A terrible storm swept (横扫) through the mountain the night before, and his once hopeful fields were now in a complete mess. His beans were all in the water. His neighbor, a kind young man named Thomas who lived near him, came to give a hand. “This is a disaster,” the farmer said. “My family has always been able to live on the harvests of the crops. I don’t know what to do now.” Thomas thought for a minute. “I see this not as a disaster but as an opportunity (机会),” he said softly. The farmer looked at him in surprise. “How can this be an opportunity?” he asked. Thomas smiled. “Now you have an opportunity to try something new. You’ve always grown beans. Why not try planting different crops?” he said. The farmer thought about this. Thomas was right — he had become set in his ways. This disaster could push him to make his farm sustainable (可持续的) in new ways. “You have given me hope again,” the farmer said. He clapped Thomas on the back. “Thank you for showing me the opportunity in this difficulty. My farm will be better for it.” And so the farmer planted new crops and introduced more diversity (多样性) to his farm. Although the storm destroyed one harvest, it ended up saving more, for in every difficulty lies an opportunity, if we can see it. 1. Why did the farmer feel sad? A. He had a fight with his neighbor Thomas. B. A terrible storm destroyed his crops. C. His family refused to help him with the farm. D. He couldn’t find new crops to plant. 2. What did Thomas think of the storm damage? A. A disaster that could not be fixed. B. A good chance to try growing new crops. C. A punishment for the farmer’s mistakes. D. An accident that needed government help. 3. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? ①Thomas suggested the farmer plant new kinds of crops. ②A terrible storm destroyed the old farmer’s bean fields. ③The farmer understood difficulties could turn into opportunities. ④The old farmer felt sad and didn’t know what to do. A. ②④①③ B. ②①④③ C. ④②①③ D. ④①②③ 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Terrible Storm in the Valley B. An Old Farmer and His Crops C. Opportunity in Difficulty D. A Kind Young Neighbour Thomas B The she-wolf and One-Eye walked for two days. The she-wolf was still searching for something. One-Eye knew what she was looking for. They came to the opening of a cave (洞穴). The she-wolf went inside. One-eye waited at the mouth of the cave and lay in the sun. The she-wolf walked deeper into the cave. Inside, it was larger. And it was warm and dry. The opening was small enough for her to stop anything dangerous from coming inside. She found what she needed. One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled (吼叫) at him, and he quickly backed out. He was hungry, so he decided to hunt. Later, he got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male wolves sometimes ate their cubs. One-Eye was not that kind of wolf. He knew he had to find food for his mate and cubs. He left to hunt again. Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it, it rolled itself into a ball. One-Eye knew it was a porcupine (豪猪), an animal with sharp spines. He had to give up. He came to the riverside and caught a bird. He was hungry and began to eat the bird. He remembered the she-wolf and cubs in the cave and stopped eating. He picked up the dead bird and began to carry it back to the cave. Then One-Eye saw the porcupine again. A lynx was watching secretly. The lynx was waiting for the right moment to attack the porcupine. The porcupine thought it was safe and began to unroll (展开). When it unrolled, the lynx ran to the porcupine and tried to bite it. The porcupine quickly rolled itself up again and shot sharp spines into the lynx. The lynx jumped into the air in great pain and then ran away quickly. The porcupine was badly hurt and half rolled up. One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave. The she-wolf let him come in with the food. She knew now that he was not the kind of mate who would eat the cubs. She knew he would take care of her and the wolf cubs. —Adapted from White Fang 1.

