However, due to environmental and ecological damage, the number of red-crowned cranes had been dangerously declining when Zhao Shiwei joined the Zhaoquan River Management Station in 1992. Artificial breeding of red-crowned cranes became an important part of Zhao’s work. 3 red-crowned crane birds hatched at the station through his artificial program in 1996. Despite tasting success, Zhao and his team encountered hardships the following year. In 1997, not a single red-crowned crane bird hatched. And in 1998, only one red-crowned crane chick hatched through artificial breeding, but it died soon after. In 1999, the station rescued 7 injured red-crowned cranes from the wild, which brought a crucial ray of hope for the program. That drove Zhao and his colleagues to check temperature control devices, go through a huge amount of data, and seek advice from experts, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in artificial breeding. They tried every possible method, even consulting technicians from nearby chicken farms. Finally, the artificial breeding program improved a lot. Later, a record of 85 red-crowned crane birds hatched at the station through a combination of artificial and natural breeding methods. Over the past 30 years, Zhao has always been personally involved in the hatching process. “This part is the most crucial; there cannot be the slightest error,” he said. Later, Zhao realized that with the number of artificially bred red-crowned cranes increasing, the bond between the cranes and humans was growing stronger. “But they are the spirits of nature and hence should return to nature.” Zhao said. Therefore, Zhao provided outdoor training to artificially bred red-crowned cranes in the reserve in order to increase the number of wild red-crowned cranes. Up to now, Zhao and his team have bred and released more than 200 red-crowned cranes after ensuring they will be able to survive in nature. 4．What does the author imply about the red-crowned cranes in the first two paragraphs? A．They’re at risk of going extinct. B．They top all other wildlife in value. C．Their artificial breeding started in 1992. D．Their number stopped declining in 1996. 5．What was the turning point in the artificial breeding program? A．Raising sufficient funds. B．Rescuing 7 wild cranes. C．Hiring some wildlife experts. D．Purchasing advanced devices. 6．Why did Zhao train cranes outdoors? A．To give tourists chances to admire cranes. B．To improve cranes’ survival skills in the wild. C．To increase the number of artificially-bred cranes. D．To strengthen the bond between cranes and humans. 7．What is Zhao Shiwei’s attitude towards his work of protecting red-crowned cranes over the 30 years? A．Reluctant and doubtful. B．Passionate and careful. C．Pessimistic and indifferent. D．Devoted and committed. C In a recent study of healthy volunteers, National Institutes of Health researchers discovered that our brains may replay memories of learning new skills when we rest. NIH researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new song on the piano, and found that during short rest the volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity seen while they practiced typing a code. The more a volunteer replayed the activity the better they performed during subsequent practice sessions. The study was conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. The team of Dr. Cohen, M.D．, senior investigator at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), used a highly sensitive scanning technique to record the brain waves of 33 healthy, right-handed volunteers as they learned to type a five-digit test code with their left hands. The subjects sat in a chair and under the scanner’s long, cone-shaped cap. An experiment began when a subject was shown the code “41234” on a screen and asked to type it out as many times as possible for 10 seconds and then take a 10 second break. Subjects were asked to repeat this cycle of alternating (交替的) practice and rest sessions a total of 35 times. During the first few trials, the speed at which subjects correctly typed the code improved dramatically and then leveled off around the 11th cycle. In a previous study, Dr. Cohen’s team showed that most of these gains happened during short rests, and not when the subjects were typing. Moreover, the gains were greater than those made after a night’s sleep and were related with a decrease in the size of brain waves, called beta rhythms. In this new report, the researchers searched for something different in the subjects’ brain waves. “We wanted to explore the mechanisms (机制) behind memory strengthening seen during wakeful rest. Several forms of memory appear to rely on the replaying of neural (神经的) activity, so we decided to test this idea out for procedural skill learning,” said Ethan R. Buch, Ph.D．, a staff scientist on Dr. Cohen’s team and leader of the study. To do this, Dr. Buch developed a computer program which allowed the team to understand the brain wave activity associated with typing each number in the test code. Interestingly, they found that the more a volunteer replayed, the better their performance was. “We were a bit surprised by these last results. Overall, our results support the idea that the replay activity during waking rest may be a powerful tool that researchers can use to help individuals learn new skills faster and possibly facilitate recovery from stroke.” said Dr. Cohen. 8．What have NIH researchers recently found? A．The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill. B．The value of short practice sessions can’t be overestimated. C．Short rest makes no difference to the neural replay of the activity. D．The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances. 9．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A．The process of the research. B．The facilities of the research. C．The application of the research. D．The preparations of the research. 10．Why did Dr. Buch develop a computer program? A．To distinguish the first 11 cycles from the later ones. B．To confirm the role of neural replay in skill learning. C．To explore the potential effects of procedural learning. D．To find out the reasons for the changes in brain waves. 11．What does Dr. Cohen think of the research findings? A．Acceptable. B．Promising. C．Shallow. D．Dismissive. D Approximately 4000 years following the last glacial period, hunter-gatherer communities encountered another sudden climate shift that forced rapid adaptation to significantly colder conditions. The 8.2 ka event, occurring 8200 years ago, brought about temperature declines of up to 6°C within mere decades. Meanwhile, the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain’s geographical separation from mainland Europe. Despite these severe environmental challenges, northern hemisphere (半球) populations demonstrated remarkable toughness. Through it all, people across the northern hemisphere survived, some by packing up and moving, others by sticking it out. Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes: “These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances.” While previous research had examined regional impacts, Schulting’s comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwestern Europe and southern Siberia. To understand how they adapted, scientists compared archaeological findings, such as burial sites and ancient remains, with environmental evidence preserved in ancient lake beds. This combination of clues allowed them to reconstruct past changes in climate and landscape with remarkable precision. Adaptation strategies varied significantly across regions. Coastal communities in Norway’s Oslofjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals, while Lake Baikal populations showed minimal disruption due to stable water-based supplies. In contrast, northwestern Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial patterns suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources, whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely, likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period. This ancient climate event provides crucial insights into human responses to environmental crises. As researchers emphasize, the 8.2 ka event serves as a critical case study for understanding how modern societies might address contemporary climate challenges, demonstrating that human adaptability remains essential for survival in changing environments. 12．What was one major geographical event during the 8.2 ka event? A．The formation of a new landmass. B．Scotland’s breaking off from Norway. C．A tsunami brought by temperature drop. D．Britain’s split from Continental Europe. 13．What was the overall research method of Schulting’s study? A．Analysis of archaeological findings. B．Cross-disciplinary data correlation. C．Computer-simulated climate modeling. D．Comparison with former research. 14．What do the varied adaptation strategies suggest? A．Strategies relied on resources. B．Coastal food became lacking. C．Water access boosted survival. D．Customs signaled survival advantage. 15．What is the best title for the text? A．Ancient Tsunami Isolated Britain B．Origins and Effects of the 8.2 Ka Event C．Stone-Age Diets Beating Climate Change D．Ancient Lessons for Modern Climate Crises 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。 Curiosity is often seen as the spark behind scientific breakthroughs and artistic masterpieces, but one of its most powerful uses is how we connect with others, which can also be life-changing. Here is a closer look at its benefits. 16 When someone asks you a thoughtful question about your life or takes the time to understand your perspective, which signals interest, you can feel valued and understood. 17 . They show that you care about what the other person has to say. By doing so, you are likely to create a positive feedback loop and more fondness from others. Generate curiosity Curiosity is infectious. 18 , start by being genuinely curious about theirs. This approach can have profound effects on how persuasive and influential we can be. A study found that when people feel heard and understood, they become more willing to explore different perspectives, helping create a bridge for mutual understanding and respect. Develop empathy 19 . When people approach social interactions with an open and inquiring mindset, they can improve their ability to empathize and also build stronger emotional connections. In other words, it helps individuals set aside assumptions, enabling more authentic and meaningful conversations.

He jumped out and proceeded to 28 the tire and everything else from the trunk, changed the tire himself and 29 everything after finishing. All were in record 30 and we were ready to continue with the drive. I felt really 31 and decided to pay him the 32 back by driving him the 20 km further. On the way I 33 he painted cars for a living, which was why he was so 34 with cars and so quick about the tire changing.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s edition. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people’s attention.” While leaving the newsroom together, we heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a red parrot (鹦鹉) and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity (团结) among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’ re a reporter for the school paper. I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry”. “This is just the story. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The background clock read 4:15 p.m. But our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 p.m Why would the boy take Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. “He’s not missing. He’s retired, ready for some quieter days,” he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 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。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语答案二 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B D C A B B D D A B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B D B A D A E C G F 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B A C C D A B D C A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 B B C D A 36．visitors 37．the 38．automatically 39．themselves 40．With 41．revealing 42．before 43．Inspired 44．to monitor 45．has been updating/has updated 46. Green Cycling Last Sunday, our school organized a cycling event along the Urban Greenway with the theme of “Green Cycling”. The activity started at the school gate, where students gathered with their bicycles, eager to embark on this eco-friendly journey. We cycled through the scenic Urban Greenway, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful views of nature. The event received an overwhelming response. Students expressed their enthusiasm, saying it was a refreshing break from academic stress and a great chance to promote a green lifestyle. They pledged to incorporate cycling into their daily routines to reduce carbon emissions. All in all, it was a meaningful and enjoyable experience. 47．One possible version: To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our paper’s reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.” Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years. On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the power to touch and connect. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $衡阳市第一中学2026届高考适应性测试（二模) 英语 满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1,答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。将条形码横贴在答题卡上“贴条形码区”。 2.作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂，黑；如需改动，用橡皮 擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案写在试题卷上无效。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动， 先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4.保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，只交答题卡，试题卷自行保存。 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 公 Just under the radar()fly many smaller Parisian museums that make space for the fantastic and the unexpected.

