He is known as the Father of Modern Biology. Darwin was born in 1809 in England. He didn’t do well at school and got poor grades. His father was a doctor and wanted Charles to become a doctor too. Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16. However, he preferred spending time studying things in nature to attending medical classes. So he left school without graduation (毕业). Then, Darwin’s father sent him to another school and wanted him to become a minister (牧师). He finished his studies in this school but he didn’t want to be a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H.M.S. Beagle as a scientist. H.M.S. Beagle was going to travel around the world. His work was to make maps of the places they visited. On 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H.M.S. Beagle. He and his teammates planned to spend two years on the trip. In fact, it took five years to make it. They first arrived in South America, and then in Australia. During that time, Darwin saw many amazing things. He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them. Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species (物种起源) with the help of Wallace. In this work, Darwin talked about his ideas about natural selection—how animals developed. At first, few people liked his ideas. They were not popular but now most people agree with them. They are very important to the modern study of living things. 1．Why did the writer include the first paragraph? A．To show Darwin’s school life. B．To introduce Darwin’s information. C．To tell why people like Darwin. D．To talk about Darwin’s family. 2．What was Darwin’s work on H.M.S. Beagle? A．Studying animals. B．Making maps. C．Collecting fossils. D．Writing scientific books. 3．Where did Darwin start his travel? A．From England. B．From Australia. C．From South America. D．From North America. 4．In what order did the following happen in Darwin’s life? a. He was born in 1809 in England. b. He went to study in a medical school. c. He travelled around the world by ship. d. He published On the Origin of Species. e. He finished his studies for being a minister. f. He spent time working on the fossils of plants and animals. A．a→b→e→f→c→d B．e→d→a→b→c→f C．d→e→a→b→c→f D．a→b→e→c→f→d 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了查尔斯·达尔文的生平，包括他的教育背景、环球旅行经历以及他发表《物种起源》的过程。 1．主旨大意题。根据“Charles Darwin was a scientist who changed our understanding of the natural world. He is known as the Father of Modern Biology. Darwin was born in 1809 in England.”可知，第一段主要介绍了达尔文的基本信息。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“His work was to make maps of the places they visited.”可知，达尔文在H.M.S. Beagle上的工作是绘制地图。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“On 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H.M.S. Beagle.”可知，达尔文的旅行是从英格兰开始的。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Darwin was born in 1809 in England.”，“Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16.”，“He finished his studies in this school but he didn’t want to be a minster.”，“After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H.M.S.”，“He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them.”和“Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species (物种起源) with the help of Wallace.”可知，达尔文生平事件的顺序为：a. 1809 年出生于英国→ b. 16 岁被送进医学院学习→ e. 完成牧师学校的学业→ c. 乘坐轮船环游世界→ f. 花时间研究动植物化石→ d. 出版《物种起源》，与选项“a→b→e→c→f→d”一致。故选D。 四、七选五 阅读短文，从短文下面的六个句子中选择五个还原到短文中，使短文通顺完整、衔接自然。 Do you know “glacier mice (冰川老鼠)”? 1 They are actually a kind of moss, one of the most amazing plants in the world. People call them “glacier mice” because from a distance, they look like tiny animals moving slowly. They are green and they look like balls. They are not very big. Some are bigger than a golf ball. 2 These soft green balls just rest on the ice, standing out in the white world. 3 On the one hand, they tell us a lot about the climate. The number of glacier mice is dropping. This shows the change of climate. On the other hand, they play a key role in the ecosystem. Some scientists once did an experiment on glacier mice. They put a small device (装置) inside 30 glacier mice to follow their movements. They learned that the mice travelled about 2-5 centimetres a day. 4 Scientists tried to explain this group movement. Surprisingly, no matter south or west, they move to the same direction, as if they are communicating. How strange! Glacier mice are still a mystery to scientists. For their next experiment, the scientists said they would use cameras to take pictures of the movements of the mice over a long period of time. 5 A．In fact, they are not real mice. B．Glacier mice are small, but they are important. C．Others can reach the size of a small apple. D．For example, they can be found in many high mountains around the world. E．Are you looking forward to getting the answer? F．Sometimes they move south and sometimes west. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“冰川老鼠”这种奇特植物的外观特征、在生态系统中的重要性以及其群体移动的未解之谜。 1．根据文章开头“Do you know ‘glacier mice’?”以及后文“They are actually a kind of moss...”可知，此处应对“冰川老鼠”这一名称进行澄清，说明其并非动物。A选项“事实上，它们并不是真正的老鼠。”符合语境。故选A。 2．根据前文“Some are bigger than a golf ball.”可知，此处应继续说明其他“冰川老鼠”的大小，构成并列描述。C选项“其他的可以达到一个小苹果的大小。”符合语境。故选C。 3．根据本段内容“On the one hand, they tell us a lot about the climate...On the other hand, they play a key role in the ecosystem.”可知，本段核心是阐述“冰川老鼠”虽小但很重要。B选项“冰川老鼠很小，但它们很重要。”符合语境。故选B。 4．根据前文“They learned that the mice travelled about 2-5 centimetres a day.”可知，此处应具体描述这种移动的方向特点。F选项“有时它们向南移动，有时向西移动。”符合语境。故选F。 5．根据前文“...the scientists said they would use cameras to take pictures of the movements of the mice over a long period of time.”可知，此处位于文章结尾，可以表达对实验结果的期待。E选项“你期待得到答案吗？”符合语境。故选E。 五、任务型阅读 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 People depend on plants. We use plants for food, clothes and even the air we breathe. Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe. Plants are also part of the water cycle. Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air. Plants give us a lot of food on the Earth. Fruits, vegetables and grains come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the Earth as well. When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket! Plants are quite important to humans and the Earth. Without plants, the Earth would be a very different place. 1．What do we use plants for according to Paragraph 1? _________________________________________________ 2．