Pride is often considered a negative force in human existence — the opposite of humility and a source of social conflicts. But is it? According to psychologist Jessica Tracy, pride can have many boons. She argues that pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be.
Pride makes us feel good, and it’s an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way consistent with the values of our society. Tracy argues that those who regularly experience pride tend to be “outgoing, friendly, agreeable, calm and honest”, and “are generally communally oriented, meaning they place a high value on their relationships and friendships”. In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their communities.
But that doesn’t mean that pride is all for the good. It has a dark side, too, when it leads to hubris. Hubris is pride that has been falsely assumed without merit in order to drive away an inner sense of insecurity. If individuals exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone who questions them, it’s a sign that pride has turned to hubris. Moreover, people having hubris are more likely to be prejudiced and less likely to show empathy.
Can authentic pride lead to hubris? It depends, says Tracy. If you feel authentic pride and it inspires you to do good by your community’s standards, great. But if you start feeling the need to live up to others’ expectations and earn their admiration by cheating, chalices are you are leaning toward hubris.
To avoid pride slipping toward hubris, Tracy warns people not to lose their heads over the positive regard they receive for their accomplishments. “When we start to receive the gains — be they increased status, fame, or fortune — it becomes exceedingly easy to forget that these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good person,” says Tracy. “We should always remind ourselves that these accomplishments are not our primary goals.”
24.What does the underlined word “boons” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. benefits. B. limitations. C. forms. D. controversies.
25.Why can pride help people develop good moral characters?
A. Pride can encourage people to work harder.
B. Pride can make people value social recognition.
C. Pride can give people a sense of responsibility.
D. Pride can help people better control their emotions.
26.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. To offer a solution to hubris.
B. To describe specific behavior of hubris.
C. To explain the motivation behind hubris.
D. To stress the terrible consequences of hubris.
27.Which of the following can make authentic pride turn into hubris?
A. Trying to win other people’s admiration.
B. Lowering expectations for achievements.
C. Failing to receive the well-deserved rewards.
D. Regarding external rewards as the ultimate pursuit.
C
In today’s society, social networking sites like WeChat, Tik Tok are an important part of our lives, connecting us with friends, family, and new acquaintances (熟人). However, these platforms are not suitable for children, who are increasingly using them at younger ages due to easier technology availability.
Studies show that children on social media often have behavioral problems, becoming more self-centered, anti-social, and aggressive (攻击性的). Their social skills suffer as they prefer texting to face-to-face interactions. Oxford expert Susan Greenfield notes that screen time keeps children from learning real-world communication skills, such as body language and tone of voice, stressing the need to enforce age limits.
Privacy risks are another major concern. Children often share too much personal information, unaware of the dangers. A recent incident in Renfrewshire involved a man pretending to be a parent to a girl, likely targeting her through details she posted online. Young children are particularly vulnerable due to their simple- mindedness and inability to understand the outcomes of their actions, making them easy targets for those with bad intentions.
The “touch generation” is introduced to technology early, with smartphones and tablets becoming common among young children. Cyberbullying (网络欺凌) is widespread, following children home unlike traditional bullying. The Cyberbullying Research Centre reports that about half of young people experience cyberbullying, with 10% — 20% regularly affected. This problem has left many young lives shadowed by lasting anxiety and deep emotional wounds that can follow them well into adulthood.
While safe, monitored sites like Club Penguin exist, allowing children to explore social media in a protected environment, no site can ensure complete safety. Children should wait until they are old enough to deal with possible issues.
In conclusion, social networking sites, though beneficial for adults, bring mental, emotional, and physical risks to children, who should be allowed to enjoy their childhood without the pressures and dangers of social media.
28.What is Susan Greenfield’s view on children who use social media?
A. They have difficulty in reasoning. B. They always think about themselves.
C. They behave rudely towards others. D. They lack real-world communication skills.
29.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fully aware. B. Easily hurt.
C. Rapidly developing. D. Regularly changing.
30.What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A. Cyberbullying affects many young people.
B. Early technology use leads to poor social skills.
C. Smartphones have become a necessity for students.
D. Children should be prevented from electronic devices.
31.What does the text focus on?
