B A tree that looks very much like it’s walking across a field won 2024’s Tree of the Year competition in New Zealand. The 25-metre-tall tree can be found on the farmland near the town of Karamea on New Zealand’s South Island. With its two trunks, it looks a lot like a walking person—and it has been given the name “The Walking Tree”. The Walking Tree is a kind of tree called a northern rātā, one of New Zealand’s tallest flowering trees. In fact, this tree begins life growing on another tree. Over time, it completely covers the tree it grew on. A northern rātā is known for its large number of bright red flowers in summer. It can live for as long as 1,000 years. But no one knows how old the Walking Tree is. Peter Curry said his family got rid of the trees on the land in 1875 in order to plant crops. “They must have thought the tree was special because they didn’t leave anything else,” he said. The New Zealand Arboricultural Association (树木培植协会) runs the competition to celebrate trees that play an important role in the lives and history of Kiwi communities (社区). The association said Karamea’s Walking Tree was the favourite in the competition, getting over 42% of the votes (选票). Richie Hill from the association said the Walking Tree was an example of the great trees that New Zealanders are lucky to experience. 31．Why was the tree given the name “The Walking Tree”? A．Because it often moves. B．Because it looks beautiful. C．Because it is a symbol of long life. D．Because it looks like a walking person. 32．Which of the following is TRUE about the tree? A．It is over 1,000 years old. B．It is famous for its flowers. C．It is actually made up of two trees. D．It is the tallest tree in New Zealand. 33．What does the underlined phrase “got rid of” mean in English? A．Cleared. B．Planted. C．Cared. D．Protected. 34．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The history of the tree. B．The symbol of New Zealand. C．People’s ideas about the tree. D．People’s work to protect the tree. 35．Where can you probably read the passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a newspaper. C．In a history book. D．In a sports magazine. C When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley (山谷) of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals. The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometres. Here are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colours. There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹). Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can’t build anything or live there. They can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there. 36．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By showing some numbers. 37．Where is the Valley of Flowers located? A．In the south of India. B．In Uttarakhand, a state in the north of India. C．In the Himalayas of Nepal. D．In a valley of China. 38．What can we see in the Valley of Flowers? A．Trees, grass and elephants. B．Flowers, trees and whales. C．Flowers, trees and monkeys. D．Flowers, grass and snow leopards. 39．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The trees. B．The animals. C．The flowers. D．The wild plants. 40．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To tell the facts about the Valley of Flowers. B．To describe the beautiful scene of the Himalayas. C．To ask more people to visit the Valley of Flowers. D．To explain the problems of some national parks in India. 四、选词填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 仔细阅读下面短文，用下面方框中所给单词或短语的填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有二个单词或短语是多余的。) offered \ importantly \ interest \ speak highly of \ climber \ make fun of \ successfully Jordan Romero is a famous American mountain 41 . He was born on July 12, 1996, in California. He showed great 42 in mountain climbing at a young age. In 2010, at the age of 13, he 43 reached the top of Mount Qomolangma. He became the youngest person ever to climb the world’s highest peak. His parents and guides 44 him great help. However, he didn’t stop there. By the age of 15, he had finished climbing the highest mountains on all seven continents. This action set a new world record. Many people 45 him. They believe his spirit can encourage young people to face challenges. 五、综合填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 Reaching New Heights To most people, Mount Qomolangma is one of the 46 (great) wonders of the world. On the highest place on Earth, you will feel like you are able 47 (touch) the sky. But only the best climbers reach the top, and that is only if they survive the terrible conditions first. Before 1960, no one was able to reach the top of Qomolangma from the 48 (north) side. Mountain climbers even called that way the “Death Road”, but a Chinese climbing team was 49 (determine) to make the climb. On 24 May 1960, climbers Liu Lianman, Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, and Gongbu arrived at the Second Step. It was 8,600 metres above sea level. Liu allowed his teammates 50 (step) on his shoulders. Bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up, and they made it past the Second Step. At 4:20 a.m. on 25 May, the Chinese national flag flew above the world’s highest mountain for 51 first time. In 1975, another Chinese team climbed to the top of Qomolangma to do research. This time, they brought a ladder to the Second Step. Until 2007, almost all 52 (climb) from the northern side used this “Chinese Ladder” to reach the top much faster. In 2020, a third team returned to Qomolangma to measure its 53 (high)—8,848.86 metres. Climbing Qomolangma is dangerous. Some climbers reach the top 54 (success), but many fail. Why do people still risk their lives to climb the highest mountain in the world? It is because human 55 (curious) and ambition cannot be stopped. Or, it is simply “because it’s there”! 六、书面表达（共1大题，满分20分） 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom对自然奇观很感兴趣，他想了解中国的一处自然奇观。请你给他写一封信，介绍一处你最喜欢的中国自然景观（如黄山、张家界、九寨沟等）。 内容要点： 1.介绍这处自然景观的位置和特点； 2.描述它的独特之处（使用比较级或最高级）； 3.表达你对它的感受，并邀请他有机会来参观。 要求： 1.语句通顺，逻辑清晰； 2.不少于80词； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, I’m glad to hear that you are interested in natural wonders. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 1 / 14 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元测试（武汉卷专用） Unit 4·培优卷 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ （时间：100分钟，满分：95分） 一、选择填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。将代表该答案的字母在答题卡上相应的位置涂黑。 1．—My father often ________ me to school when it rains. —You’re so lucky.

