Fight Right John and Julie Gottman’s Fight Right is a groundbreaking guide for couples tackling the complexities of relationships. The Gottmans, pioneers in couples therapy, share their decades of research on building and maintaining strong relationships. They distinguish between long-term and short-term conflicts, offering practical tips for addressing both. By emphasizing gentle communication, avoiding blame, and focusing on underlying needs, couples can transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection. The Art of the Interesting Lorraine Besser’s The Art of the Interesting challenges the conventional idea of the “good life” by advocating for psychological richness. Besser encourages readers to seek out novel and challenging experiences that engage the mind and awaken deep emotions. By tapping into our natural curiosity, planning less, and welcome challenges, we can enhance our sense of connection and agency. The Other Significant Others Rhaina Cohen’s The Other Significant Others explorers the power of deep, committed friendships as an alternative to traditional romantic partnerships. Cohen shares stories of people who have created close friendships that provide stability, community, and closeness. By challenging cultural norms that prioritize romantic relationships, this book highlights the importance of building loving friendships as a source of support and connection. Possible William Ury’s Possible provides hope and practical tools for resolving seemingly unbeatable conflicts. Drawing on his experience as a negotiator, Ury shares strategies for transforming conflicts into opportunities for cooperation. He emphasizes the importance of seeking underlying goals and interests rather than focusing on positions, listening without dehumanizing the “other side”, and engaging a wider community. 1.

Besser encourages readers to seek out novel and challenging experiences that engage the mind and awaken deep emotions. By tapping into our natural curiosity, planning less, and welcome challenges, we can enhance our sense of connection and agency. (Lorraine Besser’的《有趣的艺术》通过提倡心理上的丰富性，挑战了“美好生活”的传统观念。Besser 鼓励读者去寻找新颖的、具有挑战性的经历，这些经历能激发思想，唤醒深层情感。通过利用我们天生的好奇心，少做计划，欢迎挑战，我们可以增强我们的联系感和能动性。)”可知，Lorraine Besser强调了好奇心的珍贵。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Other Significant Others部分“Rhaina Cohen’s The Other Significant Others explorers the power of deep, committed friendships as an alternative to traditional romantic partnerships. Cohen shares stories of people who have created close friendships that provide stability, community, and closeness. By challenging cultural norms that prioritize romantic relationships, this book highlights the importance of building loving friendships as a source of support and connection.

That’s because of my school library. I fondly recall how my librarian, Ms. Klemas, remembered my name after only one visit. The school had thousands of students, and how did she already know my name? I wondered. I came to realize this small act was part of a larger philosophy she and her co-librarian used to shape the library. As I kept returning to the library, my conversations with Ms. Klemas went from book recommendations to advice on how I could shape my future. Ms. Klemas became the adult I trusted most in my school building, and the library was the place where I felt most comfortable. If you asked the students of Forest Hills High School what they thought of their library, they’d probably talk about the well-tailored selection of books or the “See yourself on the shelf” book display. They may or may not recall lessons they received on digital media literacy. They’ll, however, almost always mention how they felt in the library: welcomed. As a library volunteer in my senior year, I observed how students used the space to connect through crafts, games and conversations. Our librarians encouraged connection by hosting book clubs and oversized board games. A 2023 national survey found that only 55% of students felt close to people at their school, down from 62% in 2021, so efforts like these feel especially important now. After all, research has shown these connections are linked with improved mental health, grades and behavior. As a student, my school library made me feel I was part of a community of “library people”, Ms. Klemas’ term for those who frequent the library. I felt supported in knowing the library was there when I needed it. 4. How did the author feel about his name being remembered by Ms. Klemas? A. Regretful. B. Inspired. C. Surprised. D. Nervous. 