People cut down forests, so animals lose their homes. Without forests, they have no place to live or find food. Some people also hunt them for money. Wild animals are important to our world. They keep the balance of nature. If they die out, our environment will be harmed. We must take action. We should stop destroying forests. Never buy products made from wild animals. More people should know the importance of protecting wildlife. Let’s work together to save them. 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 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年八年级上册英语单元测试（浙江专用） Unit 4·培优卷（答题卡） 条 码 粘 贴 处 （正面朝上贴在此虚线框内） 姓名：______________班级：______________ 准考证号 注意事项 1、答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚。 2、请将准考证条码粘贴在右侧的[条码粘贴处]的方框内 3、选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整 4、请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出范围的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 5、保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、刮纸刀。 6、填涂样例 正确 [■] 错误 [--][√] [×] 缺考标记 考生禁止填涂缺考标记！只能由监考老师负责用黑色字迹的签字笔填涂。 选择题（请用2B铅笔填涂） 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] [A] [B] [C] [D] 非选择题（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 16题、 17题、 18题、 19题、 20题、 36题、 37题、 38题、 39题、 40题、 41题、 42题、 43题、 44题、 45题、 46题、 47题、 48题、 49题、 50题、 51题、 52题、 53题、 54题、 55题、 56题、 57题、 58题、 59题、 60题、 61题、 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 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年八年级上册英语单元测试（浙江专用） Unit 4·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Animals are important to our world. Governments and organizations work together to protect them. Giant pandas eat bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves and some fruit. They live in the mountains of China and usually live alone. These cute black-and-white animals are loved by people all over the world. Black rhinos mainly live in eastern and southern Africa. They have two horns (角). The number of black rhinos has become smaller. These black rhinos are in great danger now. The snow leopard is a member of the cat family. With their thick fur, they live in the cold mountains of central Asia. However, they’re also facing danger because of human activities. Polar bears just look white, but they don’t have white fur (皮毛). They live in the Arctic (北极). Seals are their main food. But their living environment is getting worse. 1．Which of the following is probably food for giant pandas? A．Apples. B．Chocolate. C．Rice. D．Lions. 2．Where can people find black rhinos? A．In the Arctic.B．In the mountains of Asia.C．In central China. D．In southern Africa. 3．What can we learn from the text? A．Polar bears have white fur. B．Giant pandas usually live in groups. C．The number of black rhinos has increased greatly. D．Snow leopards and cats are in the same family. B People need plants to live. Plants give us food, clothing and oxygen (氧气). Trees, flowers and grass are all plants. Green plants need sun and water to grow. A plant usually has the following parts. Each part has a job to do. Seeds come in many sizes. When seeds are in the earth, they grow slowly and grow into new plants. The roots of a plant usually grow underground. They take in food and water for the plant. The stems grow up from the roots and help the plant to stand. They give food and water to other parts of the plant. Leaves grow out of the stem. How do leaves work? ________ Many flowers are colorful. They help the plant to make seeds. Some plants have fruit. They usually have seeds in fruit. Apples and pears are all fruit. 4．What can plants give us? ①food       ②clothing       ③water      ④oxygen A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 5．How many parts does a plant usually have? A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6. 6．What are the functions (功能) of the stems? A．They help the fruit to make seeds. B．They help to make seeds for the plants. C．They take in food and water for the plant. D．They help the plant to stand and give food and water to other parts of the plant. 7．Which sentence can be put into the “________”? A．They help to make fruit. B．Many animals eat green leaves. C．Green leaves grow very quickly. D．They use the sun to make food for the plant. C Many people around us like keeping cats as their pets. But do you think you know them a lot? Maybe not. Cats like to eat mice and fish for some reason. People kept the earliest cats in Egypt (埃及), mainly because they could catch mice easily. In those days, people in Egypt often ate fish from the Nile River. They shared the fish with their cats. That’s why the smell of fish also interests cats to this day. But there is another reason. Cats need a lot of taurine (牛磺酸) to see clearly at night. And mice and fish just have the taurine they need, so cats eat them because of their own needs. Lots of people like to eat fish, but they might be afraid of fish bones. When you see a cat eating fish, you must have a question: Why are cats not afraid of fish bones? In fact, when cats eat fish, their special tongues (舌头) will help them not to eat fish bones. The cats’ esophaguses (食道) are also different. They can easily spit out fish bones before they reach their stomachs. The reason why cats are afraid of water might go back to their ancestors (祖先). The ancestors of cats had to live outside. When they drank water from the river, they were afraid of being caught by other dangerous animals. So every time they drank it, they were very careful and worried. And this habit still stays in their DNA now. 8．Why do cats do better in eating fish than people? A．Because they are cleverer. B．Because they like eating fish bones. C．Because their stomachs are different. D．Because their tongues and esophaguses are different. 9．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Why cats are afraid of water. B．How cats drink water outside. C．What cats’ ancestors like doing. D．What cats were afraid of in the past. 10．What is the structure (结构) of the passage? (P= Paragraph) A．B． C．D． 11．What’s the best title for the text? A．Fun animals B．Facts about cats C．Best food for cats D．