Why do people still risk their lives to climb the highest mountain in the world? It is because human 55 (curious) and ambition cannot be stopped. Or, it is simply “because it’s there”! 六、书面表达（共1大题，满分20分） 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom对自然奇观很感兴趣，他想了解中国的一处自然奇观。请你给他写一封信，介绍一处你最喜欢的中国自然景观（如黄山、张家界、九寨沟等）。 内容要点： 1.介绍这处自然景观的位置和特点； 2.描述它的独特之处（使用比较级或最高级）； 3.表达你对它的感受，并邀请他有机会来参观。 要求： 1.语句通顺，逻辑清晰； 2.不少于80词； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, I’m glad to hear that you are interested in natural wonders. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 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 $ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元测试（武汉卷专用） Unit 4·培优卷 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ （时间：100分钟，满分：95分） 一、选择填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。将代表该答案的字母在答题卡上相应的位置涂黑。 1．—My father often ________ me to school when it rains. —You’re so lucky.

Just take the first small 21 you can reach safely.” I did what he told me. I moved my left foot 22 to a nearby rock, then my right foot. I didn’t look at the far ground anymore, only 23 on each small step. Step by step, I climbed down slowly. Finally, I stood on the safe ground and 24 my father.

The 25-metre-tall tree can be found on the farmland near the town of Karamea on New Zealand’s South Island. With its two trunks, it looks a lot like a walking person—and it has been given the name “The Walking Tree”. The Walking Tree is a kind of tree called a northern rātā, one of New Zealand’s tallest flowering trees. In fact, this tree begins life growing on another tree. Over time, it completely covers the tree it grew on. A northern rātā is known for its large number of bright red flowers in summer. It can live for as long as 1,000 years. But no one knows how old the Walking Tree is. Peter Curry said his family got rid of the trees on the land in 1875 in order to plant crops. “They must have thought the tree was special because they didn’t leave anything else,” he said. The New Zealand Arboricultural Association (树木培植协会) runs the competition to celebrate trees that play an important role in the lives and history of Kiwi communities (社区). The association said Karamea’s Walking Tree was the favourite in the competition, getting over 42% of the votes (选票). Richie Hill from the association said the Walking Tree was an example of the great trees that New Zealanders are lucky to experience. 31．Why was the tree given the name “The Walking Tree”? A．Because it often moves. B．Because it looks beautiful. C．Because it is a symbol of long life. D．Because it looks like a walking person. 32．Which of the following is TRUE about the tree? A．It is over 1,000 years old. B．It is famous for its flowers. C．It is actually made up of two trees. D．It is the tallest tree in New Zealand. 33．What does the underlined phrase “got rid of” mean in English? A．Cleared. B．Planted. C．Cared. D．Protected. 34．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The history of the tree. B．The symbol of New Zealand. C．People’s ideas about the tree. D．People’s work to protect the tree. 35．Where can you probably read the passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a newspaper. C．In a history book. D．In a sports magazine. 【答案】31．D 32．B 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了新西兰一棵外形酷似行人的“行走之树”以超42%的得票率当选2024新西兰年度之树。