He gave it to the lynx. 5. What does the story mainly show us about One-Eye? A. He was a lazy wolf that didn’t like hunting. B. He was a brave wolf and afraid of no animals. C. He was a clever and trustworthy father and mate. D. He was a good hunter that wanted to eat the cubs. C Hi! I’m Wisdom, the world’s oldest wild bird. Though I am 74 years old, I’m still laying eggs! On November 26, 2024, I returned to my favorite home on Midway Atoll and laid one more egg. Not bad for an old bird, huh? Midway Atoll is an island in the big Pacific Ocean. Every year, about 1.3 million of Laysan albatrosses (黑背信天翁) like me come together here. We spend most of our lives flying over the ocean, but we always come back here to raise our baby birds. Back in 1956, scientists put a little band on my leg with the number Z333 to study me more easily. They guessed I was 5 years old at the time, the youngest age we can lay eggs. They follow me all the time. Most Laysan albatrosses live 12 to 40 years, so I am like a bird superstar. My leg band was changed six times because I lived longer than people thought I would! Laysan albatrosses usually choose one partner (伴侣) for life, but I lived longer than many of my partners. For years, I stayed with Akeakamai, but he went away some time ago. In 2024, I found a new partner, and on November 26, we laid an egg together. My partner and I are taking turns sitting on the egg, keeping it warm. If it breaks open and a baby bird comes out in February, we will spend about seven months feeding and protecting the baby bird until it is ready to fly. It is a lot of work, but I did it many times before — scientists say I laid 50 to 60 eggs in my lifetime, and I had 30 to 36 baby birds. My last baby bird was born in 2021 when I was 70. Oh, and fun fact: in 2017, scientists saw one of my grown children building a home nearby. I may be a mom, grandma, and even great-grandma by now. At 74, I am still flying strong, raising baby birds, and showing to everyone that age is just a number. Let’s see if this egg can work well — I might have a new baby bird to add to my bird family! 1. According to the article, who is introducing this article to us? A. A hunter living on the island. B. A writer visiting Midway Atoll. C. Wisdom, the bird itself. D. A birdwatcher studying birds. 2. How old was Wisdom when the scientists studied her the first time? A. When she was five years old. B. When she was twelve years old. C. When she was forty years old. D. When she was seventy-four years old. 3. Which is the correct order of these events in the story? ①Wisdom’s last baby bird was born. ②Scientists put a band on Wisdom’s leg. ③Wisdom found a new partner and laid an egg together. ④Scientists saw Wisdom’s grown child building a home nearby. A. ②④③① B. ②④①③ C. ④②③① D. ④②①③ 4. From the article, we know ____ . A. Wisdom never changes her partner. B. Wisdom only lays one egg every year. C. Wisdom lives longer than most Laysan albatrosses. D. Wisdom’s leg band was changed five times. 5. What is the best title for this article? A. My Bird Family B. How Birds Lay Eggs C. Life on Midway Atoll D. All about Me: The Oldest Wild Bird D Nature reserves provide the best home for wild animals with warm weather, water, plants and wetlands. Now, the AI system in reserves plays an important role in studying wildlife. Instead of using binoculars (望远镜), people can watch animals’ activities on big screens. The AI system can be very helpful. First, it can recognize different animals by their tails, feet, or beaks and count their numbers. Second, it can record animals’ actions all day and night, which humans couldn’t do before. It also notices unusual behaviors. For example, if an animal moves strangely or lies still for too long, the system will warn researchers to help quickly. Besides, it keeps unauthorized (未经许可) people out of protected areas and teaches visitors about wildlife. But there are still problems to be solved. For example, sometimes the AI system mixes up one animal with another. It might mistake plants for animals and provide wrong information for researchers. Also, because the system isn’t used everywhere in reserves, people still need to check some areas themselves. To improve the AI system, nature reserves are working with high-tech companies to make the system better and cover more areas. Although the AI system isn’t perfect, it works faster and protects animals more effectively than old tools. Most importantly, it helps keep the natural ecosystem in balance. 1. What is the main use of the AI system in nature reserves? A. To build warm homes for wild animals. B. To help study and protect wildlife. C. To teach researchers how to use binoculars. D. To stop visitors from entering the reserves. 2. Which of the following is NOT an advantage (优点) of the AI system? A. It can recognize animals by their body parts and count them. B. It can record animals’ actions non-stop day and night. C. It can always provide completely correct information for researchers. D. It can warn researchers of animals’ unusual behaviors. 3. Which word is close to the underlined word “effectively”? A. quickly B. successfully C. mainly D. loudly 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. The AI system has solved all the problems in nature reserves. B. The AI system works slower than the old tools like binoculars. C. Nature reserves are working with high-tech companies to improve the AI system. D. The AI system is used in every corner of the nature reserves now. 四、根据括号中所给的汉语或首字母提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1.

Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, it has to brave both the Arctic’s cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area’s polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy. Only a few bears come near to the village now and then. But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever. Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing. Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy. In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears. Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears. 回答下面问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 1. Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last winter? ___________________________________________________________ 2. What can polar bears do on the sea ice? ___________________________________________________________ 3. When do polar bears normally go onto dry land? ___________________________________________________________ 4. What will probably happen if there is not enough ice? ___________________________________________________________ 5. What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage? ___________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026年译林8AUnit 7 The natural world提优练习 一、单项填空 1.

