It combines brain science, the study of the mind, and a smart comparison to physics, turning complex ideas into a practical guide for learning about yourself. What’s the Core Idea? Peña describes human behavior through four “forces”—related to emotion, thinking, communication, and social environment—each linked to key brain parts: Affective Force (Amygdala): The “fast natural reaction” driver, in charge of quick “like or fear” judgments that form our emotional natural responses. Cognitive (认知的) Force (Thalamus): The thinking engine, helping with memory, working things out, and making sensible choices. Communicative Force (Cerebral Cortex): The social link, driving our wish to connect, work together, and share our thoughts. Socio-Environmental Force (Insular Cortex): The “bonding guide,” connecting us to people, things, or ideas that make life meaningful (for example: devotion to a group or love for a hobby). The model explains why we focus on certain goals and feel unsatisfied when these forces are out of balance. Who is This for? Whether you enjoy self-improvement, are a curious reader, or want clear insights instead of unclear advice, this book is easy to understand and engaging. Peña uses everyday examples—like why a stressful email makes your amygdala react—to make brain science useful and easy to put into action. You’ll learn to notice when emotion is stronger than reason and how to improve communication for better relationships. Ready to stop guessing and start living with more purpose? Let The Four Forces of Human Nature: A Unifying Theory be your guide. 21. What is Roberto Treviño Peña? A. A physicist. B. A book critic. C. A publisher. D. A brain specialist. 22. Which brain region mainly handles logical reasoning? A. Amygdala. B. Thalamus. C. Cerebral Cortex. D. Insular Cortex. 23. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A medical journal. C. A guidebook. D. A research report. B After a wait of 22 years, Barbara Morgan finally achieved her lifetime dream. The spaceship Endeavor was launched on August 8, carrying her and six other crew members into space. Morgan, a former school teacher, was on a two-week trip to the International Space Station (ISS). This makes her the first professional teacher who has experienced flying in space. Morgan’s main duties include taking goods from Endeavor to the ISS and controlling the spaceship’s robotic arms to help set up new station hardware. She will also teach a six-hour course to students on the Earth. She took a plant with her onto the spaceship. She will use it to explain how plants grow in space. Morgan hopes that it will encourage students to think about how future astronauts might grow food on missions to the moon and Mars. “The task force highlighted the need to motivate students to pursue the science and engineering fields,” said Morgan in a preflight interview. Morgan was a 55-year-old elementary school teacher before she became an astronaut. She was chosen as the backup candidate for NASA’s Teacher in Space program in 1985．But it was not until 1998 that she became a full-time astronaut. During her training she witnessed two spaceflight tragedies (悲剧) — the 1986 Challenger explosion and the 2003 Columbia accident. But she was not put off. Something deep inside of her made her push on with the work. “There’s nothing more important than our kids and our future and keeping their future open-ended,” said Morgan. Morgan also hopes that her flight will be the first of many journeys for astronauts who are also educators. After her return to the Earth last Wednesday, Morgan wishes to continue her beloved career — being an elementary school teacher. 24. During the mission, Morgan played the following roles except ______. A. a supply transporter B. a botanical expert C. an astronaut educator D. a technical operator 25. What does the underlined phrase “put off” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Delayed. B. Deserted. C. Dismissed. D. Discouraged. 26. Which of the following best describes Morgan? A. Curious and humorous. B. Creative and adventurous. C. Ambitious and generous. D. Forward-thinking and dedicated. 27. What does Morgan’s experience show? A. Better late than never. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. When one door closes, another opens. C Managers are better equipped than ever to make good decisions. They are more aware that human judgment is subject to errors. They have tons of data about their customers and products. They can use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse, summarize and process information with once-impossible speed. But as companies shift from relying on instincts (直觉) to making decisions based on data, they need to be alive to a different set of risks. In a recent paper Linda and her co-authors identify a bias that they call “quantification fixation”. The risk of depending on data alone for judgment is familiar: it is sometimes referred to as the McNamara fallacy (麦克纳马拉谬误). But Linda and her co-authors help explain why people put disproportionate weight on numbers through an experiment. In the experiment, participants were asked to imagine choosing between two software engineers for a promotion. One engineer had been assessed as more likely to climb the ladder but less likely to stay at the firm; the other, by contrast, had a higher probability of staying but a lower chance of advancement. The researchers varied the way that this information was presented. They found that participants were more likely to choose on the basis of future promotion prospects when only that criterion was quantified, and to select on staying probability when that was the thing with a number attached. One answer to this bias is to quantify everything. But not everything translates cleanly into numbers. A firm’s culture is harder to express as a number for job-seekers than its salary levels. Data can tell an early-stage investor more about a startup’s financials than a founder’s resilience (韧性). The problem is that they do not always tell the whole story. This is not to claim that humans always make better decisions than machines. Far from it. But it is a warning. Numbers promise precision, certainty and objectivity. They have imperfections, too. 28. What best defines the “McNamara fallacy” in paragraph 2? A. Prioritizing quality over quantity. B. Underestimating the development of AI. C. Overvaluing instincts in judgment. D. Making decisions merely based on data. 29. What can be inferred about data from Linda’s experiment? A. They eliminate subjective criteria. B. They enhance people’s freedom of choice. C. They facilitate comparison effectively. D. They illustrate the complexity of assessment. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about regarding the quantification of everything? A. The methods. B. The principles. C. The limitations. D. The applications. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Maximize the Value of Data B. Be Alert to the Dangers of Data C. Identify Biases through Data D. Accept the Imperfections of Data D In the past, fireproofing materials were made with poisonous, flame-proofing chemicals. These have been replaced with other chemicals, which are considered safer, but some studies have linked these alternatives with brain damage and harm to water creatures. Tien Huynh at a University in Melbourne, Australia, and her colleagues have developed a more eco-friendly fireproofing material using mycelium — the root-like structure of fungus (真菌). They grew mycelium from the fungus that can be eaten in containers of liquid molasses — a byproduct of sugar production. The mycelium grew as blankets on top of the molasses, which the researchers removed and dried before pressing them into millimetre-thin sheets. When the mycelium sheets were exposed to 800℃ flames, an outer layer of char (碳化) was quickly generated to prevent the rest of the sheets from burning. “The material caught fire for about one second then ceased burning,” Huynh says. “The sheets only produced water and carbon dioxide (CO2) when they were set on fire, making them safer than existing fireproofing chemicals.” The team now hopes to develop fire-resistant coating for homes and other buildings out of the fungus, which could be applied as a wallpaper-thin sheet or made into thicker panels. “The material appears to be highly durable,” says Huynh. Her team previously used it to make bricks, and she says she has had one sitting in her room for 10 years that hasn’t shown any signs of breaking down. “I can still jump on it because it’s so strong,” she says. “The fungus is killed during the drying process, so there is no danger of mushrooms growing out of the sheets.” However, scaling up production of the material could be challenging. “The fungus don’t need light or electricity to grow, but they do need a big space if you want to grow enough for the building industry,” says Huynh. “Because they’re biological organisms, they’re also easy to be polluted (污染).” But Huynh mentions that her team has been approached by industry groups that may be able to assist with this scale-up process. 32. How is paragraph 1 organized? A. History → Current state → Future prediction B. Problem → Existing solution → New solution C. Description → Definition → Recommendation D. Assumption → Supporting details → Conclusion 33. What stops the mycelium sheets from burning? A. The application of liquid molasses. B. The absorption of heat by inner parts. C. The formation of a protective cover. D. The release of fire-proofing chemicals. 34. How does Huynh emphasize the material’s durability? A. By giving an example. B. By quoting others. C. By making a comparison. D. By using statistics. 35. What does Huynh think of the production scale-up of the material? A. It is unlikely. B. It is easily achievable. C. It is unrealistic. D. It is cautiously promising. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 The downside of creating good habits Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. ____36____ When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. In this way, habits are the backbone of any pursuit of excellence. However, the benefits of habits come at a cost. At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. ____37____ You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better. The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. ____38____ In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. In fact, some research has shown that once a skill has been mastered there is usually a slight decline in performance over time. ____39____ To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work. Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. ____40____ A. It’s an endless cycle. B. This is true for any attempt. C. Next, you will get more positive feedback. D. Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery. E. With habits like these, good enough is usually good enough. F. You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience. G. But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Today was the day!