Where does most of the water that a plant takes in go? _________________________________________________ 3．Why does growing your own fruits and vegetables help reduce the amount of rubbish? _________________________________________________ 4．In your opinion, what else can plants do for human beings? Write 30 words or more. _________________________________________________ 【答案】1．We use plants for food, clothes and even the air we breathe. 2．It goes back into the air. 3．Because we don’t need to use bags for packing our food. 4．Plants can provide medicine, shelter, and beauty to human beings. They also help in reducing noise pollution and providing habitats for wildlife. What’s more, plants can also help reduce stress and improve moods. (本题答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文阐述了植物对人类和地球的重要性，包括提供生存资源、参与水循环以及家庭种植的环保意义。 1．根据“We use plants for food, clothes and even the air we breathe.”可知我们用植物来获取食物、衣服甚至我们呼吸的空气。故填We use plants for food, clothes and even the air we breathe. 2．根据“Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.”可知植物吸收的大部分水会回到空气中。故填It goes back into the air. 3．根据“You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food.”可知自己种植水果和蔬菜有助于减少垃圾量是因为不需要用袋子来装食物。故填Because we don’t need to use bags for packing our food. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Plants can provide medicine, shelter, and beauty to human beings. They also help in reducing noise pollution and providing habitats for wildlife. What’s more, plants can also help reduce stress and improve moods. 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Looking into nature 课时6 Presenting ideas &Reflection 分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 02能力提升 03拓展培优 04思维进阶 短语 stop doing 停止做某事 thanks to 多亏 be ready to do 准备好做…/乐意做.. carry on with sth 继续某事 be made by.. 被..做 It takes great effort to…做…… 需要付出很大努力 词形变化 achieve v. 实现-achievement n. 实现 一、单项选择 1．The rain stopped ________ and the children went out to play happily.

Darwin was born in 1809 in England. He didn’t do well at school and got poor grades. His father was a doctor and wanted Charles to become a doctor too. Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16. However, he preferred spending time studying things in nature to attending medical classes. So he left school without graduation (毕业). Then, Darwin’s father sent him to another school and wanted him to become a minister (牧师). He finished his studies in this school but he didn’t want to be a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H.M.S. Beagle as a scientist. H.M.S. Beagle was going to travel around the world. His work was to make maps of the places they visited. On 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H.M.S. Beagle. He and his teammates planned to spend two years on the trip. In fact, it took five years to make it. They first arrived in South America, and then in Australia. During that time, Darwin saw many amazing things. He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them. Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species (物种起源) with the help of Wallace. In this work, Darwin talked about his ideas about natural selection—how animals developed. At first, few people liked his ideas. They were not popular but now most people agree with them. They are very important to the modern study of living things. 1．Why did the writer include the first paragraph? A．To show Darwin’s school life. B．To introduce Darwin’s information. C．To tell why people like Darwin. D．To talk about Darwin’s family. 2．What was Darwin’s work on H.M.S. Beagle? A．Studying animals. B．Making maps. C．Collecting fossils. D．Writing scientific books. 3．Where did Darwin start his travel? A．From England. B．From Australia. C．From South America. D．From North America. 4．In what order did the following happen in Darwin’s life? a. He was born in 1809 in England. b. He went to study in a medical school. c. He travelled around the world by ship. d. He published On the Origin of Species. e. He finished his studies for being a minister. f. He spent time working on the fossils of plants and animals.

People call them “glacier mice” because from a distance, they look like tiny animals moving slowly. They are green and they look like balls. They are not very big. Some are bigger than a golf ball. 2 These soft green balls just rest on the ice, standing out in the white world. 3 On the one hand, they tell us a lot about the climate. The number of glacier mice is dropping. This shows the change of climate. On the other hand, they play a key role in the ecosystem. Some scientists once did an experiment on glacier mice. They put a small device (装置) inside 30 glacier mice to follow their movements. They learned that the mice travelled about 2-5 centimetres a day. 4 Scientists tried to explain this group movement. Surprisingly, no matter south or west, they move to the same direction, as if they are communicating. How strange! Glacier mice are still a mystery to scientists. For their next experiment, the scientists said they would use cameras to take pictures of the movements of the mice over a long period of time. 5 A．In fact, they are not real mice. B．Glacier mice are small, but they are important. C．Others can reach the size of a small apple. D．For example, they can be found in many high mountains around the world. E．Are you looking forward to getting the answer? F．Sometimes they move south and sometimes west. 五、任务型阅读 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 People depend on plants. We use plants for food, clothes and even the air we breathe. Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe. Plants are also part of the water cycle. Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air. Plants give us a lot of food on the Earth. Fruits, vegetables and grains come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the Earth as well. When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket! Plants are quite important to humans and the Earth. Without plants, the Earth would be a very different place. 1．What do we use plants for according to Paragraph 1? _________________________________________________ 2．Where does most of the water that a plant takes in go? _________________________________________________ 3．Why does growing your own fruits and vegetables help reduce the amount of rubbish? _________________________________________________ 4．In your opinion, what else can plants do for human beings?
