I was 6 years ld when my father tld me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that pint, I had spent mst f my life n the circus lt, playing with the ther circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is ne that has a lse structure. S the early years after my leaving the circus t sit in a classrm all day felt mre like a prisn.
But years later, I fund areas that interested me. I tk the skills I had learned frm being nstage and applied them t bradcasting. And s when Bstn’s news statin WBUR ffered me a jb ut f cllege, I jumped at the chance. Alng the way, I fund I really enjyed the wrk. I became WBUR’s news reprter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me d my jb naturally and easily in a stressful situatin — whether it was a destructive trnad utside Bstn, r the Bstn Marathn bmbings f 2013.
But then a serius infectius disease appeared. Suddenly, fr the first time in my adult life, I went fr a year withut ding any shws. But it became clear t me that perfrming was what I truly wanted. Fr me, the circus symblizes wh I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the mst free. Sme peple get nervus befre they g nstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character f Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid mustache n my face, all my scial anxiety disappears.
Circus perfrmances g beynd age, sciecnmic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type f perfrmance where yu can g anywhere in the wrld t entertain anyne — help anyne frget their trubles fr 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And mst imprtantly, fr me, it means cming hme.

A grwing number f psychlgists are getting ut the message that anxiety has a psitive rle t play in ur lives. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, wh recently published Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Gd fr Yu (Even Thugh It Feels Bad), thinks ur culture ges t far in demnizing (妖魔化) the difficult emtin.
Psychlgist Tdd Kashdan, directr f the Well-Being Lab at Gerge Masn University in Virginia, is a critic f what he calls happylgy. We dn’t always have t be smiley and calm, r wrry there’s smething wrng with us. Smetimes, he says, wrry itself is what is right. Fear f heights? Gd, because yu’re nt ging t be the persn wh falls ff a cliff while taking a selfie.
These experts wnder if the natural rle that anxiety plays in ur lives is smehw being frgtten. Fr example, the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) annunced in March 2022 that the prevalence f anxiety had increased glbally by 25% ver the previus year. The WHO called the finding “a wake-up call t all cuntries t step up mental health services and supprt”. D we knw fr certain that this data represents a public health crisis? Or culd it mean that millins f flks are quite rightly feeling uncertain, stressed ut and afraid?
We can experience healthy, ften cmpletely valid perids f anxiety withut being categrized as mentally ill, accrding t behaviral psychlgists. Anxiety is an adaptive strategy in human evlutin. It helps us t prepare fr the uncertain future. Anxiety helps us slve unknwns by planning and imagining, by pltting ut pssible ways.
Accrding t Alice Byes, wh has a PhD in clinical psychlgy, cping with anxiety by aviding them just reinfrces yur insecurity, because yu’re nt getting better at slving the prblem. “Over time, yu will feel less and less capable,” she warns.
The key is t manage anxiety befre it vertakes us, like tending a garden s the weeds dn’t spread. Hw d yu d that? Slutins include meditatin, exercise, cmpassinate cnnectin such as vlunteering, access t nature and mentally reframing what we’re experiencing.
28. Which statement is Kashdan’s pinin?
A. Fear may prevent yu frm taking dangerus actins.
B. Happylgy is quite ppular amng the yung nwadays.
C. Being smiley can stp us frm wrrying smething wrng.
D. Difficult emtins such as anxiety shuld nt be demnized.
29. What is the authr’s attitude tward WHO’s annuncement?
A. Unclear.B. Disapprving.C. Objective.D. Psitive.
30. What des the underlined wrd “reinfrces” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Resists.B. Increases.C. Adjusts.D. Reveals.
31. What is the best title f the text?
A. The upside f anxiety.B. The key t manage anxiety.
C. The rigin f difficult emtins.D. The right attitude t negative emtins.

Generative A.I., the sftware engine behind ChatGPT, is seen as an exciting new wave f technlgy. But cmpanies in every industry are mainly trying ut the technlgy and thinking thrugh the ecnmics. Widespread use f it at many cmpanies culd be years away.