Best pets for people D Chinese scientists have discovered four kinds of Gentiana (龙胆) on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, whose flowers can close within seconds after being touched, making them the most sensitive (敏感的) flowers in the world, according to a recently published study. “The flowers disappeared quickly in front of you,” said Dai Can, one of the scientists who led the study. Some people on Chinese social media said the flowers are the “shyest” in the world. The rapid movement of petals (花瓣) has always been interesting to scientists and nature lovers, as unlike animals, plants are usually static. Leaves of carnivorous (食肉的) plants can react to the touch. Before the Gentiana discoveries, the only known plant to display such behaviour was the sundew plant (茅膏菜). Its green leaves can curl up within 2 to 10 minutes after being touched by a fly. It takes between 4 and 6 days for the leaf to digest (消化) the fly it catches. However, the four kinds of Gentiana take 7 to 210 seconds to close their petals, making them the most sensitive and fast-reacting flowers in the world, the study said. The flowers were discovered in 2020 near a lake in Nagqu, Tibet Autonomous Region. The Gentiana’s flower could protect itself from repeated visits by bumblebees, which have a large body, the study said. Another explanation could be that the plant encourages bumblebees to transfer pollen (传播花粉) among a wider range of flowers, since a closed flower would show them that it has already been visited and that the bees should look for another flower. Wang Qingfeng, a researcher at Wuhan Botanical Garden, said both should be examined further in future studies. 12．The underlined word “static” in the passage probably means “________”. A．very beautiful B．not moving C．having a short life D．enjoyable 13．What can we infer from the passage? A．The plants living in Nagqu can react to the touch. B．The four kinds of Gentiana are endangered plants. C．The sundew plant is a kind of carnivorous plant. D．Bumblebees are harmful to the Gentiana’s flower. 14．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．how the Gentiana’s flower protects itself B．why the Gentiana’s flower closes its petals C．how the Gentiana’s flower encourages bumblebees D．what Wang Qingfeng thinks of the study 15．What is the best title for the passage? A．Facts of four kinds of Gentiana B．Scientists discover the “shyest” flower in the world C．Flowers on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau D．Secrets of carnivorous plants 第二节 任务型阅读（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下面的文章，从下面方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项）。 Hug (拥抱) a tree? Recently, many people have shared their experience of hugging trees online, and they turned to trees to help with their stress. I wrapped my arms around it and rested my face on the trunk. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and felt really calm during that moment. Hugging a tree is a different experience from hugging a person or an animal. Although it sounds strange, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis” (亲生命假说). A US scientist Edward Wilson pointed it out in 1984. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Besides, spending time with trees can reduce your stress hormones (压力荷尔蒙) and make you feel relaxed. These oils protect trees from illnesses and germs. They are also good for human health, because they can make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Also, hugging a tree lets you take a close look at it. Hugging trees gives you a deeper connection (联系) to nature. You begin to enjoy nature more. A．In addition, trees give off some special oils. B．Because of this, you will want to help the environment. C．You can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of its leaves. D．He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. E．A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time. 16． 17． 18． 19． 20．Do you want to hug the trees? Why or why not?

These tree-dwelling marsupials (有袋动物) spend most of their time sleeping—up to 20 hours a day! They have very soft gray fur and big black noses. Baby koalas, called joeys, live in their mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for about six months. Koalas are very picky eaters. They only eat the 21 of certain eucalyptus (桉树) trees. These leaves are tough and poisonous (有毒的) to most animals, but koalas have a special digestive system that can 22 the poison. However, this diet provides very little energy, which is why they sleep so much to 23 energy. Sadly, koala populations are dropping quickly. The biggest threat is habitat loss. As cities grow, many eucalyptus forests are 24 down to make space for new buildings and roads. This means koalas lose their homes and their food supply. Another major problem is climate change. Severe droughts and bushfires have 25 millions of hectares of koala habitat in recent years. When koalas lose their homes, they are forced to travel across open land, where they are in great 26 . They might get hit by cars or attacked by domestic dogs. Some kind-hearted people have built “koala crossings”—special bridges and tunnels under roads—to help koalas move 27 between forest areas. These crossings have saved many koala lives. Conservation groups are working hard to 28 koalas. They rescue injured koalas and nurse them back to health. They also plant new eucalyptus trees to restore (恢复) habitats. Scientists are even studying koala genetics to help them 29 better to environmental changes. But everyone can help. Planting native trees in your garden, supporting conservation organizations, and driving carefully in koala areas are all 30 we can make a difference. Koalas are a symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife. If we don’t act now, future generations might only see them in 31 . Remember, every small action counts. By learning about koalas and sharing their story, we can inspire others to 32 . Together, we can ensure that these sleepy, grey-furred creatures continue to charm us for centuries to come. They are not just animals; they are a 33 part of our natural heritage (遗产). Let’s protect them 34 it’s too late. We must do our 35 to save these amazing Australian icons. 21．A．fruits B．leaves C．roots D．flowers 22．A．break down B．put up C．take in D．give out 23．A．waste B．save C．produce D．lose 24．A．cut B．burnt C．turned D．grown 25．A．protected B．created C．destroyed D．saved 26．A．safety B．danger C．peace D．silence 27．A．quickly B．safely C．loudly D．easily 28．A．hunt B．protect C．sell D．study 29．A．adopt B．refuse C．adapt D．return 30．A．ways B．problems C．questions D．reasons 31．A．books B．zoos C．forests D．cities 32．A．give up B．take action C．run away D．look back 33．A．small B．common C．vital D．boring 34．A．after B．before C．when D．while 35．A．work B．job C．part D．duty 第二节 词汇运用（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次 rainbow   protect   wing   dead   invite   tiny Last Sunday, when I was walking in the garden after the rain, I saw a 36 bird on the ground.