5. What did Ms. Klemas do for the author at first? A. She recommended books. B. She arranged for a place to sit in. C. She gave tips on his future. D. She advised frequenting the library. 6. What can be inferred about the school library according to paragraph 4? A. It creates a platform to conduct studies. B. It exposes students to different cultures. C. It provides various online resources. D. It offers community-building activities. 7. What did the author get from the school library? A. A feeling of success. B. A sense of belonging. C. A huge fortune. D. A great job opportunity. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者高中时与学校图书馆及管理员的故事和自身收获。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I fondly recall how my librarian, Ms. Klemas, remembered my name after only one visit. The school had thousands of students, and how did she already know my name? I wondered. (我深情地回忆起图书管理员克莱马斯女士在我只去过一次图书馆后就记住了我的名字。这所学校有数千名学生，我很疑惑，她怎么就已经知道我的名字了呢？)”可知，学校学生众多，作者对克莱马斯女士记住自己名字这件事感到疑惑、惊讶。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As I kept returning to the library, my conversations with Ms. Klemas went from book recommendations to advice on how I could shape my future. (当我不断回到图书馆时，我和克莱马斯女士的谈话从图书推荐，逐渐变成了关于如何规划未来的建议)”可知，克莱马斯女士最初为作者做的事是推荐图书。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As a library volunteer in my senior year, I observed how students used the space to connect through crafts, games and conversations. Our librarians encouraged connection by hosting book clubs and oversized board games. (高三那年，我担任图书馆志愿者，看到学生们通过手工、游戏和聊天的方式在这个空间里建立联系。图书管理员们通过举办读书俱乐部活动和大型棋盘游戏活动来鼓励大家交流互动)”可知，学校图书馆会开展各类有助于学生建立联结的活动，也就是提供了社区建设类的活动。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As a student, my school library made me feel I was part of a community of ‘library people’, Ms. Klemas’ term for those who frequent the library. (作为一名学生，学校图书馆让我觉得自己是‘图书馆常客’这个群体中的一员，这是克莱马斯女士对经常去图书馆的人的称呼)”可知，作者从学校图书馆中获得了归属感。故选B项。 C A survey of nearly 5,500 plant communities across 119 regions has uncovered that in landscapes with heavy human pressure, typical habitats contain barely one-fifth of the species they could support. The international DarkDivNet team — whose members include the Biodiversity and Evolution Research Group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) — reached this conclusion by analyzing “dark diversity”, the pool of plant species that should live in a site but are absent. Unlike conventional field studies that only count the species currently present in an area, the DarkDivNet team, for every one-hectare plot, used climate, soil, and regional species pools to predict the full roster (花名册) of plants likely to live there under natural conditions. They compared this “potential community” with the species that actually grew on the ground. Since the DarkDivNet project was launched in 2018, research teams on every continent have followed a single protocol(协议) to ensure results are comparable. To rate human pressure, the scientists turned to the Human Footprint Index, a measure that integrates population density (密度), land-use change, and infrastructure like roads. Scores ranged from undisturbed wilderness to farmed or urbanized land. The results? Sites in low-footprint regions hold about one-third of their potential species and where the footprint was high, identified diversity declined to 20%. Modelling showed that roads, pollution, and land-use change depress diversity hundreds of kilometers away, even inside protected areas. According to the authors, the results are alarming because they show that human disturbance results in a much greater impact than initially thought, even reaching protected areas far from the source of human impact. “Fortunately, the negative influence of human activity was less pronounced when at least one third of a region’s area remained well preserved, which supports the global goal of protecting 30% of the surface of the planet,” the authors wrote. By documenting both visible and invisible losses, dark-diversity analysis reveals the full field of human influence — and highlights how much of the living world can return if true refuges (庇护处) are safeguarded across at least 30% of every region. 