Unlike fruit trees that show their fruits high above ground, peanut plants keep their fruits hidden under the earth. Peanuts do not look attractive, but they are useful and nourishing (有营养的). The peanut tells us a meaningful lesson about life. Some people look for praise and want others to notice them. They care too much about their outer looks. But “peanut‑like people” seldom show off. They work hard silently and try their best to do useful things for family or society. They do not wish for much praise from others. Their satisfaction comes from what they have done. We cannot change our looks easily, but we can improve our inner qualities. Being hard‑working, helpful and modest can make us “peanut‑like people”. We do not need to catch everyone’s eye. What truly matters is whether we can bring value to the world around us. 66．What are “peanut‑like people” like? A．They show themselves in public all the time. B．They work hard silently and do useful things. C．They care much about others’ praise. D．They try their best to make themselves look attractive. 67．Where are peanut fruits? A．High above the ground. B．On the tree branches. C．Under the earth. D．On the surface of soil. 68．What satisfaction do peanut‑like people get? A．From others’ high praise. B．From their own useful work. C．From their good looks. D．From expensive gifts. 69．What is the writer’s advice? A．Try our best to become famous. B．Pay most attention to outer looks. C．Improve our inner qualities. D．Get as much praise as possible. 五、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 In 2008, Zhang Guimei, a hard-working teacher, founded a free girls-only senior high school in Huaping, Yunnan Province. Over the past 18 years, she has helped over 2, 000 girls from poor villages to go to university. Her story, made into a TV series (连续剧) named She and Her Girls (《山花烂漫时》), has been well-received since it came out. The series is successful because it feels real. Instead of showing Zhang’s life to be one full of pain, it focuses on Zhang’s strength to deal with problems. In the poor villages of Huaping, people believe it’s meaningless for girls to receive education. Because of this, many girls are forced to leave school at a young age. To help them come back to school, Zhang and other teachers make many home visits. They never give up, even when villagers are unsupportive. From raising money to enrolling (招收) students, Zhang meets problems every step of the way. However, she is always ready for whatever life throws at her. Showing Zhang’s ability to face challenges, the series tells an inspiring story that wins people’s hearts. In the series, Zhang’s work brings her great joy. Her happiness comes from the support of the government and her workmates. Even when things go against her will, she is able to see the bright side. The series breathes new life into (注入活力) Zhang’s story by showing her strength and positive attitude. It tells us that the life of a great person should not only be seen as one of going through hard times. Instead, it’s a life that is both hard and beautiful. 70．When did Zhang Guimei found the free girls-only senior high school in Huaping? 71．Why do many girls have to drop out of school at a young age? 72．What does the TV series She and Her Girls focus on? 73．Where does Zhang Guimei’s happiness come from? 74．What do you learn from Zhang Guimei’s story? 六、书面表达 75．题目：Find Beauty in Our Life 假设你是班长，你要在班会课上做简短发言，请你写一篇80词左右的发言稿。提示要点： 1. 生活处处有美好，但常常藏在平凡小事中； 2. 学习花生精神，重视内在品质； 3. 勇敢面对困难，用心发现生活之美。 要求：词数80左右；必须使用定语从句；语句通顺；不得出现真实人名校名。 Dear classmates, Today I want to talk about finding beauty in our life.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《Unit 4 Life is beautiful单元基础检测练习》参考答案 题号 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 答案 A B C B A C B C A A 题号 66 67 68 69 答案 B C B C 1．cactus 2．lotus 3．exactly 4．tough 5．dirty 6．break 7．continue 8．typhoon 9．difficulty 10．remind 【解析】略 11．pity 12．dig 13．celebration 14．oil 15．unlike 16．bear 17．compare 18．judge 19．society 20．attractive 【解析】略 21．unused land 22．dig up the ground 23．in a couple of months 24．in different ways 25．be good for making oil 26．attract people with their beautiful colours 27．