I decided to 40 my friend, who loves animals, to come and help. Just as we were caring for the little bird, a beautiful 41 appeared in the sky. It was a sign of hope. We believed the bird would be fine. 阅读下面短文，根据括号内所给的汉语注释写出单词的正确形式，每空一词。 Ginkgoes are one of the most ancient living trees on earth. They first appeared over 200 million years ago. Amazing, right? Many believe the old ginkgo in Shaanxi’s Zhongnan Mountains is the most beautiful. This tree is over 1,400 years old, with a 42 (高度) of about 20 meters and it takes three adults with outstretched arms to encircle it. Each year, it produces over fifty 43 (公斤) of fruit! The mountain is 44 (拥挤的) with thousands of visitors yearly, especially in October—the best time to see its golden leaves. Local people love ginkgoes: they often use the leaves to make small gifts. Local shops also 45 (提供) ginkgo snacks. On the way up the mountain, there is a 46 (排) of old stone houses. To get there, you need to pass them. But be careful: the way up the mountain can be 47 (有风险的) on rainy days, so wear non-slip shoes. Now, ginkgoes line the streets all across China. The dry and cool climate in North China 48 (允许) the leaves to turn a beautiful golden yellow. Every autumn, the golden leaves of the ginkgo trees 49 (回来) to the earth. Walking on them brings great joy. Now you can also plant a ginkgo at home, 50 (可能) you’ll grow your own “long-life tree” someday! 第三节 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词或填入括号中单词的正确形式。 Last summer, I joined a science club to study 51 (amaze) plants and animals. Our teacher took us to a mountain area to do some research. We 52 (leave) early in the morning and arrived at the mountain at 10:00 a.m. First, we 53 (look) for different plants. We found a kind of flower that could change color. It was really 54 (interest). Then we went to a small river. We saw some fish that 55 (be) only 2 centimeters long. Our teacher told us that they were a rare kind of fish. During the trip, we 56 (learn) how to take care of wild plants and animals. We also learned that many of them 57 (be) in danger. At night, we 58 (camp) near the river. We 59 (listen) to the sounds of the animals and 60 (write) down what we had learned that day. I will never forget this trip.

They can easily spit out fish bones before they reach their stomachs.”可知，猫特殊的舌头和食道和人类不同，能轻松吐出鱼刺。 9．根据最后一段段首主旨句“The reason why cats are afraid of water might go back to their ancestors.”可知，整段都是围绕猫咪害怕水的根源展开讲述。 10．分层梳理文章结构可知：P1：总起，提出人们未必完全了解猫；P2：分点1，猫爱吃鱼肉的两个原因；P3：分点2，猫不怕鱼刺的身体特点；P4：分点3，猫害怕水的祖先由来。结构为总（P1）—分（P2、P3、P4），对应C选项树形图。 11．通读全文可知，全文内容都是围绕猫咪的各类科普事实展开。B选项“Facts about cats”符合主题。 D Chinese scientists have discovered four kinds of Gentiana (龙胆) on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, whose flowers can close within seconds after being touched, making them the most sensitive (敏感的) flowers in the world, according to a recently published study. “The flowers disappeared quickly in front of you,” said Dai Can, one of the scientists who led the study. Some people on Chinese social media said the flowers are the “shyest” in the world. The rapid movement of petals (花瓣) has always been interesting to scientists and nature lovers, as unlike animals, plants are usually static. Leaves of carnivorous (食肉的) plants can react to the touch. Before the Gentiana discoveries, the only known plant to display such behaviour was the sundew plant (茅膏菜). Its green leaves can curl up within 2 to 10 minutes after being touched by a fly. It takes between 4 and 6 days for the leaf to digest (消化) the fly it catches. However, the four kinds of Gentiana take 7 to 210 seconds to close their petals, making them the most sensitive and fast-reacting flowers in the world, the study said. The flowers were discovered in 2020 near a lake in Nagqu, Tibet Autonomous Region. The Gentiana’s flower could protect itself from repeated visits by bumblebees, which have a large body, the study said. Another explanation could be that the plant encourages bumblebees to transfer pollen (传播花粉) among a wider range of flowers, since a closed flower would show them that it has already been visited and that the bees should look for another flower. Wang Qingfeng, a researcher at Wuhan Botanical Garden, said both should be examined further in future studies. 