At just seven years old, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.
In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.
When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says.
The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.
When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.
Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
“There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.”
4. What is Angelina’s pursuit?
A. To design games for kids.
B. To stimulate teen’s curiosity.
C. To address problems through technology.
D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.
5. What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?
A. She couldn’t breathe regularly. B. She was inspired by celebrities.
C. She replaced CPR with an app. D. She was humble about her success.
6. What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?
A. To direct pilots’ career paths.
B. To help to-be pilots find funds.
C To pair future pilots with airlines.
D. To evaluate pilot training schools.
7. What might be the best title?
A. Breaking the code B. Bearing growing pains
C. Facing life as it is D. Following role models
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Angelina Tsuboi如何通过技术创新解决现实问题,她的应用程序帮助了许多人,并展现了她对未来技术领域的探索和乐观的生活态度。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.(如今,这位18岁的12年级学生最初的好奇心已经演变成一种根深蒂固的愿望,即利用技术来破解现实世界的问题。)”可知,Angelina的志向是利用技术来解码现实世界的问题。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.(在获得奖项后,Angelina向苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克展示了她的作品,这是她年轻职业生涯中的一个亮点,但她并没有因此而失去冷静。她说:“没有必要把人放在神坛上。”)”可知,即使在获得苹果公司Swift挑战赛奖项并有机会向苹果CEO蒂姆·库克展示自己的工作后,Angelina也没有失去冷静,她认为没有必要把人放在神坛上,这表明她对自己的成功保持谦逊。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.(当Angelina在16岁时决定接受飞行员培训时,她被找到经济支持的困难所震惊,这促使她创建了另一个应用程序“飞行员快速通道”,帮助那些渴望成为飞行员的人获得飞行培训的奖学金。)”可知,Angelina在16岁决定接受飞行员培训时,发现很难找到财务支持,这促使她创建了Pilot Fast Track应用程序,帮助那些渴望成为飞行员的人找到飞行培训的奖学金。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要讲述了Angelina Tsuboi通过解码技术解决现实世界问题的故事。她利用解码技术开发了多个应用程序,这些应用程序分别帮助解决课后问题、心脏复苏指导、非英语母语单亲家庭的资源获取和飞行员培训资金寻找等问题。A选项“Breaking the code(解码技术)”概括文章主要内容,符合文章标题。故选A。
C
You constantly find yourself apologizing to a friend when you’ve done nothing wrong. You feel you must obey someone’s demands, fearing that he/ she will reveal a secret or weakness. Or perhaps a relative is trying to make you feel obliged to do something by saying, “That’s what friends or family do for each other.” They arouse feelings of guilt in you for not meeting their needs.
If you have had experiences with any of these cases, then you are the victim of emotional blackmail (勒索). This style of handle controls you through your emotions. Fear, obligation and guilt — FOG — are used by an emotional blackmailer to get what they want from people.
Anyone — a friend, colleague, parent, partner or other family members — could be that person. Their demands are intended to control their victim’s behavior in unhealthy methods.
Dr. Susan Forward identifies six stages in emotional blackmail. Implied or obvious demands come first. “I don’t think you should do things with that person. They’re not good for you.” After this kind of statement is stage two: Resistance. The victim often avoids the blackmailer or suggests alternatives instead of saying no. Stage three is persistent pressure by the blackmailer: “If we were really friends, you’d do it.” Stage four involves threats: “If you don’t do this… then I will…” The victim doesn’t want the blackmailer to make good on their threats, so obedience (顺从), which is stage five, often leaves the victim feeling guilty or resentful. In stage six the blackmailer backs off until the next demand.
What can you do? First, recognize if you are being pressured, threatened or controlled. Stay calm, so you can consider other possibilities. Identify your triggers; don’t be pressured into an immediate response. Offer a compromise. Tell the blackmailer how you feel, and give them a chance to acknowledge their behavior and change. If they won’t, walk away from the relationship. Under no circumstances should you let your fears be used against you.
8. What is called emotional blackmail?
A. Having experiences of fear, obligation and guilt.
B. Reaching goals through emotional controls over others.
C. Enriching one’s emotions like fear, obligation and guilt.
D. Getting whatever one wants without any emotional changes.
9. Which of the following can be the second stage of blackmail?
A. The victim felt scared to be threatened and asked others for help.
B. The victim announced, “I would not do as you ordered any more!”
C. The victim said, “How about treating you to a big meal instead?”
D. The victim decided to have a face- to- face talk with the blackmailer.
10. What does the underlined word “resentful” in the last paragraph but one mean?
A. Angry. B. Frightened. C. Indifferent. D. Amazed.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The risks of emotionally blackmailing others.
