Gracefully, like a dragon in flight (翩若惊鸿，婉若游龙),” Cao wrote. The two-minute dance was filmed in 26 hours. Dancer He Haohao is a former synchronized swimmer (花样游泳运动员).

B．Benefits of Music to Children C．Make Good Use of Music D．Differences Between Children and Adults C How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason for this. Scientists are studying something between music and remembering a foreign language (外语), like English. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future study in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词). Not only does it work, but it is fun for children.” “Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Hua Zhuying adds. Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 21．Why does the writer ask questions in Paragraph 1? A．To tell a story. B．To give an example. C．To interest readers. D．To answer questions. 22．What’s the underlined word “catchy” probably mean? A．Easy to remember. B．Fast to read. C．Slow to follow. D．Hard to understand. 23．What do we know about Hua Zhuying? A．She is an English and music teacher in China. B．She teaches Chinese in English language school in Washington DC． C．She teaches little children Chinese lyrics with English songs. D．She spoke English much better when she was young. 24．What can we learn from the text? A．Learning foreign languages can open the door for future. B．It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music. C．Teachers should have some special ways to teach students. D．Music helps when we have problems in singing foreign songs. 25．What’s the best title of this text? A．The importance of music B．The songs about teaching English C．Study music and a foreign language D．Learning foreign languages in music D Benefits of Music 26 Research has shown that playing music lowers your blood pressure, reduces stress and anxiety levels. Most importantly, we can enjoy playing music even at an old age, and it’s a social activity that keeps our minds active. This is especially important in protecting ourselves from mind-related diseases such as Alzheimer disease (阿尔茨海默病). 27 Many studies show how learning music can enhance (加强) the mind when you pick it up at an early age. But what if we have already passed early age? It turns out that learning music at an older age can do wonders for your mind as well. In a study at the University of South Florida, adults aged between 60 and 85 were given piano lessons. Six months later, they exhibited improved memory, verbal fluency, information processing skills, and other cognitive (认知的) functions. 28 Learning music gives you opportunities to put yourself in that situation and, more importantly, to pull through them! The audience does not have to be massive; you could be performing for just one person or partner. But when you pull off a performance, you will feel a whole lot better about yourself. And the best thing is, you will bring that confidence into other areas of your life. 29 Music is a universal (普遍的) language. Think of how many of us can appreciate songs in languages we don’t speak or barely understand. You will be surprised at how music can bring you closer to people, especially if you need to socialize with people from other cultures. If you ever find yourself lacking a topic to talk about, ask the other person what his/her favourite song is, and if you are knowledgeable in music, you’ve got yourself a great conversation. 30 Musicians often play with other musicians. And when they do, it is important to always listen to your teammates and watch their facial and body language. Only then can you decide how you want to play your instrument to blend in seamlessly (无漏洞地) with the song. This ability to listen to what everyone is saying and find a good solution translates to other areas in your life and makes you a great team player. A．Music Makes You a Team Player B．Music Builds Your Confidence C．Music Does Wonders for Your Health D．Music Makes People Happy E．Music Connects Yourself Better F．Music Makes You Pretty Smart 三、选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 根据短文内容，用方框中所给的词填空，使短文意思完整、连贯。（每个单词限用一次，有两个多余的单词） example, completely, spent, bought, languages, after, popular, places, before, took, excited, pay Have you ever read Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone?