12．The underlined word “static” in the passage probably means “________”. A．very beautiful B．not moving C．having a short life D．enjoyable 13．What can we infer from the passage? A．The plants living in Nagqu can react to the touch. B．The four kinds of Gentiana are endangered plants. C．The sundew plant is a kind of carnivorous plant. D．Bumblebees are harmful to the Gentiana’s flower. 14．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．how the Gentiana’s flower protects itself B．why the Gentiana’s flower closes its petals C．how the Gentiana’s flower encourages bumblebees D．what Wang Qingfeng thinks of the study 15．What is the best title for the passage? A．Facts of four kinds of Gentiana B．Scientists discover the “shyest” flower in the world C．Flowers on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau D．Secrets of carnivorous plants 【答案】12．B 13．C 14．B 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国科学家在青藏高原发现的四种龙胆属植物，它们的花被触碰后能在短时间内闭合，是世界上最敏感的花，还阐述了这种现象的原因推测以及相关植物知识。 【详解】12．根据第二段“The rapid movement of petals (花瓣) has always been interesting to scientists and nature lovers, as unlike animals, plants are usually static”可知，花瓣的快速运动让科学家和自然爱好者感兴趣，因为动物通常是动态的，而植物与之不同，通常是不动的。因此static意为“不动的”，即not moving。 13．根据第三段“Leaves of carnivorous (食肉的) plants can react to the touch. Before the Gentiana discoveries, the only known plant to display such behaviour was the sundew plant (茅膏菜)”可知，茅膏菜是已知唯一表现出这种触碰反应行为的植物，而这种行为是食肉植物的特征，因此可推断茅膏菜是一种食肉植物。 14．最后一段主要阐述了龙胆花闭合花瓣的两个可能原因：一是保护自己免受大黄蜂反复拜访“protect itself from repeated visits by bumblebees”，二是鼓励大黄蜂在更广范围内传播花粉“encourages bumblebees to transfer pollen (传播花粉) among a wider range of flowers”。整段核心在于解释“为什么”花瓣会闭合。 15．通读全文可知，文章主要报道了中国科学家发现四种龙胆花，因其被触碰后迅速闭合被称为世界上最“害羞”的花。B选项适合作标题。 第二节 任务型阅读（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下面的文章，从下面方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项）。 Hug (拥抱) a tree? Recently, many people have shared their experience of hugging trees online, and they turned to trees to help with their stress. I wrapped my arms around it and rested my face on the trunk. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and felt really calm during that moment. Hugging a tree is a different experience from hugging a person or an animal. Although it sounds strange, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis” (亲生命假说). A US scientist Edward Wilson pointed it out in 1984. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Besides, spending time with trees can reduce your stress hormones (压力荷尔蒙) and make you feel relaxed. These oils protect trees from illnesses and germs. They are also good for human health, because they can make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Also, hugging a tree lets you take a close look at it. Hugging trees gives you a deeper connection (联系) to nature. You begin to enjoy nature more. A．In addition, trees give off some special oils. B．Because of this, you will want to help the environment. C．You can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of its leaves. D．He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. E．A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time. 16． 17． 18． 19． 20．Do you want to hug the trees? Why or why not? (不超过20词) 【答案】16．E 17．D 18．A 19．C 20．Yes, I do. Because hugging trees can help me feel relaxed and closer to nature. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了拥抱树木的经历、背后的科学原理“亲生命假说”以及拥抱树木对身心健康的好处。 【详解】16．