I am an anxious traveller. I arrive at airports and train stations extra early. I double-check all of my documents, feeling a tightness in my jaw and a slight clench in my stomach until I’ve arrived where I’m going. I used to feel bad about it, seeing it as absurd and weak. However, I’ve learned to respect my tendency to be cautious.
Recently, I was driving along a rural road at the start of a long trip that would mainly be on a large motorway. I began feeling that something could go wrong. What if I run out of petrol I worried, even though I still had plenty. So when I spied a petrol station just before the road I was going to take onto the motorway, I decided to fill up. Just in case. And that’s when I discovered that one of my front tyres was flat. If I’d overpowered my unease, talked down my anxiety, the tyre would have blown at speed on the motorway. My urge to plan ahead even though it wasn’t strictly necessary saved me from a potentially catastrophic scenario.
A growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists agree anxiety and other negative feelings have a role to play in our lives. Tracy Dennis Tiwary, who recently published Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You, thinks our culture goes overboard in demonising (妖魔化) difficult emotions. She knows what it’s like to get overwhelmed by anxiety. “I remember a period at work when there was a lot going on. Worries kept waking me up at 4 am. It was like a yucky cloud of free-floating anxiety,” she says.
Instead of trying to repress this uneasy feeling, however, Dennis Tiwary leaned into it. She recognized the niggling thing, gave it space and learned from it. Finally she wrote down two or three things she could do to address it. The next morning, she felt calmer.
24. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1
A. He carries the wrong documents carelessly.
B. He is anxious about missing his flights or trains.
C. He feels ashamed about his tendency to be too careful now.
D. He enjoys spending extra time at airports and train stations.
25. What did the author find when he decided to fill up
A. The gas was used up. B. His unease disappeared.
C. He was caught in a crash. D. Something was wrong with his car.
26. What is Dennis Tiwary’s opinion about difficult emotions
A. They should be ignored. B. They are crucial to success.
C. They can be beneficial to our lives. D. They are disturbing and evil.
27. How did Dennis Tiwary deal with her anxiety
A. She sought professional help and solved her anxiety.
B. She rejected being anxious and focused on her work.
C. She embraced her anxiety and tried her best to face it.
D. She was immersed in pain and resigned to calm down.
C
Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we’re invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga and exercise. Another much-overlooked one that restores sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than dismissing hardships, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments—have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance.
Science agrees. The Arts & Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University offers convincing evidence that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of abused adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem “The Guest House” invites us to view life’s experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion, the author Jalal al-Din Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.
Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing. Poetry names the disconnects as well, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, packs a wallop. Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are re-framed and can be given a new understanding by a poem. That’s because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly focus on
A. The much-ignored healing power of poetry. B. The inability to overcome difficulties in life.
C. The pressure reduced by yoga and exercise. D. The urgent situation of people’s mental state.
29. What is the function of poetry according to paragraph 2
A. Poetry dismisses hardships.
B. Poetry promotes peopled intelligence.
C. Poetry overlooks sufferings of the world.
D. Poetry enables us to connect emotionally with others.
30. What does Rumi suggest readers do in The Guest House
A. Embrace downsides with optimistic attitudes. B. Take the initiative to experience hardships.
C. Take youth into consideration seriously. D. View ourselves as temporary guests.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Poems force readers to feel sweet or bitter.
B. Poems turn a blind eye to threats and sorrows.
C. Poems possess overwhelming power despite limited lines.
D. Poems reshape painful experiences and restrict our minds.
D
Seaweed farming, which has a long history in Asia, is spreading around the globe. Over the past 30 years, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, world production of seaweed has boomed more than six times to over 35 million tonnes, with emerging markets in the Americas, Europe and Africa. The most recent numbers, from 2019, show that North America produces some 23,000 tonnes of wet seaweed per year.
Cascadia, which was founded in 2019, claims to be the largest cultivator in North America, with a harvest of 200 wet tonnes so far this year. Farms, small and large, are popping up fast. Many see this expansion as a good news story. The Global Seaweed Coalition (GSC)—a research and industry group—says humanity could, and should, be harvesting 15 times more seaweed by 2050. Coalition member Vincent Doumeizel is a senior adviser on oceans to a United Nations program working toward corporate sustainability. He talks about a “seaweed revolution” to feed the growing global population—a transformation as dramatic as the ancient shift to land-based agriculture. “In the ocean, we are still hunter-gatherers,” he says.
The Global Seaweed Coalition estimates that seaweed (high in protein and other nutrients) could add 10 percent to the world’s food supply using just 0.03 percent of the ocean surface. One recent study concluded that substituting 10 percent of human food with seaweed by 2050 could spare 110 million hectares of land for purposes other than agriculture. That’s about two percent of all farmland today.
