解析：1.主旨大意題。根據第二段InBritain,TraceyCrouchwasappointed

tobe

thefirstMinisterforLonelinessinordertoaddresstheissuescausedbyloneliness.Thisisthefirsttimesuchapositionhasbeencreated.以及全文內容可知,本文主要介紹為了解決人們的孤獨問題,英國設立了—個特殊的官職,即“孤獨大臣.”。故選D項。

2.詞義猜測題。根據文章第四段第三句Infact,doctorsbelievehavingfeelingsoflonelinessisequivalenttosmoking15cigarettesperdayinregardtoitsimpactonhealth!中的關鍵信息inregardtoitsimpactonhealth可知,此處作者表達的意思為醫生認為孤獨感對健康的影響“等同于”每天吸15支香煙。由此可推