后文描述抱树的动作、感受，选项E“A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time.”讲述第一次拥抱橘子树，与后文动作衔接。 17．前文提到科学家提出亲生命假说，选项D“He said that humans are born to love being around other living things.”中“He”指代Wilson，且内容关于人类天生喜爱生物，符合语境。 18．后文提到“These oils protect trees from illnesses and germs.”引出“oils”这一概念，选项A“In addition, trees give off some special oils.”明确提到树木释放特殊油脂，逻辑呼应。 19．前一句说近距离观察树木，选项C“You can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of its leaves.”提到闻、触、听，符合近距离观察的描述。 20．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，根据自身实际，结合文本内容，合理作答即可。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Koalas are one of Australia’s most beloved animals, but they are facing many challenges. These tree-dwelling marsupials (有袋动物) spend most of their time sleeping—up to 20 hours a day! They have very soft gray fur and big black noses. Baby koalas, called joeys, live in their mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for about six months. Koalas are very picky eaters. They only eat the 21 of certain eucalyptus (桉树) trees. These leaves are tough and poisonous (有毒的) to most animals, but koalas have a special digestive system that can 22 the poison. However, this diet provides very little energy, which is why they sleep so much to 23 energy. Sadly, koala populations are dropping quickly. The biggest threat is habitat loss. As cities grow, many eucalyptus forests are 24 down to make space for new buildings and roads. This means koalas lose their homes and their food supply. Another major problem is climate change. Severe droughts and bushfires have 25 millions of hectares of koala habitat in recent years. When koalas lose their homes, they are forced to travel across open land, where they are in great 26 . They might get hit by cars or attacked by domestic dogs. Some kind-hearted people have built “koala crossings”—special bridges and tunnels under roads—to help koalas move 27 between forest areas. These crossings have saved many koala lives. Conservation groups are working hard to 28 koalas. They rescue injured koalas and nurse them back to health. They also plant new eucalyptus trees to restore (恢复) habitats. Scientists are even studying koala genetics to help them 29 better to environmental changes. But everyone can help. Planting native trees in your garden, supporting conservation organizations, and driving carefully in koala areas are all 30 we can make a difference. Koalas are a symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife. If we don’t act now, future generations might only see them in 31 . Remember, every small action counts. By learning about koalas and sharing their story, we can inspire others to 32 . Together, we can ensure that these sleepy, grey-furred creatures continue to charm us for centuries to come. They are not just animals; they are a 33 part of our natural heritage (遗产). Let’s protect them 34 it’s too late. We must do our 35 to save these amazing Australian icons. 21．A．fruits B．leaves C．roots D．flowers 22．A．break down B．put up C．take in D．give out 23．A．waste B．save C．produce D．lose 24．A．cut B．burnt C．turned D．grown 25．A．protected B．created C．destroyed D．saved 26．A．safety B．danger C．peace D．silence 27．A．quickly B．safely C．loudly D．easily 28．A．hunt B．protect C．sell D．study 29．A．adopt B．refuse C．adapt D．return 30．A．ways B．problems C．questions D．reasons 31．A．books B．zoos C．forests D．cities 32．A．give up B．take action C．run away D．look back 33．A．small B．common C．vital D．boring 34．A．after B．before C．when D．while 35．A．work B．job C．part D．duty 【答案】 21．B 22．A 23．B 24．A 25．C 26．B 27．B 28．B 29．C 30．A 31．A 32．B 33．C 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文介绍了考拉的生活习性、面临的生存威胁及保护措施，呼吁人们行动起来，保护这一澳大利亚独特的自然遗产。 【详解】21．句意：它们只吃特定桉树的叶子。 根据后文“These leaves are tough and poisonous”，后文明确提到了叶子，leaves表示“叶子”，对应后文内容；fruits“水果”，文中没有提到考拉食用水果；roots“根”，考拉不以树根为食物；flowers“花”，原文没有提到桉树花。 