She loved spending time there, 1 when it was too crowded. As she walked, she noticed a small bird lying on the ground, unable to fly. Without thinking twice, she picked it up, feeling 2 little heart beating fast. Emma knew she had to 3 the bird from danger. She carefully carried it home and put it in a warm box. Over the next few days, she fed it and 4 it was safe. Her friends were surprised by her kindness, because she had never cared for an animal like this before. However, one morning, Emma found the bird had flown away. At first, she felt 5 and thought her efforts (努力) had been in vain (徒劳). But then she realized the bird was meant to be free, and she had given it a new life. True kindness means helping others without expecting anything in return. 【答案】1．except 2．its 3．protect 4．made sure 5．disappointed 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个女孩救助受伤小鸟，并最终明白“真正的善良是不求回报”的道理。 1．句意：她喜欢在那里度过时光，除了当公园太拥挤的时候。根据“She loved spending time there”可知，艾玛喜欢去公园，但是当公园太拥挤的时候是一个例外。except意为“除……之外”。故填except。 2．句意：她不假思索地把它捡起来，感觉到它的小心脏跳得很快。根据前文“As she walked, she noticed a small bird lying on the ground, unable to fly.”可知，这里指的是小鸟的心脏。这里用it的形容词性物主代词its修饰little heart，its表示“它的”。故填its。 3．句意：艾玛知道她不得不保护小鸟免受危险。根据“…the bird from danger”可知，此处意为保护小鸟免受危险，protect…from danger是词组搭配表示“保护……免受危险”。had to后跟动词原形。故填protect。 4．句意：在接下来的几天，她喂它还确保它的安全。根据“…it was safe”可知，艾玛是想确认小鸟的安全；make sure意为“确保”；根据“she fed it and…”可知，这句话时态为一般过去时。故填made sure。 5．句意：最初，她感到失望，以为自己的努力都白费了。根据下文“her efforts (努力) had been in vain (徒劳)”可知，艾玛以为自己的努力都白费了，她感到失望；felt是系动词，后面加形容词。disappoint是动词，应变为形容词disappointed“失望的”。故填disappointed。 二、语法填空 阅读短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In daily life, people, animals and plants are all connected. Bees are one of the best examples of this 1 (connect). In warm weather, we see bees fly among the 2 (flower). They carry pollen from one flower to another. This action 3 (help) plants grow well. Actually, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world can’t grow 4 their work. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the 5 (important) animals on this planet. There are many interesting things about bees. One thing is that they work hard together to make their homes. They create honeycombs 6 (store) honey. Another thing is that a bee can tell the others where 7 how far away the food is by dancing. Bees play 8 important part in the ecosystem of our planet. Now scientists are worried because the number of bees is 9 (drop). We should do something useful to protect 10 (they). For example, we can plant more trees because trees can give bees food and they are home to bees. 【答案】 1．connection 2．flowers 3．helps 4．without 5．most important 6．to store 7．and 8．an 9．dropping 10．them 【导语】本文围绕蜜蜂展开，介绍蜜蜂与动植物、生态系统的紧密联系，科普蜜蜂的习性以及蜜蜂数量减少的现状，呼吁人们保护蜜蜂。 【详解】1．句意：蜜蜂是这种联系最好的例子之一。该处需一个名词，在句中作介词of的宾语；connect的名词变形为connection“联系”。 2．句意：天气温暖时，我们能看见蜜蜂在花丛中飞舞。该处需一个名词复数，在句中作among的宾语；“among”表示“在……之间”，提示后面接可数名词复数；flower为可数名词，复数形式直接加s，故填flowers。 3．句意：它们把花粉从一朵花带到另一朵花，这个行为帮助植物茁壮成长。主语是单数可数名词，一般现在时谓语动词使用三单形式，help三单为helps。 4．句意：事实上，世界上大约百分之八十的植物没有它们的劳作就无法生长。前文讲蜜蜂传粉助力植物生长，提示语义与“没有”相关；结合句子逻辑，缺少蜜蜂工作植物无法生长，故填without。 5．句意：出于这个原因，许多科学家认为蜜蜂是这颗星球上最重要的动物。范围“on this planet”提示语义需要表达“最重要的”；定冠词the后要求使用形容词最高级，important多音节词最高级加most，故填most important。 6．句意：它们建造蜂巢来储存蜂蜜。“create honeycombs”提示语义是筑巢的目的；不定式结构to do可表行为目的，故填to store。 7．句意：另一件有趣的事是蜜蜂可以通过跳舞告诉其他同伴食物的位置以及距离。“where”和“how far away the food is”提示语义是并列的两条信息；并列连词and用于连接并列从句，故填and。 8．句意：蜜蜂在我们星球的生态系统中发挥着重要作用固定搭配play a part in表示“在……中起作用”，提示需要不定冠词；important以元音音素开头，需使用an。 9．句意：现在科学家十分担忧，因为蜜蜂的数量正在下降。“Now”提示语义为当下正在发生的动作；be动词is后要求使用现在分词构成现在进行时，drop现在分词为dropping。 10．句意：我们应当做一些有用的事来保护它们。前文指代bees，提示语义代指蜜蜂；动词后需用人称代词宾格，they宾格形式为them。 三、补全对话 (25-26八上·安徽阜阳临泉县三校·期中)根据对话内容, 从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有两个为多余选项。 Mike: Hi, Jim. What are you talking about? Jim: 1 Mike: Which do you like better, plants or animals? Jim: I like plants better. Mike: 2 Jim: Because they are very beautiful. I think I like bamboo best.

