1 2 第14课时　八年级(下) Unit 7 建议用时:30分钟 3 一、完形填空 People often think of the North Pole and the South pole as 　1　 as frozen wastelands. They are 　2　 places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. 　3　, the North and the South Pole are not so similar as people may imagine.  一 题序 二 4 The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures 　4　 go above 32℉, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below 0℃. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30℉. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to 　5　 the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Matthew Henson, were able to get to this environment 　6　 of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on April 6th, 1909. It was really a 　7　 trip for them.  一 题序 二 5 There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. 　8　 people can live in such a difficult place.  People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be 　9　 and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice 　10　 into two opening lanes of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.  一 题序 二 6 1.A.different B.similar C.same D.hard 2.A.both B.neither C.all D.some 3.A.But B.Though C.Therefore D.However 4.A.always B.never C.seldom D.often 5.A.get B.reach C.arrive D.go 6.A.filled B.packed C.kind D.full 7.A.hard B.happy C.easy D.relaxing 8.A.Many B.Little C.Few D.Much 9.A.thin B.thick C.soft D.slim 10.A.cuts B.breaks C.falls D.turns 一 题序 二 7 二、阅读理解 A 阅读下面短文,从1~3各题所给的四个选项(A B C D)中,选出最佳选项。 Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. It reaches a height of 8,848.86 meters. Millions of years ago, two parts of the earth’s crust(地壳) hit each other. And over time, the pressure of the two parts caused the ground to rise above the sea. And that’s how Qomolangma was born. 一 题序 二 8 Although Qomolangma is beautiful, the conditions on the mountain are very bad. The average temperature is about-29℃. Even in July, the warmest month, the temperature only reaches about-19℃. It never gets above 0℃. As a result, the ice and the snow at the top of the mountain are always there. The conditions on Qomolangma make it hard for animals to live. One of the only animals that can live on the mountain is the yak(牦牛). This large animal can weigh 305 to 1,000 kilograms and grow to about 1.6 to 2.2 meters tall. The animal’s blood can take in more oxygen(氧气) than the blood of other animals. That’s very important because there’s little oxygen in the air on Qomolangma. 一 题序 二 9 In spite of(尽管) the hard conditions on the mountain—the freezing temperature, strong winds, and changing weather, people from around the world continued to come to Qomolangma, hoping to be the first to make it to the top. No one was successful until 1953 when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first men to successfully get to the top of the mountain. Since then, many climbers from all over the world have risked their lives to get to the top of Qomolangma. 一 题序 二 10 ( ) 1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A.The future of Qomolangma.　　　　　　　　　 B.The height of Qomolangma. C.The plants of Qomolangma.　　　　　　　　　 D.The temperature of Qomolangma. ( ) 2.【新考法·写作手法】How does the writer tell us the hard conditions on Qomolangma? A.By telling some stories. B.By answering many questions. C.By giving some numbers. D.By listing reasons. B C 一 题序 二 11 ( ) 3.Why are yaks able to live on Qomolangma according to the passage? A.Because of their food. B.Because of their blood. C.Because of their height. D.Because of their habits. B 一 题序 二 12 B 阅读下面短文,然后判断短文后面4~7小题,正确的答案写“T”,错误的答案写“F”。 The Sahara is the largest desert in the world. It has one of the most terrible environments on the earth. It covers an area of about 9,320,000 square kilometers. This is nearly the whole size of the United States. 一 题序 二 13 The huge desert spans(横跨) 11 countries. So it has many different land features(地貌特征). The most famous and beautiful one is the golden sand dune fields(沙丘地). Other land features include mountains, plateaus(高原) and so on. Some of the mountains have snow in winter. Thousands of years ago, the Sahara was not a desert at all. There were many plants and rivers. As the weather changed, it became hot and dry. Although the natural conditions are terrible, there are many plants and animals like snakes, foxes and birds living there. In some places, people grow fruit. Plants can grow there because their roots(根) can reach deep underground to get water. 一 题序 二 14 More than 2,500,000 people live in the Sahara. Some of them move around from place to place with their camels. Others live in towns and cities. Camels are known as the “ships of the desert”. They can travel more than a week without water or food in the desert. The desert is not always hot. The temperature changes a lot in a day in the Sahara. And the sunshine is strong there. So people have to prepare well if they plan to visit it. 一 题序 二 15 ( )4.The Sahara is 9 times larger than the United States in area. ( ) 5.Thousands of years ago, the Sahara was not a desert at all. ( ) 6.There are no living things in the Sahara because of the bad natural conditions. ( ) 7.The main idea of the passage is about how to travel in the Sahara.
