They have grey or yellow fur and sharp teeth, which make them look really powerful. Lions can run fast and are good at hunting. They live in groups on grasslands and seldom move far. They are meat-eating animals. But now lions face great danger. People hunt them, and grasslands are turned into farms and roads, so they lose their warm homes. To protect them, we should make laws to stop hunting and build more nature reserves. Let’s work together to save lovely lions! 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年八年级上册英语单元自测·苏州专用 Unit 5 Wild animals·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：100分钟，满分：100分） 一、完形填空。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出一个最佳选项。 The ocean sunfish is one of the heaviest bony fish in the world.

There I saw a special crab (螃蟹). It had two claws (蟹钳). One claw was much bigger and longer than the other. I had never seen such a crab before. So on my way home from the beach, I walked into the library. Luckily, I found a book named Come with Me to the Edge of the Sea. It had many pictures of animals living near the sea. The pictures of male fiddler crabs (招潮蟹) looked quite like the crab I found on the beach. I learned a lot about that kind of crab. Sometimes a fiddler crab puts the small claw across the big one. It looks like it is playing the fiddle(小提琴) when it does this, so some people call it the fiddler crab. Sometimes it waves its big claw. It looks like it is saying hello. That’s why other people call it the calling crab. Fiddler crabs’ eyes are on long eye stalks (眼柄). They can put up their eye stalks to look around. It makes them look taller.These crabs are very small. There are lots of other bigger beach animals that want to eat them. They dig holes in the sand. The holes are their homes. They are safe inside. Sometimes the sea water can bring food into their holes. 11．The fiddler crabs get their name because________ A．they look like fiddles B．they like playing the fiddle C．their claws move like playing the violin D．they wave their big claws 12．Which of the following about the fiddler crabs’ homes is TRUE? A．They find holes on the beach to stay in. B．Their homes are usually under the sea. C．They mainly get their food from their homes. D．They can hide in the holes they dig in the sand. 13．We may find this passage in a(n) ________. A．Advertisement B．instruction C．magazine D．poster 【答案】11．C 12．D 13．C 【导语】本文记叙作者在海滩发现招潮蟹，前往图书馆查阅相关书籍，介绍招潮蟹外形、习性、生存方式。 【详解】11．根据原文第三段“Sometimes a fiddler crab puts the small claw across the big one. It looks like it is playing the fiddle (小提琴) when it does this, so some people call it the fiddler crab.”可知，招潮蟹得名是因为它钳子的动作看起来像拉小提琴。 12．根据原文第三段“They dig holes in the sand. The holes are their homes. They are safe inside.”可知，招潮蟹会自己在沙里挖洞，躲在洞中保证安全。 13．本文是一篇科普类叙事短文，介绍海滩生物招潮蟹的相关知识，这类文章最可能出现在杂志。 B Animals are people’s good friends. Many people hope to talk with their pets in everyday life. This may sound too good to be true, but scientists are now using AI to help make this dream come true. Karen Bakker, a teacher at the University of British Columbia in Canada, believes that AI will bring humans closer to the world of animals and plants in the future. “AI helps humans talk with bats and bees,” Bakker said. How does it work? When bats talk with each other, scientists first record their sounds and input (输入) them into a computer. Then, they use AI to find out what the bats say and try to speak back to them. Humans cannot hear these sounds with their own ears, but AI makes it possible for us to understand and “speak” back to the bats by training a computer to “speak” like a bat. Scientists also found an interesting fact: When baby bats start to learn to “speak”, mother bats often lower their voices. However, human mothers often raise their voices during this time. As for bees, scientists use a computer to both listen to and watch them in order to study their language. Scientists now know how bees send messages like “stop”. They even made a robot bee that can talk with other bees. 14．How do scientists study bat communication according to the passage? A．By training bats to understand human languages. B．By recording bat sounds and analyzing them with AI. C．By using robots to directly talk to bats in their language. D．By teaching bats to use computers to send messages. 15．What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A．