We often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul? Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has, the feeling and identity of the self beyond age, and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual make a scientific foundation for the soul.

Despite the constant change in the links between our brain cells, we remain the same personality. This is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. Science journalist Michael Lemonick told the story of Lonni Sue, who suffered brain damage and was left unable to recall her past or to form new memories. Lemonick thought that Lonni Sue, when she lost her memories, lost her self. But once he got to know her, as well as people who knew her before and after her injury, Lemonick discovered that herself had not been destroyed. She was still cheerful in a way that made people around her feel better, and she was still creative and playful. So, despite memory loss, we still have the essence of our personality. Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.

Besides one’s personality being present despite memory loss, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually depends less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are.

Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very similar to each other in DNA, our view on reality is very different from individual to individual.

The soul of a person is challenging to prove scientifically. However, with each person’s personality being unique, the behavioral quality of thinking of the self beyond age, and our inevitable subjective experience, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and perception might not be tested, but they are very difficult to deny.

24. The author tells the story of Lonni Sue to show ________.

  A. the stability of people’s personality

  B. strange behaviors of mentally ill patients

  C. the chance for the mentally ill to form new memories

  D. the changes of the people who suffered brain damage

25. What does the underlined word “essence” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

  A. Past memory. B. Changeable belief.

  C. Optimistic attitude. D. Important nature.

26. What can we learn from the passage?

  A. Our body, mind and emotions tell who we are.

  B. The soul of a person changes as he or she grows old.

  C. Scientific research has already proved what makes up our soul.

  D. Our soul depends on our personality, consciousness and experience.

27. Which is the best title for this passage?

  A. Beyond identity

  B. Beyond memory

  C. Beyond age

  D. Beyond nature

C

You can tell a lot about people’s general state of mind based on their social media feeds. Are they always tweeting about their biggest annoyances or posting pictures of particularly cute kitties? In a similar fashion, researchers are turning to Twitter for clues about the overall happiness of entire geographic communities. 

What they’re finding is that regional variation in the use of common phrases produces predictions that don’t always reflect the local state of well being. But removing from their analyses just three specific terms -- good, love and LOL - greatly improves the accuracy of the methods.

“We’re living in a crazy COVID-19 era. And now more than ever, we’re using social media to adapt to a new normal and reach out to the friends and family that we can’t meet face-to-face.” Kokil Jaidka studies computational linguistics at the National University of Singapore. “But our words aren’t useful just to understand what we, as individuals, think and feel. They’re also useful clues about the community we live in.”

One of the simpler methods that many scientists use to analyze the data involves correlating words with positive or negative emotions. But when those records are compared with phone surveys that assess regional well-being, Jaidka says, they don’t paint an accurate picture of the local zeitgeist(时代精神).

Being able to get an accurate read on the mood of the population is no laughing matter. “That’s particularly important now, in the time of COVID, where we’re expecting a mental health crisis and we’re already seeing in survey data the largest decrease in subjective well-being in 10 years at least, if not ever.” 

To find out why, Jaidka and her team analyzed billions of tweets from around the United States. And they found that among the most frequently used terms on Twitter are LOL, love and good. And they actually throw the analysis off. Why the disconnect?

“Internet language is really a different beast than regular spoken language. We’ve adapted words from the English vocabulary to mean different things in different situations. ” says Jaidka. “Take, for example, LOL. I’ve tweeted the word LOL to express irony, annoyance and sometimes just pure surprise. When the methods for measuring LOL as a marker of happiness were created in the 1990s, it still meant laughing out loud.”

“There are plenty of terms that are less misleading,” says Jaidka. “Our models tell us that words like excited, fun, great, opportunity, interesting, fantastic and those are better words for measuring subjective well-being. ”

28. The researchers turn to social media feeds to _________.

  A. help with the analysis of people’s subjective well-being

  B. locate the most-frequently used words

  C. prove the disconnect between language and emotions

  D. make the prediction method more effective

29. How did Jaidka know the analysis wasn’t accurate?

  A. It didn’t reflect the mood of the entire geographic community

  B. It didn’t match the assessment result of the phone surveys.

  C. It didn’t consider the features of Internet language.

  D. It didn’t take the regional variations into account.

30. Which of the following statements will Jaidka most probably agree with?

  A. Face-to-face communication is needed to ensure happiness.

  B. Internet use is to blame for the decrease in subjective well-being.

  C. Internet language should be abandoned as a source of scientific analysis.

  D. Less misleading words should be used in assessing subjective well-being.

31. According to the article, which of the following terms would  fail to measure subjective well-being?

  A. fun    B. great       C. good      D. interesting

D

It was late on a Thursday evening in Austin, Texas, and I had just finished my shift downtown waiting tables. I hopped into my truck and headed away from the chaos to my own personal oasis, Dan’s Depot. It was on a four-lane road that went straight from the heart of Austin to West Texas. Once, Dan’s Depot had been outside of the city. But with Austin’s population growing and the city’s expansion, it was swallowed up by high-rise buildings and skyscrapers.

