Write the measurements in your garden plan. Then, make a map of your garden, like the one above. Finally, decide which plant you want to grow the most. Mark out the space on your map for that plant.

B With prices and building costs rising, the DIY trend in the US continues to grow. “We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. That is a large sum. “I was upset about it. But later, I finished a car repair course; Now, I should be able to fix the car by myself.” John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself. 1. From the text we know that many newly married people ____ .

C The London Eye, standing on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, is one of the most famous places in the UK. As one of Europe’s tallest Ferris wheels, it has become a must-visit spot for tourists from all over the world since it opened in 2000. This amazing structure is 135 meters high. It has 32 glass capsules (座舱), and each can hold about 25 people. The capsules are slowly moving, so visitors have enough time to take photos and enjoy the scenery. A full ride around the London Eye takes about 30 minutes. On sunny days, the view is especially wonderful. You can clearly see many famous buildings nearby, such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. The London Eye looks even more beautiful at night. When the lights around it are turned on, the huge wheel shines brightly against the dark sky. It has become a romantic and magical part of London’s night view. Many couples and families love to take a ride in the evening to feel the special charm of the city. Besides being a popular tourist attraction, the London Eye also holds special meanings. It was built to celebrate the new millennium (千禧年). Over the years, it has witnessed countless happy moments of visitors and become a symbol of London’s modern vitality. For anyone who wants to have a bird’s-eye view of London, the London Eye is really the perfect choice. 1. How long has the London Eye been open? A. For 20 years. B. For 25 years. C. For 30 years. D.

D ①Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages (有点) of both ways. ②One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. ③Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. ④It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel — communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world. ⑤In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can — and often do — go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. ⑥Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. ⑦There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 1. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene. 2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Traveling with others. B. Inner strength. C. Outside influence. D. Traveling alone. 3. Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ____ . A. sharing a lot of things B. knowing yourself better C. getting support easily D. having a sense of safety 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. If you travel alone, nobody can influence your decisions. B. Traveling with friends can give you a sense of achievement. C. Traveling with friends can help you to discover inner strength. D. The writer suggests traveling alone because there are more advantages. 5. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…) A. B. C. D. 四、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Imagine spending your nights sleeping thousands of times, each time for only four seconds. Does it sound like a nightmare (噩梦)? __1__________ Like other penguins, chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) spend much of their time in the water. But when the time comes to raise their young, they return to land to build nests and lay eggs. Usually, one parent guards (守卫) the nest while the other hunts for food. The “guarding parent” must always keep an alert (警惕的) look out. __2__________ Getting a good night’s sleep can be deadly for the young, but it’s hard to stay alert for 20 hours a day. Chinstrap penguins have found an unusual way to solve the problem. In a new study, scientists report that chinstrap penguins take thousands of “micro-sleeps” (微睡眠) every day. __3__________ By taking over 10,000 micro sleeps a day, the penguins get a total of about 11 hours of sleep a day. Niels Rattenborg is one of the scientists. He says the penguins are always “blinking” (眨眼) their eyes. __4__________ Dr Rattenborg says it’s amazing how they can keep guarding their nests, eggs, and babies while sleeping like this. __5__________ Do these micro sleeps help the penguins feel truly rested, or just help them stay alive? Do they sleep this way only when they have babies, or at other times too? More studies are needed to learn about these birds that cannot fly. A. But scientists still have questions. B. Each sleep lasts only about four seconds. C. They do this around the clock for several weeks at a time. D. Well, that’s exactly how chinstrap penguin parents sleep. E. Scientists have found that other penguins also have similar sleeping habit. F. Because some skus (贼鸥) like to attack the eggs and young penguins. G. More researches need to be done to study the sleep pattern to help chinstrap penguins. 五、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Many people around the world are working to protect animals in danger. Here are three of their stories. Read on to learn __1__________ they’re helping! Fernanda Abra is protecting golden-handed Tamarins in Brazil. “These monkeys live in forests. Over the years, many roads have divided their habitat __2__________ smaller parts. The animals must risk their lives __3__________ (cross) the roads to find each other. To help them, we have built bridges in the canopy (树冠层). This allows the animals to move around __4__________ (safe).” Aristide Kamla is saving African manatees in Cameroon. “Lake Ossa is home to some manatees. In the past, the lake was __5__________ (cover) with a type of weed (水草). The weed grew fast and was hard to kill. __6__________ the manatees could hardly come to the surface for air. With the local __7__________ (people) help, we first cleared some of the weed by hand. Then, we introduced weevils (象鼻虫) to eat the weed. Today, the weed grows in less than ten per cent of the lake.” Kuenzang Dorji is saving Gee’s golden langurs in Bhutan. “Habitat loss and climate change are making it hard for langurs __8__________ (find) food. This has forced them to eat farmers’ crops. Many langurs have been hurt by cars or power lines, or killed by angry farmers. As __9__________ method, we have placed model tigers near crops, roads and power stations. These “tigers” roar (吼叫) to scare the monkeys away. We also plan to help farmers grow crops which are __10__________ (little) delicious to the monkeys, such as mushrooms. ” 六、翻译句子。 1. 没有什么比吃美食更令人满意的了。 There is ____________________________ than ____________________________ . 2. 他们设法阻止了人们捕猎犀牛来获取他们的牛角。 They managed ____________________________ rhinos for their horns. 3. 中国人把一年分成了多少个节气? _____________ Solar Terms _____________ Chinese people ____________________________ ? 4. 狼主要以小动物为食，他们经常团队合作。 Wolves ____________________________ small animals.