hides its fruits in the earth 28．look for attention 29．praise from others 30．remain clear in my memory 【解析】略 31．live a meaningful life 32．national treasure 33．make a difference 34．an ordinary person 35．fight for 36．drop out of school 37．lend a hand 38．donate blood 39．medical research 40．a heart full of love 【解析】略 41．live on 42．carry on 43．unused land 44．dig up 45．bear fruit 46．compare with 47．stay up 48．keep sth in mind 49．be satisfied with 50．take a break 【解析】略 51．has spent 【详解】句意：在过去的几年里，她花了大量时间帮助无家可归的人。时间状语in the past few years是现在完成时的标志，主语She是第三人称单数，现在完成时结构为has+过去分词，spend的过去分词是spent，因此填has spent，符合句子逻辑及语境。 52．happily 【详解】句意：当小女孩在校门口看到妈妈时，她开心地笑了。空格处需要副词修饰动词smiled，happy的副词形式是happily，符合句子逻辑及语境。 53．death 【详解】句意：她祖父的离世让她意识到家庭的价值。定冠词The后面需要接名词作句子的主语，die是动词，它的名词形式为death，表示“死亡、离世”，故填death。 54．meaningful 【详解】句意：对我们来说帮助那些有需要的人是有意义的。本句使用固定句型“It is +形容词+for sb. to do sth.”，意为“对某人来说做某事是……的”，此处需要形容词作表语，meaning为名词，其形容词形式meaningful表示“有意义的”。 55．choices 【详解】句意：我们的生活由许多选择组成，每一个选择都塑造着我们的未来。空处位于形容词“many”之后，需要填入可数名词复数。提示词choose是动词，其名词形式为choice，复数形式为choices。 56．A 57．B 58．C 59．B 60．A 61．C 62．B 63．C 64．A 65．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述植物研究员Lily大学毕业后投身植物研究，前往沙漠研究沙漠植物，克服疲惫，坚持开展研究，最终收获大量有用研究成果的故事。 【详解】56．句意：植物在我们的社会中发挥着重要作用。 根据语境，此处表达植物在人类社会当中意义重大，应选用society，表示“社会”。boss“老板”；dentist“牙医”；wife“妻子”，均不符。 57．句意：大学毕业后，她决定把大部分时间投入到植物研究中。 根据人物完成大学学业之后步入工作的背景，应选用graduated，表示“毕业”。served“服务”；judged“判断”；contributed“贡献”，逻辑不通。 58．句意：大学毕业后，她决定把大部分时间投入到植物研究中。 根据devote to，应选用devote，表示“致力于，奉献”。dig“挖掘”；compare“对比”；house“安置”，逻辑不符。 59．句意：有一天，她去沙漠研究像仙人掌这类特殊植物。 根据沙漠生长植物的生活常识，应选用cactus，表示“仙人掌”。peanut“花生”；stamp“邮票”；daughter“女儿”，均不符。 60．句意：她计划挖出一些古老的植物种子。 根据野外获取植物种子的行为场景，应选用dig up，表示“挖出”。make up“编造；组成”；bear out“证实”；expect of“对……期望”，逻辑不通。 61．句意：她想要把沙漠植物和莲花做对比，找出它们的不同之处。 根据后文想要找出二者差异的目的，应选用compare，表示“对比，比较”。serve“服务”；judge“评判”；digitalize“数字化”，逻辑不符。 62．句意：和普通植物不一样，沙漠植物可以在恶劣的环境下生存。 根据沙漠生存环境的特点，应选用conditions，表示“环境，条件”。purpose“目的”；celebration“庆祝”；passage“段落”，均不符。 63．句意：一些人对她抱有很大期待。 根据固定搭配expect much of sb的用法，应选用of，表示“对于”。to“向”；for“为了”；with“和”，逻辑不通。 64．句意：她有时会感到疲惫，但是她从未失去她的满足感。 根据人物即便科研辛苦，内心依旧保有对这份工作的感受的状态，应选用satisfaction，表示“满足感”。pity“遗憾”；helpfulness“乐于助人”；attraction“吸引力”，逻辑不符。 65．句意：她下定决心继续坚持下去。 根据固定短语make up one’s mind的用法，应选用mind，表示“头脑，心思”。stem“茎”；oil“油”；self“自己”，均不符。 66．B 67．C 68．B 69．C 【导语】本文借花生果实埋于地下的特点，赞美像花生一样默默实干、不求夸赞、看重内在价值、为他人和社会创造价值的人，倡导人们提升内在品质。 【详解】66．第二段指出人物特点：“They work hard silently and try their best to do useful things for family or society”，这直接说明“花生一样的人”默默努力、做有意义的事。 67．第一段说明花生果实位置：“peanut plants keep their fruits hidden under the earth”，表明花生果实长在泥土下面。 68．第二段点明满足感来源：“Their satisfaction comes from what they have done”，说明这类人的满足感来自自己所做有益的工作。 69．最后一段给出作者建议：“but we can improve our inner qualities”，说明作者建议我们提升自己的内在品质。 70．In 2008. 71．Because people believe it’s meaningless for girls to receive education. 72．Zhang’s strength to deal with problems. 73．It comes from the support of the government and her workmates. 74．I learn that I should never give up and stay positive. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了张桂梅创办免费女子高中的感人事迹，以及以其故事为原型改编的电视剧《山花烂漫时》的内容、成功原因及所传递的积极向上的精神。 【详解】70．第1段明确指出“In 2008, Zhang Guimei...founded a free girls-only senior high school in Huaping”，这是原文中的具体时间信息，直接提取。 71．第2段第3句和第4句“...people believe it’s meaningless for girls to receive education. Because of this, many girls are forced to leave school at a young age”明确说明，女孩辍学是因为人们认为女孩受教育无意义。 72．第2段第2句“...it focuses on Zhang’s strength to deal with problems”指出，电视剧聚焦于张桂梅应对问题的力量. 73．第4段第2句“Her happiness comes from the support of the government and her workmates”明确指出，她的幸福来源于政府和同事的支持。 74．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章内容，可围绕不放弃、乐观、无私奉献和坚守教育初心等角度合理作答即可。 75．例文 Find Beauty in Our Life Dear classmates, Today I want to talk about finding beauty in our life. Beauty which we are looking for often hides in common small things instead of big events around us. We should learn from peanuts. They never show off themselves, but bring real value to people. When we meet difficulties that trouble us, we shouldn’t give up easily. We need to value our inner qualities more than appearance. As long as we keep our eyes open and stay positive, we will find beauty everywhere in our daily life.
