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.

4. 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

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

A. Past memory. B. Changeable belief.

C. Optimistic attitude. D. Important nature.

6. 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.

7. 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. ”

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.”

12. The underlined word “oasis” in Paragraph 1 refers 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

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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

第二节七选五：（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

It’s certain that we’re all getting older. And while the older among us may be no spring chickens any more, growing old gracefully is no bad thing.____16____However, as the world population ages, will there be enough people to replace our younger selves?

A situation where there are more old people than young certainly has an effect on the world. A report by the Pew Research Center says that globally the number of people over 65 years old will triple by 2050, drastically altering some countries’ demographic (人口的) make-up.____17____Governments will struggle to provide satisfactory pensions, which are ultimately funded by taxes paid by the working population. And long-term, a smaller population of economically-active people may be a problem for companies trying to recruit staff.

____18____The Pew Research Center survey found that 87% of Japanese people were most concerned about it while only 26% of people from the USA were. Some countries thought the elderly should take care of themselves, while others thought it was the responsibility of the family.____19____

But old age shouldn’t just be seen negatively. Elderly people have knowledge and experience to pass on. Some have wealth which they can spend, helping the economy. And some do voluntary or charity work.____20____And these include increasing the retirement age, encouraging people to save for the future, or even convincing people to have more children.

A. And with age comes wisdom.

B. Of course, solutions are needed to tackle the issue.

C The aging population can be potential new customers

D. Many thought the government should be responsible.

E. Attitudes to an aging population vary around the world.

F. It also predicts that the world population will decline in the next century.

G. This aging population means an increased demand for health and social care.

47. 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。

One Saturday afternoon, I was watching TV in the living room with my grandpa when a blinding flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening sound, and the pictures on TV disappeared with that sound. Before I realized what had happened, a gray-white shadow rushed in through the open window and flew over my head. Bang! It hit the wall and slid off to the floor. Shaking with fear, I approached it cautiously and saw that it was a pigeon. It looked at me in fear, trying to open its wings and struggling its feet, but apparently powerless.

So I called my grandpa and immediately set out to give it a helping hand. Taking it in my hands I felt a few drops of warmth on my hands. It was blood! I gently spread its wings and there were a few red feathers inside. “Don’t worry. We’ll get it out alive,” Grandpa said to me. Then he got the first-aid kit. With some cotton, we dried the blood, cleaned the wound and then put it under a hairdryer to dry. All went smoothly, for the pigeon had no strength left to resist. There happened to be an empty birdcage at home, so I put it in gently and added a little water and some grains.

For the next few days, the moment I got home from school, I would run to feed the pigeon. And Grandpa helped a lot, tidying up the cage daily. Little by little, its strength returned. One evening, I fed it with the biscuit I was eating. It enjoyed it! One week later, its wound almost healed (痊愈); its feathers grew and it became brave. Whenever I sat at the table eating biscuits, it looked up at me, cooing (咕咕地叫) constantly. To my joy, I could also reach into the cage to touch it. When I gently fingered its head, it playfully pecked (啄) at me. Finally it completely recovered. But every time I was with it, it seemed restless in the cage. To make it happy and pretty, I tied an orange string (线)around its leg.

注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

One day, however, when I returned home, Grandpa met me at the door, looking embarrassed.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sure enough, I saw a pigeon flying into the house the next afternoon!
