long journey to bee famous. D I have always been somebody who often alternated(交替 )between hoping to be alone and hoping to be with others. The thing was, I only wanted to be with others in a very particular way. I wanted to feel warmth between me and the other person. I wanted to feel safe and fortable. I wanted to feel close. If my relationship with someone didn’t have closeness, it tended to make me feel lonlier than just being alone. I found most of the advice out there about how to get over loneliness futile. “Put yourself out there more!” the experts said. “Meet more people and you will finally find good friendships.” That only sounded reasonable. Most of us already have people in our lives with whom we feel that spark(火花 )of connection, and we just don’t know how to properly fan the flames. We don’t know how to move from mon interacting with someone to being close. In other words, I’ve found that most of us who fight against loneliness do not lack access to other people. That’s not the source of the pain. The source of the pain is the lack of a certain feeling in our relationships. And that feeling is closeness. This feel of closeness is what you really want when you are lonely. The feeling of closeness arises between two people when they both feel that the other understands them well and cares about them deeply. I call these two important qualities of closeness “knowing and caring”. Taken together, knowing and caring are a powerful bination. They say to the other person, “Not only do I see the real you, but I want to keep the real you well.” This is the message you will give and receive from close relationships. Getting to know others in the way that improves closeness means ing to understand them from their own perspective(角度 ). Closeness doesn’t have to be something that happens by accident it is within your control to create. Starting now, you really can stop being lonely. 32. What does the underlined word “futile” mean? A. Unhelpful. B. Wonderful. C. Useful. D. Unbelievable. 33. According to the author, most people who feel lonely _______ . A. should make more new friends B. don’t lack chances to contact other people C. don’t know how to express their feelings D. refuse to change their attitudes toward others 34. According to the passage, the feeling of closeness is ______ . A. what we really need in our daily life B. something we can’t control or create C. based on understanding and valuing each other D. the most important for building a good relationship 35.

Retirement is no joke, as you’ll learn by 50. As you stare at the poor reality of your retirement, you might find yourself counting every penny you wasted on worthless things. So pack your lunch, find street parking or take the bus. 36 Travel more. You’re only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a spouse (配偶 )and kids, it’s a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer. Consider working abroad. 37 Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smart phone. Slow down. Too many of us waste precious moments because we’re too busy connecting to our digital products or on social media. Life is short. Enjoy it. We think a reader put it perfectly: “I would not have been so busy to be successful and work 80 hours a week. 38 I would have defined myself by more than what I did for a living.” 39 As the saying goes, nobody can take your acplishments away from you. Education is one of those acplishments. Many readers wished they would have either gone to college. Whether it’s bad to land you the career of your dreams, or to meet people from different walks of life or to learn to see things a little differently, education is always a good choice. 40 By 25 you might have noticed your metabolism(新陈代谢 )slowing down. Looking after yourself at this time is about creating habits (and breaking bad ones) that will lead to a long life in which you’re healthy enough to do everything you want to do. A. Get a better education. B. Consider your health. C. I would have enjoyed my life slowly. D. Visit the city you dream about all day. E. Focus on trying to build a good credit history. F. Remember that a penny saved is a penny earned. G. So never be afraid to stand up for yourself and speak your mind. 第三部分 英语知识 运用(共两节,满分 45分) 第一节 完形填空(共 20小题;每小题 ,满分 30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项( A、 B、 C和 D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Born without the right hand, 12yearold Cassie Stewart often had to sit out during music classes.