In many cultures they mean good luck. There are about 5,000 different types of ladybugs in the world. They come in many different colours and patterns, but the most familiar in the UK is the seven-spot ladybug which has a shiny, red-and-black body. Most people like ladybugs because they are pretty, graceful and harmless to humans. Farmers also love them very much. They eat aphids (蚜虫) and other plant-eating pests. Most ladybugs have oval (椭圆形的), dome-shaped bodies with six short legs. Depending on the types, they can have spots, stripes or no markings at all. Seven-spot ladybugs are red or sometimes orange with three spots on each side and one in the middle. Their heads are black with white patches (斑点) on either side. The ladybug’s bright colours can warn animals they’d better not eat them. When they are in danger, the ladybugs produce an oily, yellow fluid from joints in their legs — and their colouring acts as a reminder to any predators who have eaten their kind before that they taste disgusting! These bugs have another trick to avoid danger too — remain still and pretend to be dead. Simple, eh? Birds are ladybugs’ main predators, but they also fall victims (牺牲品) to frogs, spiders and dragonflies. Seven-spot ladybugs are native to Europe but were introduced to North America in themid-1900s to control aphid populations. These ladybugs are happy in many different habitats, including grasslands, forests, cities, suburbs and along rivers. During spring and summer, when they are most active, these ladybugs can be seen fluttering around or walking on the leaves of plants. But when the weather turns colder in autumn, they look for a warm, secluded place to hibernate (冬眠), such asunder rocks or even inside houses. They like to group together too. 1. What do ladybugs stand for in many cultures? _________________________________________________________ 2. Why do farmers love ladybugs? _________________________________________________________ 3. What will ladybugs do when they are in danger? _________________________________________________________ 4. When do seven-spot ladybugs become most active? _________________________________________________________ 5. Do you love to keep ladybugs as pets? Why or why not? _________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级上学期Unit 5-6综合练习 一、单项选择 1. It is such ____ awful day!

When the lights around it are turned on, the huge wheel shines brightly against the dark sky. It has become a romantic and magical part of London’s night view. Many couples and families love to take a ride in the evening to feel the special charm of the city.（伦敦眼在夜晚看起来更加美丽。当周围的灯打开时，巨大的轮子在黑暗的天空中闪闪发光。它已经成为伦敦夜景中浪漫而神奇的一部分。许多夫妻和家庭喜欢在晚上骑车去感受城市的特殊……。）”可推断：“charm”所在句强调游客体验城市的特殊魅力，结合前文对夜景的赞美，可知“charm”意为“魅力；美丽”。答案选B。 4. 题干意思：你从文章的最后一句话中推断出什么？A. 伦敦眼很受欢迎；B. 伦敦眼很高；C. 伦敦眼很浪漫；D. 伦敦眼是现代的。根据最后一句“For anyone who wants to have a bird’s-eye view of London, the London Eye is really the perfect choice.（对于任何想要俯瞰伦敦全貌的人来说，伦敦眼绝对是理想之选。）”可知，该句暗示伦敦眼的高度使其成为俯瞰伦敦的理想选择。答案选B。 D ①Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages (有点) of both ways. ②One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. ③Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. ④It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel — communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world. ⑤In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can — and often do — go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. ⑥Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. ⑦There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 1. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C.

Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ____ . A. sharing a lot of things B. knowing yourself better C. getting support easily D. having a sense of safety 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. If you travel alone, nobody can influence your decisions. B. Traveling with friends can give you a sense of achievement. C. Traveling with friends can help you to discover inner strength. D. The writer suggests traveling alone because there are more advantages. 5. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…) A. B. C. D. 【答案】CDBAA 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了独自旅行和与朋友旅行的优缺点。文章通过对比两种旅行方式的好处，帮助读者做出选择。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends?”可知，作者通过提问的方式引入话题。故选C。 2. 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow.（独自旅行真的能让你了解自己的能力，并帮助你发现你不知道自己拥有的内在力量。此外，它还为你提供了思考、学习和成长的时间。）”可知，画线词“it”指代“独自旅行”。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第5段“One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process（与朋友一起旅行的主要优势之一是能够分享这些东西，并在整个过程中相互支持）”和第6段“Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel.（正如你妈妈常说的那样，和别人一起旅行确实可以给你一种安全感，尤其是如果你是新手。）”可知，与朋友旅行的优点包括分享、支持和安全感。而“更好地了解自己”是独自旅行的优点。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat.（独自旅行的好处之一是，你可以制定去哪里和吃什么的规则。）”可知，独自旅行时，没有人能影响你的决定。故选A。 5. 篇章结构题。文章的结构是先提出问题 （①） ，然后分别讨论独自旅行 （②③④） 和与朋友旅行 （⑤⑥）的优点，最后总结（⑦）。故选A。 四、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Imagine spending your nights sleeping thousands of times, each time for only four seconds. Does it sound like a nightmare (噩梦)? __1__________ Like other penguins, chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) spend much of their time in the water. But when the time comes to raise their young, they return to land to build nests and lay eggs. Usually, one parent guards (守卫) the nest while the other hunts for food. The “guarding parent” must always keep an alert (警惕的) look out. __2__________ Getting a good night’s sleep can be deadly for the young, but it’s hard to stay alert for 20 hours a day. Chinstrap penguins have found an unusual way to solve the problem. In a new study, scientists report that chinstrap penguins take thousands of “micro-sleeps” (微睡眠) every day. __3__________ By taking over 10,000 micro sleeps a day, the penguins get a total of about 11 hours of sleep a day. Niels Rattenborg is one of the scientists. He says the penguins are always “blinking” (眨眼) their eyes. __4__________ Dr Rattenborg says it’s amazing how they can keep guarding their nests, eggs, and babies while sleeping like this. __5__________ Do these micro sleeps help the penguins feel truly rested, or just help them stay alive? Do they sleep this way only when they have babies, or at other times too? More studies are needed to learn about these birds that cannot fly. A. But scientists still have questions. B. Each sleep lasts only about four seconds. C. They do this around the clock for several weeks at a time. D. Well, that’s exactly how chinstrap penguin parents sleep. E. Scientists have found that other penguins also have similar sleeping habit. F. Because some skus (贼鸥) like to attack the eggs and young penguins. G. More researches need to be done to study the sleep pattern to help chinstrap penguins. 【答案】DFBCA 【解析】本文主要介绍了科学家们发现的一种企鹅的睡眠模式。 1. 根据第1段“Imagine spending your nights sleeping thousands of times, each time for only four seconds. Does it sound like a nightmare (噩梦)?（想象一下，你的夜晚都在睡上几千次，每次只有四秒钟。听起来像是噩梦吗？）”，以及第2段“Like other penguins, chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) spend much of their time in the water. （像其他企鹅一样，帽带企鹅大部分时间都在水里。）”，可知空格处应该是对上文提问的噩梦的回答，且与企鹅有关。结合选项，D项“Well, that’s exactly how chinstrap penguin parents sleep.（没错，这就像帽带企鹅父母的睡眠一样。）”符合题意，故答案为D。 2. 根据第2段“ Usually, one parent guards (守卫) the nest while the other hunts for food. The “guarding parent” must always keep an alert (警惕的) look out.（通常，父母中的一方守卫巢穴，而另一方去觅食。‘守护父母’必须时刻保持警惕。）”，可知空格处应该是在解释为什么企鹅父母要保持警惕。结合选项，F项“Because some skus (贼鸥) like to attack the eggs and young penguins.（因为一些贼鸥喜欢攻击蛋和年幼的企鹅。）”符合题意，故答案为F。 3. 根据第3段“In a new study, scientists report that chinstrap penguins take thousands of “micro-sleeps” (微睡眠) every day.（在一项新的研究中，科学家们报告说，帽带企鹅每天要进行数千次‘微睡眠’。）”，可知空格处应该是在进一步解释“微睡眠”。结合选项，B项“Each sleep lasts only about four seconds.（每次睡眠只持续四秒钟。）”符合题意，故答案为B。 4. 根据第4段“Niels Rattenborg is one of the scientists. He says the penguins are always “blinking” their eyes.（尼尔斯·拉滕堡是其中一名科学家。他说企鹅总是‘眨眼’。）”，可知空格处应该是在解释“眨眼”。结合选项，C项“They do this around the clock for several weeks at a time.（它们一次24小时这样做几个星期。）”符合题意，故答案为C。 5. 根据第5段“Do these micro sleeps help the penguins feel truly rested, or just help them stay alive? Do they sleep this way only when they have babies, or at other times too? More studies are needed to learn about these birds that cannot fly.（这些微睡眠能帮助企鹅真正休息，还是只是为了生存？它们只有在有孩子的时候才会这样睡觉，还是在其他时候也会这样睡觉？需要更多的研究来了解这些不会飞的鸟。）”，可知空格处应该是在提出问题。结合选项，A项“But scientists still have questions.（但是科学家们仍然有问题。”符合题意，故答案为A。 五、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Many people around the world are working to protect animals in danger.