8. What can be learned about the DarkDivNet team’s study approach? A. It just depends on historical data. B. It avoids counting the present species. C. It centers on potential and actual species. D. It ignores existing regional plants. 9. What does the study imply about protected areas? A. Their resistance to threats improves. B. Distant human activities still harm them. C. Their biodiversity remains unaffected. D. Human disturbances seldom annoy them. 10. What conservation strategy does the study support? A. Banning the urban expansion. B. Reducing road construction. C. Controlling the global pollution. D. Protecting 30% of the planet’s surface. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Human Impacts on Plant Diversity B. New Tools for Species Counting C. Climate’s Role in Plant Survival D. Challenges in Conservation Efforts 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类活动对植物多样性的深远影响及保护建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike conventional field studies that only count the species currently present in an area, the DarkDivNet team, for every one-hectare plot, used climate, soil, and regional species pools to predict the full roster (花名册) of plants likely to live there under natural conditions. They compared this “potential community” with the species that actually grew on the ground.(与传统的实地研究只统计一个地区目前存在的物种不同，DarkDivNet团队对每一公顷的地块，利用气候、土壤和区域物种库来预测在自然条件下可能生活在那里的全部植物花名册。他们将这个“潜在群落”与实际生长在地面的物种进行了比较。)”可知，DarkDivNet团队的研究方法侧重于潜在和实际物种。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Modelling showed that roads, pollution, and land-use change depress diversity hundreds of kilometers away, even inside protected areas.(模型显示，道路、污染和土地利用变化会降低数百公里外的多样性，甚至在保护区内也是如此。)”可知，研究表明，即使是远离人类活动源头的保护区，也会受到人类活动的影响。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““Fortunately, the negative influence of human activity was less pronounced when at least one third of a region’s area remained well preserved, which supports the global goal of protecting 30% of the surface of the planet,” the authors wrote.(作者写道：“幸运的是，当一个地区至少三分之一的面积得到良好保护时，人类活动的负面影响就不那么明显了，这支持了保护地球表面30%的全球目标。”)”可知，该研究支持保护地球表面30%的区域的保护策略。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“A survey of nearly 5,500 plant communities across 119 regions has uncovered that in landscapes with heavy human pressure, typical habitats contain barely one-fifth of the species they could support. The international DarkDivNet team — whose members include the Biodiversity and Evolution Research Group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) — reached this conclusion by analyzing “dark diversity”, the pool of plant species that should live in a site but are absent.(一项对119个地区近5500个植物群落的调查发现，在人类压力大的景观中，典型栖息地的物种数量仅为其所能承载的五分之一。国际DarkDivNet团队——其成员包括巴斯克大学（UPV/EHU）的生物多样性与进化研究小组——通过分析“黑暗多样性”得出了这一结论。“黑暗多样性”指的是应该生活在某个地点但实际上却缺失的植物物种库。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人类活动对植物多样性的影响，以及保护生物多样性的重要性。因此，最佳标题为“Human Impacts on Plant Diversity(人类对植物多样性的影响)”。故选A。 