33、of London literary society.Britain Against Napoleon This book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon.For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最優(yōu)的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(

34、人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britains own resources and manpower? In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger Knight looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and exami

35、nes how they made it possible to continue the war. The Beau Monde Hannah Greigs “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the worlds first fashion-obsessed(癡迷于時尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (約會) to Georgian Londons parks, pleasure grounds and pri

40、y get cut off or did the child socialize better? The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同齡人). However, in my friends opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child

41、is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a childs life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school. The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my

42、friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality

43、time the child spends in education is really impressive. Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a s

44、et of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members. When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a be

45、tter opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.61. What is the authors attitude towards his friends idea of homeschooling? A. Surprised. B.

46、 Interested. C. Confident. D. Negative.62. The authors purpose in writing the passage is to _. A. express his views on homeschooling. B. explain what homeschooling is.

47、interact with their peers often. B. They have more spare time to play. C. They are restricted to certain activities. D. They cant gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children? A. They will become braver. B. They can be more popular. C. The

48、y can be better at socializing. D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop? A. By following the order of importance. B. By following the order of time C. By making comparison. D. By presenting facts. (C) Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answ

49、er. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the bodys immune system. The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce i

50、nflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. “Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,” said study researcher Lisa Jaremka. Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134

51、 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems. In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels

52、 of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, “The immune system is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control. In the second study, t

53、he researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breast cancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mental math in front of people in white lab coats. After

54、the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases. People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If