Generative A.I., accrding t frecasts, culd sharply bst prductivity and add trillins f dllars t the glbal ecnmy. Yet the lessn f histry, frm steam pwer t the Internet, is that there is a lng lag between the arrival f majr new technlgy and its brad adptin — which is what transfrms industries and helps fuel the ecnmy.
The investment craze is ging n right nw. In the first half f 2023, funding fr generative A.I. start-ups reached $15.3 billin, nearly three times the ttal fr last year. Cmpany technlgy managers are sampling generative A.I. sftware frm a hst f suppliers and watching t see hw the industry develps.
In Nvember, when ChatGPT was made available t the public, it was a “Netscape mment” fr generative A.I., said Rb Thmas, IBM’s chief cmmercial fficer, referring t Netscape’s intrductin f the brwser in 1994. “That brught the Internet alive,” Mr. Thmas said. But it was just a beginning, pening a dr t new business pprtunities that it tk years t create.
In a recent reprt, a timeline fr the widespread adptin f generative A.I. applicatin was presented. It assumed steady imprvement in currently knwn technlgy, but nt future break-thrughs. Its frecast fr main-stream adptin was neither shrt nr precise, a range f 8 t 27 years. The brad range is explained by plugging in different assumptins abut ecnmic cycles, gvernment regulatin, cmpany cultures and management decisins. “We’re nt mdeling the laws f physics here; we’re mdeling ecnmics and scieties, and peple and cmpanies,” said Michael Chui, a partner at the McKinsey Glbal Institute. “What happens is largely the result f human chices.”
32. Hw are the cmpanies reacting after the intrductin f generative A.I.?
A. Adpting the new technlgy widely.B. Making a high prfit frm the technlgy.
C. Staying cautius abut the new technlgy.D. Pstpning generative A.I.’s wide adptin.
33. What will transfrm industries?
A. The arrival f majr new technlgy.B. The brad adptin f new technlgy.
C. The lag between the majr technlgies.D. The inventin f steam pwer in histry.
34. What is the purpse f writing paragraph 4?
A. T shw the Internet came alive in the 1990s.
B. T mentin A.I. has brught imprtant benefits.
C. T explain the present situatin is just a beginning.
D. T prve the new business pprtunities are enrmus.
35. What d we learn abut the wide adptin f generative A.I.?
A. It needs steady imprvement instead f break-thrughs.
B. It shuld mdel the laws f physics and ecnmics.
C. It will be widely adpted in ver 3 decades.
D. It is influenced mstly by human factrs.

A grwing number f psychlgists are getting ut the message that anxiety has a psitive rle t play in ur lives. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, wh recently published Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Gd fr Yu (Even Thugh It Feels Bad), thinks ur culture ges t far in demnizing (妖魔化) the difficult emtin.
Psychlgist Tdd Kashdan, directr f the Well-Being Lab at Gerge Masn University in Virginia, is a critic f what he calls happylgy. We dn’t always have t be smiley and calm, r wrry there’s smething wrng with us. Smetimes, he says, wrry itself is what is right. Fear f heights? Gd, because yu’re nt ging t be the persn wh falls ff a cliff while taking a selfie.
These experts wnder if the natural rle that anxiety plays in ur lives is smehw being frgtten. Fr example, the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) annunced in March 2022 that the prevalence f anxiety had increased glbally by 25% ver the previus year. The WHO called the finding “a wake-up call t all cuntries t step up mental health services and supprt”. D we knw fr certain that this data represents a public health crisis? Or culd it mean that millins f flks are quite rightly feeling uncertain, stressed ut and afraid?
We can experience healthy, ften cmpletely valid perids f anxiety withut being categrized as mentally ill, accrding t behaviral psychlgists. Anxiety is an adaptive strategy in human evlutin. It helps us t prepare fr the uncertain future. Anxiety helps us slve unknwns by planning and imagining, by pltting ut pssible ways.
Accrding t Alice Byes, wh has a PhD in clinical psychlgy, cping with anxiety by aviding them just reinfrces yur insecurity, because yu’re nt getting better at slving the prblem. “Over time, yu will feel less and less capable,” she warns.