Advocates like Doumeizel cast seaweed as the solution to many social and environmental problems: The industry requires no fresh water, pesticides or fertilizers; it doesn’t take up any land; it can overlap (重叠) with other uses of the ocean like offshore wind farms; it can help to decrease poverty in the developing world; and some companies, including Cascadia, are collaborating with local communities.
Seaweed creates a rich habitat for sea life, soaks up carbon dioxide, counter-acts acid and absorbs run-off nutrients, although evidence quantifying how farms, specifically, help with such things remains scarce.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. New seaweed farming markets increase in Africa.
B. Seaweed fanning in Europe is earlier than in Asia.
C. Seaweed production is over 35 million in North America annually.
D. Seaweed production of Asia was about 6 million tonnes 30 years ago.
33. According to the GSC, what is the potential of seaweed as a food source
A. Saving two percent of agricultural land for other applications.
B. Adding 15 percent to the world’s food supply by 2050.
C. Bringing more nutritious food and greater profits to GSC.
D. Providing human beings with more high-fat food.
34. What is an advantage of seaweed farming mentioned in the text
A. It helps increase the diversity of sea plants.
B. It solves the pollution problems of the ocean.
C. It prevents ocean plant species from dying out.
D. It can be combined with other uses of the ocean.
35. What does the underlined word “scarce” mean in the last paragraph
A. Obvious. B. Insufficient. C. Ambiguous. D. Invalid.

根据短文内容.,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。
Freudenfreude closely resembles positive empathy (共情)—the ability to experience someone else’s positive —emotions. 36 It can also help people co-operate during a conflict and improve life satisfaction. If you’re interested in enjoying more freudenfreude, try the tips below.
Show active interest in someone else’s happiness.
One way to send good feelings for others is to ask questions. This practice is called shoy, or sharing joy. To start, invite the bearer of good news to discuss the experience. When listening, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively, which can motivate you to keep going. 37
View individual success as a communal effort.
“No one gets to the top alone, and when we elevate others, we’re often earned up with them,” Anhalt says. Jean Grae, an artist and self-identified “multipotentialist” supports friends and colleagues by adopting this mindset. When someone gels a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. 38 “It’s truly inspirational,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.”
39
Because emotions are infectious, showing appreciation can increase freudenfreude for the gratitude giver and the receiver. In this way, you can think of freudenfreude as something you can spread when you're experiencing personal joy.
Turn into a joy spectator.
“Too often, we think of joy passively, Franco says.” We see it as something that comes to us, instead of something we can generate.” But you don’t need to wail for someone else’s good news to exercise freudenfreude. 40 You might ask: “What was the bright spot of your day ” or “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week ”. Asking about other people’s wins turns you into a joy spectator, giving you a chance to witness them at their best.
A. Become a popular organizer.
B. Show credit for your successes with others.
C. Empathy isn’t always an automatic reaction.
D. It motivates kind acts, such as helping others.
E. It even makes you feel as if your efforts will pay off.
F. Cultivate joy by inviting others to share their victories.
G. She says she’s especially moved when anyone considered “other” succeeds.

I was invited to give a speech as a graduate representative at the graduating ceremony. Standing on the stage, overwhelmed by the thunderous applause, I couldn’t help but reflect on my life journey. I own great thanks for success to my beloved teacher and every person who had shown me kindness.
I grew up in a financially disadvantaged family with five children. The burden of poverty, compounded by the responsibility of looking after my younger brothers and sisters, made it hard to pursue my studies further. Just when we believed things couldn’t get any worse, my father suddenly fell gravely ill. His illness progressed swiftly, and we were heartbroken when he passed away. With my fathers untimely death, my mother found herself struggling with the enormous task of single-handedly raising a large family. Our situation became even worse, and I couldn’t bear to increase her burdens. It was then that I made the difficult decision to forego my education in order to support my family.
But little did I know that my life was about to take a turn that would change everything. One rainy day, my teacher Mr. Scott decided to brave the storm to find my humble home tucked away in the mountains. His determination to reach me despite the harsh weather painted a vivid image of his commitment and care. As the rain poured relentlessly, my teacher navigated the paths full of twists and turns, determined to understand the true reason behind my decision to drop out of school. Upon reaching my doorstep, he was greeted by a shabby house that reflected the hardships my family faced daily.
Sitting in my modest living room, Mr. Scott patiently listened to the challenges that burdened my family and me. The weight had become too much for me to bear, making the pursuit of education seem like an unattainable dream. Deeply touched by my story, Mr. Scott’s eyes brimmed with empathy and understanding. He recognized the potential that lay within me and refused to let my circumstances define my future.
