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.
【C2】
选项 A、division
B、isolation
C、independence
D、separation
答案B
解析 通过本句后面的togetherness(聚会)一词可知，有些人在庆典或假期时反倒感觉……。本空格应该填与togetherness相对应的词，意思是人越多，越感到寂寞，故选B项isolation“孤立状态”。A项division“分割；分离”和D项separation“分离”意思相近，意为将某一部分从整体中分隔开来或分离出去；除此之外，separation还有两人分离、分居的意思，但都没有孤独寂寞的含义。C项independence“独立；自立”是褒义词，与孤独无关。
