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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is Lucy going to do this evening?

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. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了Roberto Treviño Peña所著的《人性的四大驱动力：统一理论》一书。 21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ve ever wondered why you react to stress, want to connect with others, or think too much, The Four Forces of Human Nature: A Unifying Theory by Roberto Treviño Peña offers a new, science-based way to understand behavior. 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.(如果你曾疑惑自己为何会对压力产生反应、渴望与他人建立联系，或是为何总是思虑过多，Roberto Treviño Peña所著的《人性的四大驱动力：统一理论》为你提供了一种基于科学的新方式来理解人类行为。该书将脑科学、心理学研究与对物理学的巧妙类比相结合，把复杂的概念转化为一本实用的自我探索指南。)”可知，Roberto Treviño Peña所著书籍结合了脑科学、心智研究和物理学类比，以科学为基础解读人类行为，且详细关联了大脑关键区域（如杏仁核、丘脑等）与行为的关系。由此可推断，他极有可能是脑科学相关领域的专家。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Cognitive Force (Thalamus): The thinking engine, helping with memory, working things out, and making sensible choices.(认知力（丘脑）：这个思维引擎能够协助记忆、解决问题以及做出明智的选择。)”可知，负责逻辑决策的大脑区域是丘脑（Thalamus）。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ready to stop guessing and start living with more purpose? Let The Four Forces of Human Nature: A Unifying Theory be your guide.(准备好停止盲目猜测，开始更有目标地生活了吗？就让《人性的四大驱动力：统一理论》成为你的指引吧。)”可知，本文很可能来自于杂志，故选A。 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. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Barbara Morgan等待22年终于实现梦想，成为首位进入太空的专业教师，她在执行任务中承担多种职责，经历训练中的悲剧仍坚持，归来后希望继续教师生涯的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(摩根的主要职责包括将货物从“奋进号”运送到国际空间站，并控制飞船的机械臂帮助安装新的空间站硬件。她还将为地球上的学生教授一门六小时的课程。她带着一株植物上了宇宙飞船。她将用它来解释植物在太空中是如何生长的)”可知，摩根在执行任务期间承担着物资运输、技术操作和宇航员教育工作，并未提及她是植物学专家。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“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.(在训练期间，她目睹了两起太空飞行悲剧——1986年的挑战者号爆炸和2003年的哥伦比亚号事故。但她并没有被put off。她内心深处有某种东西使她继续工作)”可知，虽然她目睹了两次太空飞行悲剧，但她并没有气馁，而是继续工作，由此可推知，put off在此处意为“使气馁，使沮丧”，与discouraged同义。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But she was not put off. Something deep inside of her made her push on with the work.(但她并没有被吓倒。她内心深处有某种东西使她继续工作)”和最后一段中““There’s nothing more important than our kids and our future and keeping their future open-ended,” said Morgan.(摩根说：“没有什么比我们的孩子和我们的未来更重要，让他们的未来充满无限可能。”)”可知，摩根在面对太空飞行悲剧时没有放弃，坚持追求梦想，体现其“dedicated(有献身精神的)”的特点；她关注孩子的未来，希望通过自己的飞行激励学生探索科学和工程领域，体现其“forward-thinking(有远见的)”的特点。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“After a wait of 22 years, Barbara Morgan finally achieved her lifetime dream. (经过22年的等待，Barbara Morgan终于实现了她一生的梦想)”第三段中“But she was not put off. Something deep inside of her made her push on with the work.(但她并没有被吓倒。她内心深处有某种东西使她继续工作)”可知，文章主要讲述了Morgan等待22年终于实现梦想，成为首位进入太空的专业教师，她在执行任务中承担多种职责，经历训练中的悲剧仍坚持，归来后希望继续教师生涯的故事，摩根的经历表明只要有决心和毅力，就能克服困难实现目标，即“有志者事竟成”。故选C项。 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 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是企业在从依赖直觉转向基于数据做决策的过程中所面临的潜在风险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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).(仅依赖数据来做判断的风险并不陌生：它有时被称为“麦克纳马拉谬误”。)”可知，麦克纳马拉谬误指的是仅根据数据做判断。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(他们发现，当只有未来晋升前景这一项标准被量化时，参与者更可能根据这一标准来选择；而当长期留任概率这一项被量化时，他们则更倾向于根据留任概率来选择。)”可知，数据化呈现后，参与者会依据数字进行选择，说明数据能有效方便比较，故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“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.(应对这种偏见的一个办法是将所有事物都量化。但并非所有事物都能清晰地转化为数字。对求职者而言，公司的文化比薪资水平更难用数字来描述。对于早期投资者来说，数据能让他们更多地了解一家初创企业的财务状况，却难以反映创始人的韧性。问题在于，数据并不总能揭示全部真相。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是量化一切的局限性，故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“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.(然而，随着企业从依赖直觉转向基于数据做决策，它们需要警惕另一类风险。)”和最后一段“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.(这并不是说人类做出的决策总是优于机器。远非如此。但这是一种警示：数字承诺了精确性、确定性和客观性，但它们也有不完美之处。)”可知，本文主要讲的是企业在从依赖直觉转向基于数据做决策的过程中所面临的潜在风险，因此最好的题目是B选项“Be Alert to the Dangers of Data(警惕数据的危险)”。故选B。 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. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述传统防火材料有毒且有隐患，澳大利亚团队用真菌菌丝研发出环保、安全、耐用的新型防火材料，虽扩大生产有挑战，但前景乐观。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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). (过去，防火材料是用有毒的阻燃化学品制成的。这些化学品已被其他被认为更安全的化学品所取代，但一些研究表明，这些替代品会造成脑损伤，并危害水生生物。澳大利亚墨尔本一所大学的田・黄（Tien Huynh）及其同事，利用菌丝体 —— 真菌的根状结构 —— 研发出了一种更环保的防火材料。)”可知，段落结构为：提出问题→现有解决方案→新解决方案。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (当真菌菌丝片接触800℃火焰时，会迅速形成一层碳化外层，阻止剩余部分燃烧。)”可知，是保护层的形成阻止了燃烧。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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. (她的团队曾用它制作砖块，这块砖在她房间放了10年没有任何分解迹象。)”可知，Huynh通过举例强调材料的耐用性。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“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. (然而，这种材料的规模化生产可能颇具挑战。“真菌生长不需要光照或电力，但如果要为建筑行业培育足够的量，就需要很大的空间，”Huynh说。“因为它们是生物有机体，也很容易被污染。”但Huynh提到，已有行业团体主动联系她的团队，或许能协助完成这一规模化生产过程。)”可知，Huynh对扩大生产谨慎乐观。故选D项。 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. 【答案】36. B 37. G 38. F 39. D 40.

