问题     【C1】________the way it feels, loneliness often has nothing to do with being alone. For some people, feelings of【C2】________are sharpest during times that are in fact defined by togetherness—celebrations or the holidays, for instance.
    【C3】________a bustling shopping mall or a buzzing holiday party, and even within a crowd—or perhaps especially in a crowd—it’s possible to feel unbearably alone.
    New research from experts in neuroscience and social science may give us some【C4】________as to why. Although we tend to think of it as a self-contained emotional state—a condition that【C5】________people individually, either by circumstance or by means of an antisocial personality—researchers now say that loneliness is more far-reaching than that. John Cacioppo, a psychologist at the University of Chicago, believes it is a social【C6】________that exists within a society and can【C7】________through it like a disease. And while everyone feels lonely once in a while, for some it becomes a(n)【C8】________condition, one that has been【C9】________with more serious psychological ills like【C10】________, sleep disfunction, high blood pressure and even a(n)【C11】________risk of dementia in older age.
    Cacioppo and his team【C12】________on the children in Framingham. The results were【C13】________: If one person reported feeling lonely at one【C14】________, his closest connections (either family or close friends) were 52% more【C15】________to also report feeling lonely two years later. The effect was strongest among those in close relationships, declining【C16】________the connections became more distant, but remained【C17】________up to three degrees of separation—【C18】________one lonely person could influence whether his friend’s friend’s friend felt lonely. "Loneliness has been【C19】________in the past as depression, introversion, shyness or poor social skills," says Cacioppo. "Those turn out not to be right. Research we and others have done suggests that it really is a fundamental human motivational state very much like hunger, thirst or pain."【C20】________simply reflecting the emotional state of one person, Cacioppo says, loneliness is more like an indicator of the social health of our species on the whole—a temperature reading.
【C13】
选项 A、fascinating
B、exciting
C、illuminating
D、frustrating
答案C
解析 调查结果发现，寂寞会传染给最亲密的人，甚至朋友的朋友的朋友。而且研究还发现，寂寞是人类基本的自发状态，是判断人类社会总体上健康与否的晴雨表。由此可知，调查结果具有很强的启发性，故选C项illuminating“富于启发的”。此次的调查只是针对寂寞这种现象进行的社会科学调查，调查结果的描述没有带有很重的感情色彩，所以不选A项fascinating“吸引人的”和B项exciting“使人激动的”。而D项frustrating“沮丧的”，是贬义的，而从下文得知，调查还是有不少成果的，调查结果并不令人沮丧。
