to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情).“We didnthave any classes for like over amonth and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties.So I started to have a lot more free time,”hetells Yahoo Life.“It was really saddening,but it was also something that really surprised me,that our health careworkers are facing something like that,”Nigam says.“So I wanted to see what I could do to help them becauseobviously,theyre sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us.”In late March,the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these healthcare workers receive much-needed meals.He also began doing research about what hospitals had the mostamount of coronavirus cases,so he could prioritize those places first.He was also arranging for the orders to befulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders.So far,Nigam has delivered over 1,000meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states,including New York,Massachusetts and Maryland.Nigams efforts have not only helped health care workers,but restaurants as well.With quarantinerestrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry,places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland,Calif.,have lost

recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.Mariel started a regular silent reading party inDundeejust under a year ago.Readers bring their books andmeet in a bar,where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away tochat and have a drink.“When the reading party starts,everything goes quiet,”says Mariel,“Its a little bit surreal(超现实的),especially in what is usually a noisy bar.However,there is something special about sharing the silencewith others.It offers a chance to escape from reality;everyone is so busy with work and with technology beingever present.An event like thisgives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”Honi Ryan is an artist based inBerlinwho began hosting silent dinner back in 2006.The rules of the dinner are:no talking,no using your voice,no reading or writing,trying to make as little noise as possible,not connectingwith technology,and staying for at least two hours.So far she has taken her

always interesting psychologists.It is generally acknowledged in the field thatdreams people have during this time betweenchildhood and full adulthood,thats around 30,are the strongestand most influential.Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming.Researchers are stilltrying to answer a basic question:How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmentalchallenges?G.William Domhoff and Adam Schneider,at theUniversityofCalifornia,help to answer this question byexamining the lengthy dream series of two individuals,“Izzy”and“Jasmine”.Izzy provided a collection of 4,329dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25,while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between theages of 14 and 25.Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers.Until recently,the means of studyingdream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories,and then compare their results.Nowadays,digital technologies enable theanalysis of language usage in dreams with high speed,accuracy,and objectivity.This marks a revolutionaryadvance in the science of dreaming.However,itcan only lead so far.To gain more specific and detailed insights,Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for eachdreamer,mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets.For Izzy theseword strings included“family and s”,“celebrities”and“fantasy”,while the word strings they created for Jasmineincluded“familiar places,”electrical equipment”and“music”.The researchers used these word strings to identifyconnections between their dreams and real lives.Surprisingly,the results of the analysis revealed a great deal ofconsistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams.Izzy pays much attention to pop culture,and hasaffection for famous actors.Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamers personal concern with thatelement in waking thought,”Domhoff and Schneider conclude.For anyone who still claims dreaming is merelyrandom nonsense from the brain and mental world,these findings are hard to explain away.12.What do psychologists agree with about dreams?A.Dreams are influenced by life experiences.B.Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.C.Dreams in ones teens and twenties are strongest.D The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.13.What does“it”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The collection of dreams.B.Research into dreaming.C.The digital method.D.The challenge for psychologists.14.How do the researchers conduct their study?A.By analyzing large data sets.B.By developing individualized word strings.C.By identifying the patterns of dreaming.D.By making comparison with traditional research.15.Which can be the best title for the text?A.New tech,new findingB.Dreams:reflections of waking realityC.Lives,languages,dreamsD.Life experiences:elements of mental world第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）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For Christians around the