22．句意： 这些叶子坚韧且对大多数动物有毒，但考拉拥有特殊的消化系统，能够分解毒素。 根据后文搭配对象the poison（毒素），break down表示“分解”，能够和毒素构成合理动宾搭配；put up“张贴”，语义和消化系统无关；take in“吸收”，吸收毒素会伤害考拉；give out“分发”，无法和毒素搭配， 23． 句意：然而，这种饮食提供的能量少，这就是为什么它们需要大量睡眠来节省能量。 根据前文“this diet provides very little energy”这种食物能够提供的能量很少，所以需要睡觉留存能量，save表示“保存”；waste“浪费”，长时间睡觉并不是浪费能量；produce“生产”，睡觉不能生产能量；lose“失去”，和原文逻辑相反。 24．句意：随着城市扩张，许多桉树林被砍伐，为新建筑和道路腾出空间。 根据后文“to make space for new buildings and roads”，要修建楼房道路就要砍掉树木，cut表示“砍伐”；burnt“燃烧”，文段没有提到人为焚烧森林；turned“转变”，语义不通顺；grown“生长”，种树无法腾出土地。 25．句意： 近年来，严重的干旱和丛林大火摧毁了数百万公顷的考拉栖息地 根据前文“Another major problem is climate change”，气候变化带来干旱山火，会对栖息地造成毁灭性破坏，destroyed表示“摧毁”；protected“保护”，灾害不会起到保护作用；created“创造”，火灾不能创造栖息地；saved“拯救”，和灾害带来的后果矛盾。 26．句意： 当考拉失去家园时，它们被迫穿越开阔地带，在那里它们面临着巨大的危险。 根据后文“They might get hit by cars or attacked by domestic dogs”，有可能被车撞到或者被家犬袭击，说明此时处境十分危险，danger表示“危险”；safety“安全”，和后文发生意外的事实相反；peace“和平”，不能用来描述动物所处处境；silence“寂静”，和句子表达含义无关。 27．句意：一些善良的人建造了“考拉通道”——即道路下方的特殊桥梁和隧道——以帮助考拉在森林区域之间安全移动。 根据前文“special bridges and tunnels under roads”，修建地下通道和天桥，目的就是让考拉过马路的时候不被车辆伤害，可以安全通行，safely表示“安全地”；quickly“快速地”，通道的作用不是加快移动速度；loudly“大声地”，副词含义和句子无关；easily“容易地”，不是修建通道想要达成的核心目的。 28．句意：保护组织正努力保护考拉。 根据后文“They rescue injured koalas and nurse them back to health”，他们救助受伤的考拉，照料考拉恢复健康，这都是保护动物的举措，protect表示“保护”；hunt“捕猎”，保护机构不会捕猎考拉；sell“售卖”，和机构职能完全不符；study“研究”，救助照料不属于研究工作。 29．句意：科学家甚至研究考拉基因，帮助它们更好地适应环境变化。 根据后文搭配对象environmental changes（环境的变化），adapt表示“适应”，adapt to为固定搭配，表示“适应”；adopt“采纳”，不能和环境变化搭配；refuse“拒绝”，不符合科研保护的目的；return“返回”，语义放在句中不通顺。 30．句意：在你的花园里种植本土树木、支持环保组织以及在考拉栖息地小心驾驶，都是我们可以做出改变的方式。 根据后面列举的三件具体做法，这些都是我们助力保护考拉的途径，ways表示“方式”；problems“问题”，后面列举内容并不是难题；questions“疑问”，和后文列举内容无关；reasons“原因”，句子并不是在解释缘由。 31．句意：如果我们现在不行动，后代可能只能在书本里看见考拉。 根据“If we don’t act now”，如果现在不去保护，考拉野外种群将会消失，后人只能在书本之中看见考拉；zoos“动物园”，不属于失去保护之后的最终结果；forests“森林”，森林里还能见到就不需要依靠别的载体；cities“城市”，城市并不是看见考拉的载体。 32．句意：通过了解考拉，分享它们的故事，我们可以激励其他人采取行动。 根据后一句“Together, we can ensure that these sleepy, grey‑furred creatures continue to charm us for centuries to come”，号召大家一起出力保护考拉，take action表示“采取行动”；give up“放弃”，和呼吁保护的主旨相反；run away“逃离”，语义不符合；look back“回顾”，无法承接后文共同保护的内容。 33．句意：它们不仅仅是动物；它们是我们自然遗产的重要组成部分。 根据上下文强调考拉的珍贵价值，vital表示“至关重要的”；small“微小的”，无法体现考拉的价值地位；common“普通的”，考拉属于澳大利亚特有动物，并不普通；boring“无趣的”，感情色彩和原文不符。 34．句意：趁现在还不算太晚，让我们保护它们。 根据后文“it’s too late”，句子想要表达要趁早保护考拉，before表示“在……之前”；after“在……之后”，太晚之后再保护没有意义；when“当……时候”，无法体现抓紧时间；while“当……期间”，放在句中逻辑不通。 35．句意：我们必须尽自己的一份力量，去拯救这些令人惊叹的澳大利亚标志性动物。 do our part为固定习语，更符合语境中‘共同贡献力量’的含义；work“工作”，不能构成该固定短语；job“工作”，不适用此处搭配；duty“责任”，前面不和do our搭配。 第二节 词汇运用（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次 rainbow   protect   wing   dead   invite   tiny Last Sunday, when I was walking in the garden after the rain, I saw a 36 bird on the ground. It was so small that it could lie in my hand. One of its 37 was hurt and it couldn’t fly. It looked 38 but I saw its chest moving slightly. I knew I had to 39 it. I decided to 40 my friend, who loves animals, to come and help. Just as we were caring for the little bird, a beautiful 41 appeared in the sky. It was a sign of hope. We believed the bird would be fine. 【答案】36．tiny 37．wings 38．dead 39．protect 40．invite 41．rainbow 【导语】本文讲述了作者雨后发现一只受伤的小鸟，邀请热爱动物的朋友来帮忙，在救治过程中看到彩虹，寓意希望的故事。 【详解】36．句意：上周日，雨后我在花园里散步时，看到地上有一只极小的鸟。后文“so small that it could lie in my hand”说明鸟非常小，应选tiny，表示“极小的”，作定语修饰bird。 37．句意：它的一只翅膀受伤了，无法飞翔。根据“One of its”及后文“couldn’t fly”可知此处指“翅膀”，且“one of”后接复数名词，应用wing的复数形式wings。 38．句意：它看起来死了，但我看到它的胸部在微微动。后文“but I saw its chest moving slightly”表示转折，说明看起来像“死了”，应选dead，表示“死的”，作表语。 39．句意：我知道我必须保护它。前文描述鸟受伤了，后文作者决定叫朋友来帮忙，说明要“保护”它，应选protect，且“had to”后用动词原形。 40．句意：我决定邀请我热爱动物的朋友来帮忙。根据“my friend...to come and help”可知此处指要“邀请”朋友，应选invite，“decided to”后跟动词原形。 41．句意：就在我们照顾小鸟时，天空中出现了美丽的彩虹。根据“in the sky”及“a sign of hope”可知指“彩虹”，应选rainbow，有“a”修饰，用单数。 阅读下面短文，根据括号内所给的汉语注释写出单词的正确形式，每空一词。 Ginkgoes are one of the most ancient living trees on earth.

