Unit 5 阅读理解专项练习 2026-2027学年外研版英语七年级上册（教师版） Passage 1 Do you have a potted plant at home? Here are some tips to help you take good care of it. First, give it the right amount of water. Overwatering can make the roots rot, while underwatering will make the leaves dry. Check the soil every few days—if it feels dry, it’s time to water. Second, put it in the right place. Most plants need sunlight to grow, but some don’t like strong direct sunlight. Read the label on your pot to know what kind of light your plant needs. Third, clean the leaves. Dust on leaves can stop plants from taking in sunlight. Use a soft cloth to wipe the leaves gently every two weeks. With these simple tips, your plant will grow strong and healthy. 1．What does the underlined word “rot” mean? A．生长 B．腐烂 C．发芽 D．枯萎 2．What is the second tip for taking care of potted plants? A．Give enough water B．Clean the leaves C．Put it in the right place D．Fertilize the soil 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．All plants need strong direct sunlight. B．We should water plants every day. C．Dust on leaves is bad for plants. D．Overwatering is better than underwatering. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 【导语】文章介绍了照顾盆栽植物的三个建议，包括适量浇水、放置合适位置以及清洁叶子，旨在帮助植物健康生长。 【详解】1．根据文章第二段“Overwatering can make the roots rot, while underwatering will make the leaves dry.”可知浇水过多会导致根部腐烂，与浇水过少叶子干枯形成对比，符合“腐烂”之意。 2．根据原文“Second, put it in the right place.”可知，照料盆栽的第二条建议是把它放在合适的位置。 3．根据原文“Dust on leaves can stop plants from taking in sunlight.”可知，叶片上的灰尘会阻碍植物吸收阳光，对植物有害。 Passage 2 Leaves change color in the fall, and it makes nature look so pretty. But why does this happen? It’s all about how trees get ready for winter. Let’s learn why in a simple way. Leaves are the world’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground with their roots (根) and take CO2 (二氧化碳) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose (葡萄糖). Plants use glucose as food for energy and growing. In summer, leaves are green because they have chlorophyll (叶绿素). Chlorophyll helps leaves catch sunlight to make food for the tree. It’s like a small kitchen in each leaf. When summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter, and the weather gets cold. Trees know winter is near. They must get ready. During winter, there is not enough sunlight. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they keep during the summer. When the chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. 4．What happens to leaves according to the passage? A．They change color in autumn. B．They like summer best. C．They take water from the ground. D．They turn green in winter. 5．Why do trees rest in winter? A．Because they don’t like winter. B．Because there is not enough sunlight. C．Because leaves turn yellow and orange. D．Because they want to make red leaves. 6．What does the underlined word “disappears” mean in the last paragraph? A．Appears. B．Goes away. C．Grows. D．Changes. 【答案】4．A 5．B 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，用通俗易懂的方式解释了树叶在秋天变色的科学原因，涉及光合作用、叶绿素的作用以及树木在冬季的休眠机制。 【详解】4．文章第一段指出“Leaves change color in the fall”，直接说明树叶在秋天会变色。 5．文章最后一段指出“During winter, there is not enough sunlight. Trees rest during this time”，直接说明树木在冬天休眠是因为没有足够的阳光。 6．文章最后一段指出“When the chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves.”，叶绿素消失后树叶显示出黄色和橙色。由此推断，“disappears”意为“消失”。 Passage 3 Plants are amazing. They do more than just look beautiful. Different plants have different powers. Some plants can help us stay healthy. For example, aloe vera can treat small burns and make skin feel better. Mint can help with stomachaches and make our breath fresh. Some plants can clean the air. They take in harmful gases and produce fresh oxygen. Spider plants are great at this—they can remove formaldehyde from the air in our homes. Some plants can protect the environment. Desert plants like cacti can hold the soil in place and stop sandstorms. Mangrove trees grow near the sea and protect coasts from waves. No matter what kind of plant it is, it plays an important role in our lives. We should learn to respect and protect them. 7．What is the passage mainly about? A．Different powers of plants. B．How to grow aloe vera. C．The history of plants. D．Ways to protect the environment. 8．Which plant can help with stomachaches? A．Spider plant. B．Mint. C．Cactus.

It is very important for birds that travel long distances. Many waterbirds fly from East Asia to Australia every year, and these wetlands are an important place for them to rest and find food. Mangroves are trees that grow in salt water. They are like natural protectors for the city and the birds. Their roots can make water clean. They also help stop strong storms from hurting the coast. The thick mangrove forests also give birds a safe home. Birds build nests and raise their babies there, even in storms, the little birds are safe. That’s why mangroves are important. Nearby, Shenzhen also has a Nature Reserve. It is home to over 1,200 wild monkeys and about 100,000 migratory birds come every year. To save and keep the valuable home for birds, Shenzhen and Hong Kong work closely together. In November 2024, the Shenzhen International Mangrove Center opened. It teaches people about mangroves and helps Shenzhen and Hong Kong work better together. It uses technology to help protect birds, and this hard work is helpful! For example, the number of black-faced spoonbills, an endangered bird, is getting bigger. Thirty years ago, there were only about 300 of these birds. Now, there are nearly 7,000! The Wetland Education Center in Shenzhen Bay Park also lets people learn about nature through fun activities like workshops and bird watching. Everyone can take part in environmental protection. Come to visit the mangrove wetlands! You can see beautiful birds, get close to nature and have fun with your family. Let’s work together to protect these special wetlands, keep nature beautiful and make our Earth a better place. 15．Why are these wetlands important for birds? A．They are very big and beautiful.

They are like natural protectors for the city and the birds.”，根据上下文指代逻辑，“They”指代前文刚介绍的主体“mangroves”（红树林）。 17．第三段说明深港合作保护湿地的原因：“To save and keep the valuable home for birds, Shenzhen and Hong Kong work closely together.”，表明两地合作的目的是帮助保护鸟类。 18．文章主要介绍红树林湿地的生态价值、保护情况等自然相关内容，属于科普类自然介绍，由此可推断，这篇文章可能出现在自然杂志中。 Passage 6 ①For a long time, people only read about talking plants in stories. But now, we know plants can really “talk” to each other in different ways. ②First, plants can use sounds to talk. We cannot hear these sounds, but their roots (根) can make these quiet sounds. They can also hear them. A plant can “listen” through its roots to know if the plant next to it is friendly or not. ③Plants can also use smells. For example, if an insect eats a plant’s leaves, the plant makes an unusual smell. Other plants around it can “smell” this too. Then they also make their own smells. Some smells make insects go away, and some can call other insects to come and help the plant. ④There is also something like a “Plant Internet” under the ground. It is made of very small living things. It connects (连接) the roots of many plants together. Through this network, plants can share food and water. Big plants sometimes help small plants in this way. ⑤Scientists are still learning new things about how plants talk.