A terrible storm swept (横扫) through the mountain the night before, and his once hopeful fields were now in a complete mess. His beans were all in the water. His neighbor, a kind young man named Thomas who lived near him, came to give a hand. “This is a disaster,” the farmer said. “My family has always been able to live on the harvests of the crops. I don’t know what to do now.” Thomas thought for a minute. “I see this not as a disaster but as an opportunity (机会),” he said softly. The farmer looked at him in surprise. “How can this be an opportunity?” he asked. Thomas smiled. “Now you have an opportunity to try something new. You’ve always grown beans. Why not try planting different crops?” he said. The farmer thought about this. Thomas was right — he had become set in his ways. This disaster could push him to make his farm sustainable (可持续的) in new ways. “You have given me hope again,” the farmer said. He clapped Thomas on the back. “Thank you for showing me the opportunity in this difficulty. My farm will be better for it.” And so the farmer planted new crops and introduced more diversity (多样性) to his farm.

The she-wolf was still searching for something. One-Eye knew what she was looking for. They came to the opening of a cave (洞穴). The she-wolf went inside. One-eye waited at the mouth of the cave and lay in the sun. The she-wolf walked deeper into the cave. Inside, it was larger. And it was warm and dry. The opening was small enough for her to stop anything dangerous from coming inside. She found what she needed. One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled (吼叫) at him, and he quickly backed out. He was hungry, so he decided to hunt. Later, he got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male wolves sometimes ate their cubs. One-Eye was not that kind of wolf. He knew he had to find food for his mate and cubs. He left to hunt again. Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it, it rolled itself into a ball. One-Eye knew it was a porcupine (豪猪), an animal with sharp spines. He had to give up. He came to the riverside and caught a bird. He was hungry and began to eat the bird. He remembered the she-wolf and cubs in the cave and stopped eating. He picked up the dead bird and began to carry it back to the cave. Then One-Eye saw the porcupine again. A lynx was watching secretly. The lynx was waiting for the right moment to attack the porcupine. The porcupine thought it was safe and began to unroll (展开). When it unrolled, the lynx ran to the porcupine and tried to bite it. The porcupine quickly rolled itself up again and shot sharp spines into the lynx. The lynx jumped into the air in great pain and then ran away quickly. The porcupine was badly hurt and half rolled up. One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave. The she-wolf let him come in with the food. She knew now that he was not the kind of mate who would eat the cubs. She knew he would take care of her and the wolf cubs. —Adapted from White Fang 1.

On November 26, 2024, I returned to my favorite home on Midway Atoll and laid one more egg. Not bad for an old bird, huh? Midway Atoll is an island in the big Pacific Ocean. Every year, about 1.3 million of Laysan albatrosses (黑背信天翁) like me come together here. We spend most of our lives flying over the ocean, but we always come back here to raise our baby birds. Back in 1956, scientists put a little band on my leg with the number Z333 to study me more easily. They guessed I was 5 years old at the time, the youngest age we can lay eggs. They follow me all the time. Most Laysan albatrosses live 12 to 40 years, so I am like a bird superstar. My leg band was changed six times because I lived longer than people thought I would! Laysan albatrosses usually choose one partner (伴侣) for life, but I lived longer than many of my partners. For years, I stayed with Akeakamai, but he went away some time ago. In 2024, I found a new partner, and on November 26, we laid an egg together. My partner and I are taking turns sitting on the egg, keeping it warm. If it breaks open and a baby bird comes out in February, we will spend about seven months feeding and protecting the baby bird until it is ready to fly. It is a lot of work, but I did it many times before — scientists say I laid 50 to 60 eggs in my lifetime, and I had 30 to 36 baby birds. My last baby bird was born in 2021 when I was 70. Oh, and fun fact: in 2017, scientists saw one of my grown children building a home nearby. I may be a mom, grandma, and even great-grandma by now. At 74, I am still flying strong, raising baby birds, and showing to everyone that age is just a number. Let’s see if this egg can work well — I might have a new baby bird to add to my bird family! 1. According to the article, who is introducing this article to us? A. A hunter living on the island. B. A writer visiting Midway Atoll. C. Wisdom, the bird itself. D. A birdwatcher studying birds. 2. How old was Wisdom when the scientists studied her the first time? A. When she was five years old. B. When she was twelve years old. C. When she was forty years old. D. When she was seventy-four years old. 3. Which is the correct order of these events in the story? ①Wisdom’s last baby bird was born. ②Scientists put a band on Wisdom’s leg. ③Wisdom found a new partner and laid an egg together. ④Scientists saw Wisdom’s grown child building a home nearby. A. ②④③① B. ②④①③ C. ④②③① D. ④②①③ 4. From the article, we know ____ . A. Wisdom never changes her partner. B. Wisdom only lays one egg every year. C. Wisdom lives longer than most Laysan albatrosses. D. Wisdom’s leg band was changed five times. 5. What is the best title for this article? A. My Bird Family B. How Birds Lay Eggs C. Life on Midway Atoll D.