How bats talk to each other. B．Why people hope to talk with bats. C．How people use AI to talk with bats. D．Why humans can’t hear the bats’ sounds with their own ears. 16．Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the passage? A．Humans can hear bat sounds without AI technology. B．Karen Bakker believes AI will separate humans from nature. C．Bats and bees use the same language to send messages. D．Scientists created a robot bee to communicate with real bees. 17．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②/③④⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①②③/④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 【答案】14．B 15．C 16．D 17．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能能够帮助人类和动物交流，分别讲解科学家利用AI研究蝙蝠、蜜蜂的沟通方式与相关研究成果。 【详解】14．文章第3段“When bats talk with each other, scientists first record their sounds and input (输入) them into a computer. Then, they use AI to find out what the bats say and try to speak back to them.”表明科学家通过录制蝙蝠声音并用人工智能分析来研究蝙蝠的交流。 15．文章第2段“When bats talk with each other, scientists first record their sounds and input (输入) them into a computer...and ‘speak’ back to the bats by training a computer to ‘speak’ like a bat.”先介绍科学家录制蝙蝠声音，输入电脑，AI通过训练电脑实现和蝙蝠“对话”，整段围绕人类如何利用人工智能和蝙蝠交流展开。 16．文章最后一段“They even made a robot bee that can talk with other bees.”表明科学家制造了机器蜜蜂与真蜜蜂交流，D选项表述正确。 17．通读全文，第①段总起，引出AI助力人类和动物交流；第②段总述专家观点，提出AI可实现人与蝙蝠、蜜蜂沟通并抛出问题；第③④段介绍蝙蝠相关研究；第⑤段介绍蜜蜂相关研究。文章结构为①总起 /②过渡引入 /③④⑤分述两种动物研究，对应①/②/③④⑤。 C Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead (前方) far into the sea when they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouth when they are ready to sleep. Then there’s a bubble around them. The bubble protects them when they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (储存的) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot and dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy (叶茂的) places in trees in each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is also ready for work. 18．What animals blow bubbles when they sleep? A．Sea otters. B．Monkeys. C．Desert frogs. D．Parrotfish. 19．What do we know about chipmunks according to the text? A．They rest with their eyes open. B．They wake up about every 2 weeks in winter. C．They never sleep curled up in a ball. D．They don’t eat any food during the whole winter. 20．What is the structure (结构) of the text? (Paragraph1= 1) A． B． C． D． 21．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Forests where monkeys can sleep safely. B．The animals that sleep above the ground. C．The ways that keep animals away from danger. D．The reason why bees climb down into flowers. 【答案】18．D 19．B 20．A 21．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了动物们在劳累后如何休息的各种方式。文章从水生动物、陆地动物到树栖动物，展示了它们独特的睡眠习惯和休息场所，强调了休息对动物的重要性。 【详解】18．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Parrotfish blow something from their mouth when they are ready to sleep. Then there’s a bubble around them. The bubble protects them when they sleep.”可知，鹦鹉鱼在准备睡觉时，会从嘴里吹出气泡，气泡在它们睡觉时保护它们。因此，睡觉时吹气泡的动物是鹦鹉鱼，故选D。 19．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (储存的) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again.”可知，松鼠在冬天每两周醒来一次吃储存的食物，然后再睡两周。因此，我们根据文章了解到松鼠在冬天大约每两周醒来一次，故选B。 20．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述动物休息的方式，第二、三、四段分别介绍了海里、地下和高处动物休息的方式。因此，文章的结构是总分结构，即先总述再分述，故选A。 21．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“High above the ground, monkeys find leafy (叶茂的) places in trees ... A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is also ready for work.”可知，这一段主要谈论的是在空中或高处休息的动物。故选B。 D The first place that I can well remember was a large happy meadow (草原) with a pond (池塘) of clear water in it and some trees around. On one side of the meadow was a field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master’s house by the roadside. While I was young I lived upon my mother’s milk. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. As soon as I was old enough to eat grass my mother often went out to work in the daytime, and came back in the evening. There were six young horses in the meadow besides me. They were older than I was. Some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I often ran with them, and had great fun. Sometimes we had very rough play, for they would bite and kick as well as run. One day, when there was much kicking, my mother said to me kindly. “I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to you. They are good horses, but they have not learned manners. You have been well-born and well-bred. Your father has a great name, and your grandfather won the cup two years running at the Newmarket races. Your grandmother had the sweetest temper (脾气) of any horse I ever knew, and I think you never see me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways.” I never forget my mother’s advice. I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her, Her name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. And on a market day, he always went to the town with my mother. Our master was kind. He spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. He often patted (轻拍) my mother and said, “Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?” I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie. Then he would give me a piece of nice bread. All the horses liked him, but I think we were his favourites. There was a boy, Dick. He sometimes came into our field to pick blackberries. After he ate enough he would play tricks on the horses, throwing stones and sticks at them to make them run. We did not much mind him, for we could run off. But sometimes a stone would hit and hurt us.One day he was at this game. He didn’t know our master was there, watching what was going on. —Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 22．What is TRUE about “my” early life? A．“I” often played by the pond alone. B．“I” could see “my” master’s house in the field. C．“I” stayed with “my” mother all day and night. D．“I” went out to work with “my” mother in the daytime. 23．What could we infer from “my” mother’s words? A．“My” family members all loved “me”. B．“My” family members were all good at running. C．“My” family members were good at kicking and biting. D．“My” family members were famous for good manners. 24．The main function (功能) of Paragraph 5 is to tell readers _______. A．the master had plenty of food to eat B．what “our” daily life was like on the meadow C．the reason why “I” was called Darkie by the master D．what the relationship between the master and “us” was like 25．What would happen in the next part of the passage? A．The master would be hurt by a stone. B．The master would catch Dick and tell him to leave. C．The master would walk away quietly. D．The master would invite Dick to play with the horses. 【答案】22．C 23．D 24．D 25．B 【导语】本文节选自《黑骏马》，以主角黑骏马的视角，讲述了它早年在草原牧场的生活经历，介绍了居住环境、与同伴的玩耍、母亲对它的教养教诲、主人对马匹的善待，最后提到男孩迪克捉弄马匹时，被主人当场看到。 【详解】22．第一段指出：“While I was young I lived upon my mother’s milk. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her.”，说明幼年时期，“我”靠吸食母亲的奶水生存，所以“我”整日整夜都和母亲待在一起。 23．第四段母亲说“Your father has a great name...Your grandmother had the sweetest temper...I think you never see me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and good”，表明“我”父亲有名望，祖母性格温和，母亲自身也从不踢咬，希望“我”养成温和好品行，由此可推知“我”的家人以良好的礼仪教养闻名。 24．第六段描述了主人对马的态度：“Our master was good and kind. He gave us good food. He spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children...All the horses liked him”，说明本段旨在展示主人与马之间的关系。 25．前文明确提到主人十分爱护马匹，最后一段说明Dick扔石头伤害马匹时刚好被主人看到，因此主人接下来最可能阻止Dick的行为，要求他离开。 三、信息还原。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 The Yangtze finless porpoise (长江江豚) is a great creature that lives in the Yangtze River in China. These animals are known for their playful behaviour and curious nature. 26 The Yangtze finless porpoise is an endangered species. There are only a few thousand left in the wild. 27 Efforts are being made to protect these porpoises and their habitat. 28 They eat a variety of fish and shrimp (虾), which they catch by using their sharp teeth.

Some animals need special habitats (栖息地) or food. But foxes can live in all kinds of amazingly different 44 (place) such as deserts, mountains and cities. A city like London can be really busy and 45 (noise), but it still has quiet corners where foxes can sleep. It also has fox food such 46 mice and food from people. Recently some people in 47 (city) have already seen foxes close at hand, but the foxes have never seemed scared. Why? They are so smart that they can even remember all the safe corners where they can escape. If a fox thinks it can run to its safe exit 48 (fast) than you can approach (接近), it will probably just sit down and wait.