A. The methods of surfing the Internet wisely.
B. The popularity of using smartphones among students.
C. The seriousness of cyberbullying on social networking sites.
D. The disadvantages of children using social networking sites.

Cai Lei, former vice-president of JD Group, reveals how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis (诊断) set him on the path to find a cure.
Born to a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “one has to fight for himself”. Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice (发票) in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value.
Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality.
To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1‒3 billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed.
Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing.
32.What kind of person is Cai Lei?
A. Extremely gifted and ambitious. B. Hard-working and warm-hearted.
C. Quite responsible and dependable. D. Highly motivated and strong-willed.
33.What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS?
A. Losing the ability to think and speak normally.
B. Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines.
C. Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis.
D. Needing external assistance to survive in the end.
34.Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To talk about the severity of Alzheimer’s disease.
B. To prove Alzheimer’s disease to be a common disease.
C. To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS.
D. To ask for more investment in the research on ALS.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Joint efforts to fight ALS B. A man who never gives in
C. ALS, a rare deadly disease D. Suffering of a man with ALS
第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5分)
Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 36 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it.
37 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress.
But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 38 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm.
Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 39
Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 40 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability.
A. This can be a form of abuse.
B. Control has clear positive applications.
C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence.
D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason.
E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense.
F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes.
G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress.

When I turned 18, my grandma handed me a hand-knitted cardigan (羊毛衫). Money was short for her, and that was all she could 41 . However, I didn’t like it. Disappointed, I forced a dry “thanks” and put it into my closet (衣柜). Weeks later, she 42 .
Years flew by, but I never 43 it. The cardigan stayed in the closet until my 15-year-old daughter found it one evening. “Can I try this on?” she asked. As she pulled it on, she 44 something inside the pocket — a small paper envelope, yellowed with time. I became speechless when I saw what was inside: a 45 .
I felt 46 . Grandma knew Backstreet Boys was my favorite band. Though life was hard for her, she had saved for the ticket — 47 me to have a great time. But I never even gave the cardigan a second 48 .
That night, I held the cardigan and cried — for her 49 , for my ingratitude (忘恩负义), for all the years I could have wrapped myself in her love, but…
Now, I wear it often. Sometimes, I even sleep in it, as if it still holds her 50 . Though the lesson came too 51 , it’s one I’ll never forget: love isn’t always expensive or 52 . Sometimes, it’s hidden in a quiet place, waiting patiently for us to 53 it.
Grandma’s final gift wasn’t the cardigan or the ticket. It was the 54 that kindness, no matter how small, lingers (逗留) long after we’re gone. And for that, I’ll always be 55 .

Nature inspires us to create many of the most fascinating architecture designs. Here are three 56 (architect) designs inspired by nature.
57 (shape) like a lotus flower, Singapore’s Art Science Museum produces waterfalls using recycled rainwater. Visitors are often amazed to find 58 (they) in an urban building that so 59 (true) captures the beauty of nature forms.
Harare’s Eastgate Centre is 60 superb example of biomimicry (仿生学). Just like the mounds of termites (白蚁穴), it is covered in holes designed 61 (draw) air into the building during the day and the air absorbed by the wall warms the cool air at night, creating a comfortable temperature inside.
The Algae House in Hamburg is an excellent piece of work of making natural organisms part of a building. Its surface is covered in panels 62 contain algae (藻类). This design has three advantages: the panels capture heat from the sun and convert it 63 energy that powers the whole building; the algae grow faster in bright sunshine, providing shade; besides, the algae can also 64 (harvest) and used to produce fuel. Therefore, the building reduces the damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy.
Creating buildings such as these 65 (enable) us to live in closer harmony with our environment.

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。
Small troubles often show what a person is really like, and a common dinner turned out to be an honesty test that I will never forget.
After a long, tiring week, I decided to reward myself with a good meal at a well-liked restaurant. The moment I walked in, the scent (香味) of freshly cooked food greeted me. The place had a calm, welcoming vibe — its walls were covered with encouraging quotes, and there were comfortable couches (沙发) to settle into.
As I looked over the wide range of dishes on the menu, I felt all my stress gone. There were so many tasty choices that I struggled to pick. After thinking it over, I finally ordered my food.
Watching the waiters carry plates of food and breathing in the delicious scent only increased my hunger. The room was filled with the chatter of people and the clinking of cups and plates. As the food arrived, diners busied themselves enjoying the steaming, mouth-watering dishes.