Now, the AI system in reserves plays an important role in studying wildlife. Instead of using binoculars (望远镜), people can watch animals’ activities on big screens. The AI system can be very helpful. First, it can recognize different animals by their tails, feet, or beaks and count their numbers. Second, it can record animals’ actions all day and night, which humans couldn’t do before. It also notices unusual behaviors. For example, if an animal moves strangely or lies still for too long, the system will warn researchers to help quickly. Besides, it keeps unauthorized (未经许可) people out of protected areas and teaches visitors about wildlife. But there are still problems to be solved. For example, sometimes the AI system mixes up one animal with another. It might mistake plants for animals and provide wrong information for researchers. Also, because the system isn’t used everywhere in reserves, people still need to check some areas themselves. To improve the AI system, nature reserves are working with high-tech companies to make the system better and cover more areas. Although the AI system isn’t perfect, it works faster and protects animals more effectively than old tools. Most importantly, it helps keep the natural ecosystem in balance. 1. What is the main use of the AI system in nature reserves? A. To build warm homes for wild animals. B. To help study and protect wildlife. C. To teach researchers how to use binoculars. D. To stop visitors from entering the reserves. 2. Which of the following is NOT an advantage (优点) of the AI system? A. It can recognize animals by their body parts and count them. B. It can record animals’ actions non-stop day and night. C. It can always provide completely correct information for researchers. D. It can warn researchers of animals’ unusual behaviors. 3. Which word is close to the underlined word “effectively”? A. quickly B. successfully C. mainly D. loudly 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. The AI system has solved all the problems in nature reserves. B. The AI system works slower than the old tools like binoculars. C. Nature reserves are working with high-tech companies to improve the AI system. D. The AI system is used in every corner of the nature reserves now. 【答案】BCBC 【解析】本文主要介绍了人工智能系统在自然保护区帮助研究和保护野生动物。 1. 题干句意：人工智能系统在自然保护区的主要用途是什么？A. 为野生动物建造温暖的家园；B. 帮助研究和保护野生动物；C. 教研究人员如何使用双目望远镜；D. 阻止游客进入保护区。根据第1段“Now, the AI system in reserves plays an important role in studying wildlife.（现在，保护区的人工智能系统在研究野生动物方面发挥着重要作用。）”可知，保护区里的人工智能系统的主要用途是帮助研究和保护野生动物，故选B。 2. 题干句意：以下哪项不是人工智能系统的优势？A. 它可以通过身体部位识别动物并计数；B. 它可以日夜不停地记录动物的行为；C. 它总是能为研究人员提供完全正确的信息；D. 它可以警告研究人员动物的异常行为。根据第2段“First, it can recognize different animals by their tails, feet, or beaks and count their numbers.（首先，它可以通过它们的尾巴、脚或喙来识别不同的动物，并计算它们的数量。）”可知，它可以识别动物并计数，故A项正确；根据第2段“Second, it can record animals’ actions all day and night, which humans couldn’t do before.（第二，它可以日夜不停地记录动物的行为，这是人类以前无法做到的。）”可知，它可以日夜不停地记录动物的行为，故B项正确；根据第2段“It also notices unusual behaviors.

Only a few bears come near to the village now and then. But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever. Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing. Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy. In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears. Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears. 回答下面问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 1. Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last winter? ___________________________________________________________ 2.
