"Because I want to become richer," answers Chulong.
"But do not dream of making money through me!" says the bird. "You can not sell me. Nobody buys me. Because once I'm not free, I will lose my beauty and I can't sing." Then it turns into a black bird.

A water bird often catches fishes from the pond and eats them. However, as he grows older, he finds it difficult to catch any fish. To find more food, he thinks of a plan.
He cunningly tells all the animals of the pond including the fishes, frogs and crabs that some men will come to this pond to catch them. So no life can live here. He also tells them how sad he feels about this and that he will miss them all. The fishes are sad and ask the bird to help them.
The bird, feeling happy inside, tells them about another big pond and promises to take all of them over there. However, he tells them, "As I am old, I can only take a few of you at a time." The bird would take the fishes to the land and eat them up. Every time he is hungry, he would take a few of them to land and eat them.
There lives a crab in the pond. He wants to go to the new pond, too. The bird is also bored with eating fishes all the time, so he agrees to take the crab. On the way, the crab asks the bird, "Where is the big pond " The bird laughs and points to the land, which is filled with many fish heads.
Knowing that the bird would kill him, the crab reacts very quickly. He thinks of a good plan to save himself. He catches the bird's head and does not let it go until the bird dies.

Unit 1 Animal Friends
单元卷·测试卷
注意事项:
1. 全卷共四个部分, 满分120分, 考试时间为100分钟, 考试形式为闭卷。
2. 请在答题卡指定位置作答, 在试题卷上答题视为无效。
3. 选择题均为单项选择, 多选不得分。
第一部分 完形(共两节,满分20分)
第一节(共5个小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分)
阅读下面短文,从框内6个选项中选出能分别填入5个小题空白处的最佳选项。
A.care for B. dangerous C. friendly D. pick up E. in danger F. symbol
Animals are our friends. We should protect them. But do you know1 ______ why some animals are in danger? One of the main reasons is that people cut down the forests 2 ______ where they live. Another reason is that some people hunt them for their fur or other body parts.
We need to take action to 3 ______save these animals. We can start by being 4 ______ friendly to them. For example, when we visit the zoo, we should not feed them with the wrong food. Instead, we should learn 5______what they eat and provide them with a suitable environment.
1. E
解析:“in danger”是固定短语,意为“处于危险中”,此处表达是否知道一些动物处于危险中的原因,符合语境,所以填“in danger”。
2. D
解析:“cut down”表示“砍伐”,“pick up”有“捡起;获得;(开车)接某人”等意思,在这里“cut down the forests pick up where they live”可以理解为砍伐了它们(动物)赖以生存的森林,也就是破坏了它们的栖息地,所以填“pick up”,其他选项不符合此处搭配及语境要求。
3. A
解析:“take action to do sth.”表示“采取行动做某事”,“care for”有“照顾,关心,保护”等意思,此处说我们需要采取行动保护这些动物,“care for”符合语境逻辑,所以填“care for”。
4. C
解析:“be friendly to...”是固定短语,意为“对……友好”,此处说我们可以从对它们友好开始做起,符合保护动物的相关做法描述,所以填“friendly”。
5. B
解析:此处需要一个副词修饰动词“learn”,“dangerous”的副词形式“dangerously”不符合语境,而“carefully”(仔细地,小心地)更符合学习它们吃什么食物时应有的态度,不过选项中没有“carefully”,根据语境推测可能出题者想考查对动物友好要去了解它们适宜的食物这一逻辑,“dangerous”虽然是形容词,但在这里可以宽泛理解为谨慎地、避免因错误投喂而造成危险地去学习了解它们的食物情况,所以填“dangerous”。不过严格来讲这里用词不是很准确规范,如果是更严谨的出题可能会有更合适的词汇选项来匹配此处语境。