B. The steps of avoiding being emotionally blackmailed.
C. The suggestions on punishing an emotional blackmailer.
D. The ways to prevent oneself emotionally blackmailing others.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了情感勒索及其过程,最后提出面对情感勒索应该怎么做。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“If you have had experiences with any of these cases, then you are the victim of emotional blackmail (勒索). This style of handle controls you through your emotions. Fear, obligation and guilt — FOG — are used by an emotional blackmailer to get what they want from people.(如果你有过这些经历,那么你就是情感勒索的受害者。这种风格的手柄通过你的情绪来控制你。恐惧、义务和内疚——FOG——被情感勒索者用来从人们那里得到他们想要的东西)”可知,情感勒索是指通过对他人的情感控制来达到目标。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“After this kind of statement is stage two: Resistance. The victim often avoids the blackmailer or suggests alternatives instead of saying no.(在这种陈述之后是第二阶段:抵抗。受害者通常会避开勒索者,或者提出其他建议,而不是拒绝)”可知,在第二阶段,受害者可能会用其它建议来回应勒索者的要求。所以C选项“受害者说:‘不如请你吃顿大餐吧。’”可能是勒索的第二阶段。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The victim doesn’t want the blackmailer to make good on their threats, so obedience (顺从), which is stage five, often leaves the victim feeling guilty or(受害者不希望勒索者兑现他们的威胁,所以服从,这是第五阶段,通常会让受害者感到内疚或……)”可知,受害者不希望勒索者兑现他们的威胁,所以选择服从。结合常识可知,屈服于别人的威胁会让人感觉愧疚或者愤慨,故划线词与Angry同义。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“What can you do? First, recognize if you are being pressured, threatened or controlled. Stay calm, so you can consider other possibilities. Identify your triggers; don’t be pressured into an immediate response. Offer a compromise. Tell the blackmailer how you feel, and give them a chance to acknowledge their behavior and change. If they won’t, walk away from the relationship. Under no circumstances should you let your fears be used against you.(你能做什么?首先,认清自己是否受到了压力、威胁或控制。保持冷静,这样你才能考虑其他的可能性。确定你的触发因素;不要迫于压力而立即做出回应。做出妥协。告诉勒索者你的感受,给他们一个机会承认自己的行为并做出改变。如果他们不愿意,那就离开这段关系。在任何情况下,你都不应该让你的恐惧被用来对付你)”可知,最后一段主要讲避免被情感勒索的步骤。故选B。
D
“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death.
Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonize other planets. That way, if an asteroid, a terrible disease, nuclear war, or some other disaster strikes Earth, civilization as we know it would still have a chance. Mars is one of the most tempting destinations. NASA, the United Arab Emirates, the private company SpaceX, and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there. “Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we risk going extinct, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.
But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan. The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars. One of the biggest dangers there is deadly radiation that bombards the planet.
Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth like dealing with poverty or climate change. Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.
In addition, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there. Mars seems uninhabited, but it could possibly host microbial life. Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment. Some feel that’s too much of a risk to take.
What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?
12. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Many experts insist that humans should take the risk.
B. Mars is the most attractive destinations for human beings.
C. Hawking firmly believes the only way to save humans is moving to Mars.
D. All the other experts don’t agree with Hawking’s idea.
13. Why do some experts disagree with the plan to colonize Mars?
A. It will cost much more money to settle on Mars than on Earth.
B. It is too long a distance from the Earth to the Mars.
C. Human visitors will bring diseases to Martian environment.
D. The deadly radiation that bombards the planet is the biggest danger.
14. What’s the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To raise people’s awareness of protecting the environment.