The key is t manage anxiety befre it vertakes us, like tending a garden s the weeds dn’t spread. Hw d yu d that? Slutins include meditatin, exercise, cmpassinate cnnectin such as vlunteering, access t nature and mentally reframing what we’re experiencing.
28. Which statement is Kashdan’s pinin?
A. Fear may prevent yu frm taking dangerus actins.
B. Happylgy is quite ppular amng the yung nwadays.
C. Being smiley can stp us frm wrrying smething wrng.
D. Difficult emtins such as anxiety shuld nt be demnized.
29. What is the authr’s attitude tward WHO’s annuncement?
A. Unclear.B. Disapprving.C. Objective.D. Psitive.
30. What des the underlined wrd “reinfrces” in paragraph 5 mean?

(弗吉尼亚州乔治梅森大学幸福实验室主任、心理学家托德·卡什丹是他所谓的幸福学的批评者。我们不必总是面带微笑，保持冷静，或者担心自己有什么问题。他说，有时候，担心本身就是对的。恐高？很好，因为你不会是那个自拍时从悬崖上摔下来的人。)”可知，卡什丹的观点是恐惧可能会阻止你采取危险的行动。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Fr example, the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) annunced in March 2022 that the prevalence f anxiety had increased glbally by 25% ver the previus year. The WHO called the finding “a wake-up call t all cuntries t step up mental health services and supprt”. (例如，世界卫生组织(WHO)在2022年3月宣布，全球焦虑症的患病率比前一年增加了25%。世界卫生组织称这一发现“为所有国家加强精神卫生服务和支持敲响了警钟”。)”和第四段“We can experience healthy, ften cmpletely valid perids f anxiety withut being categrized as mentally ill, accrding t behaviral psychlgists. Anxiety is an adaptive strategy in human evlutin. It helps us t prepare fr the uncertain future. Anxiety helps us slve unknwns by planning and imagining, by pltting ut pssible ways. (根据行为心理学家的说法，我们可以经历健康的、通常完全有效的焦虑期，而不会被归类为精神疾病。焦虑是人类进化过程中的一种适应性策略。它帮助我们为不确定的未来做好准备。焦虑帮助我们通过计划和想象，通过规划出可能的方法来解决未知的问题。)”可知，作者对世界卫生组织的声明是不赞成的。故选B。
【30题详解】

Generative A.I. the sftware engine behind ChatGPT, is seen as an exciting new wave f technlgy. But cmpanies in every industry are mainly trying ut the technlgy and thinking thrugh the ecnmics. Widespread use f it at many cmpanies culd be years away.
Generative A.I., accrding t frecasts, culd sharply bst prductivity and add trillins f dllars t the glbal ecnmy. Yet the lessn f histry, frm steam pwer t the Internet, is that there is a lng lag between the arrival f majr new technlgy and its brad adptin — which is what transfrms industries and helps fuel the ecnmy.
The investment craze is ging n right nw. In the first half f 2023, funding fr generative A.I. start-ups reached $15.3 billin, nearly three times the ttal fr last year. Cmpany technlgy managers are sampling generative A.I. sftware frm a hst f suppliers and watching t see hw the industry develps.
In Nvember, when ChatGPT was made available t the public, it was a “Netscape mment” fr generative A.I., said Rb Thmas, IBM’s chief cmmercial fficer, referring t Netscape’s intrductin f the brwser in 1994. “That brught the Internet alive,” Mr. Thmas said. But it was just a beginning, pening a dr t new business pprtunities that it tk years t create.
In a recent reprt, a timeline fr the widespread adptin f generative A.I. applicatin was presented. It assumed steady imprvement in currently knwn technlgy, but nt future break-thrughs. Its frecast fr main-stream adptin was neither shrt nr precise, a range f 8 t 27 years. The brad range is explained by plugging in different assumptins abut ecnmic cycles, gvernment regulatin, cmpany cultures and management decisins. “We’re nt mdeling the laws f physics here; we’re mdeling ecnmics and scieties, and peple and cmpanies,” said Michael Chui, a partner at the McKinsey Glbal Institute. “What happens is largely the result f human chices.”
