S. Fortunately, several practical solutions have significantly reduced such accidents. Green Bridges These bridges are built over highways and covered with soil, grass, and native plants. They’re especially useful for large animals such as deer and bears, which generally prefer wide, open spaces. Beyond saving individual animals, green bridges also help ensure species survival. On Washington’s I-90, a major east-west highway, animals trying to move north-south are trapped between the highway and the Columbia River. This causes a risk of “localized extinction”. The overpasses reconnect these separated populations, allowing them to find each other and maintain healthy genetic diversity. Safe Underpasses These undercrossings run beneath roads and are often better for smaller or shyer animals. Black bears, for example, often prefer these darker, more covered passages. Even fish can use them when streams or wetlands are connected. On I-90, underpasses connecting wetlands to the Yakima River have allowed threatened bull trout (鳟鱼) to return to tributaries (支流) they hadn’t used in years. In this way, undercrossings not only help animals cross roads safely, but also reconnect waterways and habitats that were once blocked. Guiding Fences Fences are another key part of wildlife-crossing systems. In Wyoming, for example, fences direct migrating antelope toward overpasses instead of allowing them to step directly onto the highway. In Banff National Park, fences work together with crossings to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by up to 80 percent. Without fences, animals might still try to cross dangerous roads at the wrong places. 21. What problem can the green bridges on Washington’s I-90 solve for animals? A. Food shortage. B. Wrong direction. C. Loss of diversity. D. River separation. 22. How do underpasses help fish species at risk? A. By keeping threats away. B. By creating darker passages. C. By providing new habitats. D. By linking separated waterways. 23. What is the role of the fences in the wildlife-crossing system? A. Routes to open spaces. B. Guides to safe crossings. C. Barriers to animal migration. D. Borders to national parks. B I was one of the men who couldn’t stop talking. Aware that the world feels unbearably loud, aware that I, too, often add to that noise, I decided to learn to keep my mouth shut. I often felt urged to point out others’ stupidity in their posts, as though I alone had noticed it. I posted commentary about Hamlet, as though my followers were desperate for my “original” takes. My social media timeline was full of such attempts to appear intelligent. So I removed all past posts and shared only writing links. At first I felt annoyed and anxious, but the feelings soon faded into embarrassment over my past actions. Talking less in real life proved tougher. If I encountered someone I sort of knew, I’d talk quickly to fill the silence. A friend told me embracing awkward silences builds trust between conversational partners. She advised me to let silence breathe. Suffering awkward silences was terrible at first, and is still hard now, but it’s gotten a little better with practice. Another problem of mine was conversational narcissism. When people open up about their problems, responses like “Wow, that happened to me once!” turn the conversation away from understanding. This shift response is biologically rewarding for the speaker, but uncomfortable for the listener. Now I follow the rule — when possible, say nothing and simply listen. True active listening demands full attention and comprehension — not the performative nods, mirrored questions and practiced body language. Though exhausting, I consciously practice during every conversation. Not talking at work proved easier. After analyzing how often and how long I spoke in meetings, I found I talked and interrupted too much. Now I apply Wait, which requires posing a question to yourself before speaking: “Why am I talking?” You can talk if the answer to Wait is convincing. Wait isn’t about silence, but about questioning whether you’re actually contributing or filling space. Now I never regret not posting. My urge to talk has decreased, the desire to interrupt has lessened, and my capacity to listen has grown. And the rest is silence. 24. Why did the author feel embarrassed about his past social media posts? A. He tried to impress others. B. He corrected others’ errors. C. He knew little about Hamlet. D. He overshared his private life. 25. What does the underlined phrase “conversational narcissism” mean in paragraph 4? A. Topic avoidance. B. Self-centered talk. C. Emotion-sharing. D. Constant interruption. 26. How did the author change his over-talking habit at work? A. By shortening responses. B. By reducing interruptions. C. By using the Wait method. D. By filling awkward silences. 27. What could be the suitable title of the passage? A. The Power of Listening Well. B. The Courage to Break Silence. C. The Wisdom of Saying Less. D. The Secret to Better Speaking. C Recently, a well-known US coffee chain’s new “Coffeehouse Code of Conduct” is making people buy something or leave, changing its previous laid-back attitude. Meanwhile, in Paris, traditional cafés are competing with trendy coffee shops, with locals complaining that American-style takeaway coffee is ruining the French tradition of taking their time. This has raised an important question: What are coffee shops really for? The answer has always been more than coffee. Seventeenth-century coffee houses offered a meeting space for revolutions. They were also, historically, a shelter. As French writer Beauvoir wrote, “During World War II, we spent whole days in the Café de Flore through the freezing winter and always had a shock of pleasure, emerging from the cold darkness, coming into this warm, bright place. We felt at home, safe.” That gets to the heart of what good cafés are: third places, the term coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg to describe spaces that are neither home nor work. These neutral spaces are also accessible and inclusive, allowing visitors to keep a low profile and providing room for conversation and playfulness. I cherish such places — at various points in my life, department stores, museums, and stations have been vital third places to me, even if not all fit the “playful” criterion. However, many third places are disappearing due to economic difficulties. The Internet has become our third space but it can’t be everything a third place is: safety when home isn’t a shelter and a breath of air for anyone who just needs to be elsewhere. There is an amazing third place near me, York Community Stadium Complex, where there is a pool, a sports hall and a climbing wall, plus a library, a café and a drop-in support centre for people with cancer. Mostly, though, it’s a space to hang out unbothered, used by people of all ages. It’s welcoming, accessible, and, yes, even playful. With many shops closed in the UK, why not turn them into community centres, repair cafés, or meeting spots? It would be nice to chat about it somewhere — maybe over coffee, maybe not. 28. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Coffee cultures are conflicting. B. French traditions are weakening. C. Takeaway habits are spreading. D. Café rules are becoming stricter. 29. Why does the author quote Beauvoir’s words? A. To recall wartime memories. B. To share a writer’s experience. C. To contrast cold with warmth. D. To show cafés’ comforting role. 30. Which could be a third place according to the passage? A. A school lecture hall. B. A city square. C. An office meeting room. D. A private online group. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards creating new third places? A. Pessimistic. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. D A team of researchers from the University of Exeter and UCL conducted an experiment to compare the creative effects of writing stories without AI assistance with those using generative AI tools. Researchers tasked 300 participants to write an eight-sentence story for young adults. They were assigned to three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use a generative AI tool to provide a single three-sentence starting idea and third-group writers could choose from up to five AI-generated ideas for their inspiration. 600 people were invited to assess the stories’ novelty — whether the story did something new — and usefulness — how well the story engaged the target audience and whether it had potential for publication. The researchers found writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for usefulness compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI-generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable and less boring. The writers’ inherent (固有的) creativity was also evaluated by a Divergent Association Task. Interestingly, more creative writers benefited least from generative AI ideas. By contrast, less creative writers saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. These improvements effectively equalized creativity across the less and more creative writers. The researchers also used an API to calculate how similar the stories were and found a 10.7% increase in similarity between writers whose stories used one AI-inspired idea, compared with the no-AI group. Oliver Hauser, Professor at the University of Exeter Business School, said, “Our results provide insight into how generative AI affects human creativity.” However, he cautioned, “If generative AI is widely adopted for creative tasks, individual stories may become more creative while collective novelty will be further reduced.” 32. How were the 300 participants divided in the study? A. By writing experience and skills. B. By their scores on a creativity test. C. By the quality of stories they wrote. D. By the number of AI ideas available. 33. What effect did AI have on the stories? A. It increased novelty and usefulness. B. It added more ideas and details. C. It improved enjoyment over quality. D. It expanded length and complexity. 34. Why was the participants’ inherent creativity measured? A. To test AI’s reliability. B. To evaluate the story quality. C. To compare their AI gains. D. To assess the generated ideas. 35. What did Hauser say about the use of AI in creative writing? A. It highlights AI’s creative potential. B. It benefits less creative writers most. C. It boosts individuals but reduces diversity. D. It enhances readability but harms creativity. 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。 People often think procrastination (拖延) is simply laziness or poor time management. Imagine this: You sit down to write an essay, stare at a blank page, and begin to think, “I’m not good enough for this. I don’t know where to begin. What if I fail?” Instead of writing, you open a social media app. This behavior is not laziness; it’s a way to regulate the anxiety around the task. 36 When we procrastinate, we are aware not only that we are avoiding the task, but also that doing so is probably a bad idea. Yet we do it anyway. Why? Because putting off the task gives us momentary relief from negative feelings, such as panic and self-doubt. 37 It makes us more likely to procrastinate the next time. 38 Although avoiding the task makes us feel better for a moment, it does not solve the real problem. When we return to the task, the same feelings are waiting, often with more stress and self-blame. As this pattern repeats itself, procrastination gradually becomes a habit rather than a one-time choice. Over time, the habit has measurably destructive effects on our mental and physical health. 39 It may also increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in the long run. What are healthy ways to manage the emotions that typically lead to procrastination? One way is to view the task from a positive perspective. Think about the good result of completing it, or remind yourself of a similar task that turned out well. 40 For example, delete distracting apps from your phone or use a long, difficult password. By making the easy escape less immediate, you give yourself a better chance to begin. A. That relief, however, is only short-lived. B. This pattern may involve different feelings. C. Our brain treats that brief relief as a reward. D. The task seems less pleasant for the moment. E. It fuels persistent stress, anxiety, and even depression. F. So procrastination is often about emotional management. G. Additionally, making distractions less convenient can be effective. 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。 At 21, I was living in a new city and feeling a bit lost in life.

My strong feeling of 51 with something I thought I had lost forever came through in the music. I think the guards actually teared up a bit. “That is your flute,” they said, seeming quite awed. The guards made an 52 and let me take it home. I experienced two acts of 53 that day — first from the stranger who returned my flute, then from the guards who bent the rules for me.

