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.
【C6】

选项 A、behavior
B、practice
C、phenomenon
D、work

答案C

解析 空格后的定语从句是对空格的解释说明。此从句提及寂寞存在于社会中,并像疾病一样……。所以这是一种社会现象,故选C项phenomenon“现象”。其他三个选项也都能与前面的social进行搭配。A项behavior“行为”,社会行为是指社会约定俗成的行为模式。寂寞这种行为并不是大多数人的固定行为。寂寞只是一种状态,不属于实践,B项practice“实践”不合理。寂寞更不是“社会工作”,D项work“工作”错误。
