Its most amazing ability is regenerating lost body parts—limbs, spinal cords, even parts of its brain and heart. Unlike humans, who form scars, it can fully regrow these structures. Axolotls are vital to their ecosystem as they control insect populations and provide food for larger predators. For science, they offer clues to human tissue regeneration. Sadly, they’re critically endangered due to habitat loss and pollution. To protect them, we must clean their lake habitats, support breeding programs, and reduce urban development around their homes. Saving axolotls means preserving both a unique species and potential medical breakthroughs. 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 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2026-2027学年八年级上册英语单元自测 Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals·能力提升 学校___________ 班级___________ 姓名___________ 分数___________ （时间：60分钟，满分：100分） 一、单项选择。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 1．—Mum, could you buy me a dress like this? —Certainly.

The butterfly is one of 11 flying insects in the world. But do you know why it is called “Butterfly”? People have different 12 about where the name came from. One popular story says that long ago, people in Europe 13 that a common yellow butterfly often flew near butter or milk. So people began to call 14 “Butterflies”, meaning “butter thieves” or “butter-coloured flies”. Another idea is about the butterfly’s colour. Some butterflies, like the Brimstone Butterfly, have bright yellow wings that look like 15 colour of butter. So people started to call these insects “Butterflies”. They used this word 16 the yellow colour of their wings. However, in German, its name is “Schmetterling”. Some old stories say the German name came from a word meaning “cream,” 17 people thought butterflies stole (偷) cream! Scientists today are not sure which story is true. What we do know is that the word “butterfly” has existed (存在) in English for 18 than 1,000 years. Butterflies are special in many cultures. Their name 19 remind us of their colours, their habits, or even old myths (神话). Even if we don’t know where it 20 came from, the stories behind the name make butterflies even more interesting! 11．A．beautiful B．more beautiful C．the most beautiful 12．A．idea B．ideas C．ideas’ 13．A．notice B．are noticing C．noticed 14．A．them B．their C．theirs 15．A．a B．an C．the 16．A．describe B．describing C．to describe 17．A．if B．though C．because 18．A．many B．more C．most 19．A．can B．have to C．should 20．A．exact B．exactly C．exactness 三、完形填空。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) I bought a jasmine (茉莉) plant for my office.

One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to 24 the flowers. Mary 25 some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Lost in the 26 smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant 27 at the same time as I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom so beautifully. I was not patient (耐心的) enough. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things 28 . Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. She returned the plant to me. This time I am going to 29 my jasmine to bloom.

Our science teacher, Mr. Li, took us there to learn about plants and animals. When we arrived, Mr. Li showed us a map and told us what we would do. First, we walked along a path to observe the plants. We saw many different kinds of trees and flowers. Some of them had strange shapes and colors. Mr. Li taught us how to tell the difference between different plants. Then we went to a small lake. We saw ducks swimming on the water and frogs jumping near the shore. Some students took photos of the animals, while others wrote down what they saw in their notebooks. At noon, we had a picnic near the lake. We shared our food and talked about what we had learned. After lunch, we played a game where we had to find as many different plants as possible. The group that found the most plants won a prize. We left the reserve at 3:00 p.m. Everyone was tired but happy. We learned a lot about nature and had a great time together. 31．Where did the class go on their field trip? A．To a zoo. B．To a museum. C．To a nature reserve. D．To a farm. 32．Who took the class on the field trip? A．Their English teacher. B．Their science teacher. C．Their math teacher. D．Their PE teacher. 33．What did they do first at the nature reserve? A．They had a picnic. B．They played a game. C．They observed the plants. D．They went to the lake. 34．What did some students do near the lake? A．They swam in the water. B．They took photos of the animals. C．They caught frogs. D．They fished. 35．How did the students feel after the trip? A．Tired but happy. B．Bored and tired. C．Excited but scared. D．Sad and angry. B Can plants talk? Scientists say they can’t speak like humans, but they have their own ways of communicating. When a plant is attacked by insects, it releases chemicals into the air. Neighboring plants “smell” these chemicals and start producing their own defensive chemicals to protect themselves. This is called “plant alarm signals.” For example, when a tomato plant is eaten by caterpillars, it releases a chemical that attracts wasps (黄蜂). Wasps are natural enemies of caterpillars, so they come and lay eggs inside the caterpillars, killing them. This helps both the tomato plant and the wasps. Plants also communicate through their roots. They send nutrients and chemical signals to neighboring plants through underground fungal networks (真菌网络), often called the “Wood Wide Web.” Through this network, older trees can share nutrients with younger trees, helping them survive. Even more amazingly, some plants can recognize their relatives. In experiments, scientists found that plants grow more roots when planted near siblings (兄弟姐妹) than when planted near unrelated plants. This suggests they can identify their family members and cooperate with them. So, next time you walk through a forest, remember: the trees are not just standing silently. They are talking, sharing, and helping each other through complex communication systems we are just beginning to understand. 36．How do plants warn each other about insect attacks? A．By making loud noises. B．By releasing chemicals. C．By sending electrical signals. D．By changing colors. 37．What happens when a tomato plant is attacked by caterpillars? A．It dies immediately. B．It releases chemicals that attract wasps. C．It stops growing. D．It turns red. 38．What is the “Wood Wide Web”? A．A network of roots and fungi. B．A system of bird calls. C．A type of insect communication. D．A human-made internet for plants. 39．What did scientists discover about plants and their relatives? A．Plants ignore their relatives. B．Plants grow fewer roots near siblings. C．Plants grow more roots near siblings. D．Plants attack their relatives. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Plants are silent and passive. B．Plants have complex communication systems. C．Insects are harmful to plants. D．Fungi are dangerous to trees. C 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项填入空白处，有两项多余。 Rice is a very common kind of food in life. Lots of people in Asia, Africa and South America eat it every day. Some people eat almost nothing but rice. Rice is a kind of plant 41 Some kinds are planted in South China. Where it came from Farmers now grow rice in many countries.

