I’ll do it in a “bain-marie” or, well, some people call it “water bath”. I myself love the name “bain-marie”. To make a “bain-marie”, you need two pots (锅), one bigger than the other. First, break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in the smaller pot. Usually when making chocolate desserts, you’ll need to mix chocolate with butter and sugar. So if you do it, put them in the pot too. Now, fill half of the bigger pot with warm water. Put the smaller pot over the bigger one, and start to slowly mix the chocolate, the butter, and the sugar together. Keep the water under 50℃ , or the chocolate may lose its shine. And make sure that no water goes in the smaller pot, or the chocolate will become hard and cannot be used. Keep mixing for about five to ten minutes, and the job is done. Easy, right? 11．What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2? A．Bains-marie. B．Butter and sugar. C．Chocolate desserts.

Leng Guangmian, an artist, thinks it’s not easy to finish such an artwork. It takes time. But this art is very meaningful. He keeps on making more people know a lot about this art.

Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 26 Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 27 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.” 28 A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First 29 Of the people surveyed who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems; for example, 44% reported incidents such as starting a fire or falling off a roof or ladder.

And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. 30 And make sure you have the necessary（必要的）skills to complete each step.

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardening is a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience,” Hobart says. She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and find worms—especially if their teachers are excited about it— is important,” Hobart says. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,” Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 54．Where do the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 55．What can schools do without garden space? 56．What do you think of doing gardening in your school? Why? 七、书面表达。(共25分) 假如你是李华，你的交换生朋友Kevin很喜欢你亲手做的小礼物，他来信询问制作过程，请你给他回信，内容包括： （1）你送的礼物是什么； （2）你送此礼物的原因； （3）制作的方法或过程。 注意: （1）词数90左右，信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息。 Dear Kevin, I am glad that you like the small gift I made by myself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 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 4 Hands-on fun·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。 Are you interested in collecting pictures or any other things?

Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 26 Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 27 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.” 28 A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First 29 Of the people surveyed who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems; for example, 44% reported incidents such as starting a fire or falling off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools to protect yourself. Skipping（跳过）Important Steps Skipping a key step can end your whole DIY project. And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. 30 And make sure you have the necessary（必要的）skills to complete each step. A．Using the Wrong Tools B．Not Attending DIY Lessons C．You may need to think twice. D．DIY mistakes can also be dangerous. E．Read all instructions carefully before you begin. F．Here are four biggest mistakes that homeowners often make. G．It’s easy to do our DIY projects if we are careful. 【答案】26．F 27．C 28．A 29．D 30．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了家装DIY项目常会出错，统计显示近八成业主自行装修时会失误，并列举业主最常犯的四类DIY错误及对应注意事项。 【详解】26．首段指出调研数据：“Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY.”，后文分四类错误展开介绍，因此此处总起引出业主常犯的四类DIY失误。 27．本段主题为承接上文的“承接过多DIY工程”，说明不少人低估DIY难度和成本，专家提醒要三思而后行。 28．本段核心内容为：使用不匹配工具开展DIY，工具误用易受伤。 29．本段小标题为Not Safety First，后文列举火灾、高空坠落等危险事故，说明DIY失误会带来安全隐患。 30．本段主题为跳过关键步骤会导致工程出错，后文补充要掌握操作技能，因此空格处提示仔细阅读全部操作说明。 四、词汇运用。(本大题共13小题，每小题1分，共13分) 第一节 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给的汉语注释或首字母提示，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31．Sometimes I get bad ________ (分数) at school, and I feel sad. 31．marks 【详解】句意：有时候我在学校成绩不好，我感到很难过。mark“分数”，此处用复数形式，表示概数概念。故填marks。 32．We didn’t go to the park. I________, we stayed at home and watched TV. 32．Instead/nstead 【详解】句意：我们没有去公园。相反，我们待在家里看电视。前后两句存在转折对比关系，instead意为“相反、取而代之”，置于句首首字母大写。 33．It’s i________ for us to live in space because there is no air in it. 33．impossible/mpossible 【详解】句意：对我们来说住在太空是不可能的，因为里面没有空气。句中“It’s + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”是固定句型，意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”，空格处应填入一个形容词作表语。根据后半句“because there is no air in it”这一客观事实推断，人类无法在太空中生存，结合首字母i提示，应用形容词impossible（不可能的）。 34．Jenny ________ (tie) her dog to one of the trees before she got into the shop. 34．tied 【详解】句意：珍妮进商店前把她的狗拴在一棵树上。根据“before she got into the shop”可知，此处应用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式，故填tied。 35．It can be ________ (危险的) for the people to give food to wild animals. 35．dangerous 【详解】句意：给野生动物喂食对人们来说是危险的。dangerous “危险的”，在句中作表语，故填dangerous。 36．John used different ________ (方法) to solve the math problems quickly and correctly. 36．methods 【详解】句意：约翰用不同的方法快速准确地解出了数学题。根据汉语提示可知，method“方法”，可数名词，由“different”可知，此处用复数形式。故填methods。 37．If you don’t know how to use this modern machine, you can read the clear ________ /ɪn’strʌkʃənz/. 37．instructions 【详解】句意：如果你不知道如何使用这台现代机器，可以阅读清晰的说明书。根据题意和音标提示可知，/ɪn’strʌkʃənz/英文表达为instructions“说明”，名词。故填instructions。 38．Zhang Guimei is a(n) ________ (usual) teacher. She set up the first free girls’ high school in 2008. 38．unusual 【详解】句意：张桂梅是一位不寻常的老师。她在2008年创办了第一所免费女子高中。根据“She set up the first free girls’ high school in 2008.”可知，张桂梅创办了第一所免费女子高中，此处是指她是一位不寻常的老师；又根据“a(n)...teacher”可知，横线处需填形容词，usual“通常的”，形容词，其反义词为unusual，意为“不寻常的”。故填unusual。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入其正确形式。每个单词或短语仅用一次。 shelf   lucky   fill with   perfect   put together    39．Our team’s performance in the competition was , but we learned to accept mistakes and improve. 40．Li Jun was because his car broke down yesterday. 41．I’d like to buy two to hold all of my books. 42．Life is difficulties.