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. (习惯为精通奠定基础。在国际象棋中，只有当棋子的基本走法变得自动时，棋手才能专注于比赛的下一阶段。每一个被记住的信息单元都为更费力的思考打开了心智空间)”通过国际象棋的类比阐述了习惯如何释放认知资源以追求更高层次。B选项“This is true for any attempt. (这对于任何尝试都是如此)”承接上文，指出上文所阐述的习惯释放认知资源的原理具有普遍适用性。下文“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. (当你对简单动作了如指掌，可以不假思索地完成时，你就能自由地关注更高级的细节)”则进一步具体描述这一状态。故选B项。 【37题详解】 上文“At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. (起初，每一次重复都能提升流畅度、速度和技巧)”描述了习惯养成的积极初期阶段。G选项“But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. (但随后，随着习惯变得自动，你对反馈的敏感度会降低)”通过“But then”与上文构成时间与逻辑上的转折，指出习惯自动化后的转变。下文“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. (你会陷入无意识的重复。更容易放任错误。当你能靠自动导航做得足够好时，你就会停止思考如何做得更好)”则具体描述了“对反馈敏感度降低”所导致的一系列消极后果。故选G项。 【38题详解】 上文“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. (习惯的好处是我们可以不假思索地做事。习惯的坏处是你习惯于某种方式做事，不再关注小错误)”总结了习惯的双刃剑特性。F选项“You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience. (你因为获得了经验，就以为自己正在变得更好)”承接上文，解释了为何人们会忽视错误、停止改进——因为他们错误地将经验的积累等同于能力的提升。下文“In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. (实际上，你只是在强化当前的习惯——而非改进它们)”则用“In reality”对上文的错误认知进行纠正，形成“错误认知—现实真相”的逻辑呼应。故选F项。 【39题详解】 下文“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. (要达到顶级表现，你需要精进的方法。你不能盲目重复相同的事情却期望变得卓越。你需要的是自动化习惯与刻意练习的结合。当一个习惯被掌握后，你必须回到需要付出努力的部分)”提出了超越习惯瓶颈、追求卓越的具体方法——习惯与刻意练习相结合。D选项“Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery. (习惯是必要的，但对于精通而言并不足够)”作为本段首句，精准概括了下文的核心观点：习惯是基础但非全部，从而引出下文对“刻意练习”这一补充要素的阐述。故选D项。 【40题详解】 上文“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. (旧任务第二次做会更容易，但整体上并不会变得更容易，因为现在你把精力投入到下一个挑战中。每个习惯都解锁了下一层级的性能)”描述了通过习惯释放认知资源、不断挑战新高度的动态过程。A选项“It’s an endless cycle. (这是一个无尽的循环)”承接上文，用“endless cycle”精准概括了上文所描述的“掌握旧习惯—释放资源—迎接新挑战”这一周而复始的进步模式，作为全文结尾，既总结了本段观点，也呼应了文章开篇对习惯与卓越关系的探讨。故选A项。 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!

