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.
【C7】
选项 A、extend
B、spread
C、distribute
D、diffuse
答案B
解析 此处讲到寂寞的传染性。下一段对弗雷明汉市的儿童的问卷调查结果就可以说明了这一点：寂寞能像疾病一样传播传染，故应选B项spread“传播”。A项extend一般指物体在距离、范围上的延伸，比如河流、洞穴等。C项distribute“使分散；使分布”为及物动词，其后直接接宾语，如播撒种子。D项diffuse也有“传播”的意思，但是后面接知识、消息等。不接disease。