B. To present different opinions on whether to move to the Mars.
C. To arouse readers’ reflection on whether to colonize outer space.
D. To inspire people to deal with the environmental problems.
15. In which section of a magazine is the passage most likely from?
A. Fiction. B. Current affairs. C. Social Studies. D. Science.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了有些专家认为为了人类和人类文明的延续,人类应该离开地球,移民去其他星球,尤其是去火星。而一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险,甚至还会破坏火星的生态。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan.(但并不是所有人都同意殖民火星或其他星球是一个伟大的计划)”可推知,不是所有的专家都同意霍金的想法。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live.(最常见的反对理由是它太昂贵或太危险了。光是把人们送到那里就需要大量的资金和其他资源,更不用说为他们建立一个居住的地方了)”可知,一些专家不同意殖民火星的计划因为在火星上定居要比在地球上花费更多的钱。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death.(“我们正在耗尽空间,唯一可以去的地方是其他世界…… 扩散可能是唯一能拯救我们的办法。我坚信人类必须离开地球。”2017年,著名科学家史蒂芬·霍金去世前一年,在挪威的一个科学节上说了这句话)”以及最后一段“What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?(你觉得呢?人类应该殖民外太空还是待在地球?)”结合文章主要介绍了有些专家认为为了人类和人类文明的延续,人类应该离开地球,移民去其他星球,尤其是去火星。而一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险,甚至还会破会火星的生态。可推知,这篇文章的写作目的是引起读者对是否要殖民外太空的思考。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章主要介绍了有些专家认为为了人类和人类文明的延续,人类应该离开地球,移民去其他星球,尤其是去火星。而一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险,甚至还会破会火星的生态。可推知,这篇文章最有可能出自杂志的“科学”部分。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是胡同文化及其意义和胡同所面临的挑战。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:这些传统社区的历史可以追溯到元代,以其独特的建筑风格和社区生活而闻名。此处为非谓语动词作状语,date back to与逻辑主语these traditional neighborhoods之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词短语作状语。故填Dating。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些传统社区的历史可以追溯到元代,以其独特的建筑风格和社区生活而闻名。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词style,distinction的形容词为distinctive意为“独特的”符合句意。故填distinctive。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:走在胡同里,你可以看到古老的四合院,从中可以一瞥居民的日常生活。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定从句,从句中缺少主语,所以此处使用关系代词,先行词courtyard houses指的是物,所以使用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这创造了一种强烈的社区意识,因为邻居们经常聚在一起聊天和分享故事。此处为固定短语a sense of意为“一种……感”符合句意,且空后strong的首个音素为辅音音素,所以此处使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:胡同的文化意义不仅仅局限于建筑:它们也是传统得以保存的地方。此处为谓语动词,根据句意以及下文的谓语动词are可知,此处为一般现在时,主语The cultural significance为第三人称单数,且与主语之间为主动关系,所以谓语动词应为extends。故填extends。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:许多已被拆除,为现代建筑让路,威胁到这一文化遗产的保护。此处为名词作宾语,preserve的名词为preservation意为“保护”,且为不可数名词。故填preservation。
【42题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:最近,人们努力保护这些历史区域,因为它们对了解北京的历史和文化至关重要。此处为谓语动词,根据句意以及时间状语recently可知,此处为现在完成时,efforts与make之间为被动关系,所以此处为现在完成时的被动语态,且主语为名词复数,所以谓语动词应为have been made。故填have been made。
43题详解】
考查介词。句意:总之,胡同文化为了解北京的过去和现在提供了一个迷人的视角。此处为固定短语insight into sth.,意为“深入了解……”,符合句意。故填into。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:我们必须珍惜这些独特的社区,因为它们代表了一种富有历史和社区精神的生活方式。此空所在的句子为“it作形式主语,不定式短语作真正主语”结构,所以此处使用动词不定式形式作主语。故填to cherish。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:通过这样做,我们确保后代能够欣赏到胡同文化的美丽和意义。此处为名词作主语,generation为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用名词复数形式表示泛指意义。故填generations。

【答案】Dear Sherlock,
As the chairman of Student Union, I am, with heartfelt sincerity, writing to invite you to deliver a speech concerning daily exercise.
The speech is scheduled at 5:00 p. m. this Friday in the stadium. The reason why we choose this theme is, initially, students’ insufficient awareness of exercise in daily life. Burdened with loads of schoolwork, seldom do students spare time for doing exercise. Additionally, taking into account the national appealing to cultivate all-round students, practicing exercise enables us to be qualified graduates.
Your accepting the invitation would be highly appreciated, and you, a sport enthusiast, can undoubtedly juice the speech up and make it reach a wider audience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. She found herself approaching math problems with a newfound curiosity instead of anxiety. The once confusing numbers and symbols began to become patterns she could understand. Mr. Jenkins continued to teach her in his unique way. Emily started to enjoy the challenge, and her once hesitant hand now moved steadily across the paper. The joy she felt when a solution clicked into place was something she had never expected to experience with math.
