It sits at about 416 metres below sea level, making it the 16 point on Earth’s land. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a 17 . It’s a lake with a salt concentration (浓度) of more than 30 percent, which is about ten times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest 18 of water on Earth. The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little 19 , and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea 20 the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. So it is also 21 as the Salt Sea. If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it 22 to have any sea life there. That’s actually why it’s 23 the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t 24 . The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to 25 well, without the need for life buoys. In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore, you’ll likely see many people floating (漂浮) in the water, reading books or newspapers. 16．A．highest B．lowest C．tallest D．smallest 17．A．sea B．lake C．river D．pool 18．A．bodies B．pairs C．risks D．groups 19．A．wind B．rain C．cloud D．snow 20．A．shuts B．falls C．boils D．causes 21．A．found B．looked C．known D．used 22．A．impossible B．possible C．important D．wonderful 23．A．spoken B．called C．told D．talked 24．A．live B．leave C．die D．stay 25．A．float B．fly C．jump D．run 四、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分） 请阅读A、B两篇短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 A Jason enjoys a lot of fun in biology because his hobby is collecting insects (昆虫).

Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts. How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks, leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor center nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara. 31．What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A．A bright star. B．A deep ocean. C．A colorful pizza. D．A football field. 32．What can we learn about the circles of the Eye from Paragraph 2? A．They are all the same size. B．Each circle has the same color. C．There are about 8 round circles. D．The smallest circle is in the center. 33．Why can’t many people visit the Eye of the Sahara easily? A．Because it’s too small to find. B．Because it’s far from big cities. C．Because it’s too hot to get there. D．Because it’s always full of water. 34．What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Hike. B．Climb. C．Protect. D．Develop. 35．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To talk about dangerous sandstorms. B．To tell how to build a visitor center. C．To compare different deserts in Africa. D．To describe a natural wonder and its challenges.

This person was Wang Wencai. For over 70 years, Professor Wang worked hard to research the world of plants in China. He 43 and named about 1,370 wild new plant species. To carry out his research, he spent years in wild mountains and forests. He lost 44 in his right eye at the age of 83. But he didn’t let 45 know. With a magnifier in hand, he still carried on with his research for another 10 years. Despite his huge success, Wang seldom thought about 46 honour or wealth. Although he received the First Class Award of National Natural Science Award twice, he 47 mentioned it. For him, the award 48 to the team, and he was just doing his job. Plants grow and sleep with the seasons. So did Professor Wang. He passed away at the age of 96 with the 49 leaves of autumn. When people came to say goodbye, they didn’t hear any sad notes.

Their goal was to study the effects of climate change on the rainforest’s ecosystem and find new plant species for medicine. The team set up a base camp in the central part of the Amazon rainforest. Daily, they split into small groups for research:some measured temperatures and rainfall, others studied tree growth and animal behavior, and botanists (植物学家) searched for new plant species-walking through dense forests, climbing hills, crossing rivers, and sometimes cutting thick bushes with machetes (砍刀). During the exploration, they made key discoveries: 12 new plant species (including a flower with bacteria-killing chemicals), slower growth of some trees due to higher temperatures, and a 15% drop in certain bird species over five years. They also faced challenges: hot and humid weather, many mosquitoes and insects, and occasional (偶尔的) equipment trouble (which they fixed with their tools). Once, a scientist was bitten by a poisonous snake, but luckily the team’s doctor gave proper treatment. In April 2024, the team finished the exploration and returned home. They planned to write a report to share findings globally, hoping to help people understand the need to protect the Amazon rainforest. 51．How long did the 2024 Amazon rainforest exploration last? _____________________________________________________________________ 52．What was the goal of the exploration team? _____________________________________________________________________ 53．Where did the team set up their base camp? _____________________________________________________________________ 54．How many new plant species did the team find? _____________________________________________________________________ 55．When did the team finish the exploration? _____________________________________________________________________ B. 书面表达 56．假如你叫李华，你最近参加了学校组织的一次自然探索活动。请你根据以下思维导图的内容提示，用英文给学校英文网站写一篇短文，分享这次活动的经历。 注意： （1）可在思维导图内容提示的基础上适当拓展信息； （2）不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实校名和学生的真实姓名； （3）语句连贯，词数80左右。作文开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数。 My Nature Experience Trip   Last month, I took part in a nature exploration trip together by our school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Looking into nature单元测试 （广东专用） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听说应用（本大题共30小题，每小题1分，共30分；A、B、C、D部分为听力理解，E部分为情景对话） A、 B、C、D听力理解（略） E.情景对话（本题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 请通读下面对话，根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Matt: Hi, Jason. 1 Jason: Well, I’m reading an article in the newspaper.

