This tiny animal isn’t a bird, but it flies through the night sky using skin flaps between its legs, making it the most graceful glider in the animal kingdom. Can you imagine seeing a furry squirrel-like creature soaring silently between trees? Scientists have discovered a fascinating connection between sugar gliders and humans. They’re the most efficient seed dispersers for eucalyptus trees—trees that provide the strongest natural medicine humans use against colds. Sadly, these forests are shrinking at the fastest rate in history due to logging. This is why protecting sugar gliders matters. They’re not just cute animals; they’re guardians of the most important forest ecosystem. Without them, eucalyptus seeds wouldn’t travel far, and soon we’d lose the most valuable natural pharmacy on Earth. Last year, I joined a youth project planting “glider highways”—trees connecting isolated forests. Seeing a glider reclaim its path was the proudest moment of my life. Now I understand the true importance of tiny creatures. Sugar gliders teach us that the smallest beings often hold the greatest power to keep nature balanced. After all, aren’t humans and forests the closest partners in survival? 23．What makes sugar gliders unique? A．They produce eucalyptus medicine. B．They can glide between trees. C．They are the largest forest animals. 24．Why is protecting sugar gliders crucial? A．They maintain vital seed dispersal. B．They are the fastest growing species. C．They prevent forest logging. 25．What does “importance” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Medical value of eucalyptus trees. B．Role of small creatures in ecosystems. C．Need for youth conservation projects. 26．What is the main purpose of “glider highways”? A．To help humans travel through forests. B．To study animal flight patterns. C．To connect fragmented habitats. C Guiding the way:A guide dog training center turns dog puppies into kind helpers 世界导盲犬日：导盲犬是如何“炼成”的？ Xu Jian is a visually impaired (视力受损的) woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong. For the past seven years, Xu’s guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for daily activities. Guide dogs mean a lot to visually impaired people. Every year, on the last Wednesday of April, we celebrate International Guide Dog Day. This year, it was on April 24. Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a professor at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China. According to Wang Xin, a trainer who has been working at the center since 2010, 90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors, which are kind and smart. Once trainers find good guide dog puppies, the dogs need to take personality (性格) tests. A good guide dog should not be too curious (好奇的), excitable, or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work, according to Wang. One volunteer, surnamed Sun, has raised four puppies since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs,” said Sun. She strictly follows the center’s guidelines (指导方针) for their care, including controlled feeding and teaching the dogs to refuse food when necessary. She also guides them along raised paths (道路) made for visually impaired people so they can feel them and know they are safe. However, even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added. Typically, guide dogs serve for six to 10 years. Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers. By MENG WENJIE, 21st Century 27．What do we know about the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian? A．Its services cover many areas. B．Wang Jingyu left his job to set it up. C．It trains homeless dogs to be guide dogs. 28．What should a guide dog be like? A．Curious. B．Calm. C．Excitable. 29．What will a guide dog become when they are old? A．A server. B．A volunteer. C．A pet. 30．What do we know from the passage? A．There is only one dog training center in China. B．It takes trainers six to 10 years to train a guide dog. C．An excellent guide dog may not get the job in the end. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，每个选项仅适用一次。 Rice is a very common kind of food in life.

The little animal’s mother was killed by a car. These girls took the baby sloth to Judy, the owner of a hotel. Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup. After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded (受伤的) sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths. Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws (爪子). There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees. But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and hurt themselves. Some sloths live near human beings and they sometimes are hit by cars or killed by dogs. 56．Why did Judy call the zoo? 57．Where do the sloths live? 58．Can the sloths run very fast? 59．What is the main problem for sloths? 60．What should we learn from the last paragraph? 第二节 （共1小题；满分15分） 根据要求完成写作 61. 一片天真憨态奇，腹中藏竹不藏机；人言国宝殊堪贵，黑白分明有亦稀。熊猫已然成为全世界最受欢迎的动物之一。作为一名青少年，请你从以下几方面来介绍我们的国宝，并呼吁周边的人一起珍惜爱护大熊猫。80词左右。 参考词汇：自然保护区 nature reserve Giant pandas are the national treasure of our country. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Jim, what are your favorite animals?