For years, she had worked on a book about a special local sports story. It was about a small-town basketball team’s amazing journey to the state finals. She believed it could encourage many, but after countless rewrites, every publisher still said no. The dream began to feel impossible. One quiet morning, hoping to find some fresh ideas, she put on the shirt with a picture of her favourite music band and took her notebook to the bookstore downstairs that housed a café. The smell of coffee and paper always comforted her. However, the main area was crowded, so she found a chair between the cooking and travel shelves. She settled in and lost herself in creation. Suddenly, a voice interrupted her. “Excuse me, miss,” an old man said softly. He was reaching for a cookbook on the shelf behind her and needed her to move her chair slightly. As she shifted to make room, she noticed his sweatshirt had the same picture as her shirt. Obviously, he noticed it too. They exchanged a smile and began to talk. As the talk went on, Jessica learned that the old man named John was a writer too, and had even published books with his wife. Encouraged by his kindness and experience, Jessica finally gathered the courage to share her own dream — the book about the basketball team. Once she started, the words poured out. She told him about the hard work she had put into the book. “Publishers keep saying no,” she sighed. “I’m out of energy.” John leaned in, gentle but firm. “Why wait for them? That story’s too good to be forgotten. Publish it yourself.” He stressed that her book was worth all the effort she’d put in, and told her not to let others’ “no” stop her from following her dream. 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。 Jessica was surprised by John’s self-publishing suggestion. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At her book signing event, Jessica saw John in the line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语 本试卷共10页，67题，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。 【1题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】B 【3题答案】 【答案】A 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】B 第二节(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

These are valuable talents too! Don’t be discouraged by what others can do. Instead, focus on what makes you happy and continue developing your abilities.

As she absorbed his words, a flicker of hope appeared in her eyes. John noticed that and offered a final piece of encouragement before he left. “Just start,” he said warmly. “You’ve done the hardest part.” Inspired, Jessica left the bookstore with a new drive. Over the next few weeks, she spent weeks researching and preparing for self-publishing. She worked tirelessly to finalize the manuscript and create an appealing cover. Finally, she managed to publish her book. To her delight, it began to gain attention from readers who were inspired by the small-town basketball team’s journey. At her book signing event, Jessica saw John in the line. He was standing at the back of the crowd, with a proud smile on his face. Seeing her old friend, Jessica’s eyes lit up with gratitude. She walked over to John. “I can’t thank you enough,” she said, handing him a signed copy. “The encounter with you made this book possible.” John smiled warmly. “The story was always there, Jessica. You just needed to bring it to the world yourself.” As they chatted, Jessica realized that the journey had not only fulfilled her dream but had also taught her a valuable lesson about perseverance and the power of taking control of her own destiny. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力部分该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答该部分时，请将听力答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