It was translated (被译成) more than thirty-five 38 . After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three 39 on many newspapers’ lists of the most popular books. Without any question, Rowling’s life 40 changed. And she became one of the most famous women writers in the world. 四、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Answer questions in COMPLETE sentences. For a long time people had wondered how life had developed on earth. The Bible stated that God had created everything in a week. Some people did not believe this. “What about fossils?” they asked. “What has happened to the strange creatures which existed so many years ago?” they asked. Charles Darwin, a young man just out of university in 1831, was offered a job on a ship on a voyage of discovery around the world. Life on board was tough. Darwin was terribly seasick and was only happy when he was ashore collecting plant samples and observing animals. It was to be the most important journey in his life. It lasted for five years; he returned in October 1836. Darwin studied nature in South America and in a group of small islands in the South Pacific. On each island there were birds. They were very similar, but the shape of their beaks, and even their eating habits varied. Darwin wondered why they were different. Then he realized that, long before, they had been the same. Each island had different foods available. Only the birds that could eat available food could survive. This might depend on having the right shape of beak. He realized that the same process happened with all living things. Over millions of years, all plants and animals have gradually changed into the forms we see today. What we call “the survival of the fittest’’ he named “natural selection”. Darwin called this slow process of change “evolution”. It explains why many kinds of creatures, whose fossil remains, are no longer alive. By 1846, he had published an article describing his voyage. He also began to think seriously about evolution and natural selection, and wrote two essays describing his ideas. He did not publish these essays because he realized his ideas proved the Bible’s theory of creation was wrong, and he was worried about the anger and troubles they would cause. Darwin spent the following years developing his theories and making them perfect. In 1859 he published them in The Origin of Species. It caused a huge row because it seemed to deny what the Bible said. His The Descent of Man (《人类的由来》), 1871, pointed out that mankind had come from the same ancestor. Darwin was upset by the opposition. Other scientists agreed with his ideas and took up his cause. The Church prohibited the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in some countries. However, today most people believe that Darwin was right. 41．What was some people’s reason of not believing in the Bible? 42．What did Darwin love to do when he was working on a ship as a naturalist? 43．What made Darwin realize that the evolution process happened with all living things? 44．Darwin didn’t publish his essays right after he finished them, did he? 45．Why did his book The Origin of Species cause a big argument in the world? 五、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When Sarah was 46 teenager, she used 47 (fight) over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she 48 (hear) a song of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she 49 (actual) missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music. Country is a traditional kind of music from the 50 (south) states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home 51 country music. Many 52 (song) these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the 53 (important) of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. 54 , country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds 55 (we) that the best things in life are free－laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside. 六、书面表达(本大题共10分) 56.著名作家 Francis曾经说过:“读书使人充实”。阅读对我们的成长有着举足轻重的作用。请你根据下面的信息，以“ Reading makes a full man”为题，写一篇80词左右的短文，给出你对阅读的看法和计划。 Why to read to get knowledge, open the mind, learn a foreign language…… What to read textbooks, newspapers, magazines, storybooks…… Your plans reading at least…books in the coming holiday Reading makes a full man ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共9页） 试题 第4页（共9页） 试题 第5页（共9页） 试题 第6页（共9页） 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 Unit6·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一、完形填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Who invented music?

For a long time people had wondered how life had developed on earth. The Bible stated that God had created everything in a week. Some people did not believe this. “What about fossils?” they asked. “What has happened to the strange creatures which existed so many years ago?” they asked. Charles Darwin, a young man just out of university in 1831, was offered a job on a ship on a voyage of discovery around the world. Life on board was tough. Darwin was terribly seasick and was only happy when he was ashore collecting plant samples and observing animals. It was to be the most important journey in his life. It lasted for five years; he returned in October 1836. Darwin studied nature in South America and in a group of small islands in the South Pacific. On each island there were birds. They were very similar, but the shape of their beaks, and even their eating habits varied. Darwin wondered why they were different. Then he realized that, long before, they had been the same. Each island had different foods available. Only the birds that could eat available food could survive. This might depend on having the right shape of beak. He realized that the same process happened with all living things. Over millions of years, all plants and animals have gradually changed into the forms we see today. What we call “the survival of the fittest’’ he named “natural selection”. Darwin called this slow process of change “evolution”. It explains why many kinds of creatures, whose fossil remains, are no longer alive. By 1846, he had published an article describing his voyage. He also began to think seriously about evolution and natural selection, and wrote two essays describing his ideas. He did not publish these essays because he realized his ideas proved the Bible’s theory of creation was wrong, and he was worried about the anger and troubles they would cause. Darwin spent the following years developing his theories and making them perfect. In 1859 he published them in The Origin of Species. It caused a huge row because it seemed to deny what the Bible said. His The Descent of Man (《人类的由来》), 1871, pointed out that mankind had come from the same ancestor. Darwin was upset by the opposition. Other scientists agreed with his ideas and took up his cause. The Church prohibited the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in some countries. However, today most people believe that Darwin was right. 41．What was some people’s reason of not believing in the Bible? 42．What did Darwin love to do when he was working on a ship as a naturalist? 43．What made Darwin realize that the evolution process happened with all living things? 44．Darwin didn’t publish his essays right after he finished them, did he? 45．Why did his book The Origin of Species cause a big argument in the world? 五、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When Sarah was 46 teenager, she used 47 (fight) over almost everything with her family.