Soon my dish arrived and I was excited to dive in. With the first bite, a joyous feeling spread across my tongue. From that moment until the very end, every single bite was enjoyable. I must admit I felt a little sad when my plate was empty, but I was relaxed and satisfied — the tiredness of the week had completely disappeared.
However, as I reached for my wallet, a sense of nervousness washed over me. I checked all my pockets and searched through my bag. A sinking feeling grew as I realized my wallet was nowhere to be found. My heartbeat echoed (回响) in my chest. The air felt heavy and my hands grew sweaty.
People began to notice, and some even whispered about me. I wished I could disappear into the thin air. Crazy thoughts raced through my mind. At first, I considered sneaking out quietly, or even lying and saying the food was terrible so I wouldn’t have to pay. But deep down I knew that wasn’t the right thing to do. Then I saw the manager, whose polite smile never left his face.
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。
With a heavy heart, I approached the manager. ______________________________________________________________________________

Pride is often considered a negative force in human existence — the opposite of humility and a source of social conflicts. But is it? According to psychologist Jessica Tracy, pride can have many boons. She argues that pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be.
Pride makes us feel good, and it’s an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way consistent with the values of our society. Tracy argues that those who regularly experience pride tend to be “outgoing, friendly, agreeable, calm and honest”, and “are generally communally oriented, meaning they place a high value on their relationships and friendships”. In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their communities.
But that doesn’t mean that pride is all for the good. It has a dark side, too, when it leads to hubris. Hubris is pride that has been falsely assumed without merit in order to drive away an inner sense of insecurity. If individuals exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone who questions them, it’s a sign that pride has turned to hubris. Moreover, people having hubris are more likely to be prejudiced and less likely to show empathy.
Can authentic pride lead to hubris? It depends, says Tracy. If you feel authentic pride and it inspires you to do good by your community’s standards, great. But if you start feeling the need to live up to others’ expectations and earn their admiration by cheating, chalices are you are leaning toward hubris.
To avoid pride slipping toward hubris, Tracy warns people not to lose their heads over the positive regard they receive for their accomplishments. “When we start to receive the gains — be they increased status, fame, or fortune — it becomes exceedingly easy to forget that these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good person,” says Tracy. “We should always remind ourselves that these accomplishments are not our primary goals.”
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文,探讨自豪感的双重影响:心理学家杰西卡·特雷西认为自豪感有诸多益处,能激励人们符合社会价值观、重视人际关系,但过度自豪会演变为傲慢,带来偏见、缺乏同理心等问题,文章还给出了避免自豪感滑向傲慢的建议。
24.What does the underlined word “boons” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. benefits. B. limitations. C. forms. D. controversies.
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段“She argues that pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be.”可知,自豪感能激励我们成为最好的自己,自豪感能帮助人们生存和发展,因此“boons”意为“益处”。故选A。
25.Why can pride help people develop good moral characters?
A. Pride can encourage people to work harder.
B. Pride can make people value social recognition.
C. Pride can give people a sense of responsibility.
D. Pride can help people better control their emotions.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their communities”可知,自豪感让人们渴望获得社区的认可和尊重,从而激励人们培养良好的道德品质。故选B。
26.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. To offer a solution to hubris.
B. To describe specific behavior of hubris.
C. To explain the motivation behind hubris.
D. To stress the terrible consequences of hubris.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“If individuals exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone who questions them”可知,描述了傲慢的具体行为表现,如夸大自身的重要性、将他人的成就据为己有、欺侮他人、对质疑者实施攻击行为等。故选B。
27.Which of the following can make authentic pride turn into hubris?
A. Trying to win other people’s admiration.
B. Lowering expectations for achievements.
C. Failing to receive the well-deserved rewards.
D. Regarding external rewards as the ultimate pursuit.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中:“these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good person” 和“these accomplishments are not our primary goals”可知,若将地位、名声等外部奖励当作最终追求,容易让自豪感演变为傲慢。故选D。
In today’s society, social networking sites like WeChat, Tik Tok are an important part of our lives, connecting us with friends, family, and new acquaintances (熟人). However, these platforms are not suitable for children, who are increasingly using them at younger ages due to easier technology availability.