32. Hw are the cmpanies reacting after the intrductin f generative A.I.?
A. Adpting the new technlgy widely.B. Making a high prfit frm the technlgy.
C. Staying cautius abut the new technlgy.D. Pstpning generative A.I.’s wide adptin.
33. What will transfrm industries?
A. The arrival f majr new technlgy.B. The brad adptin f new technlgy.
C. The lag between the majr technlgies.D. The inventin f steam pwer in histry.
34. What is the purpse f writing paragraph 4?
A. T shw the Internet came alive in the 1990s.
B. T mentin A.I. has brught imprtant benefits.
C. T explain the present situatin is just a beginning.
D. T prve the new business pprtunities are enrmus.
35. What d we learn abut the wide adptin f generative A.I.?
A. It needs steady imprvement instead f break-thrughs.
B. It shuld mdel the laws f physics and ecnmics.
C. It will be widely adpted in ver 3 decades.
D. It is influenced mstly by human factrs.

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Yet the lessn f histry, frm steam pwer t the Internet, is that there is a lng lag between the arrival f majr new technlgy and its brad adptin — which is what transfrms industries and helps fuel the ecnmy.(然而，从蒸汽机到互联网的历史经验告诉我们，重大新技术的出现和广泛应用之间存在着一段漫长的滞后，而广泛应用正是改变工业和推动经济发展的关键)”可知，新技术的广泛采用将改变工业。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In Nvember, when ChatGPT was made available t the public, it was a “Netscape mment” fr generative A.I., said Rb Thmas, IBM’s chief cmmercial fficer, referring t Netscape’s intrductin f the brwser in 1994. “That brught the Internet alive,” Mr. Thmas said. (去年11月，当ChatGPT向公众开放时，IBM首席商务官罗布·托马斯(Rb Thmas)说，这是生成式人工智能的“网景时刻”，他指的是网景在1994年推出的浏览器。“这给互联网带来了生机，”托马斯说)”以及“But it was just a beginning, pening a dr t new business pprtunities that it tk years t create.(但这只是一个开始，打开了一扇通往新商业机会的大门，而这些机会需要数年时间才能创造出来)”可知，第4段的目的是来解释现状只是一个开始。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是旗袍的起源和发展。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：如果你回到20世纪30年代的上海，你会发现大多数中国女性都穿着类似的衣服。travel back t意为“回到……”，因此空格处是介词t，故填t。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：这就是旗袍，它起源于清朝满族妇女穿的长裙。句子描述过去的事情，定语从句谓语动词riginate时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填riginated。
【58题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：这就是旗袍，它起源于清朝满族妇女穿的长裙。Qing Dynasty前要加定冠词the，故填the。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然后，100年前，现代版的旗袍被发明出来，结合了传统的满族服装和西方的剪裁技术。句中谓语是was invented，空格处用非谓语动词，the mdernized versin f Qipa和cmbine之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填cmbining。
【60题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：如今，中国女性不仅在正式场合穿着旗袍，也在日常活动中穿着旗袍。ccasin是可数名词，正式场合不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填ccasins。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：在不同的季节，它可以与风衣、披肩、毛衣等现代服装搭配，展现出不同的风格。空格处用it指代旗袍，故填it。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在不同的季节，它可以与风衣、披肩、毛衣等现代服装搭配，展现出不同的风格。styles是名词，用形容词作定语，vary的形容词是varius，意为“不同的”。故填varius。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在婚礼上，新娘通常穿着红色旗袍迎接客人，旗袍象征着幸福、好运和美好的前景。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词Qipa是物，因此空格处是关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语，时态和主谓一致。句意：中国的旗袍融合了东西方的服装风格，现在为世界所知。be knwn t...意为“为……所知”，由nw可知，时态用一般现在时，主语Qipa是不可数名词，因此空格处是is knwn。故填is knwn。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：几百年来，旗袍不断推出新的设计，向全世界展示了中国创新和包容的精神。空格处用名词作宾语，句子表示“旗袍不断推出新的设计，向全世界展示了中国创新和包容的精神”，空格处意为“创新”，名词是innvatin，是不可数名词，故填innvatin。
