Loneliness is an emotion. We probably all experience it at some point, but loneliness is very complex and unique to each of us.
. Being alone is a choice. But feeling lonely isn't something we impose (强加于) on ourselves. In other words, you want to be around people, but something is making you feel unwanted, empty, or isolated, so you're not having the meaningful connection you seek.
When does it become a problem? , it can turn into a mental and physical health problem. It can be a symptom or cause of depression. It can affect self-worth. . That's why chronic (长期的) loneliness is linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, obesity and even other serious disorder.
To manage loneliness, you should accept and acknowledge it. Loneliness is a valid feeing. Don't brush it under the carpet, as that doesn't help solve the problem. Smell a flower or take a walk in nature, for example. Celebrate each small achievement. When you decide to change things and seek a connection with others, consider a like-minded group. A client of mine joined a sewing group and it was very successful.
The best approach to helping someone who is lonely is to sensitively ask how they are and what they're doing, and listen to the answer in a non-judgmental way. If you want to invite them to do something with you, do it. If they say no, don't be discouraged from asking again.
A. Seek joy in little things
B. If you try to get over loneliness
C. They might need time before feeling ready to say yes
D. When you're feeling lonely over a long period of time
E. There's a big difference between loneliness and being alone
F. You might also turn to food and not feel motivated to exercise
G. Nobody enjoys being told what to do whatever the circumstances

Coogle's parent company is winding down a project that used high-lying balloons to provide Internet services to hard-to-reach areas of the world.
The project, known as Loon, started in 2011. It was managed by Alphabet Inc. It aimed to bring connectivity to areas of the world where ground-based cell towers (手机信号塔) were too expensive or too difficult to set up.
But Loon was unable to reduce costs enough to make its business model run, the project' s leader, Alastair Westgarth, said in a blog post. "While we've found a number of willing partners along the way, we haven't found a way to get the costs low enough to build a long-term, competitive business," Westgarh said.
Loon's shutdown isn't surprising, economists said.
Loon's technology sent gas-filled balloons the size of tennis courts into the air. They usually stay at heights of around 60,000 to 75,000 feet. There, onboard communications equipment sent Internet signals back down to earth. The system was able to offer mobile coverage to an area 200 times larger than a traditional ground-based cell tower. However, a carrier would need several balloons at once, each would cost tens of thousands of dollars and last only about five months.
Alphabet wasn't alone in running projects aimed at offering Internet connection to hard-to-reach areas. Companies such as Amazon. com Inc. and Elon Musk's SpaceX have been making efforts to provide Internet connection in such places, using satellites in near Earth orbit.
Over the last few years, Loon's technology has proved successful in some suffering communities. In 2017, the project sent balloons into the skies above Puerto Rico after a terrible hurricane damaged the island's communications facilities. Two years later, soon after a 7. 8 earthquake struck parts of Peru, Loon's balloons began to provide the locals with mobile connectivity.
Rich Devaul, a founder of the project, said the need for mobile connectivity was rapidly rising recently. This made cell towers more cost-effective than he had expected ten years ago, reducing the need for Loon, "The problem got solved faster than we thought," he said in an interview.
(1)、Why is Alphabet shutting down Loon?A、Many local communities disliked the project. B、It was too costly to continue the project. C、The technology was no longer advanced. D、It was too difficult to sot up the systems(2)、How does the author introduce Loon's technology in paragraph 5?A、By describing difficulties in using it. B、By providing research results about it. C、By explaining is advantages and disadvantages. D、By showing its differences from traditional ones.(3)、What can we learn about the technology of Loon?A、It helped areas hit by natural disasters. B、It suited the need of developed countries, C、It was unable to work in terrible weather. D、It was less elective than traditional systen9.(4)、What was unexpected for Rich Devaul?A、Communications problems became worse. B、Cell towers became more economical in a short time. C、Other companies would run similar projectsD The Internet connections were getting faster.