I’ve been familiar with Dan’s Depot since I played my first show there. Like most waiters in Austin, I’m actually a musician. The woman who welcomes customers is Dan’s wife Maude.

I slid my truck into the last free spot and headed to the door.“How’s it going, Maude?”I asked.

“David, I just don’t know what we’re going to do,”she said.“Our contract with the landlord is up for renewal at the end of the month, and he has doubled the rent. Even if we charged twice as much for the snacks and shows, we could never make ends meet.”

My heart dropped. On some level, I’d been expecting to hear this news for as long as I’d been coming to Dan’s Depot. After all, Dan’s Depot was now sandwiched between a shop selling yoga pants to people who could afford personal trainers and a luxury furniture store where even a simple dining chair cost more than $1,000. How could this little live music joint survive with those kinds of neighbors?

“What are you going to do with this place? Are you moving?”I asked.

She shook her head slowly.“I just don’t know. Dan and I are not as young as we used to be.”

I patted her on the shoulder and made my way to the tables near the stage. Memories sprung up in my mind. Most of my musical ideas came to me while I was watching live shows here at Dan’s Depot. When the song ended, I got up and went back to Maude.

“How about I run the new Dan’s Depot?”I asked her. She stared at me, surprised.

“Hear me out,”I said.“I’ve got enough money to go in with you and Dan as a third partner. I know the Texas music scene in and out, and I can get the best new bands in here every week. We’ll move it way down South Congress Avenue, where it’s still close enough to be accessible from downtown but the rent is more affordable. And most importantly, this place means a lot to me.”

Maude was still staring at me silently. I began to grow uneasy. Had I offended her? I started apologizing. She cut me off with a huge embrace.“Honey, I think that’s a fantastic idea.”

32. The underlined word“oasis”in Paragraph 1refers to a place where the author _____.

A. parks his truck   B. works full-time

C. grabs a meal at night    D. finds joy and relaxation

33. Why did the author say he had long expected to hear the news Maude told him?

A. He had felt the sandwiches in Dan’s Depot were too expensive.

B. He had thought Dan’s Depot was out of tune with its surroundings.

C. He had pointed out the management of Dan’s Depot was inefficient.

D. He had suggested Dan and Maude should retire early and enjoy their lives.

34. What does the author advise Maude to do?

A. Sell Dan’s Depot to him.   B. Hire him as a lead singer.

C. Find another way to run the business.   D. Advertise for a third partner.

35. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The power of music  B. Old traditions die hard

C. My respect for Maude   D. Every end is a new beginning

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. ___36___

Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. ___37___ If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice, it will come easier over time.

___38___ Loving Kindness Meditation (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaintances (people you don’t know very well) and finally to challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness.

Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. ___39___

So how? To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” ___40___ Replace the “I” with the name of a teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings.

Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM — but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them. 

A. The good news is that it isn’t lost.

B. Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance.

C. At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create.

D. Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness.

E. For that reason, we could all benefit from love’s warm and comforting blessing.

F. You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself.

G. Outside we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on the subway.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Here you go. Up, up and away,” Chrissy yelled, as she pushed her little brother, Russell, on the swing(秋千). Russell smiled and kicked his feet. “Higher! Higher!” he shouted. “Okay, hang on. Here you go!” Chrissy stood forward and gave the swing an extra hard push. “Help!” Suddenly,Russell screamed.

The swing flew so high that it seemed that it might go flying off into the sky. Russell started to cry just as their mom came running over. “I’m sorry, Russell,” Chrissy said. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I guess I pushed a little too hard.” Their mom was angry with Chrissy and shouted, “Was it a little too hard? That was way too hard, Chrissy! How could you be so irresponsible?” Hearing the word “irresponsible”, Chrissy cried with tears filling her brown eyes.

A week before, her teacher had told her that she was irresponsible for being late for class. Anda few days before her dad had used the word “irresponsible” when he blamed her for not hanging up her clothes. “I’m sorry, Mom,” Chrissy said sadly. She turned away and started to walk slowly down the path that wound through the park. That unpleasant word “irresponsible” kept going through Chrissy’s head.

Suddenly, Chrissy saw a little girl walking across the grass, heading up a small hill. Chrissy looked around for the parent, but there was no one else in sight. Chrissy knew there was a running stream on the other side of that hill. “It’s dangerous,” Chrissy thought. She ran as fast as she could towards the little girl. When she reached the girl, she stepped in front her, stopping her from running towards the water.

Chrissy picked up the little girl and carried her towards the playground, looking anxiously for her mother. “Where’s your mommy?” she asked the little girl, although she thought the girl was probably too young to talk. She was surprised when the little girl pointed to a distant house on the other side of the fence.
