Loneliness and being alone are not synonymous . loneliness is a state of painful isolation,of feeling cut off from friends and family.

[单项选择]Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:

It might be supposed that greater efficiency could be achieved if several people worked together to solve a problem than if only one individual works on it.

Success in problem solving also depends on the distribution of ability within a group.

[单项选择]Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:

Do we need laws that prevent us from running risks with our lives If so, then perhaps laws are needed prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks.
We’ve already tried that. For 13 years, between 1920 and 1933, there were no liquor stores anywhere in the United States. They were shut down--abolished by an amendment(修正案). After January 20, 1920, there was supposed to be no more manufacturing, selling, or transporting of "intoxication liquors." Without any more liquor, people could not drink it. And if they did not drink it, how could they get drunk There would be no more dangers to the public welfare from drunkenness and alcoholism. It was all very logical. And yet prohibition of liquor, beer, and wine did not work. Why
Because, law or no law, millions of people still liked to drink alcohol
A. there would be no further danger to the public from alcoholism
B. there would be a rise in the cost of alcoholic beverages
C. Without liquor, people would not drink
D. people would not become drank or create a public nuisance