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardening is a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience,” Hobart says. She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and find worms—especially if their teachers are excited about it— is important,” Hobart says. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,” Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 54．Where do the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 55．What can schools do without garden space? 56．What do you think of doing gardening in your school? Why? 【答案】 54．From local botanical gardens and their communities. 55．They can turn to local botanical gardens and parks. 56．It is important and interesting. Because students can grow different plants they like 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国的园艺课程以及老师和学校对它的看法。 【详解】 54．根据“We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.”可知，他们的种子来自当地的植物园和社区。故填From local botanical gardens and their communities. 55．根据“For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice.”可知，没有小花园的学校可以去当地的植物园和公园。故填They can turn to local botanical gardens and parks. 56．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为It is important and interesting. 七、书面表达。(共25分) 假如你是李华，你的交换生朋友Kevin很喜欢你亲手做的小礼物，他来信询问制作过程，请你给他回信，内容包括： （1）你送的礼物是什么； （2）你送此礼物的原因； （3）制作的方法或过程。 注意: （1）词数90左右，信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息。 Dear Kevin, I am glad that you like the small gift I made by myself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文： Dear Kevin, I am glad that you like the small gift I made by myself.

I’ll do it in a “bain-marie” or, well, some people call it “water bath”. I myself love the name “bain-marie”. To make a “bain-marie”, you need two pots (锅), one bigger than the other. First, break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in the smaller pot. Usually when making chocolate desserts, you’ll need to mix chocolate with butter and sugar. So if you do it, put them in the pot too. Now, fill half of the bigger pot with warm water. Put the smaller pot over the bigger one, and start to slowly mix the chocolate, the butter, and the sugar together. Keep the water under 50℃ , or the chocolate may lose its shine. And make sure that no water goes in the smaller pot, or the chocolate will become hard and cannot be used. Keep mixing for about five to ten minutes, and the job is done. Easy, right? 11．What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2? A．Bains-marie. B．Butter and sugar. C．Chocolate desserts.

Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 26 Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 27 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.” 28 A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them.

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardening is a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience,” Hobart says. She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and find worms—especially if their teachers are excited about it— is important,” Hobart says. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,” Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 54．Where do the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 55．What can schools do without garden space? 56．What do you think of doing gardening in your school? Why? 七、书面表达。(共25分) 假如你是李华，你的交换生朋友Kevin很喜欢你亲手做的小礼物，他来信询问制作过程，请你给他回信，内容包括： （1）你送的礼物是什么； （2）你送此礼物的原因； （3）制作的方法或过程。 注意: （1）词数90左右，信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息。 Dear Kevin, I am glad that you like the small gift I made by myself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 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 $