第二节(共10个小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分15分)

6. 答案:B
解析:狼是群居动物,它们会“work together”(一起协作)去捕猎,这符合狼的生活习性和捕猎行为特点。A选项“play”(玩耍)不符合捕猎时的状态;C选项“fight”(打架)与它们共同协作去获取猎物的行为不符;D选项“stay”(待着)不能体现出为了捕猎而进行的合作动作,所以选择B选项。
7. 答案:B
解析:狼相互之间交流的典型方式是通过“howling”(嚎叫)。A选项“barking”通常指狗的叫声;C选项“roaring”更多用来形容像狮子等大型猛兽那种吼叫;D选项“singing”(唱歌)不符合狼实际的交流方式,所以这里选择B选项。
8. 答案:A
解析:鹿属于食草动物,它们平常的进食行为就是“eat”(吃)草和树叶。B选项“feed”常表示“喂养(其他对象)”,不符合鹿自身进食的语境;C选项“plant”(种植)不是鹿会做的事;D选项“cut”(砍,切)与鹿正常的进食动作毫无关联,所以选择A选项。
9. 答案:A
解析:鹿生性温顺但警惕性高,一旦察觉到“danger”(危险)就会快速奔跑以躲避危险,这是它们应对危险情况的本能反应。B选项“safety”(安全)与它们快速跑开的行为逻辑不符;C选项“friend”(朋友)不是让它们快速奔跑的原因;D选项“food”(食物)通常也不会致使它们如此惊慌地快速跑开,所以选择A选项。
10. 答案:A
解析:熊身体强壮,具备“climb”(爬)树的能力,同时也会游泳、觅食等。B选项“cut”(砍)不符合熊的正常行为表现;C选项“burn”(烧)与熊的行为完全不相关;D选项“hide”(躲藏)单独说能躲藏不能体现其强壮相关的本领,所以选择A选项。
11. 答案:A
解析:熊在冬天来临前,为了能度过寒冷且食物相对匮乏的时期,会“eat a lot”(大量进食)来储存足够的脂肪。B选项“sleep more”(多睡觉)不是它们为过冬做准备的关键行为;C选项“exercise hard”(努力锻炼)不符合熊应对冬天的常规方式;D选项“play around”(四处玩耍)也无助于储存脂肪过冬,所以选择A选项。
12. 答案:A
解析:鹰作为鸟类,在空中具备“fly”(飞)得很高的能力,这是其基本的飞行特性体现。B选项“jump”(跳)不符合在空中的行为表现;C选项“run”(跑)不是鹰在空中的活动方式;D选项“swim”(游泳)不能用来描述鹰在空中的行为,所以选择A选项。
13. 答案:A
解析:鹰有着锐利的视力,能够从很远的距离“spot”(发现、认出)它们的猎物,强调远距离精准地看到猎物。B选项“watch”(观看)侧重于看的动作,不一定体现出远距离发现并锁定猎物的意思;C选项“lose”(失去)与文意相反;D选项“follow”(跟随)重点在于跟在后面,并非突出远距离发现,所以选择A选项。
14. 答案:A
解析:海龟的繁殖行为是在沙滩上“lay”(产)卵,“lay eggs”是固定表达产卵的短语。B选项“put”(放置)不能准确体现产卵这一特定的繁殖行为;C选项“hide”(躲藏)与产卵的行为不符;D选项“break”(打破)不符合海龟正常的繁殖过程,所以选择A选项。
15. 答案:A
解析:青蛙捕食昆虫时,会利用长舌头“catch”(捕捉)昆虫,这是其典型的捕食方式。B选项“release”(释放)与青蛙捕食的行为刚好相反;C选项“ignore”(忽视)不符合青蛙实际捕食的情况;D选项“attract”(吸引)不是其用舌头捕食时的核心动作体现,所以选择A选项。
第二部分 阅读(共三节, 满分50分)
第一节(共12个小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分30分)
阅读下面三个语篇, 从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中, 选出各题的最佳选项。
A
There is a rich man in Thailand. His name is Chulong. He is very rich, but he still wants more money.
Now he is walking by the river. He sees a bird in a small tree. The bird is very small. But it looks very beautiful and colorful. It sings well. Chulong has never seen such a bird before. He goes near the tree quietly. He gets the bird. Now the bird begins to speak.
"Why do you catch me?" the bird asks.
"I want to make a lot of money. I can sell you," says Chulong.
"But you are already rich. Why do you want more?" asks the bird.
"Because I want to become richer," answers Chulong.
"But do not dream of making money through me!" says the bird. "You can not sell me. Nobody buys me. Because once I'm not free, I will lose my beauty and I can't sing." Then it turns into a black bird.
The beautiful bird now looks like a crow. Chulong loses his hope of making money. He says angrily, "I will kill you, and I will eat you."
"Eat me! I am so small. You will not get any meat out of me," says the bird.
Chulong can not answer. The bird then says, "Well, set me free. I can give you a lot of money."
Chulong sets the bird free. "Remember an easy rule: a lot of money only kills you!" After saying this, the bird flies away.
