Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Teenagers are especially likely to suffer loneliness. Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.

Reach out to others, but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria won’t make you best friends. 【1】 It also can make it easier to interact the next time.

Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band 【2】 .

Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for acceptance and friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others. 【3】 Teach a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make after reaching out in these ways.

【4】 Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships, not of a particular quantity of friends. That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend. The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes.

You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in similar ways.

【5】 It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others.

A. But it will make you both feel pretty good.

B. So consider becoming a volunteer.

C. Some teens aren’t so adaptable, however.

D. Encourage people be friendlier to you.

E. Choose the right people.

F. For most young people, loneliness is only temporary.

G. Look for a group that allows you to ease in gradually.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，年轻人经常会感到孤独，文章中介绍了四种处理孤独的方法。

【1】A 本段的标题是Reach out to others, but start small.告诉我们要多和别人交往，但是起步要小。刚刚开始的时候，小小的行动会有很好的效果。横线前一句表示“一个微笑或友好的问候不一定会让你交到最好哦的朋友”，但是会让双方感觉都很好，会让下次交流变得更容易。所以A项正确。

【2】G 根据前两句If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band可知作者建议去参加一些团体活动，也许是一些特别的团队，这些团队会让你慢慢地放松下来。只有G项与上文转换的group一致，所以G项正确。

【3】B 本段主要讲述的是通过做其他的事情，让自己得到别人的认可来消除孤单。根据横线后两句Teach a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate.可知这些都是志愿者工作，故B项“So consider becoming a volunteer.”符合上下文。

【4】E 根据本段后两句That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend. The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes.可知选择朋友在对付孤独方面作用很大。所以要选择正确的人。故E项正确。

【5】F 根据横线后一句It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others.可知如果年轻人找到合适的方法处理孤独，孤独很快就会没有了。也就是说孤独都是暂时的。故F项正确。