4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The rapid and uncontrolled expansion of today's cities is causing anxiety not only among urban planners and architects, but also experts in the field of public health. They are alarmed that the disorder of the urban expansion is robbing the population of its basic health and well-being through environmental pollution, inadequate housing and the increasing numbers of neighbors who do not know neighbors.
Beijing, a city of over 21 million residents, is an example of this social isolation. Until the early 1980s, the Chinese capital, was constructed as quantities of Siheyuan. This open structure greatly strengthened contact between neighbors, encouraged the sharing of resources, and formed close relations between families. Because of these characteristics, these structures were described as "collections of small rural villages". Until the mid-1980s, only a few skyscrapers disrupted the harmony of the landscape. Today Beijing has the look and feel of a modern city, where these "small rural villages" have been replaced by towering skyscrapers. This striking change is not limited to outer structures; it has also dramatically changed the closeness of human relations.
Physical isolation has destroyed the local sense of solidarity (团结), and contributed to the destruction of what were once united family groups. As the distance between home and the workplace has also increased considerably, workers now find themselves devoting what was once valuable family time to exhausting commutes in overcrowded buses or subways.
The disordered growth of today's cities can no longer be ignored. The great challenge is how to improve the quality of urban life by ensuring harmonious growth. Skyscrapers should not be the only view people can see in a city. Old-fashioned but unique architecture reflects history, character — even the culture of a city. Cities should learn from the experiences of other cities with similar characteristics. This effort requires not only the participation of urban planners but public health and environmental experts, politicians, and fundamentally, the communities themselves.
(1)、What is the first paragraph mainly about?A、People in the city don't know their neighbors. B、Experts are concerned about housing problems. C、Cities' disordered development has caused problems. D、Environmental pollution is harmful to people's basic health.(2)、What can we learn about Beijing at present?A、People in Beijing become isolated. B、Siheyuan in Beijing becomes precious. C、The outer structure of Beijing becomes messy. D、Skyscrapers make Beijing become international.(3)、What does isolation in physical space probably lead to?A、Loss the citizens' sense of responsibility. B、People's freedom to enjoy the leisure time. C、Reconstruction of the united family groups. D、Workers being worn out on the way to work.(4)、Which statement will the author probably agree with?A、Cities should completely follow the pattern of other cities. B、The development of a city is at the expense of its elegance. C、Old-fashioned architectures and skyscrapers can coexist in a city. D、Communities play the most important role in harmonious growth of cities. -

Caroline Tegeret comes from a small village in the remote area of Kenya. Her academic journey began like many others though filled with tremendous difficulties. The biggest challenges Tegeret had to face was the financial one since seeking law as a career is expensive. Coming from a community where girls barely get past high school doesn't lighten the load in any way either.
Upon graduating in 2017, she joined Kenya School of Law in 2018. After college, she qualified herself as a lawyer of the High Court of Kenya on July 2. 2020. "My dream to pursue a career in law began way back in high school when I developed an interest in law," she said. What was her driving force? For Tegeret, it was the fact that in terms of development, her community was, and still is, far behind.
Her community has high illiteracy levels where plenty of girls have no opportunity to attend school. Terrible cultural practices like early marriage are still very common, robbing the youth of the opportunities to be educated. She knew quite early that for her to be able to bring change to the community, she needed to be equipped with the right tools through education and knowledge of the law.
As she burned the midnight oil, studying piles of history books and law cases, the memory of her father further inspired her. Her father's determination gave her strength and motivation to pursue her dream. Coming from a humble background, he stood out for her as an example of life's possibilities as he was able to succeed in his teaching career.
Tegeret wants to work with NGOs and government agencies to promote the rights of the minority. Her desire grows stronger when she finds many people can't speak for themselves. She wants to raise their voice and make them heard by the authorities.
Her remarkable achievement is a source of encouragement to many young girls whose dreams look too big compared to their life's circumstances. She wants to let them know they, too, have rights to choose their intended life.
(1)、What problem did Caroline Tegeret have in pursuing her dream?A、Her poor financial condition. B、Her early marriage engagement. C、The remote location of her family.