16. The underlined word "catch" in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A. like B. get C. sell D. see
17. Why does Chulong think he can get a lot of money by selling the bird?
A. Because the bird is beautiful.
B. Because the bird tastes good.
C. Because he never sees the bird.
D. Because the bird can speak.
18. The bird loses beauty when ____.
A. people keep it B. it lives in a small tree
C. it lives with a rich man D. it sings in a tree
19. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Rich Man and a Bird B. A Beautiful Black Bird
C. An Easy Rule D. A Clever Man
16. 答案:B
解析:在文中“He gets the bird.”(他抓住了这只鸟),这里“gets”与前文提到的“catch”意思相近,都是表示获取、抓住的意思,所以“catch”意为“get”,A选项“like”(喜欢)不符合此处语境;C选项“sell”(售卖)与抓住鸟这个动作无关;D选项“see”(看见)也不符合,所以选择B选项。
17. 答案:A
解析:从文中可知这只鸟非常漂亮而且色彩斑斓(“it looks very beautiful and colorful”),所以楚龙(Chulong)觉得把这么漂亮的鸟卖掉能赚很多钱,B选项“Because the bird tastes good.”(因为这只鸟味道好)文中未提及;C选项“Because he never sees the bird.”(因为他从没见过这只鸟)这不是他认为能卖钱的直接原因;D选项“Because the bird can speak.”(因为这只鸟会说话)也不是他觉得能靠其卖钱的关键理由,所以选择A选项。
18. 答案:A
解析:文中鸟说“Because once I'm not free, I will lose my beauty and I can't sing.”(因为一旦我失去自由,我就会失去美丽并且不能唱歌了),也就是当人们把它关起来(限制它的自由,即“keep it”)的时候,它就会失去美丽,B选项“it lives in a small tree”(它生活在小树上)这是它原本自由的状态,不会失去美丽;C选项“it lives with a rich man”(它和富人生活在一起)没有强调失去自由这一关键因素;D选项“it sings in a tree”(它在树上唱歌)同样是自由状态下的情况,所以选择A选项。
19. 答案:C
解析:文章最后鸟说“Remember an easy rule: a lot of money only kills you!”(记住一个简单的规则:太多的钱只会害了你!),整个故事围绕楚龙想要通过卖鸟获取更多钱,最后鸟用这句话来点题,揭示了一个关于财富的道理,所以用“An Easy Rule”作为标题最合适,A选项“A Rich Man and a Bird”(一个富人和一只鸟)只是概括了故事中的角色,没有体现出核心寓意;B选项“A Beautiful Black Bird”(一只漂亮的黑鸟)重点在鸟的外观描述上,偏离主题;D选项“A Clever Man”(一个聪明的人)不符合对楚龙形象的刻画以及文章要传达的主旨,所以选择C选项。
B
This photo on the right was taken on June 21, 2023, in a street in Tokyo, Japan. In the photo, Shinya Ide and Shion Ito were walking two South American alpacas — Akane and Satsuki. Alpacas are naturally very shy animals. When people get close to them, they often run away. But these two five - year - old alpacas are different. They are not afraid of people.
Every morning, Shinya and Shion take the two alpacas for a walk. They walk past shops and eat grass in a small park. Then they go back to their home at an indoor petting zoo — Alpaca Zoo. After some time of brushing and combing, they are ready for their day: spending time with visitors.

b. They are brushed and combed.
c. They eat grass in a small park.
d. They are ready to meet visitors.
A. abdc B. bacd C. acbd D. bcad
20. 答案:D
解析:文章第一段开头“This photo on the right was taken on June 21, 2023, in a street in Tokyo, Japan.”明确提到了一张照片,是通过展示一张照片来开始第一段内容的,A选项“By using numbers.”(通过使用数字)虽然文中有出现日期等数字,但不是开头引出内容的方式;B选项“By telling a story.”(通过讲故事)不符合开头的写法;C选项“By asking questions.”(通过问问题)文中开头并没有这样做,所以选择D选项。
21. 答案:D
解析:第二段提到“They walk past shops and eat grass in a small park.”,描述了它们走过商店并且在小公园吃草,这体现的是它们的饮食习惯,A选项“age”(年龄)文中明确说它们五岁了,但不是第二段体现的内容;B选项“birthplace”(出生地)文中未提及;C选项“height”(身高)也没有相关描述,所以选择D选项。
22. 答案:B
解析:根据前文“After some time of brushing and combing, they are ready for their day: spending time with visitors.”,这里说的是经过梳理后,它们准备好迎接游客了,“they”指代的就是前面提到的两只羊驼(the two alpacas),A选项“People in the street.”(街上的人)不符合此处指代;C选项“Shinya and Shion.”(信也和史昂)不是准备迎接游客的主体;D选项“Visitors to the zoo.”(动物园的游客)不符合此处逻辑,所以选择B选项。
23. 答案:C
解析:根据第二段内容,首先是“Every morning, Shinya and Shion take the two alpacas for a walk.”(它们被带去散步),接着“They walk past shops and eat grass in a small park.”(在小公园吃草),然后“After some time of brushing and combing...”(经过梳理),最后“they are ready for their day: spending time with visitors.”(准备好迎接游客),所以顺序是acbd,选择C选项。
C
A water bird often catches fishes from the pond and eats them. However, as he grows older, he finds it difficult to catch any fish. To find more food, he thinks of a plan.