Some inventors get ideas from nature to make some useful things. One amazing invention was a  new cane to help blind people. It helps them move around more safely. This invention was an idea from bats. The cane works by sending out sound waves or signals (信号). These signals are almost the same as the bats use when they fly. How bats get around Bats make sounds when they fly at night. People cannot hear these sounds, but they help bats fly in the dark. Bats send sound waves out of their mouth or nose. These sound waves hit objects around them.Then they come back as an echo (回声). The echo tells bats how far away things like trees are. It also helps them know where to find food to eat. An amazing idea The scientist who invented the new cane watched how bats fly. Then he built a lightweight cane. He added something that sends and receives sound waves. Finally, he tested the cane. It worked! _____________ The cane sends out signals. When an echo is sent back, the cane’s handle vibrates (震动). This helps the person holding the cane know how far away an object is. They will also know how big the object is. This cane shows that great ideas really can come from nature. 54．How can some inventors make useful things? 55．What tells bats how far away things are? 56．What subtitle (小标题) can you put in the blank? 【答案】54．By getting ideas from nature. 55．The echo. 56．A new cane from bats./The bat-inspired cane. 【导语】本文介绍了科学家从蝙蝠身上获得灵感，发明了一种帮助盲人更安全行走的新拐杖。 【详解】54．第一段提到一些发明家从自然中获得灵感来制造有用的东西“get ideas from nature to make some useful things”，答案是原文直接信息。 55．第二段提到回声告诉蝙蝠物体有多远“The echo tells bats how far away things...”，答案是原文直接信息。 56．开放题，答案不唯一。本段文字讲解这款拐杖的工作方式，小标题需简洁概括段落内容，也可关联蝙蝠灵感。可拟为“A new cane from bats”或“The bat-inspired cane”，合理即可。 七、书面表达。(共25分) 本周是学校的“爱护野生动物周”。请你根据下面的材料，为班级板报写一篇关于狮子的简要介绍。Appearance: big and strong, grey or yellow fur, sharp teeth Abilities: run fast, good at hunting Lifestyle/Characters: live in groups, mainly live on the grassland, don’t often move around, meat-eating animals Problems: people hunt them, change grasslands into farms and roads Action to protect them: ... 要求:1.内容充实，覆盖要点,可以进行合理补充;2.词数不少于80,开头已经给出,不计入总词数。 Lions are big and strong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Lions are big and strong.

There I saw a special crab (螃蟹). It had two claws (蟹钳). One claw was much bigger and longer than the other. I had never seen such a crab before. So on my way home from the beach, I walked into the library. Luckily, I found a book named Come with Me to the Edge of the Sea. It had many pictures of animals living near the sea. The pictures of male fiddler crabs (招潮蟹) looked quite like the crab I found on the beach. I learned a lot about that kind of crab. Sometimes a fiddler crab puts the small claw across the big one. It looks like it is playing the fiddle(小提琴) when it does this, so some people call it the fiddler crab. Sometimes it waves its big claw. It looks like it is saying hello. That’s why other people call it the calling crab. Fiddler crabs’ eyes are on long eye stalks (眼柄). They can put up their eye stalks to look around. It makes them look taller.These crabs are very small. There are lots of other bigger beach animals that want to eat them. They dig holes in the sand. The holes are their homes. They are safe inside. Sometimes the sea water can bring food into their holes. 11．The fiddler crabs get their name because________ A．they look like fiddles B．they like playing the fiddle C．their claws move like playing the violin D．they wave their big claws 12．Which of the following about the fiddler crabs’ homes is TRUE? A．They find holes on the beach to stay in. B．Their homes are usually under the sea. C．They mainly get their food from their homes. D．They can hide in the holes they dig in the sand. 13．We may find this passage in a(n) ________. A．Advertisement B．instruction C．magazine D．poster B Animals are people’s good friends. Many people hope to talk with their pets in everyday life. This may sound too good to be true, but scientists are now using AI to help make this dream come true. Karen Bakker, a teacher at the University of British Columbia in Canada, believes that AI will bring humans closer to the world of animals and plants in the future. “AI helps humans talk with bats and bees,” Bakker said. How does it work? When bats talk with each other, scientists first record their sounds and input (输入) them into a computer. Then, they use AI to find out what the bats say and try to speak back to them. Humans cannot hear these sounds with their own ears, but AI makes it possible for us to understand and “speak” back to the bats by training a computer to “speak” like a bat. Scientists also found an interesting fact: When baby bats start to learn to “speak”, mother bats often lower their voices. However, human mothers often raise their voices during this time. As for bees, scientists use a computer to both listen to and watch them in order to study their language. Scientists now know how bees send messages like “stop”. They even made a robot bee that can talk with other bees. 14．How do scientists study bat communication according to the passage? A．