She came to realize how much she 49 (actual) missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music. Country is a traditional kind of music from the 50 (south) states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home 51 country music. Many 52 (song) these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the 53 (important) of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. 54 , country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds 55 (we) that the best things in life are free－laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside. 六、书面表达(本大题共10分) 56.著名作家 Francis曾经说过:“读书使人充实”。阅读对我们的成长有着举足轻重的作用。请你根据下面的信息，以“ Reading makes a full man”为题，写一篇80词左右的短文，给出你对阅读的看法和计划。 Why to read to get knowledge, open the mind, learn a foreign language…… What to read textbooks, newspapers, magazines, storybooks…… Your plans reading at least…books in the coming holiday Reading makes a full man ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 / 14 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 Unit6·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一、完形填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Who invented music?

Even the youngest children will jump or move their hands to their favorite music. Music can bring lots of other benefits (好处) to children. Music is simply a fun activity that makes little ones feel good. They are not as shy or afraid as adults (成年人) might be when they sing. They relax, sing and move freely, which really makes them happy. Music is also a wonderful way for children to express themselves. Through musical activities, children can tell how they feel and their ideas without being afraid. They can turn their feelings into dancing to music, and put their ideas down in the form of songs that they can sing. When music is in children’s lives, their memory (记忆力) becomes better. It’s clear to all of us that we remember things faster, better and for a longer time by singing them out than just reading them again and again. All in all, music is one of the ways in which children learn about the world from a very early age. It can help children in many different ways.

Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason for this. Scientists are studying something between music and remembering a foreign language (外语), like English. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future study in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词). Not only does it work, but it is fun for children.” “Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Hua Zhuying adds. Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 21．Why does the writer ask questions in Paragraph 1? A．To tell a story. B．To give an example. C．To interest readers. D．To answer questions. 22．What’s the underlined word “catchy” probably mean? A．Easy to remember. B．Fast to read. C．Slow to follow. D．Hard to understand. 23．What do we know about Hua Zhuying? A．She is an English and music teacher in China. B．She teaches Chinese in English language school in Washington DC． C．She teaches little children Chinese lyrics with English songs. D．She spoke English much better when she was young. 24．What can we learn from the text? A．Learning foreign languages can open the door for future. B．It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music. C．Teachers should have some special ways to teach students. D．Music helps when we have problems in singing foreign songs. 25．What’s the best title of this text? A．The importance of music B．The songs about teaching English C．Study music and a foreign language D．Learning foreign languages in music 【答案】21．C 22．A 23．C 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文主要讲述大脑喜欢以吸引人的、有意义的方式记住事情，通过唱歌来学习外语，是一种非常好的方法。 21．推理判断题。根据“How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason for this.”可知，作者在第1段中提出问题是为了引起读者兴趣，故选C。 22．词义猜测题。根据“The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way.”可知，大脑喜欢以朗朗上口、轻松的方式记住事物。下划线的单词“catchy”可能意思是“易于记忆”，故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据“For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics”可知，华竹影用英文歌曲教孩子们中文歌词，故选C。 24．细节理解题。根据“For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了我们的大脑在学习语言时喜欢音乐，所以通过音乐来学习语言对掌握这门语言有很大帮助。因此我们能从课文中学到在音乐中学习外语对孩子们有帮助。故选B。 25．最佳标题题。根据最后一段“Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out?”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述大脑喜欢以吸引人的、有意义的方式记住事情，通过唱歌来学习外语，是一种非常好的方法，所以D选项“在音乐中学习外语”符合本文标题，故选D。 D Benefits of Music 26 Research has shown that playing music lowers your blood pressure, reduces stress and anxiety levels. Most importantly, we can enjoy playing music even at an old age, and it’s a social activity that keeps our minds active. This is especially important in protecting ourselves from mind-related diseases such as Alzheimer disease (阿尔茨海默病). 27 Many studies show how learning music can enhance (加强) the mind when you pick it up at an early age. But what if we have already passed early age? It turns out that learning music at an older age can do wonders for your mind as well. In a study at the University of South Florida, adults aged between 60 and 85 were given piano lessons. Six months later, they exhibited improved memory, verbal fluency, information processing skills, and other cognitive (认知的) functions. 28 Learning music gives you opportunities to put yourself in that situation and, more importantly, to pull through them! The audience does not have to be massive; you could be performing for just one person or partner. But when you pull off a performance, you will feel a whole lot better about yourself. And the best thing is, you will bring that confidence into other areas of your life. 29 Music is a universal (普遍的) language. Think of how many of us can appreciate songs in languages we don’t speak or barely understand. You will be surprised at how music can bring you closer to people, especially if you need to socialize with people from other cultures. If you ever find yourself lacking a topic to talk about, ask the other person what his/her favourite song is, and if you are knowledgeable in music, you’ve got yourself a great conversation. 30 Musicians often play with other musicians. And when they do, it is important to always listen to your teammates and watch their facial and body language. Only then can you decide how you want to play your instrument to blend in seamlessly (无漏洞地) with the song. This ability to listen to what everyone is saying and find a good solution translates to other areas in your life and makes you a great team player. A．Music Makes You a Team Player B．Music Builds Your Confidence C．Music Does Wonders for Your Health D．Music Makes People Happy E．Music Connects Yourself Better F．Music Makes You Pretty Smart 【答案】26．C 27．F 28．B 29．E 30．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍音乐的好处。 26．根据“Research has shown that playing music lowers your blood pressure, reduces stress and anxiety levels.”可知，研究表明，播放音乐可以降低你的血压，减少压力和焦虑水平。选项C“音乐对你的健康有奇效”符合语境，故选C。 27．根据“Many studies show how learning music can enhance (加强) the mind”和“Six months later, they exhibited improved memory, verbal fluency, information processing skills, and other cognitive (认知的) functions.”可知，学习音乐可以增强思维，可以增强记忆力、语言流畅性、信息处理能力和其他认知功能。选项F“音乐让你变得聪明”符合语境，故选F。 28．根据“And the best thing is, you will bring that confidence into other areas of your life.”可知，选项B“音乐培养你的自信”符合语境，音乐使人自信，故选B。 29．根据“You will be surprised at how music can bring you closer to people, especially if you need to socialize with people from other cultures.”可知，你会惊讶于音乐是如何拉近你与人的距离，尤其是当你需要与来自其他文化的人交往时。选项E“音乐能更好地连接你自己”符合语境，故选E。 30．根据“This ability to listen to what everyone is saying and find a good solution translates to other areas in your life and makes you a great team player.”可知，音乐使你成为一个伟大的团队合作者，选项A“音乐让你成为团队成员”符合语境，故选A。 三、选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 根据短文内容，用方框中所给的词填空，使短文意思完整、连贯。（每个单词限用一次，有两个多余的单词） example, completely, spent, bought, languages, after, popular, places, before, took, excited, pay Have you ever read Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone?

For a long time people had wondered how life had developed on earth. The Bible stated that God had created everything in a week. Some people did not believe this. “What about fossils?” they asked. “What has happened to the strange creatures which existed so many years ago?” they asked. Charles Darwin, a young man just out of university in 1831, was offered a job on a ship on a voyage of discovery around the world. Life on board was tough. Darwin was terribly seasick and was only happy when he was ashore collecting plant samples and observing animals. It was to be the most important journey in his life. It lasted for five years; he returned in October 1836. Darwin studied nature in South America and in a group of small islands in the South Pacific. On each island there were birds. They were very similar, but the shape of their beaks, and even their eating habits varied. Darwin wondered why they were different. Then he realized that, long before, they had been the same. Each island had different foods available. Only the birds that could eat available food could survive. This might depend on having the right shape of beak. He realized that the same process happened with all living things. Over millions of years, all plants and animals have gradually changed into the forms we see today. What we call “the survival of the fittest’’ he named “natural selection”. Darwin called this slow process of change “evolution”. It explains why many kinds of creatures, whose fossil remains, are no longer alive. By 1846, he had published an article describing his voyage. He also began to think seriously about evolution and natural selection, and wrote two essays describing his ideas.