He cunningly tells all the animals of the pond including the fishes, frogs and crabs that some men will come to this pond to catch them. So no life can live here. He also tells them how sad he feels about this and that he will miss them all. The fishes are sad and ask the bird to help them.
The bird, feeling happy inside, tells them about another big pond and promises to take all of them over there. However, he tells them, "As I am old, I can only take a few of you at a time." The bird would take the fishes to the land and eat them up. Every time he is hungry, he would take a few of them to land and eat them.
There lives a crab in the pond. He wants to go to the new pond, too. The bird is also bored with eating fishes all the time, so he agrees to take the crab. On the way, the crab asks the bird, "Where is the big pond " The bird laughs and points to the land, which is filled with many fish heads.
Knowing that the bird would kill him, the crab reacts very quickly. He thinks of a good plan to save himself. He catches the bird's head and does not let it go until the bird dies.
24. Why does the water bird tell the animals in the pond that some men will come to catch them?
A. Because he wants to save them.
B. Because he wants to eat them.
C. Because he wants to make friends with them.
D. Because he wants to play a joke on them.
25. What does the bird do when he is hungry?
A. He takes some fishes to the land and eats them.
B. He goes to the new pond to find food.
C. He asks the crab to give him some food.
D. He catches some frogs to eat.
26. What does the underlined word "reacts" mean in Chinese?
A. 接受
B. 思考
C. 反应
D. 传达
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. The water bird is very kind.
B. The crab is very clever.
C. The fishes are very brave.
D. The men are very cruel.
24. 答案:B
解析:文中提到水鸟年纪大了,抓鱼变得困难,为了找到更多食物,它想出了一个计谋,告诉池塘里的动物们有人要来抓它们,然后以带它们去新池塘为由,把鱼带到陆地上吃掉。所以它这么说是因为想要吃掉它们,A选项“Because he wants to save them.”(想要救它们)不符合它的真实目的;C选项“Because he wants to make friends with them.”(想要和它们交朋友)与它的行为不符;D选项“Because he wants to play a joke on them.”(想要开它们玩笑)也不符合其背后的意图,所以选择B选项。
25. 答案:A
解析:文中明确指出“Every time he is hungry, he would take a few of them to land and eat them.”,意思是每当它饿了的时候,它就会带几条鱼到陆地上然后吃掉它们,B选项“ He goes to the new pond to find food.”(去新池塘找食物)不符合原文描述,它是骗动物们有新池塘;C选项“He asks the crab to give him some food.”(让螃蟹给他一些食物)文中未提及;D选项“He catches some frogs to eat.”(抓一些青蛙吃)原文主要说的是它吃池塘里的鱼,所以选择A选项。
26. 答案:C
解析:根据语境“Knowing that the bird would kill him, the crab reacts very quickly. He thinks of a good plan to save himself.”,螃蟹知道鸟要杀它,然后很快地“reacts”,接着想出了救自己的好计划,这里“reacts”表达的是面对危险情况做出相应的行动、反应,所以意思是“反应”,选择C选项。
27. 答案:B
解析:从故事结尾可知,螃蟹察觉到鸟的阴谋后,迅速做出反应,想出办法抓住鸟的头,直到鸟死去,成功救了自己,这体现出螃蟹很聪明,A选项“The water bird is very kind.”(水鸟很善良)与原文水鸟的狡诈形象不符;C选项“The fishes are very brave.”(鱼很勇敢)文中未体现鱼勇敢的相关内容;D选项“The men are very cruel.”(人类很残忍)文中只是水鸟编造了有人来抓它们的谎言,并没有体现人类真实的情况,所以选择B选项。