Wang Qing, a student in the 8th grade, sees animals 1 good friends. But not 2 thinks this way. When he was studying animals, Wang once wanted to know the 3 of the word “xiong” in The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary. To his 4 , it said the paw of a bear was a kind of delicious food. He went on to search “hu” and “lang” in the dictionary, and the 5 were almost the same. Wang was unhappy. “These are our dear friends,” he said. “How can we think only of eating them or making medicine from them?” So Wang wrote to the editors (编辑) of the dictionary and told them they should make some 6 . “I think it’s better to tell us if an animal is a rare (稀有的) type and how many of them are left,” he added. In fact, Wang isn’t the only student who found these wrong ideas. During a school trip to Beijing Botanical Garden (北京植物园) on Sunday, Grade 8 students Peng Yiting and Zhao Weike from Beijing No. 80 Middle School 7 many signs telling how plants can be used. On one of the signs, visitors can see the 8 like this—“The juice of the plant can be made into medicine and is good for the skin.” “The signs should also tell us to remember to 9 wildlife while using it,” Peng said. Zhao said many people needed to change their ideas about wildlife. He advised people to think what we can do to protect it, not just what we can get from it. Did you see 10 like these in zoos or gardens in your city? Then please write to the government and ask them to help people change their minds. 1．A．as B．of C．for D．from 2．A．anybody B．everybody C．somebody D．nobody 3．A．character B．personality C．meaning D．environment 4．A．joy B．mind C．taste D．surprise 5．A．resolutions B．results C．reasons D．reports 6．A．changes B．plans C．mistakes D．chances 7．A．written B．noticed C．printed D．prepared 8．A．prediction B．promise C．information D．invitation 9．A．fight B．hurt C．protect D．forget 10．A．discussions B．problems C．questions D．predictions 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．B 6．A 7．B 8．C 9．C 10．B 【导语】本文讲述王晴等学生发现字典和标牌中对动植物的描述不当，建议人们改变观念，保护野生动物，而非仅仅利用它们。 【详解】1．句意：八年级学生王晴把动物看作好朋友。 空处搭配固定词组see...as...，含义为“把……视作……”。 2．句意：但并不是所有人都这样认为。 前文说明王晴看待动物的独特视角，but表转折，everybody用于否定句表示部分否定“并非所有人”；anybody多用于疑问句、否定句表示“任何人”；somebody表示“某人”；nobody表示“没有人”，语义不符。 3．句意：王晴想要查阅《现代汉语词典》中 “熊” 这个字的含义。 后文词典解释了熊掌相关释义，对应查询单词的“含义”；character“字符、性格”；personality“性格”；environment“环境”均不符合查阅词典的语境。 4．句意：令他惊讶的是，词典里写熊掌是一种美味食材。 固定搭配to one’s surprise，表示“令某人惊讶的是”；joy“喜悦”，可构成短语但不符合后文提到“Wang was unhappy”语境；mind“头脑”；taste“味道”不能构成该固定短语。 5．句意：他接着在词典里查找“虎”和“狼”，查到的结果几乎是一样的。 此处指代查询字词得到的词典内容“结果”；resolutions“决议”；reasons“理由”；reports“报告”不符合查字典的行为结果。 6．句意：于是王晴写信给词典编辑，告诉他们应当做出一些修改。 发现词典内容不合理，需要编辑进行改动、修改；plans“计划”；mistakes“错误”；chances“机会”逻辑不通。 7．句意：北京八十中的彭艺婷、赵伟科在研学途中留意到许多介绍植物用途的标识牌。 学生在园区游览时主动“注意到、留意到”标牌；written“书写”；printed“印刷”；prepared“准备”不符合学生的动作行为。 8．句意：游客能在其中一块标牌上看到如下信息：这种植物的汁液可以入药，对皮肤有益。 引号内的文字是标牌展示的相关“信息”；prediction“预言”；promise“承诺”；invitation“邀请”和标牌文字属性不符。 9．句意：这些标识也应当提醒我们在利用野生生物的同时去保护它们。 全篇核心主旨是保护野生动物，protect符合文章立意；fight“对抗”；hurt“伤害”；forget“忘记”语义相悖。 10．句意：你在所在城市的动物园、植物园里见过这类问题吗？ 前文罗列了词典、园区标牌存在的片面化描述问题，此处指代前文出现的各类不妥之处、问题；discussions“讨论”；questions侧重需要回答的疑问；predictions“预言”不合适。 二、阅读理解 （A） (25-26八上·河南周口鹿邑县·月考)Do you like to watch animals outside your window? Maybe you can make your yard a place for animals to visit. You just need to know what makes a good habitat (栖息地). Then you need to make some careful plans for your yard. First, animals need food.