D “Computer software to identify AI-generated text exists, but most programs share one weakness: no sense of style,” says Jun Jang, a 16-year-old junior at Oxford High School in Mississippi. His new software hopes to fill that gap. Jun says he often sees students admit using AI tools on classroom assignments. “But relying too much on these tools can be harmful,” Jun says, pointing to a 2025 study published in Societies. “I figured that by solving this issue, I could assist teachers as well as help kids become more creative and contribute more innovation.” Currently, most AI detectors look at one text by itself, and search for certain AI traits (特征) but don’t account for someone’s unique style of writing. Jun’s program instead analyzes a text known to have been written by a student without AI help. How? Schools already use browser-lockdown programs that block access to AI writing tools. A teacher could collect writing samples at the beginning of the school year when students are in this lockdown mode and “cannot cheat”. After that, the teacher can employ his new program to compare future work by the student with those early samples. Jun’s software then reviews the text from a known author for how that person used such things as punctuation and grammar. Did the writer regularly use long, complex sentences, simple ones or a mix of both? His software searches for such personal styles in someone’s writing. Then it looks for evidence of the same style traits in a second text. By carefully examining the two, it judges whether both share the same author. To test his model, he trained his model on some data, and then gave it a new set of data and asked it to identify whether the two documents came from the same author. Compared to author-verifying software on the market, Jun’s model was more veracious. He reports a 25% increase across the board”. If a student’s work gets flagged as AI-written, Jun’s model explains how the model arrived at that judgment. Teachers will understand how a model made its decision, therefore being able to talk to their students about those issues. 12. What is a feature of Jun’s software? A. It considers writers’ writing styles. B. It is poor at analyzing AI texts. C. It fails to search for certain Al traits. D. It can increase data processing speed. 13. How does Jun’s software detect AI-generated texts? A. By quoting a teacher. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By providing statistics. 14. What does the underlined word “veracious” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Creative. B. Accurate. C. Complex. D. Practical. 15. How can Jun’s software benefit teachers? A. Generate writing samples. B. Identify students’ emotions. C Simplify grading processes. D. Explain detection decisions. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍少年研发的新型AI文本检测软件及其检测原理和优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““Computer software to identify AI-generated text exists, but most programs share one weakness: no sense of style,” says Jun Jang, a 16-year-old junior at Oxford High School in Mississippi. His new software hopes to fill that gap. (密西西比州牛津高中16岁的高二学生张俊（音译）说：“现有的识别人工智能生成文本的软件大多有一个缺点：不具备风格识别能力。” 而他的新软件有望填补这一空白)”以及第三段中的“Currently, most AI detectors look at one text by itself, and search for certain AI traits (特征) but don’t account for someone’s unique style of writing. Jun’s program instead analyzes a text known to have been written by a student without AI help.(目前大多数人工智能检测器只查看一篇文章本身，并搜索某些人工智能特征不会考虑个人独特的写作风格，而张骏的程序会分析确定由学生独立完成的文本)”可知，张骏软件的特点是考虑作者的写作风格。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After that, the teacher can employ his new program to compare future work by the student with those early samples.(之后，老师可以利用这款新程序，将学生后续的作业和早期的样本进行对比)”可知，张骏的软件是通过对比的方式检测人工智能生成文本的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Compared to author-verifying software on the market, Jun’s model was more veracious. He reports a 25% increase across the board.(与市面上的作者验证软件相比，张骏的模型更加veracious，他称整体准确率提升了 25%)”可知，他的软件整体准确率提升了25%，即他的模型更加准确，因此veracious在此处的意思是“准确的”，与 accurate 同义。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If a student’s work gets flagged as AI-written, Jun’s model explains how the model arrived at that judgment. Teachers will understand how a model made its decision , therefore being able to talk to their students about those issues.(如果一份学生作业被标记为人工智能生成，张骏的模型会解释其判定依据，老师也能了解模型的判断逻辑，因此能够与学生讨论这些问题)”可知，这款软件能为老师解释检测的判定依据。故选D项。 第二节（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。 Ten years ago, Jake Freed ran out of gas and was stuck outside of Yuma, Arizona on a summer night. ___16___.

