B In a quiet village near Chengdu 26-year-old Lin Zhipeng stands out as the only young resident among elderly neighbors. While most youth migrate to cities, Lin chooses rural life, bonding with seniors who affectionately call him “Dasenzi” (“big grandson” in Sichuan dialect). This nickname also titles his Douyin account, where his videos documenting inter-generational interactions have accumulated over 700,000 followers. When interacting with the seniors in the village, Lin observed that the elderly are eager to connect with younger generations. His grandfather, for instance, who was once serious and quiet, had a breakthrough moment during a video shoot. He accidentally made a joke, and when seeing his grandson laughing heartily in response, it sparked a transformation in him. From then on, he began intentionally telling more jokes. Beyond entertainment, Lin provides practical support for the elderly. He uses earnings from taking on product advertisement projects to purchase daily necessities for them and even organize photo shoots for elderly couples who have never had wedding pictures. Medical assistance is another priority. Seniors often hesitate to seek treatment for minor illnesses and find hospital procedures confusing when they do need care for more serious conditions. Whenever possible, Lin helps them navigate these issues. However, Lin emphasizes that material aid isn’t enough. “They crave companionship — a visit or a call means a lot,” he says. Lin pointed out that while current policies ensure that even the most disadvantaged have enough food and clothing, elderly people living alone also need emotional support. “These elderly residents are getting older every day, and to be frank, they could leave us at any time,” Lin said. “Let’s cherish every moment we have with them while we still can.” Through humor and compassion, “Dasenzi” redefines rural aging — not as isolation, but as a stage for inter-generational bonds. 4 Why might Lin’s grandfather start telling more jokes? A. To gain more attention from his grandson B. To attract more followers on Douyin C. To present Sichuan people’s joyful spirit D. To bond emotionally with his grandson 5. Which behavior is NOT mentioned as part of Lin’s support for the elderly? A. Advocating for government policy changes B. Organizing wedding photography sessions C. Financial assistance through sponsored ads D. Helping cope with healthcare procedures 6. Why does Lin emphasize that material aid isn’t enough for the elderly? A. Because he thinks material assistance doesn’t matter at all. B. Because the elderly long for emotional connection and company. C. Because he lacks sufficient funds to support all their needs. D. Because government policies have already covered basic living costs. 7. What might be the best title for the text? A. Winning Fame: The Rise of a Douyin Star B. Urban Migration: Leaving lonely elderly behind C. Big grandson: Bridging Generations in Rural China D. Medical Gaps: Addressing Elderly Care in Sichuan C Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago. Today, I often wonder: Am I a story that's constantly being written? people have debated this for a long time, with ancient Greeks arguing whether a thing's true essence lies in its unchanging nature or its ongoing development. Plato believed that natural science focuses on the changing physical world, while philosophy, using intelligence and reason, explored the change less eternal (永恒). For instance, veterinary science studies growing dogs, but philosophers question the idea of “Dog” itself. Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being. So, which is your view, and how does that guide the way you live? None of this is to say the choice between Platonism and Aristotelianism is absolute. We all have some unchanging characteristics, and we also change in many ways. The philosophical perspective you adopt will depend on how you principally define yourself and what you choose to pay attention to as you move through the world. Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian? It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today’s culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. This can make you a repeat customer and give you a sense of belonging. But it might also keep you in situations you don't like. Being more like an Aristotelian can set you free. 8. What did the author tell us about our cells in Paragraph 1? A. The unchanging nature of our souls. B The ongoing transformation of our bodies. C. The belief that our science and nature do not change. D. The idea that we are the same person through our lives. 9. According to Aristotle, what is the focus of understanding a dog? A. Its unchanging nature. B. Its determined essence. C. Its stable identity. D. Its continuous development. 10. How does modem culture tend to influence personal identity, according to the text? A. By pushing people to de fin c themselves into fix cd identities. B. By suggesting that personal identity will be a mystery forever. C. By encouraging individuals to accept constant change and growth. D. By promoting that individual identity is deter min cd by belongings. 11. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage? A Plate v. s. Aristotle: the Battle of Ideas. B. The Philosophical Outlook: A Defined Personality. C. Becoming v. s. Being: Viewpoint on Personal Identity. D. The Unchanging Universe: A Philosophical Dilemma. D Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie? A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect. Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants. These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns. “The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.” 12. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage? A. The economic benefits of tax compliance. B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges. C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations. D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud. 13. What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3? A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering. 14. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting? A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.” C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.” 15. Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage? A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties. B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals. C. Promoting honesty pledges in international trade. D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分，满分15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。 Emotional blackmail (胁迫) isn’t something to take lightly.____16____.

