【分析】
考查翻译句子,注意按括号内的要求翻译。
1.考查concern的用法。concern oneself with/about...=be concerned with/about...,意为“关心……”。
故填concern yourself with/about或be concerned with/about。
2.考查倒装。only+状语(从句)置于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构;根据从句中的told可知,主句用一般过去时,故将did提前,故填did I know the truth。
3.考查状语从句。once引导时间状语从句,意为“一旦”;且根据主句时态可知,要用现在完成时,故填once he has made a decision。
4.考查as引导定语从句。根据句意并结合提示词可知,此处应用as引导定语从句,故填As he said at the meeting。
5.考查the way后跟定语从句的用法。当先行词是way,且关系词在从句中作状语时,应用in which或that引导定语从句,in which或that也可省略,故填the way(in which/that) this outspoken specialist speaks。
【点睛】
in which引导the way后的定语从句作方式状语时,in which可以用that代替或省略引导词,需要注意的是此时的that并非是代词性的that指代先行词的常规用法,而是副词作方式状语,相当于in which。

Feeling extreme loneliness can increase an older person’s risk of premature (过早的)death by 14 percent, according to research by John Cacioppo, professor of psychology at the University of Chicago.
Cacioppo and his colleagues’ work shows that the impact of loneliness on premature death is nearly as strong as the impact of disadvantaged socioeconomic status, which they found increases the chances of dying early by 19 percent. A 2010 meta﹣analysis showed that loneliness has twice as much impact on early death as obesity does, he said.
The researchers looked at dramatic differences in the rate of decline in physical and mental health as people aged. Cacioppo and his colleagues have examined the role of satisfying relationships on older people to develop their resilience ([rɪˈzɪliəns] 快速恢复的能力;适应力), the ability to feel better quickly after something unpleasant, and grow from stresses in life.
The consequences for health are dramatic, as feeling isolated or separated from others can disturb sleep, elevate blood pressure, increase morning rises in the stress hormone cortisol ([‘kɔ:tɪsɒl] 皮质醇), change the gene expression in immune cells, increase depression and lower overall subjective well﹣being, Cacioppo pointed out in a talk, “ Rewarding Social Connections Promote Successful Aging.”
Cacioppo, one of the nation’s leading experts on loneliness, said older people can avoid the consequences of loneliness by staying in touch with former co﹣workers, taking part in family traditions, and sharing good times with family and friends ﹣ all of which give older adults a chance to connect with others about whom they care and who care about them.
”Retiring to Florida to live in a warmer climate among strangers isn’t necessarily a good idea if it means you are disconnected from the people who mean much to you,” said Cacioppo. Population changes make understanding the role of loneliness and health all the more important,he explained. “People have to think about how to protect themselves from depression, low subjective well﹣being and early death. “
Although some people are happy to be alone, most people develop from social situations in which they provide mutual support and establish a strong bond. Evolution encourages people to work together to survive and accordingly most people enjoy companionship compared to be alone.
It is not solitude (独处)or physical isolation itself, but rather the subjective sense of isolation that Cacioppo’s work shows to be so destructive. Older people living alone are not necessarily lonely if they remain actively engaged in social life and enjoy the company of those around them. Some aspects of aging, such as blindness and loss of hearing, however, place people at special risk of becoming isolated and lonely, he said.