By training bats to understand human languages. B．By recording bat sounds and analyzing them with AI. C．By using robots to directly talk to bats in their language. D．By teaching bats to use computers to send messages. 15．What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A．How bats talk to each other. B．Why people hope to talk with bats. C．How people use AI to talk with bats. D．Why humans can’t hear the bats’ sounds with their own ears. 16．Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the passage? A．Humans can hear bat sounds without AI technology. B．Karen Bakker believes AI will separate humans from nature. C．Bats and bees use the same language to send messages. D．Scientists created a robot bee to communicate with real bees. 17．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②/③④⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①②③/④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ C Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead (前方) far into the sea when they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouth when they are ready to sleep. Then there’s a bubble around them. The bubble protects them when they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (储存的) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot and dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy (叶茂的) places in trees in each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is also ready for work. 18．What animals blow bubbles when they sleep? A．Sea otters. B．Monkeys. C．Desert frogs. D．Parrotfish. 19．What do we know about chipmunks according to the text? A．They rest with their eyes open. B．They wake up about every 2 weeks in winter. C．They never sleep curled up in a ball. D．They don’t eat any food during the whole winter. 20．What is the structure (结构) of the text? (Paragraph1= 1) A． B． C． D． 21．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Forests where monkeys can sleep safely. B．The animals that sleep above the ground. C．The ways that keep animals away from danger. D．The reason why bees climb down into flowers. D The first place that I can well remember was a large happy meadow (草原) with a pond (池塘) of clear water in it and some trees around. On one side of the meadow was a field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master’s house by the roadside. While I was young I lived upon my mother’s milk. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. As soon as I was old enough to eat grass my mother often went out to work in the daytime, and came back in the evening. There were six young horses in the meadow besides me. They were older than I was. Some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I often ran with them, and had great fun. Sometimes we had very rough play, for they would bite and kick as well as run. One day, when there was much kicking, my mother said to me kindly. “I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to you. They are good horses, but they have not learned manners. You have been well-born and well-bred. Your father has a great name, and your grandfather won the cup two years running at the Newmarket races. Your grandmother had the sweetest temper (脾气) of any horse I ever knew, and I think you never see me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways.” I never forget my mother’s advice. I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her, Her name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. And on a market day, he always went to the town with my mother. Our master was kind. He spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. He often patted (轻拍) my mother and said, “Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?” I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie. Then he would give me a piece of nice bread. All the horses liked him, but I think we were his favourites. There was a boy, Dick. He sometimes came into our field to pick blackberries. After he ate enough he would play tricks on the horses, throwing stones and sticks at them to make them run. We did not much mind him, for we could run off. But sometimes a stone would hit and hurt us.One day he was at this game. He didn’t know our master was there, watching what was going on. —Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 22．What is TRUE about “my” early life? A．“I” often played by the pond alone. B．“I” could see “my” master’s house in the field. C．“I” stayed with “my” mother all day and night. D．“I” went out to work with “my” mother in the daytime. 23．What could we infer from “my” mother’s words? A．“My” family members all loved “me”. B．“My” family members were all good at running. C．“My” family members were good at kicking and biting. D．“My” family members were famous for good manners. 24．The main function (功能) of Paragraph 5 is to tell readers _______. A．the master had plenty of food to eat B．what “our” daily life was like on the meadow C．the reason why “I” was called Darkie by the master D．what the relationship between the master and “us” was like 25．What would happen in the next part of the passage?