The little animal’s mother was killed by a car. These girls took the baby sloth to Judy, the owner of a hotel. Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup. After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded (受伤的) sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths. Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws (爪子). There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees. But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and hurt themselves. Some sloths live near human beings and they sometimes are hit by cars or killed by dogs. 56．Why did Judy call the zoo? 57．Where do the sloths live? 58．Can the sloths run very fast? 59．What is the main problem for sloths? 60．What should we learn from the last paragraph? 第二节 （共1小题；满分15分） 根据要求完成写作 61. 一片天真憨态奇，腹中藏竹不藏机；人言国宝殊堪贵，黑白分明有亦稀。熊猫已然成为全世界最受欢迎的动物之一。作为一名青少年，请你从以下几方面来介绍我们的国宝，并呼吁周边的人一起珍惜爱护大熊猫。80词左右。 参考词汇：自然保护区 nature reserve Giant pandas are the national treasure of our country. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 参考答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 1—5 ACBCB 6—10 CBACC 11—15 AABCA 16—20 BCAAB 第二部分 阅读(共三节，满分30 分) 第一节 (共10 小题，每小题2 分，满分20分) 21—22 BB 23—26 BABC 27—30 ABCC 第二节(共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分) 31—35 CEADB 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分25 分) 第一节 (共10 小题，每小题1.5分，满分15 分) 36．A 37．C 38．C 39．B 40．B 41．A 42．A 43．B 44．C 45．B 第二节 (共10 小题，每小题1 分，满分10 分) 46．African 47．difference 48．smaller 49．to cool 50．on 51．weighs 52．eating 53．Their 54．But 55．the 第四部分 读写综合 (共两节，满分25 分) 第一节 (共5小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分) 56．Because she didn’t know how to look after the sloth. 57．Sloths live in the forests of Central America and South America. 58．No, they can’t. 59．The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. 60．We should stop cutting down trees and reduce human threats. 第一节 写作 (共1小题，每小题15 分，满分15分) Giant pandas are the national treasure of our country. They look very lovely with black and white fur. They are fat and have four strong paws. They usually live in bamboo forests and mainly feed on bamboo. However, the cute animals are in danger now. It’s difficult for pandas to have babies, and many baby pandas die when they are very young. What’s worse, the bamboo forests are getting smaller now. As a result, pandas are becoming fewer and fewer. In order to give enough food and living places to pandas, we should set up more nature reserves with lots of bamboo. We should give them more care in their daily life. Anyway, let’s work hard to protect pandas together. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级上册英语单元测试（湖南长沙卷专用） Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals 注意事项： 1、答题前，请考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，并认真核对条形码上的姓名、准考证号、考室和座位号； 2、必须在答题卡上答题，在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效； 3、答题时，请考生注意各大题题号后面的答题提示； 4、请勿折叠答题卡，保持字体工整、笔迹清晰、卡面清洁; 5、答题卡上不得使用涂改液、涂改胶和贴纸； 6、本学科试卷中听力材料以中速朗读两遍。 试卷分为四部分，共8页，61小题，时量100分钟，满分100分。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 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秒钟时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．Which animals does Jim like best?