But be careful: the way up the mountain can be 47 (有风险的) on rainy days, so wear non-slip shoes. Now, ginkgoes line the streets all across China. The dry and cool climate in North China 48 (允许) the leaves to turn a beautiful golden yellow. Every autumn, the golden leaves of the ginkgo trees 49 (回来) to the earth. Walking on them brings great joy. Now you can also plant a ginkgo at home, 50 (可能) you’ll grow your own “long-life tree” someday! 【答案】42．height 43．kilograms/kilos 44．crowded 45．offer/provide 46．row 47．risky 48．allows 49．return 50．perhaps/maybe 【导语】本文主要介绍了地球上最古老的树种之一——银杏树，重点描述了终南山的一棵古银杏树的特征、当地的旅游盛况以及银杏树在中国的分布情况。 42．句意：这棵树有1400多年树龄，树高约20米，需要三个成年人伸开手臂才能合抱。根据汉语提示和“a…of”可知，此处应填名词。“高度”对应的英语单词是height。故填height。 43．句意：每年，它产出超过五十公斤的果实！ 根据汉语提示和“fifty”可知，此处名词应用复数形式。中文“公斤”对应的英语单词是kilogram或kilo，复数需加s。故填kilograms/kilos。 44．句意：这座山每年都挤满了成千上万的游客，尤其是十月——这是观赏银杏金黄树叶的最佳时节。固定短语be crowded with，意为“挤满了……”。中文“拥挤的”对应的英语单词是crowded。故填crowded。 45．句意：当地的商店也提供银杏小吃。根据汉语提示和“Local shops also…ginkgo snacks.”可知，主语Local shops是复数名词，且句子描述的是一般性事实，应用一般现在时，谓语动词用原形。中文“提供”对应的英语单词是offer或provide。故填offer/provide。 46．句意：在上山的路上，有一排古老的石屋。根据汉语提示和“a…of”可知，固定短语a row of，意为“一排”。中文“排”对应的英语单词是row。故填row。 47．句意：但要小心：在雨天，上山的路可能会有风险，所以要穿防滑鞋。 根据汉语提示和“be”可知，此处应填形容词作表语。中文“有风险的”对应的英语单词是risky。故填risky。 48．句意：中国北方干燥凉爽的气候，让银杏叶能变成漂亮的金黄色。根据汉语提示和“The dry and cool climate”可知，此处主语为China，且句子描述的是自然规律，谓语动词应用一般现在时的单三形式。中文“允许”对应的英语单词是allow，其单三形式是allows。故填allows。 49．句意：每年秋天，银杏树的金叶回归大地。根据汉语提示和“Every autumn, the golden leaves of the ginkgo trees…”可知，此处主语是复数名词，且时间状语Every autumn提示时态为一般现在时，谓语动词应用原形。中文“回来”对应的英语单词是return。故填return。 50．句意：现在你也可以在家里种一棵银杏，可能有一天你会种出属于你自己的“长寿树”！根据汉语提示和“Now you can also plant a ginkgo at home, …you’ll grow your own ‘long-life tree’ someday!”可知，此处需要一个状语来修饰后面的句子you’ll grow…。中文“可能”对应的英语副词是perhaps或maybe。故填perhaps/maybe。 第三节 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词或填入括号中单词的正确形式。 Last summer, I joined a science club to study 51 (amaze) plants and animals.

Cats like to eat mice and fish for some reason. People kept the earliest cats in Egypt (埃及), mainly because they could catch mice easily. In those days, people in Egypt often ate fish from the Nile River. They shared the fish with their cats. That’s why the smell of fish also interests cats to this day. But there is another reason. Cats need a lot of taurine (牛磺酸) to see clearly at night. And mice and fish just have the taurine they need, so cats eat them because of their own needs. Lots of people like to eat fish, but they might be afraid of fish bones. When you see a cat eating fish, you must have a question: Why are cats not afraid of fish bones? In fact, when cats eat fish, their special tongues (舌头) will help them not to eat fish bones. The cats’ esophaguses (食道) are also different. They can easily spit out fish bones before they reach their stomachs. The reason why cats are afraid of water might go back to their ancestors (祖先). The ancestors of cats had to live outside. When they drank water from the river, they were afraid of being caught by other dangerous animals. So every time they drank it, they were very careful and worried. And this habit still stays in their DNA now. 8．Why do cats do better in eating fish than people? A．Because they are cleverer. B．Because they like eating fish bones. C．Because their stomachs are different. D．Because their tongues and esophaguses are different. 9．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Why cats are afraid of water. B．How cats drink water outside. C．What cats’ ancestors like doing. D．What cats were afraid of in the past. 10．What is the structure (结构) of the passage? (P= Paragraph) A．B． C．D． 11．What’s the best title for the text? A．Fun animals B．Facts about cats C．Best food for cats D．Best pets for people D Chinese scientists have discovered four kinds of Gentiana (龙胆) on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, whose flowers can close within seconds after being touched, making them the most sensitive (敏感的) flowers in the world, according to a recently published study. “The flowers disappeared quickly in front of you,” said Dai Can, one of the scientists who led the study. Some people on Chinese social media said the flowers are the “shyest” in the world. The rapid movement of petals (花瓣) has always been interesting to scientists and nature lovers, as unlike animals, plants are usually static. Leaves of carnivorous (食肉的) plants can react to the touch. Before the Gentiana discoveries, the only known plant to display such behaviour was the sundew plant (茅膏菜). Its green leaves can curl up within 2 to 10 minutes after being touched by a fly. It takes between 4 and 6 days for the leaf to digest (消化) the fly it catches. However, the four kinds of Gentiana take 7 to 210 seconds to close their petals, making them the most sensitive and fast-reacting flowers in the world, the study said. The flowers were discovered in 2020 near a lake in Nagqu, Tibet Autonomous Region. The Gentiana’s flower could protect itself from repeated visits by bumblebees, which have a large body, the study said. Another explanation could be that the plant encourages bumblebees to transfer pollen (传播花粉) among a wider range of flowers, since a closed flower would show them that it has already been visited and that the bees should look for another flower. Wang Qingfeng, a researcher at Wuhan Botanical Garden, said both should be examined further in future studies. 