In many cultures they mean good luck. There are about 5,000 different types of ladybugs in the world. They come in many different colours and patterns, but the most familiar in the UK is the seven-spot ladybug which has a shiny, red-and-black body. Most people like ladybugs because they are pretty, graceful and harmless to humans. Farmers also love them very much. They eat aphids (蚜虫) and other plant-eating pests. Most ladybugs have oval (椭圆形的), dome-shaped bodies with six short legs. Depending on the types, they can have spots, stripes or no markings at all. Seven-spot ladybugs are red or sometimes orange with three spots on each side and one in the middle. Their heads are black with white patches (斑点) on either side. The ladybug’s bright colours can warn animals they’d better not eat them. When they are in danger, the ladybugs produce an oily, yellow fluid from joints in their legs — and their colouring acts as a reminder to any predators who have eaten their kind before that they taste disgusting! These bugs have another trick to avoid danger too — remain still and pretend to be dead. Simple, eh? Birds are ladybugs’ main predators, but they also fall victims (牺牲品) to frogs, spiders and dragonflies. Seven-spot ladybugs are native to Europe but were introduced to North America in themid-1900s to control aphid populations. These ladybugs are happy in many different habitats, including grasslands, forests, cities, suburbs and along rivers. During spring and summer, when they are most active, these ladybugs can be seen fluttering around or walking on the leaves of plants. But when the weather turns colder in autumn, they look for a warm, secluded place to hibernate (冬眠), such asunder rocks or even inside houses. They like to group together too. 1.

What will ladybugs do when they are in danger? _________________________________________________________ 4. When do seven-spot ladybugs become most active? _________________________________________________________ 5. Do you love to keep ladybugs as pets?

They will produce an oily, yellow fluid from joints in their legs and remain still and pretend to be dead. 4. During spring and summer. 5. Yes, I do. Because they are pretty, graceful and harmless to us. (答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