A.The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill. B.The value of short practice sessions can't be overestimated. C.Short rest makes no difference to the neural replay of the activity. D.The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances. 9.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A.The process of the research. 试卷第4页（共10页） B.The facilities of the research. C.The application of the research. D.The preparations of the research. 10.Why did Dr.Buch develop a computer program? A.To distinguish the first 11 cycles from the later ones. B.To confirm the role of neural replay in skill learning. C.To explore the potential effects of procedural learning. D.To find out the reasons for the changes in brain waves. 11.What does Dr.Cohen think of the research findings? A.Acceptable. B.Promising. C.Shallow. D.Dismissive. D Approximately 4000 years following the last glacial period,hunter-gatherer communities encountered another sudden climate shift that forced rapid adaptation to significantly colder conditions.The 8.2 ka event,occurring 8200 years ago,brought about temperature declines of up to 6C within mere decades.Meanwhile,the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain's geographical separation from mainland Europe. Despite these severe environmental challenges,northern hemisphere (populations demonstrated remarkable toughness.Through it all,people across the northern hemisphere survived,some by packing up and moving,others by sticking it out.Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes:"These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances." While previous research had examined regional impacts,Schulting's comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwestern Europe and southern Siberia.To understand how they adapted, scientists compared archaeological findings,such as burial sites and ancient remains,with environmental evidence preserved in ancient lake beds.This combination of clues allowed them to reconstruct past changes in climate and landscape with remarkable precision. Adaptation strategies varied significantly across regions.Coastal communities in Norway's Oslofjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals,while Lake Baikal populations showed minimal 试卷第5页（共10页） disruption due to stable water-based supplies.In contrast,northwestern Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial patterns suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources,whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely,likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period. This ancient climate event provides crucial insights into human responses to environmental crises.As researchers emphasize,the 8.2 ka event serves as a critical case study for understanding how modern societies might address contemporary climate challenges,demonstrating that human adaptability remains essential for survival in changing environments. 12.What was one major geographical event during the 8.2 ka event? A.The formation of a new landmass. B.Scotland's breaking off from Norway C.A tsunami brought by temperature drop. D.Britain's split from Continental Europe. 13.What was the overall research method of Schulting's study? A.Analysis of archaeological findings. B.Cross-disciplinary data correlation. C.Computer-simulated climate modeling. D.Comparison with former research. 14.What do the varied adaptation strategies suggest? A.Strategies relied on resources. B.Coastal food became lacking. C.Water access boosted survival. D.Customs signaled survival advantage. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.Ancient Tsunami Isolated Britain B.Origins and Effects of the 8.2 Ka Event C.Stone-Age Diets Beating Climate Change D.Ancient Lessons for Modern Climate Crises 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。 Curiosity is often seen as the spark behind scientific breakthroughs and artistic masterpieces,but one of its most powerful uses is how we connect with others,which can also be life-changing.Here is a closer look at its benefits. 16 When someone asks you a thoughtful question about your life or takes the time to understand your perspective,which signals interest,you can feel valued and understood.17.They show that you care about what the other person has 试卷第6页（共10页） to say.By doing so,you are likely to create a positive feedback loop and more fondness from others.

I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night."Sports stories are fun,"she said,"but not good enough for the front page.We need something to really get people's attention." While leaving the newsroom together,we heard someone screaming,"Perry is missing!"Perry was a red parrot and had been our school mascot for years.He played an important role in students'lives,both in and out of class.He had also been a constant presence at school events,inspiring a sense of unity (among students. 试卷第9页（共10页） Everyone gathered around Pery's empty cage,heartbroken.Suddenly,a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo."You're a reporter for the school paper.I happened to take this yesterday,"he said.In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. "He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!"Ashley cried.We hurried back to the newsroom. agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headlineDeerfield Stole Perry"."This is just the story.Everyone will read it,"Ashley said confidently. After she left,I took a closer look at the photo.The background clock read 4:15 p.m.But our game against Deerfield hadn't started until 4:30 p.m Why would the boy take Perry before we even played?An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry's caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing."He's not missing.He's retired,ready for some quieter days,"he said.Learning the truth,I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 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。 Tomy surprise,Ashley insisted on reporting the"Deerfield Stole Perry"story.