This tiny animal isn’t a bird, but it flies through the night sky using skin flaps between its legs, making it the most graceful glider in the animal kingdom. Can you imagine seeing a furry squirrel-like creature soaring silently between trees? Scientists have discovered a fascinating connection between sugar gliders and humans. They’re the most efficient seed dispersers for eucalyptus trees—trees that provide the strongest natural medicine humans use against colds. Sadly, these forests are shrinking at the fastest rate in history due to logging. This is why protecting sugar gliders matters. They’re not just cute animals; they’re guardians of the most important forest ecosystem. Without them, eucalyptus seeds wouldn’t travel far, and soon we’d lose the most valuable natural pharmacy on Earth. Last year, I joined a youth project planting “glider highways”—trees connecting isolated forests. Seeing a glider reclaim its path was the proudest moment of my life. Now I understand the true importance of tiny creatures. Sugar gliders teach us that the smallest beings often hold the greatest power to keep nature balanced. After all, aren’t humans and forests the closest partners in survival? 23．What makes sugar gliders unique? A．They produce eucalyptus medicine. B．They can glide between trees. C．They are the largest forest animals. 24．Why is protecting sugar gliders crucial? A．They maintain vital seed dispersal. B．They are the fastest growing species. C．They prevent forest logging. 25．What does “importance” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Medical value of eucalyptus trees. B．Role of small creatures in ecosystems. C．Need for youth conservation projects. 26．What is the main purpose of “glider highways”? A．To help humans travel through forests. B．To study animal flight patterns. C．To connect fragmented habitats. 【答案】23．B 24．A 25．B 26．C 【导语】本文介绍蜜袋鼯的生态价值，阐述保护该物种对人类和森林的重要性。 23．细节理解题。根据首段“...but it flies through the night sky using skin flaps between its legs, making it the most graceful glider in the animal kingdom.”可知，蜜袋鼯具有独特的滑翔能力，能在树木之间滑翔。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“Without them, eucalyptus seeds wouldn’t travel far, and soon we’d lose the most valuable natural pharmacy on Earth.”可知，蜜袋鼯能够传播桉树的种子，故保护核心在于其传播种子的生态功能，故选A。 25．词句猜测题。根据末段“Sugar gliders teach us that the smallest beings often hold the greatest power to keep nature balanced.”可知，此处指的是小生物的生态价值，故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, I joined a youth project planting ‘glider highways’—trees connecting isolated forests.”可知，该项目的目的是连接破碎化栖息地，故选C。 C Guiding the way:A guide dog training center turns dog puppies into kind helpers 世界导盲犬日：导盲犬是如何“炼成”的？ Xu Jian is a visually impaired (视力受损的) woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong. For the past seven years, Xu’s guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for daily activities. Guide dogs mean a lot to visually impaired people. Every year, on the last Wednesday of April, we celebrate International Guide Dog Day. This year, it was on April 24. Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a professor at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China. According to Wang Xin, a trainer who has been working at the center since 2010, 90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors, which are kind and smart. Once trainers find good guide dog puppies, the dogs need to take personality (性格) tests. A good guide dog should not be too curious (好奇的), excitable, or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work, according to Wang. One volunteer, surnamed Sun, has raised four puppies since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs,” said Sun. She strictly follows the center’s guidelines (指导方针) for their care, including controlled feeding and teaching the dogs to refuse food when necessary. She also guides them along raised paths (道路) made for visually impaired people so they can feel them and know they are safe. However, even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added. Typically, guide dogs serve for six to 10 years. Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers. By MENG WENJIE, 21st Century 27．What do we know about the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian? A．Its services cover many areas. B．Wang Jingyu left his job to set it up. C．It trains homeless dogs to be guide dogs. 28．What should a guide dog be like? A．Curious. B．Calm. C．Excitable. 29．What will a guide dog become when they are old? A．A server. B．A volunteer. C．A pet. 30．What do we know from the passage? A．There is only one dog training center in China. B．It takes trainers six to 10 years to train a guide dog. C．An excellent guide dog may not get the job in the end. 【答案】27．A 28．B 29．C 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，本文介绍了深圳视力受损者徐建与导盲犬代梦的故事，引出大连中国导盲犬训练中心的成立背景、导盲犬品种、训练要求、服役年限及退役后去向等信息。 27．细节理解题。根据“Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China.”可知，该中心训练的导盲犬服务范围覆盖27个省市，服务范围广泛。故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据“A good guide dog should not be too curious, excitable, or shy”可知，导盲犬应避免好奇、易激动或害羞的性格，可推断其应具备冷静的特质。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据“Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers...”可知，年老的导盲犬通常会被当作宠物收养。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据“even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog”可知，即使通过所有测试，若不喜欢导盲犬的工作，仍可能被拒绝。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，每个选项仅适用一次。 Rice is a very common kind of food in life. Lots of people in Asia, Africa and South America eat it every day. Some people eat almost nothing but rice. Rice is a kind of plant. 31 Some kinds are planted in South China. Where it came from Farmers now grow rice in many countries. But no one really knows where it first came from. 32 According to some books, people began to grow rice in China about 10,000 years ago. 33 Rice can grow in dry soil (土壤), but most rice grows in wet soil. People in many countries use their hands to do all of the work of growing rice. This is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. 34 What people use it to do 35 It can be used to make animal feed and rice oil.