In my primary school years, I regarded exercise as a source of fun. As I entered my secondary school years, exercise started to be more than mere enjoyment. I started learning Muay Thai (泰拳) at a gym near my school. Exercising through Muay Thai became a way of relaxation. As I trained regularly, the hours spent kicking and punching (拳击) sandbags boosted my mood so that I would not experience anxiety and stress. A particular experience at the Muay Thai gym one day, however, made me realize how important exercise was to my life, going beyond fun and relaxation. It was nearing the exam season, and many students were rushing to absorb as much last-minute information as possible. I had not gone to the gym for two weeks by then, busy preparing for the exams. There was an air of tension and anxiety. I was particularly upset that my recent maths revision was not going well, as I was getting many questions wrong in the practice papers given out by my teacher. I started feeling that I was not improving, and that I was meant to fail. I poured my worries to my trainer on the phone and he joked he had a trick up his sleeves. So I decided to head to the gym. Despite starting off unsatisfactorily, my punches and kicks soon were on the right track. The moves of my kicks fueled me to be sharper and more precise in my techniques. Punching the sandbags was done accurately and swiftly as I maintained my power and form. Time flew, and an hour’s session felt like a mere 15 minutes. I was surprised to realize my frustration melted away once I put on my gloves. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 As I concluded the session, my trainer approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, stepping into the classroom, I pulled out the maths practice papers confidently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As I concluded the session, my trainer approached me. “I saw how you got off to a rocky start just now with your kicks and punches, but you worked your best as time went by. You know, exercising and maths aren’t that different. I saw that determination in you. Why don’t you apply it to maths?” At that moment, all my confusion and anxiety ceased. It dawned on me how the simple act of exercising translated all my uneasiness into lessons for growth and self-improvement. Feeling relieved, I walked out of the gym. The next day, stepping into the classroom, I pulled out the maths practice papers confidently. I took a deep breath, settled myself like putting on gloves and started to analyze the questions. Challenging as they still were, I was determined to tackle them, one at a time. Surprisingly, I figured out some of them, and this time I definitely punched maths in the face. I resolved that I needed to keep practicing the maths questions, stay focused and aim for accuracy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在父母的鼓励下从小就开始锻炼，中学时在学校附近的一家健身房学习泰拳，在考试季来临时作者忙着准备考试有两个星期没去健身房，但数学复习不太顺利，在作者向教练倾诉后他让作者来健身房，虽然训练时开始有点困难，但随着时间的流逝，作者发现自己一旦戴上手套沮丧就消失了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我结束训练时，我的教练走近我。”可知，第一段可描写教练鼓励作者将练拳的决心应用到数学上，作者有所感悟，如释重负地走出健身房。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我走进教室，自信地拿出数学练习卷。”可知，第二段可描写作者像练拳时一样静下心来解出了一些题目，决定继续保持专注。 2.续写线索：陪走路——帮助——感谢——陪回家——拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停止：cease/stop ②解决：tackle/solve ③计算出：figure out/work out 情绪类 ①困惑：confusion/puzzlement ②惊讶：surprisingly/astonishingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] It dawned on me how the simple act of exercising translated all my uneasiness into lessons for growth and self-improvement.（由it作形式主语，how引导主语从句） [高分句型2] Challenging as they still were, I was determined to tackle them, one at a time.（由as引导让步状语从句的倒装句） [高分句型3] I resolved that I needed to keep practicing the maths questions, stay focused and aim for accuracy.（由that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年高三12月质量检测卷 英 语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Fight Right John and Julie Gottman’s Fight Right is a groundbreaking guide for couples tackling the complexities of relationships. The Gottmans, pioneers in couples therapy, share their decades of research on building and maintaining strong relationships. They distinguish between long-term and short-term conflicts, offering practical tips for addressing both. By emphasizing gentle communication, avoiding blame, and focusing on underlying needs, couples can transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection. The Art of the Interesting Lorraine Besser’s The Art of the Interesting challenges the conventional idea of the “good life” by advocating for psychological richness. Besser encourages readers to seek out novel and challenging experiences that engage the mind and awaken deep emotions. By tapping into our natural curiosity, planning less, and welcome challenges, we can enhance our sense of connection and agency. The Other Significant Others Rhaina Cohen’s The Other Significant Others explorers the power of deep, committed friendships as an alternative to traditional romantic partnerships. Cohen shares stories of people who have created close friendships that provide stability, community, and closeness. By challenging cultural norms that prioritize romantic relationships, this book highlights the importance of building loving friendships as a source of support and connection. Possible William Ury’s Possible provides hope and practical tools for resolving seemingly unbeatable conflicts. Drawing on his experience as a negotiator, Ury shares strategies for transforming conflicts into opportunities for cooperation. He emphasizes the importance of seeking underlying goals and interests rather than focusing on positions, listening without dehumanizing the “other side”, and engaging a wider community. 1.