Studies show that children on social media often have behavioral problems, becoming more self-centered, anti-social, and aggressive (攻击性的). Their social skills suffer as they prefer texting to face-to-face interactions. Oxford expert Susan Greenfield notes that screen time keeps children from learning real-world communication skills, such as body language and tone of voice, stressing the need to enforce age limits.
Privacy risks are another major concern. Children often share too much personal information, unaware of the dangers. A recent incident in Renfrewshire involved a man pretending to be a parent to a girl, likely targeting her through details she posted online. Young children are particularly vulnerable due to their simple- mindedness and inability to understand the outcomes of their actions, making them easy targets for those with bad intentions.
The “touch generation” is introduced to technology early, with smartphones and tablets becoming common among young children. Cyberbullying (网络欺凌) is widespread, following children home unlike traditional bullying. The Cyberbullying Research Centre reports that about half of young people experience cyberbullying, with 10% — 20% regularly affected. This problem has left many young lives shadowed by lasting anxiety and deep emotional wounds that can follow them well into adulthood.
While safe, monitored sites like Club Penguin exist, allowing children to explore social media in a protected environment, no site can ensure complete safety. Children should wait until they are old enough to deal with possible issues.
In conclusion, social networking sites, though beneficial for adults, bring mental, emotional, and physical risks to children, who should be allowed to enjoy their childhood without the pressures and dangers of social media.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,论述了儿童过早使用社交媒体可能带来的多重风险,包括阻碍现实社交技能发展、隐私泄露、网络欺凌等,并引用专家观点和研究数据,呼吁应让儿童在足够成熟后再接触社交媒体。
28.What is Susan Greenfield’s view on children who use social media?
A. They have difficulty in reasoning. B. They always think about themselves.
C. They behave rudely towards others. D. They lack real-world communication skills.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段苏珊·格林菲尔德的观点“Oxford expert Susan Greenfield notes that screen time keeps children from learning real-world communication skills, such as body language and tone of voice”可知,她认为使用社交媒体的儿童缺乏现实世界的沟通技能。故选D。
29.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fully aware. B. Easily hurt.
C. Rapidly developing. D. Regularly changing.
【答案】B
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段“vulnerable”后的解释“due to their simple-mindedness and inability to understand the outcomes of their actions, making them easy targets for those with bad intentions”(因为心智单纯、无法理解行为后果,易成为恶意目标)可知,该词意为“易受伤害的”。故选B。
30.What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A. Cyberbullying affects many young people.
B. Early technology use leads to poor social skills.
C. Smartphones have become a necessity for students.
D. Children should be prevented from electronic devices.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。第四段明确提到“The Cyberbullying Research Centre reports that about half of young people experience cyberbullying”,即网络欺凌影响了许多年轻人。故选A。
31.What does the text focus on?
A. The methods of surfing the Internet wisely.
B. The popularity of using smartphones among students.
C. The seriousness of cyberbullying on social networking sites.
D. The disadvantages of children using social networking sites.
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。文章通过引用研究和专家观点,从阻碍现实社交技能发展、隐私安全、网络欺凌等多个维度,系统论证了“mental, emotional, and physical risks”社交媒体对儿童身心发展的潜在风险,并在文末明确提出应让儿童远离社交媒体的观点。因此,文章焦点在于阐述儿童使用社交媒体的弊端与风险。故选D。
Cai Lei, former vice-president of JD Group, reveals how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis (诊断) set him on the path to find a cure.
Born to a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “one has to fight for himself”. Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice (发票) in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value.
Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality.
To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1‒3 billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed.
Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing.
【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了京东集团前副总裁蔡磊在2019年被确诊肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)后,没有向命运屈服,而是创办医疗科技公司、组建研究团队、亲身试药,甚至决定捐献大脑和脊髓用于科研,全力攻克ALS难题的故事,凸显了他坚韧不拔的意志。
32.What kind of person is Cai Lei?
A. Extremely gifted and ambitious. B. Hard-working and warm-hearted.
C. Quite responsible and dependable. D. Highly motivated and strong-willed.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段,特别是“Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value.”,可知,蔡磊刻苦学习,并且在工作的时候也努力地为公司创造价值,说明他是一个有着坚强意志的,且积极性很高的人。故选D项。
33.What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS?
