His grandfather and father were doctors and the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor. He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals. Luckily, one of Darwin's university teachers helped him join the perfect trip for a biologist: a voyage around the world to study nature. The Beagle In 1831, Charles Darwin left Plymouth on The Beagle, a ship that took him around the world for five years. While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited. Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先). Down house At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels, but he didn’t want to make anything about his theory known to the public. He worked in his study, where he wrote 250,000 words about his theory of evolution (进化论), but he was frightened about what people might say about his idea that monkeys were the ancestors of humans. He thought the public would be against it and was so frightened that he became ill with worry. However; when another scientist started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species. Most scientists accepted Darwin's theory and people continue to study it today. On 12th February the day he was born, Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world. 26．Darwin came from a ________-children family. A．four B．five C．six D．seven 27．What caused Darwin to give up his study of medicine? A．He didn't like seeing blood. B．He found the studies too difficult. C．He was pushed to give up by his family. D．He was advised to study natural science. 28．Why was the trip on The Beagle important to Darwin? A．It helped him to finish his study at the university. B．It allowed him to change his mind about his fixture. C．It gave him ideas about the beginnings of human life. D．It got him to complete his most famous book on the ship. 29．In what order did the following happen in Darwin's life? a. He arrived back in Britain in 1836. b. He thought the public would not support his ideas. c. He became interested in studying the natural world. d. He printed his famous book, On the Origin of Species. e. He received help to get a place on a trip around the world. f. He studied the plants and animals on the islands he visited. A．e→f→c→a→b→d B．c→e→f→a→b→d C．e-→f→a→c→d→b D．c→e→f→d→a→b 30．Why did the writer include the last paragraph? A．To introduce Darwin's famous book. B．To tell how people celebrate Darwin Day. C．To explain why people accept Darwin's ideas. D．To show Darwin's influence on natural science. 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．C 29．B 30．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了达尔文早期的学习和旅行经历，讲述达尔文研究自然世界，并完成《物种起源》的经历。 【详解】 26．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Charles Darwin was one of the six children from a big family. (查尔斯·达尔文是一个大家庭的六个孩子之一。)”可知，达尔文来自一个有六个孩子的家庭。故选C。 27．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor. (然而，他讨厌看到血，他很快意识到他不能成为一名医生。)”可知，达尔文讨厌看到血，所以放弃了学医。故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先). (达尔文还花时间在‘小猎户号’上记录他所看到的事情。当他最终回到英国时，达尔文已经开始创造他著名的理论，即所有生物都有一个共同的祖先。)”可知，达尔文在“小猎户号”船上的旅行，让他开始创造他有名的理论，他认为所有的生物都有一个共同的祖先。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第一段中“he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals (他对研究植物、昆虫和动物很感兴趣)”可知，他对学习自然世界感兴趣；根据第一段中“one of Darwin's university teachers helped him join the perfect trip for a biologist: a voyage around the world to study nature (达尔文的一位大学老师帮助他参加了生物学家的完美之旅：环游世界，研究自然)”可知，他得到帮助可以去环球航行；根据第二段中“he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited (他研究了船所访问的国家和岛屿上的动植物)”可知，他在船经过的岛上研究植物和动物；根据第二段中“When he finally arrived back in Britain (当他终于回到英国时)”可知，他最终回到英国。根据第三段中“he was frightened about what people might say about his idea that monkeys were the ancestors of humans (他很害怕人们会对他关于猴子是人类祖先的观点说三道四)”可知，他认为大众不会支持他的想法。根据第三段中“Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species (达尔文决定出版他的书《物种起源》)”可知，他出版了他的书《物种起源》。因此正确的顺序是“c→e→f→a→b→d”。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world (世界各地庆祝达尔文日是为了鼓励更多的人研究自然世界)”可知，达尔文日是为了鼓励更多的人研究自然科学，由此可推断处，最后一段是为了展示达尔文在自然科学上的影响。故选D。就得组织一些社交活动。故选C。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 编写说明：本套【安徽专用】《同步单元AB卷》紧扣《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023版）教材，以教材单元为基准精准覆盖核心考点，并紧密贴合安徽省真题题型。A卷为考点梳理卷，侧重考点分层突破；B卷为单元测试卷，强化综合能力检测，助力师生高效把握区域教学重点，提升应试能力与知识应用水平。 本卷是Unit 8 Role Models of the Times的考点梳理卷，主要考查词汇、词组、句式句型和情景交际功能话题表达法。 Unit 8 Role Models of the Times B卷·单元测试卷 考试时间：40分钟 满分：60分 班级 姓名 学号 成绩 1、 选择填空1-15题（每小题2分，共30分） 1.We should set up good _______ for our children through our own behavior.

His grandfather and father were doctors and the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor. He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals. Luckily, one of Darwin's university teachers helped him join the perfect trip for a biologist: a voyage around the world to study nature. The Beagle In 1831, Charles Darwin left Plymouth on The Beagle, a ship that took him around the world for five years. While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited. Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先). Down house At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels, but he didn’t want to make anything about his theory known to the public. He worked in his study, where he wrote 250,000 words about his theory of evolution (进化论), but he was frightened about what people might say about his idea that monkeys were the ancestors of humans. He thought the public would be against it and was so frightened that he became ill with worry. However; when another scientist started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species. Most scientists accepted Darwin's theory and people continue to study it today. On 12th February the day he was born, Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world. 26．Darwin came from a ________-children family.