它是当地特有的北方瑞塔树，早在1875年就因特别被特意保留，该奖项旨在表彰对社区有重要意义的树木。 31．根据第二段结尾“it looks a lot like a walking person—and it has been given the name ‘The Walking Tree’”可知，这棵树被称为“行走之树”是因为它的外形酷似行人。 32．根据第三段开头“The Walking Tree is a kind of tree called a northern rātā”以及第四段开头“A northern rātā is known for its large number of bright red flowers in summer.”可知，这棵树以它的花闻名。 33．根据后面的“They must have thought the tree was special because they didn’t leave anything else”可知，他们为了种庄稼只保留了这棵树，把其他树都清理掉了。cleared“清除，清理”与got rid of同义。planted“种植”、cared“关心，照顾”和protected“保护”均不符。 34．根据最后一段的“getting over 42% of the votes (选票)”和“Richie Hill from the association said the Walking Tree…”可知，这些都是人们对这棵树的看法和评价。 35．本文是一则关于“年度之树”评选的新闻报道，这类内容通常出现在报纸上。 C When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley (山谷) of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals. The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometres. Here are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colours. There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹). Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can’t build anything or live there. They can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there. 36．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By showing some numbers. 37．Where is the Valley of Flowers located? A．In the south of India. B．In Uttarakhand, a state in the north of India. C．In the Himalayas of Nepal. D．In a valley of China. 38．What can we see in the Valley of Flowers? A．Trees, grass and elephants. B．Flowers, trees and whales. C．Flowers, trees and monkeys. D．Flowers, grass and snow leopards. 39．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The trees. B．The animals. C．The flowers. D．The wild plants. 40．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To tell the facts about the Valley of Flowers. B．To describe the beautiful scene of the Himalayas. C．To ask more people to visit the Valley of Flowers. D．To explain the problems of some national parks in India. 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．D 39．D 40．A 【导语】本文讲述了位于印度北部的花之谷的地理位置、规模、特色花卉、特有野生植物、濒危雪豹，以及它被设立为国家公园、对游客的相关游览限制等内容。 36．第1段“When it comes to the Himalayas, what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow?”文章开篇以连续设问的形式引出主题。 37．第2段第1句“The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India.”原文直接写明花之谷的地理位置。 38．第1段、第3段“It is home to pretty flowers...”；“There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass...”；“some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards.”原文提到山谷中有花、树木、草以及雪豹。 39．第3段第1-3句“There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world!”代词them指代前文最近提到的复数核心名词wild plants（野生植物）。 40．全文依次介绍了花之谷的位置、面积、植物、动物、国家公园身份及游客管理规则等客观信息。文章全程客观陈述介绍山谷的相关事实，写作目的就是讲述花之谷的相关真实情况。 四、选词填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 仔细阅读下面短文，用下面方框中所给单词或短语的填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有二个单词或短语是多余的。) offered \ importantly \ interest \ speak highly of \ climber \ make fun of \ successfully Jordan Romero is a famous American mountain 41 . He was born on July 12, 1996, in California. He showed great 42 in mountain climbing at a young age. In 2010, at the age of 13, he 43 reached the top of Mount Qomolangma. He became the youngest person ever to climb the world’s highest peak. His parents and guides 44 him great help. However, he didn’t stop there.

