From the highest peaks to the deepest caves, we have always wanted to discover what lies beyond our familiar world. But why do we feel this strong need to explore nature? One reason is our natural curiosity. As humans, we are born to ask “why” and “how”. Nature is like a big book full of secrets, and we want to turn every page. When we explore a new forest or a remote mountain, we are satisfying our desire to learn and understand the world around us. For example, when scientists study plants in the rainforest, they not only learn about the plants themselves but also how they work with other living things to keep the ecosystem balanced. Another reason is the joy of discovery. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of finding something new—a rare flower, a hidden waterfall, or a group of animals you’ve never seen before. This joy makes us feel alive and connected to the world. It also helps us forget our worries and stress, even if it’s just for a little while. Exploring nature also teaches us important lessons. It shows us how strong and beautiful nature is, but it also reminds us how fragile it can be. When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation, we learn to value and protect our planet. This awareness helps us become better people and better stewards of the earth. In short, exploring nature is part of being human. It satisfies our curiosity, brings us joy, and teaches us to care for our world. So next time you have a chance, step outside and answer the call of nature—you won’t regret it. 1．Why do humans have a strong desire to explore nature? A．Because nature is easy to explore. B．Because of their natural curiosity. C．Because they want to escape from their studies. D．Because nature can provide them with food. 2．What can we learn from exploring nature? A．How to make more money. B．How to live a comfortable life. C．The importance of protecting the earth. D．The history of human beings. 3．What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean? A．easy to be hurt B．very strong C．quite large D．hard to find 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Exploring nature is only for scientists. B．People can’t get any joy from exploring nature. C．Exploring nature helps people reduce stress. D．Nature is not affected by human activities. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The History of Exploring Nature B．The Dangers of Exploring Nature C．Why We Explore Nature D．How to Explore Nature 二、写作 【写作内容】假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Paul 来邮件询问你参加环境保护的志愿者活动情况，请回邮件分享具体内容和活动感想。 【写作要求】正文约40个英文单词，文中不可出现你自己的真实姓名、学校等信息。 【评分标准】信息完整，语言规范，语篇连贯。 Dear Paul, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 5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：基于中职学生英语知识不牢固、学习内驱力不够的学情特点，为了更好地提高学生的学习效率，辅助教师们抓好课前、课中、课后三个教学环节，本专辑深度解读最新的《中等职业学校英语课程标准》，匠心打造了契合广东职教高考命题特色的【广东专用】《英语 基础模块2》（高教版第三版）《一课一练》专辑，专辑共40练。 本卷为《英语 基础模块2》（高教版第三版）Unit 8 Green Earth（Reading and Writing 2）的课前预习和课堂检测。 《英语 基础模块2》（高教版第三版） Unit 8 Green Earth 一课一练（38） Reading and Writing 2 【课前预习】 一、核心词汇检测 1.protect v. 保护 → n. 保护 2.environment n. 环境 → adj. 环境的 3.beauty n. 美丽；美好 → adj. 美丽的 4.involve v. 参与；使卷入 → adj. 有关的；参与的 5.generate v. 产生 → n. 一代 (人) 6.act v. 行动 → n. 行动 7.transport v. 运输 → n. 交通 8.use v. 使用；利用 → adj. 有用的 【答案】1.protect v. 保护 → protection n. 保护 2.environment n. 环境 → environmental adj. 环境的 3.beauty n. 美丽；美好 → beautiful adj. 美丽的 4.involve v. 参与；使卷入 → involved adj. 有关的；参与的 5.generate v. 产生 → generation n. 一代 (人) 6.act v. 行动 → action n. 行动 7.transport v. 运输 → transportation n. 交通 8.use v. 使用；利用 → useful adj. 有用的 【课堂检测】 一、阅读理解 The Call of Nature: Why We Can’t Stop Exploring Since the beginning of time, humans have been drawn to nature’s wonders.

A．The History of Exploring Nature B．The Dangers of Exploring Nature C．Why We Explore Nature D．How to Explore Nature 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，阐述了人类探索自然的原因，包括天生的好奇心、发现的喜悦以及探索能让我们学到重要教训等，呼吁人们响应自然的召唤去探索自然。 1．第二段明确提到“One reason is our natural curiosity. As humans, we are born to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’.”，说明人类有强烈探索自然的欲望是因为天生的好奇心。 2．第四段指出“When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation, we learn to value and protect our planet.”，表明从探索自然中我们能学到保护地球的重要性。 3．第四段指出“but it also reminds us how fragile it can be. When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation...”，看到污染或砍伐森林造成的破坏，可知这里说自然也有脆弱的一面，“fragile”意思是“容易受伤的”。 4．第三段提到“This joy makes us feel alive and connected to the world. It also helps us forget our worries and stress, even if it’s just for a little while.”，说明探索自然能帮助人们减轻压力。 5．文章开篇提出“But why do we feel this strong need to explore nature?”，接着从多个方面阐述原因，所以最佳标题是“Why We Explore Nature”。 二、写作 【写作内容】假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Paul 来邮件询问你参加环境保护的志愿者活动情况，请回邮件分享具体内容和活动感想。 【写作要求】正文约40个英文单词，文中不可出现你自己的真实姓名、学校等信息。 【评分标准】信息完整，语言规范，语篇连贯。 Dear Paul, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文： Dear Paul.