Out of the doghouse came the mother dog, who ran down the passage of his shop, followed by five tiny ball of fur. One puppy was moving slowly and fell behind. In no time the little boy picked out the slow puppy and asked, “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The shop owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered that one of his back legs was injured. He would always walk slowly and with difficulty. He would be lame (瘸的). Hearing what the shop owner had said, the little boy became excited, “That is the little puppy I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the shop owner’s eyes and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me.

To bond emotionally with his grandson 5. Which behavior is NOT mentioned as part of Lin’s support for the elderly? A. Advocating for government policy changes B. Organizing wedding photography sessions C. Financial assistance through sponsored ads D. Helping cope with healthcare procedures 6. Why does Lin emphasize that material aid isn’t enough for the elderly? A. Because he thinks material assistance doesn’t matter at all. B. Because the elderly long for emotional connection and company. C. Because he lacks sufficient funds to support all their needs. D. Because government policies have already covered basic living costs. 7 What might be the best title for the text? A. Winning Fame: The Rise of a Douyin Star B. Urban Migration: Leaving lonely elderly behind C. Big grandson: Bridging Generations in Rural China D. Medical Gaps: Addressing Elderly Care in Sichuan 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 26 岁的林智鹏选择留在成都附近的乡村，与老人们相处，被亲切地称为 “大孙子”，他在抖音上记录与老人的代际互动，吸引了众多粉丝。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When interacting with the seniors in the village, Lin observed that the elderly are eager to connect with younger generations. His grandfather, for instance, who was once serious and quiet, had a breakthrough moment during a video shoot. He accidentally made a joke, and when seeing his grandson laughing heartily in response, it sparked a transformation in him. From then on, he began intentionally telling more jokes.(在与村里的老人互动时，林智鹏观察到老年人渴望与年轻一代建立联系。例如，他的爷爷曾经严肃而安静，在一次视频拍摄中迎来了一个突破时刻。他不小心开了个玩笑，当看到孙子开心地大笑作为回应时，这在他身上引发了转变。从那时起，他开始有意地讲更多的笑话)”可知，爷爷开始讲更多笑话是因为看到孙子的积极回应，想与孙子在情感上建立更紧密的联系。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He uses earnings from taking on product advertisement projects to purchase daily necessities for them and even organize photo shoots for elderly couples who have never had wedding pictures. Medical assistance is another priority. Seniors often hesitate to seek treatment for minor illnesses and find hospital procedures confusing when they do need care for more serious conditions. Whenever possible, Lin helps them navigate these issues.(他用承接产品广告项目的收入为他们购买日用品，甚至为从未拍过婚纱照的老年夫妇组织婚纱照拍摄。医疗援助是另一个重点。老年人常常对小病痛犹豫不决，不愿意去治疗，而当他们确实需要治疗更严重的疾病时，又会觉得医院的流程很复杂。只要有可能，林智鹏就会帮助他们解决这些问题。）可知，林智鹏为老人做的事情包括组织婚纱照拍摄、通过广告收入提供经济援助、帮助处理医疗流程。A 选项 “Advocating for government policy changes”（倡导政府政策改变），文中未提及。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, Lin emphasizes that material aid isn’t enough. “They crave companionship — a visit or a call means a lot,” he says. Lin pointed out that while current policies ensure that even the most disadvantaged have enough food and clothing, elderly people living alone also need emotional support.(然而，林智鹏强调物质援助是不够的。“他们渴望陪伴 —— 一次拜访或一个电话意义重大，” 他说。林智鹏指出，虽然当前的政策确保即使是最弱势的群体也有足够的衣食，但独居老人也需要情感支持)”可知，林智鹏强调物质援助不够是因为老人渴望情感联系和陪伴。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了 26 岁的林智鹏选择留在成都附近的乡村，与老人们相处，被亲切地称为 “大孙子”，他在抖音上记录与老人的代际互动，吸引了众多粉丝。他不仅为老人提供物质帮助，如购买日用品、组织婚纱照拍摄、协助医疗等，还强调老人更需要情感陪伴，通过自己的行动重新定义了乡村老龄化，促进了代际之间的联系。所以短文的最佳标题为“大孙子：在中国乡村架起代际桥梁”。故选C。 C Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago. Today, I often wonder: Am I a story that's constantly being written? people have debated this for a long time, with ancient Greeks arguing whether a thing's true essence lies in its unchanging nature or its ongoing development. Plato believed that natural science focuses on the changing physical world, while philosophy, using intelligence and reason, explored the change less eternal (永恒). For instance, veterinary science studies growing dogs, but philosophers question the idea of “Dog” itself. Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being. So, which is your view, and how does that guide the way you live? None of this is to say the choice between Platonism and Aristotelianism is absolute. We all have some unchanging characteristics, and we also change in many ways. The philosophical perspective you adopt will depend on how you principally define yourself and what you choose to pay attention to as you move through the world. Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian? It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today’s culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. This can make you a repeat customer and give you a sense of belonging. But it might also keep you in situations you don't like. Being more like an Aristotelian can set you free. 8. What did the author tell us about our cells in Paragraph 1? A. The unchanging nature of our souls. B. The ongoing transformation of our bodies. C. The belief that our science and nature do not change. D. The idea that we are the same person through our lives. 9. According to Aristotle, what is the focus of understanding a dog? A. Its unchanging nature. B. Its determined essence. C. Its stable identity. D. Its continuous development. 10. How does modem culture tend to influence personal identity, according to the text? A. By pushing people to de fin c themselves into fix cd identities. B. By suggesting that personal identity will be a mystery forever. C. By encouraging individuals to accept constant change and growth. D. By promoting that individual identity is deter min cd by belongings. 11. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Plate v. s. Aristotle: the Battle of Ideas. B. The Philosophical Outlook: A Defined Personality. C. Becoming v. s. Being: Viewpoint on Personal Identity. D. The Unchanging Universe: A Philosophical Dilemma. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨关于个人身份的两种不同观点，即柏拉图主义强调不变的本质和固定身份，亚里士多德主义注重持续变化和发展，并分析了这两种观点对人们理解自我和生活方式的影响，同时指出现代文化对个人身份认知的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago. (在成长过程中，我的哥哥是一个科学爱好者，他和我分享了一些有趣的事实，比如我们的细胞每七年就会更新一次。这个想法强调了我们自我不断变化的概念，这意味着我的身体与几年前的我不同。) ”可知，作者提到细胞每七年完全更新一次，强调了我们自身的不断变化，故推断作者想告诉的是我们身体在持续转变。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being. (亚里士多德同意科学可以解释我们所看到的，但他认为物质世界是不断变化的。他相信改变是事物本质的一部分，你的美德是关于你要变成什么样的人，而不是一个固定的身份。因此，成为是他关注的焦点，而不是某个完美的无形存在。) ”可知，亚里士多德认为物质宇宙处于不断变化中，变化是事物的本质，他关注的是 “成为”（变化）而不是固定的东西。所以理解一只狗的重点是它的持续发展。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian? It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today's culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. (你是柏拉图主义者还是亚里士多德主义者？这取决于你认为自己是一个固定的身份还是一个不断变化的故事。今天的文化常常促使你成为柏拉图主义者，把自己定义为某种类型的人。) ”可知，现代文化常常促使人们成为柏拉图主义者，将自己定义为某种类型的人，也就是把自己定义为固定的身份。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章主要讨论了柏拉图和亚里士多德对于事物本质的不同观点，柏拉图认为哲学探索不变的永恒，而亚里士多德认为变化是事物的本质，然后延伸到个人身份，探讨了我们是具有固定身份（Being）还是一个不断变化的故事（Becoming），所以C选项“成为与存在：关于个人身份的观点”符合文章大意，适合作标题，故选C。 D Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie? A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect. Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants. These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns. “The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.” 12. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage? A. The economic benefits of tax compliance. B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges. C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations. D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud. 13. What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3? A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering. 14. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting? A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.” C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.” 15. Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage? A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties. B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals. C. Promoting honesty pledges in international trade. D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是诚信誓言对人类行为的影响，揭示了通过精确措辞可以有效减少不诚实行为的心理机制及实际应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie?(仅仅做出诚实誓言而没有任何惩罚，是否能让人更诚实行事，即使有理由撒谎？)”以及第二段中的“A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded.(最近发表在《自然·人类行为》上的一项研究表明，诚信誓言可以有效减少不诚实行为——但前提是措辞必须谨慎)”以及实验通过模拟税务申报场景，对比不同誓言的效力发现，明确的规则性誓言显著降低了作弊行为，这一过程涉及心理学机制，如承诺的主动参与和社会规范的影响，由此可知，研究的主要焦点是探讨诚信誓言的心理机制及其有效性。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges.(未做誓言而直接申报收入的对照组参与者的报税compliance平均为82.3%，而做出誓言的组别平均为86.2%)”可知，此处介绍了两个不同组别报税的情况，结合第二段中的“They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. (随后，他们需要报告自己的收入，这些收入将被征收35%的税。参与者可以毫无后果地撒谎，但他们被告知，所收税款将捐给红十字会)”可知，参与者要按照规定征收35%的税，他们可以毫无后果的撒谎，由此可知，实验中比较的征税情况应是纳税合规率，所以划线单词的意思与“合乎规则，遵守规则”意义相近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). (明确的誓言如“虚报是被禁止的”比模糊的陈述如“我是诚实的人”更能减少作弊行为。次有效的誓言明确了不诚实的含义或应遵循的规则)”可知，明确的誓言比模糊的陈述更能减少作弊行为。由此可知，在学校考试中，最有效的誓言应具体说明规则，如“作弊违反学术规则”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns.(正如研究员肖尔·沙尔维所指出的：“措辞的精确性不仅仅是语法问题，它还是象征性姿态与真实行为改变之间的分水岭。” 该团队现在正在现实环境中应用这些见解，包括医院追踪医疗设备的归还情况)”可知，文中提到的实际应用是“在医院追踪医疗设备归还”。故选B项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分，满分15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。 Emotional blackmail (胁迫) isn’t something to take lightly.____16____. Being a target can impact your mental health. You may feel confused, ashamed, depressed, doubtful, or even question your own judgement. Below are 4 actionable ways to help you. Highlight the unacceptable conduct Manipulators (操控者) tend to “play the fool” when you call out their bad behavior. ____17____. With this in mind, carefully point out what they have been doing wrong and hold them accountable. For example, you could say, “I am usually on the receiving end of threats and conditions when you’d like to get something. I will no longer accept this or similar behavior.” Calm honesty often works best. ____18____ Manipulators are always looking for the weaknesses in others to take advantage of. While expressing your concerns, be careful not to demonstrate anger or emotional pain. Don’t beg, don’t cry. Otherwise, they will find a way to use it against you later on. Quit people-pleasing If you are a people-pleaser, you are an easy target for emotional blackmailers. ____19____. You can overcome this tendency to help or please by learning the power of saying, “No.” The one-word response limits what blackmailers get — nothing in this case. Distance yourself from the unpleasant situation ____20____. That’s okay. You can simply walk away, disconnect, or tune out. You are in self-preservation since you are aware emotional blackmailers only care about themselves. We can’t control people, but we can establish boundaries to protect ourselves from those who are unreasonable and manipulative. A. Keep your emotions in check B. Allow your feelings to guide you C. Actually, blackmailers just want attention D. People-pleasers often struggle to refuse requests E. Getting blackmailed means you’re experiencing emotional abuse F.