They believe his spirit can encourage young people to face challenges. 【答案】41．climber 42．interest 43．successfully 44．offered 45．speak highly of 【导语】本文介绍了美国著名登山家Jordan Romero的生平事迹，他在13岁时成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰，15岁时完成了攀登七大洲最高峰的壮举。 41．句意：Jordan Romero是一位著名的美国登山家。此处需要一个单数名词，作表语。根据后文“reached the top of Mount Qomolangma”可知，他的身份是登山家，climber意为“登山者”。 42．句意：他在很小的时候就表现出对登山运动的浓厚兴趣。此处需要一个名词，作动词showed的宾语。根据后文介绍可知，他对登山运动感兴趣，showed great interest in意为“对……表现出极大的兴趣”。 43．句意：2010年，年仅13岁的他成功登顶了珠穆朗玛峰。此处需要一个副词，修饰动词reached，表示“成功地”。successfully reached the top意为“成功登顶”。 44．句意：他的父母和向导给了他很大的帮助。根据“him great help”可知，此处需要一个动词，作谓语，表示“提供”。offer him great help意为“给他提供了很大的帮助”，句子描述过去的事情，应填过去式offered。 45．句意：许多人高度赞扬他。此处需要一个动词短语，作谓语，表示“高度赞扬”。speak highly of意为“高度赞扬”，描述一般情况，用一般现在时，主语是Many people，所以谓语用动词原形。 五、综合填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 Reaching New Heights To most people, Mount Qomolangma is one of the 46 (great) wonders of the world. On the highest place on Earth, you will feel like you are able 47 (touch) the sky. But only the best climbers reach the top, and that is only if they survive the terrible conditions first. Before 1960, no one was able to reach the top of Qomolangma from the 48 (north) side. Mountain climbers even called that way the “Death Road”, but a Chinese climbing team was 49 (determine) to make the climb. On 24 May 1960, climbers Liu Lianman, Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, and Gongbu arrived at the Second Step. It was 8,600 metres above sea level. Liu allowed his teammates 50 (step) on his shoulders. Bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up, and they made it past the Second Step. At 4:20 a.m. on 25 May, the Chinese national flag flew above the world’s highest mountain for 51 first time. In 1975, another Chinese team climbed to the top of Qomolangma to do research. This time, they brought a ladder to the Second Step. Until 2007, almost all 52 (climb) from the northern side used this “Chinese Ladder” to reach the top much faster. In 2020, a third team returned to Qomolangma to measure its 53 (high)—8,848.86 metres. Climbing Qomolangma is dangerous. Some climbers reach the top 54 (success), but many fail. Why do people still risk their lives to climb the highest mountain in the world? It is because human 55 (curious) and ambition cannot be stopped. Or, it is simply “because it’s there”! 【答案】 46．greatest 47．to touch 48．northern 49．determined 50．to step 51．the 52．climbers 53．height 54．successfully 55．curiosity 【导语】本文通过讲述中国登山队攀登珠穆朗玛峰的经历，展现了人类挑战极限的勇气与探索精神，强调了坚持与好奇心在突破困境中的重要作用。 46．句意：对大多数人来说，珠穆朗玛峰是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……之一”，此处需用great的最高级形式greatest。 47．句意：在地球的最高处，你会觉得自己能够触摸到天空。“be able to do sth.”为固定搭配，表示“能够做某事”，故此处用动词不定式to touch。 48．句意：1960年之前，没有人能从北侧登上珠穆朗玛峰。此处修饰名词side，需用形容词northern，表示“北侧的”。 49．句意：登山者甚至称那条路为“死亡之路”，但一支中国登山队决心攀登。“be determined to do sth.”为固定搭配，表示“决心做某事”。 50．句意：1960年5月24日，登山者刘连满、王富洲、屈银华和贡布到达第二台阶。它海拔8600米。刘让队友们踩在他的肩膀上。“allow sb. to do sth.”为固定搭配，表示“允许某人做某事”，故此处用动词不定式to step。 51．句意：1960年5月25日凌晨4点20分，中国国旗首次在世界最高峰上空飘扬。“for the first time”为固定搭配，表示“首次”。 52．句意：直到2007年，几乎所有从北侧攀登的人都使用这个“中国梯”更快地登上顶峰。此处作主语，表示“攀登者”，需用名词climbers。 53．句意：2020年，第三支队伍返回珠穆朗玛峰测量其高度——8848.86米。此处作动词measure的宾语，表示“高度”，需用名词height。 54．句意：一些登山者成功登顶，但也有许多人失败。此处修饰动词reach，需用副词successfully，表示“成功地”。 55．句意：这是因为人类的好奇心和野心无法被阻止。此处作主语，表示“好奇心”，需用名词curiosity。 六、书面表达（共1大题，满分20分） 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom对自然奇观很感兴趣，他想了解中国的一处自然奇观。请你给他写一封信，介绍一处你最喜欢的中国自然景观（如黄山、张家界、九寨沟等）。 内容要点： 1.介绍这处自然景观的位置和特点； 2.描述它的独特之处（使用比较级或最高级）； 3.表达你对它的感受，并邀请他有机会来参观。 要求： 1.语句通顺，逻辑清晰； 2.不少于80词； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, I’m glad to hear that you are interested in natural wonders. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Tom, I’m glad to hear that you are interested in natural wonders. I’d like to introduce one of the most beautiful natural wonders in China—Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is located in the northwestern part of Hunan Province. The park is famous for its tall and strange mountains. Some of them are over 1,000 metres high. The views are more amazing than any pictures I have seen.
