseases.

　　B．Researchers and doctors can deal with loneliness by regulating the stress－related hormone.

　　C．Loneliness is a warning sign of physical pain.

　　D．The study of loneliness is of little value at present.

　　43．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to__________.

　　A．the work

　　B．the process of feeling bad

　　C．loneliness

　　D．to be human

　　44．Which of the following is the best suggestion to lonely people?

　　A．Go to hospital to have a medical examination once a week.

　　B．Take more social activities.

　　C．Take more physical exercises.

　　D．Ring your friends when you need their help.

　　45．What’s the best title for the passage?

　　A．Feeling Lonely Can Make You Sick

　　B．A Survey on Loneliness

　　C．Why Loneliness Is Bad for You

　　9．B　根據句子的意思可知，此處應該是“對于她來說，生活很困難”，所以要選for whom。

　　10．C　the professor introduced to the students是定語從句，其中introduced的后面缺少賓語，四個選項中只有that可作賓語。