People in many countries use their hands to do all of the work of growing rice. This is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. 44 What people use it to do 45 It can be used to make animal feed and rice oil. People make other useful things such as baskets, shoes and roofs for their houses from it. Also, they burn dry rice plants in fires for cooking. A．How people grow it.

The butterfly is one of 11 flying insects in the world. But do you know why it is called “Butterfly”? People have different 12 about where the name came from. One popular story says that long ago, people in Europe 13 that a common yellow butterfly often flew near butter or milk. So people began to call 14 “Butterflies”, meaning “butter thieves” or “butter-coloured flies”. Another idea is about the butterfly’s colour. Some butterflies, like the Brimstone Butterfly, have bright yellow wings that look like 15 colour of butter. So people started to call these insects “Butterflies”. They used this word 16 the yellow colour of their wings. However, in German, its name is “Schmetterling”. Some old stories say the German name came from a word meaning “cream,” 17 people thought butterflies stole (偷) cream! Scientists today are not sure which story is true. What we do know is that the word “butterfly” has existed (存在) in English for 18 than 1,000 years. Butterflies are special in many cultures.

When I bought it, they 21 me it would bloom (开花) and my office would be full of its sweet smell. I had the plant for two months, and I 22 looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was 23 with the result, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to 24 the flowers. Mary 25 some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Lost in the 26 smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant 27 at the same time as I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom so beautifully. I was not patient (耐心的) enough. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things 28 .