This achievement marks another successful transition of a heritage project into the representative list. It’s also the first project ____57____ has been simultaneously (同时) transitioned and added to the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices. China now has 45 projects ____58____ (include) in UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage lists, the ____59____ (high) number of entries of any country in the world. The Hezhe people live in the Heilong-Songhua-Ussuri-river region of northeastern China. With ____60____ population of just over 5,000, they are among China’s smallest ethnic groups. Yimakan storytelling is a rich oral tradition that has been passed down through generations.

At its 19th session in December 2024, the committee reviewed and approved the report on the transfer that China ____65____ (submit) a year before, recognizing China’s efforts and encouraging ongoing practice and communication. 【答案】56. to 57. that 58. included 59. highest 60. a 61. and 62. values 63. being listed 64. visibility 65. had submitted 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是中国赫哲族的伊玛堪说唱成功从“急需保护的非物质文化遗产名录”转入“人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录”，并获得全球认可。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：周四，在新德里举行的保护非物质文化遗产政府间委员会第20届常会上，委员会决定将中国的“赫哲族伊玛堪说唱”从《急需保护的非物质文化遗产名录》转至《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》。from...to...是固定搭配，意为“从……到……”，故填to。 【57题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这也是首个同时完成转名录与列入《优秀保护实践名册》的项目。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词project是物，且被序数词the first修饰，因此用关系代词that引导定语从句，故填that。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：目前，中国共有45个项目列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录，数量居全球之首。根据语境可知，45 projects与include之间是被动关系，此处表示“中国共有45个项目列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录”，have sth. done意为“使某物被……”，因此空格处用过去分词included作宾语补足语，故填included。 【59题详解】 考查最高级。句意：目前，中国共有45个项目列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录，数量居全球之首。空前有定冠词the，空格处用最高级highest。故填highest。 【60题详解】 考查冠词。句意：人口仅五千余人，是中国人口最少的少数民族之一。population是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，空格处用不定冠词，population是辅音音素开头，因此空格处用不定冠词a，故填a。 【61题详解】 考查连词。句意：它以赫哲语讲述，融合故事与诗歌，传递赫哲族的民族历史、英雄事迹与道德观念。is told和combines之间是并列的谓语动词，且句子是肯定句，因此用and表并列，故填and。 【62题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：它以赫哲语讲述，融合故事与诗歌，传递赫哲族的民族历史、英雄事迹与道德价值观。value“价值”是可数名词，不止一个，因此用复数，故填values。 【63题详解】 考查动名词和被动语态。句意：自2011年被列入急需保护项目以来，伊玛堪说唱得到了社会各界的广泛支持，多方协作提升了其生命力与可见度。Since是介词，空格处用动名词作宾语，the tradition和list之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用动名词的被动语态being listed，故填being listed。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：自2011年被列入急需保护项目以来，伊玛堪说唱得到了社会各界的广泛支持，多方协作提升了其生命力与可见度。空格处用名词与vitality并列作宾语，visible的名词是visibility，是不可数名词，意为“可见度”，故填visibility。 【65题详解】 考查时态。句意：在2024年12月举行的第19届会议上，委员会审议并批准了中国一年前提交的转名录报告，肯定了中国的保护努力，并鼓励持续实践与交流。reviewed and approved是过去的动作，由a year before可知， submit这个动作发生在reviewed and approved之前，空格处时态是过去完成时，表示过去的过去之前完成的动作，故填had submitted。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 你在校英文报Talk and Talk栏目上看到一则留言： Everybody in my class has got some talent.

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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Jessica was surprised by John’s Jessica was surprised by John’s self-publishing suggestion. suggestion. It had never crossed her mind before. 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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了怀揣写作梦想的杰西卡（Jessica）多年致力于创作一本关于小镇篮球队闯入州决赛的励志书籍，却屡遭出版商拒绝，梦想似乎遥不可及。某日，她在常去的书店咖啡馆寻找灵感时，偶然结识了同为作家的老人约翰（John）。约翰了解到她的困境后，鼓励她不要因他人的否定而放弃，并建议她尝试自费出版，强调她的作品值得被更多人看到。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“杰西卡对约翰的自行出版提议感到惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写Jessica从对约翰自费出版建议的意外，到受其鼓舞后积极行动并最终成功出版书籍的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在她的签售会上，杰西卡看到约翰站在队伍的后面。”可知，第二段可描写Jessica在签售会上与恩人约翰重逢和感悟。 2.续写线索：约翰鼓励——杰西卡修改手稿——出版——书受到关注——杰西卡重遇约翰——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offer/provide ②完成：finalize/complete ③递：hand/pass 情绪类 ①热情地：warmly/fervidly ②高兴：delight/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] As she absorbed his words, a flicker of hope appeared in her eyes.