It’s a special place in the desert of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts. How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks, leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor center nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara. 31．What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A．A bright star. B．A deep ocean. C．A colorful pizza. D．A football field. 32．What can we learn about the circles of the Eye from Paragraph 2? A．They are all the same size. B．Each circle has the same color. C．There are about 8 round circles. D．The smallest circle is in the center. 33．Why can’t many people visit the Eye of the Sahara easily? A．Because it’s too small to find. B．Because it’s far from big cities. C．Because it’s too hot to get there. D．Because it’s always full of water. 34．What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Hike. B．Climb. C．Protect. D．Develop. 35．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To talk about dangerous sandstorms. B．To tell how to build a visitor center. C．To compare different deserts in Africa. D．To describe a natural wonder and its challenges. 【答案】31．C 32．D 33．B 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了撒哈拉之眼这一自然奇观的形成过程、外观特征以及面临的威胁，并提出了保护建议。 31．第一段提到“The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts”，因此撒哈拉之眼看起来像一个多彩的披萨。 32．第二段提到“The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside”，因此最小的圆在中心。 33．第三段提到“not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities”，因此人们难以参观是因为它远离大城市。 34．第四段提到“Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand”，结合上下文，科学家研究是为了保护岩石免受沙子侵蚀，因此“conserve”意为“保护”。 35．全文介绍了撒哈拉之眼的外观、形成过程、面临的威胁以及保护建议，因此主旨是描述一个自然奇观及其面临的挑战。 C 配对阅读。 上栏是五位同学的需求，下栏是七则自然相关的活动信息。请为每位同学匹配合适的活动。 36 Jack wants to go hiking and learn about wild plants. 37 Lily wants to listen to a scientist talk about natural phenomena. 38 Tom likes taking photos and wants to capture beautiful natural scenery. 39 Emma is interested in insects and wants to watch videos about them. 40 David wants to play nature-themed games with his friends.

Their goal was to study the effects of climate change on the rainforest’s ecosystem and find new plant species for medicine. The team set up a base camp in the central part of the Amazon rainforest. Daily, they split into small groups for research:some measured temperatures and rainfall, others studied tree growth and animal behavior, and botanists (植物学家) searched for new plant species-walking through dense forests, climbing hills, crossing rivers, and sometimes cutting thick bushes with machetes (砍刀). During the exploration, they made key discoveries: 12 new plant species (including a flower with bacteria-killing chemicals), slower growth of some trees due to higher temperatures, and a 15% drop in certain bird species over five years. They also faced challenges: hot and humid weather, many mosquitoes and insects, and occasional (偶尔的) equipment trouble (which they fixed with their tools). Once, a scientist was bitten by a poisonous snake, but luckily the team’s doctor gave proper treatment. In April 2024, the team finished the exploration and returned home. They planned to write a report to share findings globally, hoping to help people understand the need to protect the Amazon rainforest. 51．How long did the 2024 Amazon rainforest exploration last? _____________________________________________________________________ 52．What was the goal of the exploration team? _____________________________________________________________________ 53．Where did the team set up their base camp? _____________________________________________________________________ 54．How many new plant species did the team find? _____________________________________________________________________ 55．When did the team finish the exploration? _____________________________________________________________________ B. 书面表达 56．假如你叫李华，你最近参加了学校组织的一次自然探索活动。请你根据以下思维导图的内容提示，用英文给学校英文网站写一篇短文，分享这次活动的经历。 注意： （1）可在思维导图内容提示的基础上适当拓展信息； （2）不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实校名和学生的真实姓名； （3）语句连贯，词数80左右。作文开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数。 My Nature Experience Trip   Last month, I took part in a nature exploration trip together by our school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51．It lasted for 3 months. 52．Their goal was to study the effects of climate change on the rainforest’s ecosystem and find new plant species for medicine. 53．They set up their base camp in the central part of the Amazon rainforest. 54．Twelve. 55．In April 2024. 56．例文 My Nature Experience Trip   Last month, I took part in a nature exploration trip organized by our school. My classmates and I went to a small forest near our city.   During the trip, we saw many interesting things. We watched colorful butterflies flying among flowers and heard birds singing in the trees. Our teacher taught us to recognise different leaves, and I even found a small frog under a stone. We took photos of the plants and animals and wrote down what we observed in our notebooks. From this trip, I learned that every small creature plays an important role in nature. I also realized that we must protect the environment to keep nature beautiful. It was really a meaningful trip. I hope I can join in more such activities in the future. 【导语】这篇文章讲述了 2024 年初，一支由 15 名来自不同国家的科学家组成的团队，在亚马逊雨林开展了为期三个月的探险考察。 51．根据第一段 “a three-month exploration” 可知，这次亚马逊雨林探险持续了三个月。 52．根据第一段 “Their goal was to study the effects of climate change on the rainforest’s ecosystem and find new plant species for medicine.” 可知，探险队的目标是研究气候变化对雨林生态系统的影响，并寻找新的药用植物物种。 53．根据第二段 “The team set up a base camp in the central part of the Amazon rainforest.” 可知，探险队在亚马逊雨林的中部建立了大本营。 54．根据第三段 “they made key discoveries: 12 new plant species” 可知，探险队发现了 12 个新的植物物种。 55．根据第五段 “In April 2024, the team finished the exploration” 可知，探险队在 2024 年 4 月完成了探险。 56．写作步骤 [第一步：审题立意] 确定文体：记叙文，主体时态为一般过去时（描述trip的经历），结尾感悟部分用一般现在时。 明确要点：1.  活动地点与人员；2.  活动过程；3.  活动收获； 注意事项：字数80词左右，可适当拓展，不得照抄范文，不出现真实校名和姓名 确定人称 第一人称（I/we/my classmates） [第二步：构思布局] 文章结构 ： 开头：承接已给开头，点明活动时间、地点、参与人员，引出活动主题。 主体：详细描述活动过程，还原活动细节。 结尾：总结活动收获，升华主题，表达对未来活动的期待。 [第三步：要点展开] 要点一：活动基本信息：a small forest near our city/my classmates and I/went on a trip/joined our teachers/explore the natural park 要点二：活动过程细节：watched colorful butterflies/heard birds singing/our teacher taught us to recognise different leaves/found a small frog/took photos of the plants and animals/wrote down what we observed in our notebooks 要点三：活动收获与感悟：every small creature plays an important role in nature/must protect the environment to keep nature beautiful/meaningful trip/gained knowledge about nature/realized the importance of environmental protection 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