7、 第二节阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The whole city was quiet when my van(面包车)pulled up to a cafe. It was 8: 00 am and the businesses wouldn't be open for another three hours. When the students studying film production jumped out of the van and began unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver's seat reading.
I learned a long time ago that I was just the driver and was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need advice and help. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions and helping each other. Anything else that I might be able to tell them was not required and unwelcome. Sometimes, that made me feel a bit sad.
Emptied of its movie-related contents, the van now became the place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys so that if anything was needed I could open the van.
Knowing that. I could find a corner somewhere and finish reading the book, I got out of the van and looked for a place to sit down. It was early, but the California sun was already beating down, and I didn't want to sit in the heat. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away, I saw a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more people. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the other end.
The man looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he'd probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty and his hair was messy. I soon smelled the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of blacked-out teeth.
We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood and walked in front of me. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, "Thank you."
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly.
After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man.

9、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Emojis are widely used in our daily lives and have become important way of communication. The first emojis were created in 1999 by Japanese designer Shigetaka Kurita, worked on a mobile Internet platform (call)i-mode. Kurita attempted to develop a simple way for people (express)emotions in short text messages.
As emojis gained (popular), they faced a significant technical hurdle(障碍): early emojis could not (send)across different mobile platforms, since there was no standardized encoding(编码). This issue was resolved in 2010 by the Unicode Consortium, an organization responsible maintaining a standardized encoding of text and symbols across platforms. This allowed for cross-platform communication and continued expansion in emoji usage worldwide.
Given (they)origins in Japan, many early emoji characters were reflective of Japanese culture. As they've spread (global), new characters have been added to account for cultural differences and provide a more universal means of communication. Users must also consider cultural sensitivities when (communicate) via emojis, ascertain symbols can have hugely different meanings across different cultures.

According to the US government's dietary guidelines, people should eat 14 grams of fiber(纤维素)for every 1,000 calories you take in daily. But only around 9% of women and 3%of men in the US meet the fiber recommendations. So how do we add more fiber to our diets? .
Focus on getting fiber from a variety of plant-based foods
Researchers say your best bet is to get fiber from a variety of plant-based foods. That means eating different kinds of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, seeds and nuts. Think about sweet potatoes, brown rice and pumpkin seeds. , but they contain other vitamins and minerals that promote good health.
Take baby steps
. That's because you need to gradually increase your fiber intake in order to give your body time to adapt. For example, if you like to eat white bread, try eating one serving of whole w heat bread the first week. In the second week, eat two servings. Keep doing that until you've turned all your servings of white bread to whole w heat bread.
Everyone is different, and some people might be more sensitive to certain types of fiber than others. So when you increase your fiber intake, you can write down how various high-fiber foods affect you.
Don't forget to drink water
As you add more fiber to your diet, make sure to drink plenty of water as well. . It can also keep fiber from hardening, which can lead to more gas.
A. Rethink your salads
B. Here are some tips for getting there
C. You include fiber in your regular diet
D. Keep track of how high-fiber foods affect you
E. Not only are these foods a good source of fiber
F. If you don't eat a lot of fiber before, the key is to start slowly
G. It can help the fiber move through your digestive system smoothly

Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or hopping over crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
An air taxi is a small aircraft that can carry people from place to place. Air taxis don't need a long runway like planes do. They can go straight up and down, like a helicopter.
In June, the FAA—the government group in charge of America's skies—agreed to allow a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxi.
Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. But this is the first time that they're testing a taxi that's been built in a factory. Before that, all their taxis were made by hand.
By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. They've teamed up with Delta Air Lines to create a program to fly people from their homes to the airport. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride-sharing service in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi.
Compared with helicopters, Joby claims their taxis are cheaper. The company expects to charge about $3 a mile(1.6 kilometers)at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile.
Joby isn't the only company to develop air taxis. Companies around the world are working on similar vehicles. France even plans to use a few air taxis in Paris during next summer's Olympic Games.
But there's still a lot to do before air taxis become common. For one thing, governments need to make rules about where, when, and how these taxis can fly.
Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. The FAA says, "We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025."
(1)、What do the underlined words "hopping over" in paragraph 1 mean?A、Moving below. B、Walking across. C、Jumping into. D、Flying over.(2)、What can we know about Joby's air taxis?A、They are factory-made from the start. B、They were developed several years ago. C、They will offer service to passengers through the FAA. D、They will be used during the next Olympic Games in Paris.(3)、What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A、Joby's plan about air taxis. B、The history of Joby Aviation. C、Air taxi team's service promises. D、Instructions for using a new app.(4)、In what way are air taxis better than helicopters?A、They are more comfortable. B、They are more intelligent. C、They are cheaper. D、They are faster. -
13、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
An amusement park in France has come up with an unusual way of picking up litter. They have trained crows(乌鸦)to pick up small pieces of litter in order to earn a reward(奖励).
Puy du Fou is the second most popular theme park in France. The park puts on historical shows about different periods of time. For example, they have had shows about the time of the Vikings and the time of the Romans.
For some of the shows, Puy du Fou uses trained birds. At times as many as 300 birds fly at the same time. One day Christophe Gaborit, who works with the birds, started wondering if birds could be trained to pick up litter. Several years ago, Mr. Gaborit began working with two rooks. Rooks are a kind of crow. They are known for being clever and for working well with humans.
Mr. Gaborit created a special box to train his crows. The box had two drawers. The crows were trained to put a piece of litter into one drawer. When they did that. Mr. Gaborit would slide a board to show a small treat for the crow in the other drawer.
Once the crows learned that they could get food by putting litter in the box, they became good at flying around and picking up small pieces of litter. They always seemed to want more food. Mr. Gaborit said that sometimes the rooks would try to trick him by bringing back something that was not litter, like a piece of wood.
This year, Mr. Gaborit and Puy du Fou decided that they should train more crows, so that they could help clean the park. Nicolas de Villiers, who ran the park, said that one of their reasons for doing this was to show "that nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment".
(1)、Why do the rooks pick up litter?A、To earn a treat. B、To gain their master's love. C、To exchange for money. D、To protect the environment.(2)、How did Mr. Gaborit train his two crows?A、By teaching them the meaning. B、By using a special box. C、By showing them historical shows. D、By punishing wrong behaviors.(3)、What can we infer from paragraph 5?A、The rooks are very smart. B、Wood is some kind of litter. C、The rooks fly around to look for food. D、Mr. Gaborit is strict with the trained birds.(4)、Where is the text most likely from?A、A school textbook. B、A government report. C、A nature magazine. D、A research paper. -

Dr. Joseph Ditun also known as "Dr. Deep Sea", has just finished an amazing adventure. For 100 days, the University of South Florida teacher lived in a small room underwater. He set a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days.
The farther you go below the ocean's surface the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. In his undersea room. Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface. Dr. Dituri believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater. Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes online, and he had chats with over 5.500 students from 15 different countries on social media. Dr. Dituri worked with other marine experts to figure out ways to protect and take care of the ocean. He said what he missed the most when he was underwater was sunshine.
Dr. Dituri was smiling when he returned to the surface. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was OK. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became half an inch(1.3 centimeters)shorter during his time in the higher pressure undersea. He was also able to sleep much better. His health greatly improved in a couple of other ways, too.
Dr. Dituri said his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. "Who knows?" he said, "Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set."
(1)、What does Dr. Dituri think about the effect of high pressure on humans?A、It's dangerous. B、It's troubling. C、It's puzzling.