A．①/②/③④⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①②③/④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ C Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead (前方) far into the sea when they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouth when they are ready to sleep. Then there’s a bubble around them. The bubble protects them when they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (储存的) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot and dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy (叶茂的) places in trees in each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is also ready for work. 18．What animals blow bubbles when they sleep? A．Sea otters. B．Monkeys. C．Desert frogs.

D The first place that I can well remember was a large happy meadow (草原) with a pond (池塘) of clear water in it and some trees around. On one side of the meadow was a field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master’s house by the roadside. While I was young I lived upon my mother’s milk. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. As soon as I was old enough to eat grass my mother often went out to work in the daytime, and came back in the evening. There were six young horses in the meadow besides me. They were older than I was. Some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I often ran with them, and had great fun. Sometimes we had very rough play, for they would bite and kick as well as run. One day, when there was much kicking, my mother said to me kindly. “I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to you. They are good horses, but they have not learned manners. You have been well-born and well-bred. Your father has a great name, and your grandfather won the cup two years running at the Newmarket races. Your grandmother had the sweetest temper (脾气) of any horse I ever knew, and I think you never see me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways.” I never forget my mother’s advice. I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her, Her name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. And on a market day, he always went to the town with my mother. Our master was kind. He spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. He often patted (轻拍) my mother and said, “Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?” I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie. Then he would give me a piece of nice bread. All the horses liked him, but I think we were his favourites. There was a boy, Dick. He sometimes came into our field to pick blackberries. After he ate enough he would play tricks on the horses, throwing stones and sticks at them to make them run. We did not much mind him, for we could run off. But sometimes a stone would hit and hurt us.One day he was at this game. He didn’t know our master was there, watching what was going on. —Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 22．What is TRUE about “my” early life? A．“I” often played by the pond alone.

Some inventors get ideas from nature to make some useful things. One amazing invention was a  new cane to help blind people. It helps them move around more safely. This invention was an idea from bats. The cane works by sending out sound waves or signals (信号). These signals are almost the same as the bats use when they fly. How bats get around Bats make sounds when they fly at night. People cannot hear these sounds, but they help bats fly in the dark. Bats send sound waves out of their mouth or nose. These sound waves hit objects around them.Then they come back as an echo (回声). The echo tells bats how far away things like trees are. It also helps them know where to find food to eat. An amazing idea The scientist who invented the new cane watched how bats fly. Then he built a lightweight cane. He added something that sends and receives sound waves. Finally, he tested the cane. It worked! _____________ The cane sends out signals. When an echo is sent back, the cane’s handle vibrates (震动). This helps the person holding the cane know how far away an object is. They will also know how big the object is. This cane shows that great ideas really can come from nature. 54．How can some inventors make useful things? 55．What tells bats how far away things are? 56．What subtitle (小标题) can you put in the blank? 七、书面表达。(共25分) 本周是学校的“爱护野生动物周”。请你根据下面的材料，为班级板报写一篇关于狮子的简要介绍。Appearance: big and strong, grey or yellow fur, sharp teeth Abilities: run fast, good at hunting Lifestyle/Characters: live in groups, mainly live on the grassland, don’t often move around, meat-eating animals Problems: people hunt them, change grasslands into farms and roads Action to protect them: ... 要求:1.内容充实，覆盖要点,可以进行合理补充;2.词数不少于80,开头已经给出,不计入总词数。 Lions are big and strong. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