And I have understood the 30 of patience and hard work. Without them, we may not get anything in the end. 21．A．asked B．told C．questioned D．wished 22．A．often B．never C．hardly D．sometimes 23．A．disappointed B．serious C．pleased D．happy 24．A．break B．give C．touch D．take 25．A．cut B．cuts C．shot D．shoots 26．A．common B．poor C．enjoyable D．interesting 27．A．freshly B．actually C．comfortably D．differently 28．A．choose B．happen C．reach D．follow 29．A．wait for B．talk about C．laugh at D．come true 30．A．connection B．importance C．action D．similarity 【答案】 21．B 22．A 23．A 24．C 25．A 26．C 27．B 28．B 29．A 30．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者买茉莉花因未开花而送人，后见朋友花开领悟到生活需要耐心和等待的道理。 【详解】21．句意：我买这盆茉莉的时候，店家告诉我它会开花，我的办公室就会满是清甜花香。 店家向买家传递植株开花的相关信息，told“告知、告诉”符合店员介绍商品的语境。asked“询问”，questioned“质疑”，wished“期盼”，均不符合店家主动告知买家信息的行为。 22．句意：我养了这盆花两个月，我经常去查看它，但始终没有长出花朵，也没有花香。 作者迫切想要看到开花，会频繁察看植株状态，often“经常”契合反复查看的行为。never“从未”，hardly“几乎不”，sometimes“偶尔”，都体现不出作者迫切盼着开花、频繁观察的状态。 23．句意：我对这样的结果很失望，于是就把这盆花送给了朋友琳达。 养护两个月没有开花，作者内心失落沮丧，disappointed“失望的”符合当下心情。serious“严肃的”，pleased“满意的”，happy“开心的”，均和花迟迟不开的负面感受矛盾。 24．句意：我伸出手去触碰花朵。 看到盛放的茉莉花，作者伸手触摸花瓣，touch“触碰、触摸”适配这个动作。break“弄坏”，give“给予”，take“拿取”，都不符合伸手轻触花朵的场景。 25．句意：玛丽剪下一些花递给我。 全文主体是过去发生的事，cut过去式仍为cut，cut“剪下”对应摘取花枝送给作者的动作。cuts是一般现在时第三人称单数，shot“射击”过去式、shoots“射击”第三人称单数，都不适合描述剪花。 26．句意：沉醉在这一小束花宜人的香气里，我忽然领悟到了一些道理。 茉莉花香令人愉悦舒心，enjoyable“令人愉悦的”用来形容花香。common“普通的”，poor“糟糕的”，interesting“有趣的”，都不能用来描述好闻的花香。 27．句意：实际上玛丽和我是同一时间买的茉莉花。 用actually“实际上”引出出人意料的事实：两人购花时间一致，养护结果却截然不同。freshly“新近地”，comfortably“舒适地”，differently“不同地”，都无法引出这个转折事实。 28．句意：我需要保有耐心，静待事情自然发生。 植物开花、事情发展都需要时间自然推进，happen“发生”契合顺应事物发展规律的含义。choose“选择”，reach“抵达”，follow“跟随”，均不符合语境。 29．句意：这一次我愿意等候我的茉莉慢慢开花。 经历这件事后作者学会耐心等待花开，wait for“等候”符合心态转变后的做法。talk about“谈论”，laugh at“嘲笑”，come true“实现”，均不适用于照料植株、等待开花的场景。 30．句意：我已经明白了耐心与勤恳付出的重要性。 整篇文章核心就是诠释耐心的价值，importance“重要性”贴合文章主旨。connection“联系”，action“行动”，similarity“相似点”，都不是作者最终领悟的核心内容。 四、阅读理解。(本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分) A Last Friday, our class went on a field trip to the city’s nature reserve. Our science teacher, Mr. Li, took us there to learn about plants and animals. When we arrived, Mr. Li showed us a map and told us what we would do. First, we walked along a path to observe the plants. We saw many different kinds of trees and flowers. Some of them had strange shapes and colors. Mr. Li taught us how to tell the difference between different plants. Then we went to a small lake. We saw ducks swimming on the water and frogs jumping near the shore. Some students took photos of the animals, while others wrote down what they saw in their notebooks. At noon, we had a picnic near the lake. We shared our food and talked about what we had learned. After lunch, we played a game where we had to find as many different plants as possible. The group that found the most plants won a prize. We left the reserve at 3:00 p.m. Everyone was tired but happy. We learned a lot about nature and had a great time together. 31．Where did the class go on their field trip? A．To a zoo. B．To a museum.