For years pretending everything was fine had become my way of surviving. I had struggled with depression for much of my adult life. Whenever I felt anxious, disappointed or overwhelmed, I chose silence. I rarely shared my feelings with anyone, believing that keeping them to myself would protect the people I loved. Instead, my silence slowly pushed them away. My wife often complained that I never told her what was wrong. My children thought I had lost interest in family life. Even close friends found it difficult to understand me. The less I spoke, the more misunderstood I became. One evening, after I had once again refused to join a family gathering, my friend Mark came to see me and suggested something completely unexpected. “Why don’t you try a stand-up comedy (单口喜剧) class for beginners?” I laughed. “Me? I can barely hold an ordinary conversation.” “I’m serious,” he replied. “You don’t need to become funny. Just stop hiding.” His words stayed with me for days. The idea sounded ridiculous (荒谬的). I imagined standing in front of strangers trying to make them laugh. Yet another part of me wondered whether Mark had seen something I couldn’t see myself. A week later, I found myself sitting quietly in Andre’s class. Instead of teaching us jokes, Andre encouraged us to tell a simple story about ourselves. One by one, people spoke honestly about embarrassing mistakes, painful memories and everyday struggles. Strangely, every story ended with laughter, as if sharing the pain had made it lighter. I just sat there, letting every opportunity pass. Over the following weeks, as I listened to more and more of these stories, I discovered that however dark the material, there’s always a humorous angle. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请在答题卡上按照以下格式作答。 By the third week, when Andre’s eyes landed on me, I knew there was nowhere left to hide. Gradually, those changes began to reach beyond the comedy class. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $巴中市普通高中2024级“零诊”考试 英语试题参考答案及评分意见 第一部分听力（满分30分） 1-5ABCAB 6-10 CCBAB 11-15 CACBA 16-20 BCBCA 评分标准：1一20小题，每小题1.5分 第二部分阅读理解（满分50分） 第一节（满分37.5分） 21-25 CDBAB 26-30 CCADB 31-35 BDACC 评分标准：21一35小题，每小题2.5分 第二节（满分12.5分） 36-40 FCAEG 评分标准：36一40小题，每小题2.5分 第三部分语言知识运用（满分30分） 第一节完形填空（满分15分） 41-45ABCDA 46-50 CDDAB 51-55 BACBC 评分标准：41一55小题，每小题1分. 第二节语法填空（满分15分） 56.a 57.has taken/has been taking 58.introducing 59.experiences 60.steadily 61.shared 62.to make 63.where 64.fo1 65.sustainable 评分标准：56一65小题，每小题1.5分.有任何错误，包括用词错误、单词拼写错误（含大小写）或 语法形式错误，均不给分 第四部分写作（满分40分） 第一节应用文写作（满分15分） (一)评分标准 档次 分值 具体描述 第五档 1315 内容表达完整，语言基本无误，行文连贯，表达清楚 第四档 10~12 内容表达比较完整，语言有少量错误，行文基本连贯，表达基本清楚 第三档 79 只写出了部分要点，语言有一些错误，尚能表达， 第二档 46 内容遗漏较多，语言错误很多，影响表达 第一档 03 只能写出与要求内容有关的一些单词或个别句子 英语参考答案 (二)内容要点认定及计分参考标准 1.单元主题及主要学习版块（阐述清楚、表达正确，计8分） 2.学习收获（阐述清楚、表达正确，计7分） (三)参考范文（略） 第二节读后续写（满分25分） (一）评分标准 档次 描述 创造了丰富、合理的内容，富有逻辑性，续写完整，与原文情境融洽度高； 第五档 使用了多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有个别小错，但完全不影响理解；有效地使用 (2125) 了语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，意义连贯 创造了比较丰富、合理的内容，比较有逻辑性，续写比较完整，与原文情境融洽度较高： 第四档 使用了较为多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有些许错误，但不影响理解；比较有效地 (16-20) 使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构比较清晰，意义比较连贯。 创造了基本丰富、合理的内容，有一定的逻辑性，续写基本完整，与原文情境基本相关 第三档 使用了简单的词汇和语法结构，可能有些许错误或不恰当之处，个别部分影响理解： (11~15) 基本有效使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构基本清晰，意义基本连贯： 内容或逻辑上有一些重大问题，续写不够完整，与原文情境有一定程度脱节；所使用的词汇 第二档 有限，语法结构单调，错误较多，影响理解； (6～10) 未能有效使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义不够连贯 内容或逻辑上有较多重大问题，或有部分内容抄自原文，续写不完整，与原文情境基本脱节； 第一档 所使用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误很多，严重影响理解； (1-5) 几乎没有使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯， 未作答；所写内容太少或无法看清以致无法评判：所写内容全部抄自原文或与题目要求完 零分 全不相关 (二)参考范文（略） 英语参考答案 巴中市普通高中2024级“零诊”考试英语试题听力部分 第一节 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。 (Text 1) M:I don't see why it has to be me.Jack has been with us for a year.I mean,it'd be easier for him to go and work in the new branch.He's younger than me.