B A 12-foot square chess set and books wrapped for book exchanges — all these are what I think about when I recall my time at Forest Hills High School I graduated from last year. That’s because of my school library. I fondly recall how my librarian, Ms. Klemas, remembered my name after only one visit. The school had thousands of students, and how did she already know my name? I wondered. I came to realize this small act was part of a larger philosophy she and her co-librarian used to shape the library. As I kept returning to the library, my conversations with Ms. Klemas went from book recommendations to advice on how I could shape my future. Ms. Klemas became the adult I trusted most in my school building, and the library was the place where I felt most comfortable. If you asked the students of Forest Hills High School what they thought of their library, they’d probably talk about the well-tailored selection of books or the “See yourself on the shelf” book display. They may or may not recall lessons they received on digital media literacy. They’ll, however, almost always mention how they felt in the library: welcomed. As a library volunteer in my senior year, I observed how students used the space to connect through crafts, games and conversations. Our librarians encouraged connection by hosting book clubs and oversized board games. A 2023 national survey found that only 55% of students felt close to people at their school, down from 62% in 2021, so efforts like these feel especially important now. After all, research has shown these connections are linked with improved mental health, grades and behavior. As a student, my school library made me feel I was part of a community of “library people”, Ms. Klemas’ term for those who frequent the library. I felt supported in knowing the library was there when I needed it. 4. How did the author feel about his name being remembered by Ms. Klemas? A. Regretful. B. Inspired. C. Surprised. D. Nervous. 5. What did Ms. Klemas do for the author at first? A. She recommended books. B. She arranged for a place to sit in. C. She gave tips on his future. D. She advised frequenting the library. 6. What can be inferred about the school library according to paragraph 4? A. It creates a platform to conduct studies. B. It exposes students to different cultures. C. It provides various online resources. D It offers community-building activities. 7. What did the author get from the school library? A. A feeling of success. B. A sense of belonging. C. A huge fortune. D. A great job opportunity. C A survey of nearly 5,500 plant communities across 119 regions has uncovered that in landscapes with heavy human pressure, typical habitats contain barely one-fifth of the species they could support. The international DarkDivNet team — whose members include the Biodiversity and Evolution Research Group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) — reached this conclusion by analyzing “dark diversity”, the pool of plant species that should live in a site but are absent. Unlike conventional field studies that only count the species currently present in an area, the DarkDivNet team, for every one-hectare plot, used climate, soil, and regional species pools to predict the full roster (花名册) of plants likely to live there under natural conditions. They compared this “potential community” with the species that actually grew on the ground. Since the DarkDivNet project was launched in 2018, research teams on every continent have followed a single protocol(协议) to ensure results are comparable. To rate human pressure, the scientists turned to the Human Footprint Index, a measure that integrates population density (密度), land-use change, and infrastructure like roads. Scores ranged from undisturbed wilderness to farmed or urbanized land. The results? Sites in low-footprint regions hold about one-third of their potential species and where the footprint was high, identified diversity declined to 20%. Modelling showed that roads, pollution, and land-use change depress diversity hundreds of kilometers away, even inside protected areas. According to the authors, the results are alarming because they show that human disturbance results in a much greater impact than initially thought, even reaching protected areas far from the source of human impact. “Fortunately, the negative influence of human activity was less pronounced when at least one third of a region’s area remained well preserved, which supports the global goal of protecting 30% of the surface of the planet,” the authors wrote. By documenting both visible and invisible losses, dark-diversity analysis reveals the full field of human influence — and highlights how much of the living world can return if true refuges (庇护处) are safeguarded across at least 30% of every region. 8. What can be learned about the DarkDivNet team’s study approach? A. It just depends on historical data. B. It avoids counting the present species. C. It centers on potential and actual species. D. It ignores existing regional plants. 