G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了情感胁迫的危害及自我保护方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Emotional blackmail isn’t something to take lightly.(情感胁迫不可轻视)” 以及后文“Being a target can impact your mental health.(成为目标会影响你的心理健康)”可知，本句为过渡句，阐释为什么情感胁迫不可轻视。E选项“被情感胁迫等同于遭受情感虐待”解释了情感胁迫的严重性，与上下文逻辑一致，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Manipulators (操控者) tend to “play the fool” when you call out their bad behavior.(操控者在你指出其不良行为时会“装傻”)”以及后文“With this in mind, carefully point out what they have been doing wrong and hold them accountable.(记住这一点，仔细指出他们做错了什么，让他们承担责任)”可知，本句主要列举操控者典型行为，与“play the fool”形成并列。故F选项“他们也准备好迅速将责任推给你或别人”符合语境，故选 F。 【18题详解】 根据本段内容“Manipulators are always looking for the weaknesses in others to take advantage of. While expressing your concerns, be careful not to demonstrate anger or emotional pain. Don’t beg, don’t cry. Otherwise, they will find a way to use it against you later on.(操纵者总是在寻找他人的弱点并加以利用。在表达你的担忧时，注意不要表现出愤怒或情感上的痛苦。不要乞求，不要哭泣。否则，他们以后会找到办法利用它来对付你)”可知本段讲的是“操控者会利用你的情绪弱点”，并建议“不要表现出愤怒或痛苦”。A选项“控制好你的情绪”概括了本段主旨，是最佳标题，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“If you are a people-pleaser, you are an easy target for emotional blackmailers.(如果你是一个讨人喜欢的人，你很容易成为情感勒索者的目标)”前文指出讨好型人格的人是情感胁迫的目标，下文则提出应对建议：“You can overcome this tendency to help or please by learning the power of saying, “No.”(你可以通过学习说“不”的力量来克服这种帮助或取悦的倾向)”，由此可知，本句解释people-pleasers的典型行为特征。选项D“取悦他人的人常常很难拒绝别人的要求”准确指出讨好型人格难以拒绝他人请求，正是他们被操控的根源，也为后一句提供了解决方向。D选项在逻辑与内容上都起到承上启下的作用，衔接自然，因此为最佳答案，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据后文“That’s okay. You can simply walk away, disconnect, or tune out. You are in self-preservation since you are aware emotional blackmailers only care about themselves. We can’t control people, but we can establish boundaries to protect ourselves from those who are unreasonable and manipulative.(那也没关系。你可以简单地走开，断开连接，或者忽略它。你在自我保护，因为你知道情感勒索者只关心他们自己。我们不能控制别人，但我们可以建立界限，保护自己不受无理取闹和控制欲强的人的伤害)”可知，这一段的主题是：即使你已经尽力应对情感胁迫，结果可能依然不如预期，但没关系——你可以选择走开、切断联系、不理睬。因此，G选项“即使采取了最可行的措施，事情也可能不会如预期般发展”能够自然引出“那也没关系(That’s okay)”这个承接句，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Mom looked after us with all her heart and gave us an abundance of love.

The shop owner replied, “For anything between $30 and $50.” The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change from it. “I have $2. 37 on me,” he said in a low voice. “Can I please look at them?” The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out of the doghouse came the mother dog, who ran down the passage of his shop, followed by five tiny ball of fur. One puppy was moving slowly and fell behind. In no time the little boy picked out the slow puppy and asked, “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The shop owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered that one of his back legs was injured. He would always walk slowly and with difficulty. He would be lame (瘸的). Hearing what the shop owner had said, the little boy became excited, “That is the little puppy I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the shop owner’s eyes and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. As a matter of fact, I’ll give you $2. 37 right now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The shop owner shook his head and declined the little boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All of a sudden, the little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The shop owner shook his head and declined the little boy. He said, “You really don’t need to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run, jump and play with you like the other puppies.” The little boy stood his ground, determined to pay for the limping puppy. He looked at the store owner with unwavering confidence and replied, “He may not be perfect, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving of a loving home.” All of a sudden, the little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. A badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace came into sight. The boy looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!” Tears sparkling in eyes, the owner handed over the lame puppy to the boy. It always feels so great to have someone who understands you and cares for you heart and soul. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩到一家卖小狗的店里买狗，却看中了一只后腿受伤走路一瘸一拐的小狗，店主说可以把狗送给他，虽然小男孩钱不够，但是他坚持要分期付款。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“店主摇了摇头，拒绝了小男孩。”可知，第一段可描写店主描述反对的原因以及小男孩说明自己坚持付钱的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，小男孩伸手卷起一条裤腿。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩展示自己腿上的残疾，店主深受感动，把狗交给小男孩。 2.续写线索：店主解释——小男孩坚持付钱并说明原因——小男孩展示残疾——店主流泪——店主把狗交给小男孩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②回答：reply/answer ③映入眼帘：come into sight/come into view 情绪类 ①流泪：tears sparkling in eyes/tears welling up in the eyes ②关心：care for/be concerned about 【点睛】[高分句型1]Tears sparkling in eyes, the owner handed over the lame puppy to the boy. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] It always feels so great to have someone who understands you and cares for you heart and soul. （由关系代词who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