People in many countries use their hands to do all of the work of growing rice.”可知，此处是在介绍水稻的种植方式，A选项“人们如何种植它”能准确概括这部分内容，作为小标题合适。故选A。 34．根据“People in many countries use their hands to do all of the work of growing rice.”可知此处介绍种植水稻的方式，D选项“在一些国家，人们现在在稻田里使用机器”，与前文用手种植形成对比，补充了现在种植水稻方式的多样性，使内容更完整。故选D。 35．根据“It can be used to make animal feed and rice oil. People make other useful things such as baskets, shoes and roofs for their houses from it. Also, they burn dry rice plants in fires for cooking.”可知，此处在介绍水稻植株的各个部分都能被利用，B选项“人们使用水稻植株的每一部分”能够很好地概括这部分关于水稻用途的内容，作为小标题恰当。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分25分） 第一节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last Saturday, I went to the beach with my family.

The little animal’s mother was killed by a car. These girls took the baby sloth to Judy, the owner of a hotel. Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup. After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded (受伤的) sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths. Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws (爪子). There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees. But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and hurt themselves. Some sloths live near human beings and they sometimes are hit by cars or killed by dogs. 56．Why did Judy call the zoo? 57．Where do the sloths live? 58．Can the sloths run very fast? 59．What is the main problem for sloths? 60．What should we learn from the last paragraph? 【答案】56．Because she didn’t know how to look after the sloth. 57．Sloths live in the forests of Central America and South America. 58．No, they can’t. 59．The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. 60．We should stop cutting down trees and reduce human threats. 【导语】本文由Judy救助树懒的经历引出了树懒及其生存现状。 56．根据文章第1段“Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo.”可知，Judy想帮忙，但她不知道如何照顾树懒，于是她给动物园打了电话。故填Because she didn’t know how to look after the sloth. 57．根据文章第3段“Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America.”可知，树懒生活在中美洲的森林里，我们在南美洲也能看到它们。故填Sloths live in the forests of Central America and South America. 58．根据文章第4段“But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals.”可知，树懒是一种行动缓慢且安静的动物。故填No, they can’t. 59．根据文章第4段“The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller.”可知，栖息地减少是树懒生存的最大威胁。故填The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. 60．根据文章第4段“human beings cause a lot of problems...sloths are hit by cars or killed by dogs”可知，人类导致了许多问题，树懒的栖息地减少，当树木被砍伐时，树懒会从树上跌落并受伤。有些树懒有时会被汽车撞到或被狗杀死。可推知，我们应该停止砍伐树木并减少人为伤害。故填We should stop cutting down trees and reduce human threats. 第二节 （共1小题；满分15分） 根据要求完成写作 61. 一片天真憨态奇，腹中藏竹不藏机；人言国宝殊堪贵，黑白分明有亦稀。熊猫已然成为全世界最受欢迎的动物之一。作为一名青少年，请你从以下几方面来介绍我们的国宝，并呼吁周边的人一起珍惜爱护大熊猫。80词左右。 参考词汇：自然保护区 nature reserve Giant pandas are the national treasure of our country. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Giant pandas are the national treasure of our country. They look very lovely with black and white fur. They are fat and have four strong paws. They usually live in bamboo forests and mainly feed on bamboo. However, the cute animals are in danger now. It’s difficult for pandas to have babies, and many baby pandas die when they are very young. What’s worse, the bamboo forests are getting smaller now. As a result, pandas are becoming fewer and fewer. In order to give enough food and living places to pandas, we should set up more nature reserves with lots of bamboo. We should give them more care in their daily life. Anyway, let’s work hard to protect pandas together. 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生应注意不要遗漏信息，可适当发挥。 [写作步骤] 第一步，描述熊猫外表，生活区域以及食性； 第二步，指出熊猫面临的危险； 第三步，介绍保护熊猫的措施，并呼吁大家一起参与进来。 [亮点词汇] ①feed on以……为食 ②in danger在危险中 ③what’s worse更糟糕的是 ④as a result结果是，因此 ⑤in order to do sth.为了做某事 ⑥set up建立 [高分句型] ①It’s difficult for pandas to have babies, and many baby pandas die when they are very young.（it固定句型；含and的并列句；when引导的时间状语从句） ②…let’s work hard to protect pandas together.（祈使句） 1 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