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. She sat in the classroom, her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade – a solid A. Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes. She looked up at Mr. Jenkins, who stood at the back of the classroom, watching her with a proud smile. In that moment, Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of math but also discovered the power of perseverance.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Emily Harper擅长艺术,但数学一直是她的弱项。尽管努力,她的成绩仍然不理想。她的父母找来退休教师Mr. Jenkins帮助她。通过独特的教学方式,Mr. Jenkins将数学与艺术联系起来,逐渐帮助Emily克服了恐惧,最终取得了好成绩,证明了坚持的力量。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在Mr. Jenkins的帮助下,Emily的自信心逐渐增强。”可知,第一段可描写Emily的转变的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“出成绩那天,Emily的心怦怦直跳”可知,第二段可描写Emily得知自己成绩的喜悦和出乎意料,明白了坚持的意义。

At just seven years old, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.
In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.
When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says.
The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.
When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.
Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
“There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.”
4. What is Angelina’s pursuit?
A. To design games for kids.
B. To stimulate teen’s curiosity.
C. To address problems through technology.
D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.
5. What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?
A. She couldn’t breathe regularly. B. She was inspired by celebrities.
C. She replaced CPR with an app. D. She was humble about her success.
6. What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?
A. To direct pilots’ career paths.
B. To help to-be pilots find funds.
C. To pair future pilots with airlines.
D. To evaluate pilot training schools.
7. What might be the best title?
A. Breaking the code B. Bearing growing pains
C. Facing life as it is D. Following role models
C
You constantly find yourself apologizing to a friend when you’ve done nothing wrong. You feel you must obey someone’s demands, fearing that he/ she will reveal a secret or weakness. Or perhaps a relative is trying to make you feel obliged to do something by saying, “That’s what friends or family do for each other.” They arouse feelings of guilt in you for not meeting their needs.
If you have had experiences with any of these cases, then you are the victim of emotional blackmail (勒索). This style of handle controls you through your emotions. Fear, obligation and guilt — FOG — are used by an emotional blackmailer to get what they want from people.
Anyone — a friend, colleague, parent, partner or other family members — could be that person. Their demands are intended to control their victim’s behavior in unhealthy methods.
Dr. Susan Forward identifies six stages in emotional blackmail. Implied or obvious demands come first. “I don’t think you should do things with that person. They’re not good for you.” After this kind of statement is stage two: Resistance. The victim often avoids the blackmailer or suggests alternatives instead of saying no. Stage three is persistent pressure by the blackmailer: “If we were really friends, you’d do it.” Stage four involves threats: “If you don’t do this… then I will…” The victim doesn’t want the blackmailer to make good on their threats, so obedience (顺从), which is stage five, often leaves the victim feeling guilty or resentful. In stage six the blackmailer backs off until the next demand.
What can you do? First, recognize if you are being pressured, threatened or controlled. Stay calm, so you can consider other possibilities. Identify your triggers; don’t be pressured into an immediate response. Offer a compromise. Tell the blackmailer how you feel, and give them a chance to acknowledge their behavior and change. If they won’t, walk away from the relationship. Under no circumstances should you let your fears be used against you.
8. What is called emotional blackmail?
A. Having experiences of fear, obligation and guilt.
B. Reaching goals through emotional controls over others.
C. Enriching one’s emotions like fear, obligation and guilt.
D. Getting whatever one wants without any emotional changes.
9. Which of the following can be the second stage of blackmail?
A. The victim felt scared to be threatened and asked others for help.
B. The victim announced, “I would not do as you ordered any more!”
C. The victim said, “How about treating you to a big meal instead?”
D. The victim decided to have a face- to- face talk with the blackmailer.
10. What does the underlined word “resentful” in the last paragraph but one mean?
A. Angry. B. Frightened. C. Indifferent. D. Amazed.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The risks of emotionally blackmailing others.
B. The steps of avoiding being emotionally blackmailed.
C. The suggestions on punishing an emotional blackmailer.
D. The ways to prevent oneself emotionally blackmailing others.
D
“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death.
Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonize other planets. That way, if an asteroid, a terrible disease, nuclear war, or some other disaster strikes Earth, civilization as we know it would still have a chance. Mars is one of the most tempting destinations. NASA, the United Arab Emirates, the private company SpaceX, and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there. “Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we risk going extinct, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.
But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan. The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars. One of the biggest dangers there is deadly radiation that bombards the planet.
Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth, like dealing with poverty or climate change. Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.
In addition, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there. Mars seems uninhabited, but it could possibly host microbial life. Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment. Some feel that’s too much of a risk to take.
What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?

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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived.