A. Losing the ability to think and speak normally.
B. Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines.
C. Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis.
D. Needing external assistance to survive in the end.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons... Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive.”可知,ALS患者的运动神经元会逐渐死亡,最终会完全依赖机器和他人的帮助才能生存。故选D项。
34.Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To talk about the severity of Alzheimer’s disease.
B. To prove Alzheimer’s disease to be a common disease.
C. To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS.
D. To ask for more investment in the research on ALS.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。第四段先指出研发ALS特效药难度极大——周期长、成本高、疾病罕见无利可图,随后以阿尔茨海默病为例,说明新药研发困难。由此可知,提及阿尔茨海默病是为了进一步佐证攻克ALS的艰难程度。故选C项。
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Joint efforts to fight ALS B. A man who never gives in
C. ALS, a rare deadly disease D. Suffering of a man with ALS
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。文章围绕蔡磊展开,讲述了他确诊ALS后,直面绝症带来的挑战,坚持不懈地投身于药物研发,即便屡遭失败也绝不放弃的故事,核心是赞扬他“永不屈服”的精神。故选B项。
三、七选五
Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 36 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it.
37 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress.
But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 38 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm.
Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 39
Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 40 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,探讨了“控制”这一概念的双重性,既肯定其在维持秩序、促进个人成长方面的积极应用,也分析了当其演变为过度控制欲时对人际关系和心理健康的负面影响,并剖析了控制欲背后潜在的心理动因。
A. This can be a form of abuse.
B. Control has clear positive applications.
C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence.
D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason.
E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense.
F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes.
G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress.
36.【答案】F
【解析】文章开篇提及控制常被贴上“专横、霸道”等负面标签,但通过“However”转折指出控制并非纯负面。选项F“实际上,控制不能简单地归入‘好’或‘坏’的范畴”承接上文,明确指出了控制的复杂性,与下文“其作用远更复杂”形成递进,自然引出下文对控制双重性的深入探讨。故选F。
37.【答案】B
【解析】本段后续内容列举了空中交通管制员保障飞行安全、教师有效管理课堂、以及自控力促进个人成长等实例。选项B“控制有明显的积极应用”精准概括了本段主旨,作为段首主题句,能很好地统领下文的具体例证。故选B。
38.【答案】A
【解析】上文描述了某些人使用威胁甚至暴力来强加意志的行为。选项A“这可能是一种形式的虐待”是对上述极端控制行为的定性,且下文中“such behavior”正是指代选项A所描述的虐待行为,并引出寻求帮助的建议,逻辑连贯。故选A。
39.【答案】G
【解析】上文阐述了控制欲如何与焦虑相关并形成恶性循环。选项G“如果不加以控制,它可能会破坏人际关系并引发压力”顺承上文,指出了这种恶性循环若持续发展可能导致的严重后果,与上文构成因果逻辑。故选G。

When I turned 18, my grandma handed me a hand-knitted cardigan (羊毛衫). Money was short for her, and that was all she could 41 . However, I didn’t like it. Disappointed, I forced a dry “thanks” and put it into my closet (衣柜). Weeks later, she 42 .
Years flew by, but I never 43 it. The cardigan stayed in the closet until my 15-year-old daughter found it one evening. “Can I try this on?” she asked.

That night, I held the cardigan and cried — for her 49 , for my ingratitude (忘恩负义), for all the years I could have wrapped myself in her love, but…

【答案】【参考范文】
With a heavy heart, I approached the manager. In a trembling voice, I explained the situation to him. He must have realized I was in trouble after taking a look at my face. To my surprise, he calmed me down and told me I could either pay online using my phone or return another day to settle the bill. I was astonished by how kindly he handled the matter. A sigh of relief escaped me, and gratitude washed over me. I promised that I would pay the bill as soon as possible.
The next day, I went to the restaurant again. The moment I arrived at the restaurant, I found the manager and paid the due bills. Then I expressed my heartfelt appreciation once more. The manager just smiled, waved my thanks away and said, “Everyone has a rainy day. I happened to be there and have an umbrella. Most importantly, your honesty is worth more than the bill.” That night, I didn’t just end a tiring week — I learned that doing the right thing, even when it is embarrassing, always brings more peace than any shortcut.
