17. C解析:一旦你放弃了独处,那么就很难 再找回来。此处用连词once引导条件状 语从句,符合语境。
though意为“尽管”,
引导让步状语从句;until意为“直到”,引 导时间状语从句;before意为“在……之 前”,引导时间状语从句,均不符合上下文 语境。

第三部分书面表达(共两节,满分35分)
第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
So you’re between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question,according to a survey—more than 100 questions asked of 1 ,280 people aged 13-24 carried out by the Associated Press on the nature of happiness among America^ young people.
Next was spending time with friends. And good news for parents: nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy.
“They’re my foundation ,” says Kristina St. John,17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. “My mum tells me that even if I do something stupid,she's still going to love me. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy. ”
Other results are more disconcerting. While most young people are happy with the way their lives are going,there are racial differences: the survey shows whites to be happier than blacks. A lot of young people feel stressed,particularly those from the middle class,and females more than males.
You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one said “money” when asked what makes them happy,though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However,having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor (预示物) of happiness than income.
Young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.
Finally,when asked to name their heroes,nearly half of-them mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner,by a nose (以些微之差) :Mum.
56. What's the meaning of the underlined word “disconcerting” in Paragraph 4 ? (1 word)
57. What are the top two things that make young people happy? (No more than 10 words)
58. Do most American young people want to marry? Why? (No more than 10 words)
59. What can we infer from the last paragraph? (No more than 7 words)
60. Among the young people who would be more likely to feel stressed? (No more than 6 words)