You can build a small pond in the yard，整段都在讲述动物需要水源，因此横线处填“animals need water”，选B。 3．划线单词nests意为“巢穴、鸟窝”，文中提到鸟儿在树上筑巢，C选项图片是鸟巢，对应单词含义，选C。 4．文章结构：第一段总起，引出要规划庭院打造动物栖息地；第二、第三、第四、第五段分别从食物、水源、藏身地、巢穴四个分点并列阐述，属于总分结构，P1总领，P2-P5并列分述，对应A结构图，选A。 5．全文围绕如何改造庭院，给动物打造栖息地展开，A整理庭院卫生、B为植物改造庭院、C美化庭院均偏离主旨，D“如何把庭院改造成动物栖息地”贴合全文，选D。 （B） Long ago, when the Creator first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the Creator pulled the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the Baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The Baobab tree is a strange looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “Bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. In the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “the tree of life”, because it can live longer than 1000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it. 6．How does the writer begin the text? A．By singing a song. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 7．Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season? A． B． C． D． 8．Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “hollow” in paragraph 3? A．Dirty. B．Modern. C．Empty. D．Useful. 9．Which of the following is NOT true? A．Baobab has many names. B．Flowers come out in rainy seasons. C．The leaves of the baobab are good medicine. D．The oldest baobab is less than 1,000 years old. 10．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Creator and Baobab B．What is Baobab like in a year C．A special tree-Baobab D．Baobab’s trunk, leaves and fruit 【答案】6．B 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了猴面包树的外形特点、生长习性和实用价值，展现了它是一种特别且有用的树。 【详解】6．根据文章开头“Long ago, when the Creator first planted a tree in the garden”，作者讲述了上帝种树的故事，所以作者是通过展示一个故事来开始这篇文章的。 7．根据“In the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks sticking up in the air.”，旱季猴面包树的样子是没有叶子，像树干直立在空中。 8．根据“When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people.”，老树能容纳很多人，可猜测树干里面是空的，和C选项empty“空的”，意思相近。 9．根据“Baobab is called ‘the tree of life’, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old.”，猴面包树能活1000多年，不是不到1000年。 10．本文主要介绍了猴面包树，包括它的外观、生长环境、用途等，所以C选项“一种特殊的树——猴面包树”为最佳标题。 ( 1 / 6 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals 课时4 Section B 1a-1f&Reading plus 分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 ( 词汇 ______ n. 蜂蜜 ________________ n. 交流 ________ v. 想象 ______ n. 船长 ________ n. 生态系统 ____________ n. 保护 ______________ adj. 失望的 __________ adj. 勤劳的 __________ 事实上 __________ 为了 __________________ 与……有联系 句型 1.

The Baobab tree is a strange looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “Bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. In the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “the tree of life”, because it can live longer than 1000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it. 6．How does the writer begin the text? A．By singing a song. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question.