12．The underlined word “static” in the passage probably means “________”. A．very beautiful B．not moving C．having a short life D．enjoyable 13．What can we infer from the passage? A．The plants living in Nagqu can react to the touch. B．The four kinds of Gentiana are endangered plants. C．The sundew plant is a kind of carnivorous plant. D．Bumblebees are harmful to the Gentiana’s flower. 14．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．how the Gentiana’s flower protects itself B．why the Gentiana’s flower closes its petals C．how the Gentiana’s flower encourages bumblebees D．what Wang Qingfeng thinks of the study 15．What is the best title for the passage? A．Facts of four kinds of Gentiana B．Scientists discover the “shyest” flower in the world C．Flowers on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau D．Secrets of carnivorous plants 第二节 任务型阅读（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下面的文章，从下面方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项）。 Hug (拥抱) a tree? Recently, many people have shared their experience of hugging trees online, and they turned to trees to help with their stress. I wrapped my arms around it and rested my face on the trunk. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and felt really calm during that moment. Hugging a tree is a different experience from hugging a person or an animal. Although it sounds strange, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis” (亲生命假说). A US scientist Edward Wilson pointed it out in 1984. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Besides, spending time with trees can reduce your stress hormones (压力荷尔蒙) and make you feel relaxed. These oils protect trees from illnesses and germs. They are also good for human health, because they can make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Also, hugging a tree lets you take a close look at it. Hugging trees gives you a deeper connection (联系) to nature. You begin to enjoy nature more. A．In addition, trees give off some special oils. B．Because of this, you will want to help the environment. C．You can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of its leaves. D．He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. E．A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time. 16． 17． 18． 19． 20．Do you want to hug the trees? Why or why not?

These tree-dwelling marsupials (有袋动物) spend most of their time sleeping—up to 20 hours a day! They have very soft gray fur and big black noses. Baby koalas, called joeys, live in their mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for about six months. Koalas are very picky eaters. They only eat the 21 of certain eucalyptus (桉树) trees. These leaves are tough and poisonous (有毒的) to most animals, but koalas have a special digestive system that can 22 the poison. However, this diet provides very little energy, which is why they sleep so much to 23 energy. Sadly, koala populations are dropping quickly. The biggest threat is habitat loss. As cities grow, many eucalyptus forests are 24 down to make space for new buildings and roads. This means koalas lose their homes and their food supply. Another major problem is climate change. Severe droughts and bushfires have 25 millions of hectares of koala habitat in recent years. When koalas lose their homes, they are forced to travel across open land, where they are in great 26 . They might get hit by cars or attacked by domestic dogs. Some kind-hearted people have built “koala crossings”—special bridges and tunnels under roads—to help koalas move 27 between forest areas. These crossings have saved many koala lives. Conservation groups are working hard to 28 koalas. They rescue injured koalas and nurse them back to health. They also plant new eucalyptus trees to restore (恢复) habitats. Scientists are even studying koala genetics to help them 29 better to environmental changes. But everyone can help. Planting native trees in your garden, supporting conservation organizations, and driving carefully in koala areas are all 30 we can make a difference. Koalas are a symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife. If we don’t act now, future generations might only see them in 31 . Remember, every small action counts. By learning about koalas and sharing their story, we can inspire others to 32 . Together, we can ensure that these sleepy, grey-furred creatures continue to charm us for centuries to come. They are not just animals; they are a 33 part of our natural heritage (遗产). Let’s protect them 34 it’s too late. We must do our 35 to save these amazing Australian icons. 21．A．fruits B．leaves C．roots D．flowers 22．A．break down B．put up C．take in D．give out 23．A．waste B．save C．produce D．lose 24．A．cut B．burnt C．turned D．grown 25．A．protected B．created C．destroyed D．saved 26．A．safety B．danger C．peace D．silence 27．A．quickly B．safely C．loudly D．easily 28．A．hunt B．protect C．sell D．study 29．A．adopt B．refuse C．adapt D．return 30．A．ways B．problems C．questions D．reasons 31．A．books B．zoos C．forests D．cities 32．A．give up B．take action C．run away D．look back 33．A．small B．common C．vital D．boring 34．A．after B．before C．when D．while 35．A．work B．job C．part D．duty 第二节 词汇运用（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次 rainbow   protect   wing   dead   invite   tiny Last Sunday, when I was walking in the garden after the rain, I saw a 36 bird on the ground.