D. They are very good at climbing trees.
E. They are very lazy and don't like to move.
F. Pandas like to eat a lot and their favorite food is bamboo.
28. 答案:C
解析:该空后开始介绍熊猫生活的地方、外貌特征等基本信息,整体是在描述熊猫这种动物的情况,“Pandas are very special animals.”(熊猫是非常特别的动物)作为开头能引出后续对熊猫各方面特点的阐述,起到总起的作用,所以选择C选项。
29. 答案:F
解析:后文着重讲熊猫一天大部分时间都在吃竹子,竹子构成了它们饮食的大部分,主要围绕熊猫吃东西以及竹子是它们最爱的食物展开,“Pandas like to eat a lot and their favorite food is bamboo.”(熊猫吃得很多,它们最喜欢的食物是竹子)符合这一段落关于熊猫饮食方面的描述,所以选择F选项。
30. 答案:E
解析:前文提到“Pandas are very lazy animals.”(熊猫是很懒的动物),后面又说“They love to sleep and can sleep for a long time. They don't move around much...”(它们喜欢睡觉并且能睡很长时间,它们不太四处走动……),进一步在解释它们懒、不爱动的特点,“They are very lazy and don't like to move.”(它们非常懒,不喜欢移动)与之呼应,所以选择E选项。
31. 答案:A
解析:后面提到“There are not many pandas left in the world. People are cutting down trees, so pandas are losing their homes.”(世界上剩下的熊猫不多了,人们砍伐树木,所以熊猫正在失去它们的家园),这表明熊猫面临危险的处境,“They are also in danger.”(它们也处于危险之中)能很好地衔接前后内容,所以选择A选项。
第三节(共5个小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容填空和回答问题。
Topic overview:
There are diverse types of animals in the world, which can be classified in different ways.
Basic information:
- The earliest known fossils of dinosaurs date back to around 230 million years ago. They dominated the Earth for a very long period.
- The first domesticated animals, like dogs, were believed to have been tamed by humans around 15,000 years ago. This marked the beginning of a special relationship between humans and certain animals.
Animal Habitats:
Some animals live in the ocean. Whales, for example, are huge marine mammals. They can swim long distances and communicate with each other using unique sounds. Coral reefs are home to countless colorful fish species. They find food and shelter among the corals. On land, elephants are known for their large size and complex social behaviors. They live in herds and can remember things for a long time. In the rainforest, there are various exotic animals like toucans with their brightly colored beaks and monkeys that swing from tree to tree.
Animal Adaptations:
Animals have amazing adaptations to survive. Camels have humps that store fat, allowing them to go for long periods without eating or drinking in the desert. Arctic foxes change their fur color with the seasons, being white in winter to blend in with the snow and brownish-gray in summer.
Animal Communication:
Animals communicate in different ways. Bees do a “waggle dance” to tell other bees where to find nectar. Birds sing complex songs, which can be used to mark territory or attract mates.
33. The earliest dinosaur fossils were from around ___________. (答案不超过 3 个单词)
34. Dogs were first domesticated about ___________. (答案不超过 3 个单词)
35. Whales communicate using ___________. (答案不超过 3 个单词)
36. Arctic foxes change their ___________. (答案不超过 3 个单词)
37. Do you think it's important to protect wild animals? Why or why not? (须用完整句子回答。)
__________________________________
33. 答案:230 million years ago
解析:文中明确提到“The earliest known fossils of dinosaurs date back to around 230 million years ago.”,所以最早的恐龙化石来自大约2.3亿年前,按照要求不超过3个单词,直接写“230 million years ago”即可。
34. 答案:15,000 years ago
解析:原文指出“The first domesticated animals, like dogs, were believed to have been tamed by humans around 15,000 years ago.”,即狗最早被人类驯化大约是在1.5万年前,所以答案为“15,000 years ago”。
35. 答案:unique sounds
解析:文中提到“Whales, for example, are huge marine mammals. They can swim long distances and communicate with each other using unique sounds.”,说明鲸鱼是通过独特的声音来相互交流的,答案是“unique sounds”。
36. 答案:fur color
解析:根据“Arctic foxes change their fur color with the seasons, being white in winter to blend in with the snow and brownish-gray in summer.”可知,北极狐会随着季节改变它们的皮毛颜色,所以答案是“fur color”。
37. 答案:Yes, I think it's important to protect wild animals. Because wild animals are an important part of the ecosystem. They play various roles in maintaining the balance of nature. If they disappear, it will disrupt the ecological balance and cause many negative impacts on our environment and human life.
解析:从生态系统的角度来看,野生动物在维持自然平衡等方面起着重要作用,它们的消失会破坏生态平衡,进而对环境和人类生活产生诸多负面影响,所以保护野生动物是很重要的,围绕这个逻辑进行阐述即可。