9. What does the study imply about protected areas? A. Their resistance to threats improves. B. Distant human activities still harm them. C. Their biodiversity remains unaffected. D. Human disturbances seldom annoy them. 10. What conservation strategy does the study support? A. Banning the urban expansion. B. Reducing road construction. C. Controlling the global pollution. D. Protecting 30% of the planet’s surface. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Human Impacts on Plant Diversity B. New Tools for Species Counting C. Climate’s Role in Plant Survival D. Challenges in Conservation Efforts D “Computer software to identify AI-generated text exists, but most programs share one weakness: no sense of style,” says Jun Jang, a 16-year-old junior at Oxford High School in Mississippi. His new software hopes to fill that gap. Jun says he often sees students admit using AI tools on classroom assignments. “But relying too much on these tools can be harmful,” Jun says, pointing to a 2025 study published in Societies. “I figured that by solving this issue, I could assist teachers as well as help kids become more creative and contribute more innovation.” Currently, most AI detectors look at one text by itself, and search for certain AI traits (特征) but don’t account for someone’s unique style of writing. Jun’s program instead analyzes a text known to have been written by a student without AI help. How? Schools already use browser-lockdown programs that block access to AI writing tools. A teacher could collect writing samples at the beginning of the school year when students are in this lockdown mode and “cannot cheat”. After that, the teacher can employ his new program to compare future work by the student with those early samples. Jun’s software then reviews the text from a known author for how that person used such things as punctuation and grammar. Did the writer regularly use long, complex sentences, simple ones or a mix of both? His software searches for such personal styles in someone’s writing. Then it looks for evidence of the same style traits in a second text. By carefully examining the two, it judges whether both share the same author. To test his model, he trained his model on some data, and then gave it a new set of data and asked it to identify whether the two documents came from the same author. Compared to author-verifying software on the market, Jun’s model was more veracious. He reports a 25% increase across the board”. If a student’s work gets flagged as AI-written, Jun’s model explains how the model arrived at that judgment. Teachers will understand how a model made its decision, therefore being able to talk to their students about those issues. 12. What is a feature of Jun’s software? A. It considers writers’ writing styles. B. It is poor at analyzing AI texts. C. It fails to search for certain Al traits. D. It can increase data processing speed. 13 How does Jun’s software detect AI-generated texts? A. By quoting a teacher. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By providing statistics. 14. What does the underlined word “veracious” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Creative. B. Accurate. C. Complex. D. Practical. 15. How can Jun’s software benefit teachers? A. Generate writing samples. B. Identify students’ emotions. C. Simplify grading processes. D. Explain detection decisions. 第二节（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。 Ten years ago, Jake Freed ran out of gas and was stuck outside of Yuma, Arizona on a summer night. ___16___.

In my primary school years, I regarded exercise as a source of fun. As I entered my secondary school years, exercise started to be more than mere enjoyment. I started learning Muay Thai (泰拳) at a gym near my school. Exercising through Muay Thai became a way of relaxation. As I trained regularly, the hours spent kicking and punching (拳击) sandbags boosted my mood so that I would not experience anxiety and stress. A particular experience at the Muay Thai gym one day, however, made me realize how important exercise was to my life, going beyond fun and relaxation. It was nearing the exam season, and many students were rushing to absorb as much last-minute information as possible. I had not gone to the gym for two weeks by then, busy preparing for the exams. There was an air of tension and anxiety. I was particularly upset that my recent maths revision was not going well, as I was getting many questions wrong in the practice papers given out by my teacher. I started feeling that I was not improving, and that I was meant to fail. I poured my worries to my trainer on the phone and he joked he had a trick up his sleeves. So I decided to head to the gym. Despite starting off unsatisfactorily, my punches and kicks soon were on the right track. The moves of my kicks fueled me to be sharper and more precise in my techniques. Punching the sandbags was done accurately and swiftly as I maintained my power and form. Time flew, and an hour’s session felt like a mere 15 minutes. I was surprised to realize my frustration melted away once I put on my gloves. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 As I concluded the session, my trainer approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, stepping into the classroom, I pulled out the maths practice papers confidently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