Scientists say they can’t speak like humans, but they have their own ways of communicating. When a plant is attacked by insects, it releases chemicals into the air. Neighboring plants “smell” these chemicals and start producing their own defensive chemicals to protect themselves. This is called “plant alarm signals.” For example, when a tomato plant is eaten by caterpillars, it releases a chemical that attracts wasps (黄蜂). Wasps are natural enemies of caterpillars, so they come and lay eggs inside the caterpillars, killing them. This helps both the tomato plant and the wasps. Plants also communicate through their roots. They send nutrients and chemical signals to neighboring plants through underground fungal networks (真菌网络), often called the “Wood Wide Web.” Through this network, older trees can share nutrients with younger trees, helping them survive. Even more amazingly, some plants can recognize their relatives. In experiments, scientists found that plants grow more roots when planted near siblings (兄弟姐妹) than when planted near unrelated plants. This suggests they can identify their family members and cooperate with them. So, next time you walk through a forest, remember: the trees are not just standing silently. They are talking, sharing, and helping each other through complex communication systems we are just beginning to understand. 36．How do plants warn each other about insect attacks? A．By making loud noises. B．By releasing chemicals. C．By sending electrical signals. D．By changing colors. 37．What happens when a tomato plant is attacked by caterpillars? A．It dies immediately. B．It releases chemicals that attract wasps. C．It stops growing. D．It turns red. 38．What is the “Wood Wide Web”? A．A network of roots and fungi. B．A system of bird calls. C．A type of insect communication. D．A human-made internet for plants. 39．What did scientists discover about plants and their relatives? A．Plants ignore their relatives. B．Plants grow fewer roots near siblings. C．Plants grow more roots near siblings. D．Plants attack their relatives. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Plants are silent and passive. B．Plants have complex communication systems. C．Insects are harmful to plants. D．Fungi are dangerous to trees. 【答案】36．B 37．B 38．A 39．C 40．B 【导语】本文介绍了植物虽无法像人类一样说话，但拥有多种独特的交流方式：被昆虫攻击时可释放化学物质传递警报，可通过地下真菌网络共享养分和信号，部分植物还能识别亲属并展开合作，说明植物拥有人类才刚开始了解的复杂交流系统。 【详解】36．根据第一段“When a plant is attacked by insects, it releases chemicals into the air.”可知，当植物受到昆虫攻击时，会向空气中释放化学物质，邻近植物感知后开启自身防御，这是植物互相预警的方式，只有B项符合原文描述。 37．根据第二段“For example, when a tomato plant is eaten by caterpillars, it releases a chemical that attracts wasps (黄蜂).”可知，番茄植株被毛虫啃食时，会释放一种吸引黄蜂的化学物质，黄蜂会杀死毛虫。 38．第三段“They send nutrients and chemical signals to neighboring plants through underground fungal networks (真菌网络)…”提到植物通过地下真菌网络，也就是“木维网”，传递养分和化学信号，结合前文提到植物通过根部交流，可知木维网是根部和真菌构成的交流网络，只有A项符合描述。 39．第四段“In experiments, scientists found that plants grow more roots when planted near siblings (兄弟姐妹) than when planted near unrelated plants.”提到实验发现，植物和同类亲属种植在一起时，比和非同类植物种植在一起时长出更多根系。 40．通读全文，文章开篇提出植物有自己的交流方式，随后分别介绍不同的交流方式，结尾总结植物依靠复杂的交流系统互动，核心主旨是说明植物拥有复杂的交流系统。 C 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项填入空白处，有两项多余。 Rice is a very common kind of food in life. Lots of people in Asia, Africa and South America eat it every day. Some people eat almost nothing but rice. Rice is a kind of plant 41 Some kinds are planted in South China. Where it came from Farmers now grow rice in many countries. But no one really knows where it first came from. 42 According to some books, people began to grow rice in China about 10,000 years ago. 43 Rice can grow in dry soil, but most rice grows in wet soil. People in many countries use their hands to do all of the work of growing rice. This is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. 44 What people use it to do 45 It can be used to make animal feed and rice oil.

Its most amazing ability is regenerating lost body parts—limbs, spinal cords, even parts of its brain and heart. Unlike humans, who form scars, it can fully regrow these structures. Axolotls are vital to their ecosystem as they control insect populations and provide food for larger predators. For science, they offer clues to human tissue regeneration. Sadly, they’re critically endangered due to habitat loss and pollution. To protect them, we must clean their lake habitats, support breeding programs, and reduce urban development around their homes. Saving axolotls means preserving both a unique species and potential medical breakthroughs. 【详解】写作步骤 [第一步：审题立意] 确定文体：说明文（材料作文），以一般现在时为主 明确要点：这种植物或动物是什么；它有什么独特的能力或特征；它对生态系统有什么重要性；我们如何保护它 确定人称：以第三人称（it/its）为主 注意事项：需包含题干中所有要点，可适当发挥，词数不少于80。拼写语法正确 [第二步：构思布局] 三段式结构： 开头：直接点明要介绍的动物及其栖息地，引出话题。 中间：先介绍其独特能力；再说明其对生态系统的重要性以及对科学研究的价值。 结尾：指出其濒危现状及原因，然后提出具体的保护措施，最后升华主题，强调保护该物种的双重意义。 [第三步：要点展开] 要点一：介绍植物或动物 ...is a kind of.../...is a remarkable plant/animal./It lives in.../It is found in.../...is native to.../The name of this animal/plant is... 要点二：独特的能力或特征 Its most amazing ability is.../It can.../It has the ability to.../What makes it special is.../Unlike..., it can.../It is known for.../It is famous for.../It has a unique feature that... 要点三：对生态系统的重要性 ...are vital/important to the ecosystem because.../They help to.../They play an important role in.../They provide.../They offer clues to.../They are valuable for science/research. 要点四：如何保护它 ...are endangered because of.../To protect them, we should/must.../We need to.../It is important to.../Measures should be taken to.../Protecting... means... 试卷第1页，共3页 1 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
