Recently, scientists 1 some Burrowing Owls (穴栖猫头鹰) settle (安置) into their new homes. Burrowing Owls are small brown longlegged birds. They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, there is another kind of owl 2 the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began building cities on many of the grasslands. This drove the owls off their burrows. So some of these birds were unable to 3 new homes. As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was 4 than that in 1965. 5 the number kept falling, they would be at risk of dying out. 6 , scientists found out the problem some years ago. They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds 7 more “at home”, scientists played the recording sound of owl calls 8 these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls. This made the birds 9 that other owls were living there. As a result, they 10 their new homes and stayed there. Scientists returned to check on the owls. Most of them seemed to like their new homes. Hope they can enjoy their new lives there! (  )1. A. bought  B. shared  C. helped  D. gave (  )2.

As you go deeper and deeper, the daylight (日光) becomes dimmer and dimmer. At over 152metres below the surface (表面) of the water, the daylight is almost gone. The water is dark blue. There you will find lanternfish. There are over 230 different kinds of lanternfish in the world. Most lanternfish are just as long as your fingers. Even the biggest lanternfish are only about 15 centimetres (厘米) long. They are not large in size. However, each lanternfish has about 100 small round lights on the lower part of its body. The fish use their lights to help them catch food. They also use their lights to send information so that they can recognize (认出) each other. At night, they may swim up near the surface of the sea. Their lights shine like stars under the water. Lanternfish are one of the wonders of the sea. (  )1. What is the colour of most lanternfish on top? A. Brown.  B. Green.  C. Red.  D. Silver. (  )2.

The caretakers and teachers in the school are from a specialized team, and the students there are orangutans (猩猩) whose parents have gone missing, making it one of the most unusual schools in the world. The orangutans aged from 2 to 8 years old are divided into five groups according to their skills. They are looked after by the team who feed the babies and teach the older ones to start feeding themselves. There are often problems in the beginning. For example, there was a lesson about how to break open a coconut to drink the milk inside. Several young orangutans couldn’t do that and they got very angry about the whole thing. Of course, as in any social group, the orangutans have to learn to get on with each other. There are the usual arguments over food when one orangutan doesn’t get what he or she wants. However, with the care of the trainers, they gradually learn to accept each other. In one of the lessons, the trainers teach young orangutans to climb trees. This is an important skill they need to learn. Some of the orangutans in particular were really scared. It took them a long time to get the courage to climb up and swing from a branch (树枝), but when they finally did it, they were so satisfied with themselves! The goal of the “education system” is to train the orangutans to be able to live in the wild again and look after themselves. They won’t have to stay at school forever. After the older orangutans are set free into the forest, there is no more connection with the people from the school. They now have to live as wild orangutans again and be accepted by the other orangutans who are already there. The day when they say goodbye is a difficult one. However, the trainers are happy that their job is done. They have successfully taught young orangutans how to live in the wild again—where they belong. (  )1. Where is the orangutan school? A. In a forest.  B. By a lake.  C. In a zoo.  D. In a laboratory. (  )2. What do orangutans learn to do in the school? A. Fight to live.  B. Be good with each other. C. Make useful tools.  D. Feed babies on their own. (  )3. How did the young orangutans feel after learning to climb trees? A. Surprised.  B. Relaxed.  C. Tired.  D. Happy. (  )4. Why is the “education system” set up for orangutans? A. To offer them an easy life. B. To train them to be independent. C. To free them from the past. D. To keep them away from humans. (  )5. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Special Forest Team B. Wildlife Schools in the World C. A School with a Difference D.

Many different types of dogs can be trained to do this work, but the best known ones are German shepherds and bloodhounds. In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13week training course and many dogs fail. Not all dogs make good police dogs. They must be completely trustworthy and honest. Most police dogs live with their handlers as part of the family, but they are not pets. They are working dogs and they have a job to do. Police dogs are trained to chase and hold people who are trying to get away from the police. Police dogs are not vicious animals. They are trained to hold on to people until their handler tells them to let go. Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks. Dogs are not only trained to chase and catch criminals. They are also used for following suspects or finding missing people. This is because some dogs, such as bloodhounds, have a very good sense of smell and can be trained to recognize certain types of smells. Some dogs are used to find survivors after earthquakes or explosions and some are specially trained to find dead bodies. In many countries dogs are used in airports to check luggage for drugs and bombs. Labradors, spaniels and beagles are used for this because they are friendly dogs and people are not afraid of them. 注：每题答案不超过 6 个词。 1.How long does the training course for police dogs usually last in Britain? 2.What protects police dogs when they go into dangerous places? 3.What qualities should good police dogs have? 4.Why can some dogs be used to find missing people? 5.What do you think of dogs like Labradors, spaniels and beagles? 八、书面表达 (共 20 分) 假设你是阳光中学的李华，一位野生动物爱好者。你登录了 Wildlife Conservation Society (野生动物保护协会) 网站。请你根据网站上的问题用英文写一封加入该协会的申请信。 1.What is your information? 2.What can you do to protect wildlife? 3.How can you make more people join to help? 注意事项： 1.文中不能出现真实姓名、校名等信息； 2.文章须包含所有要点，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺； 3.词数 90 左右。 1 / 9 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检测 Unit 5 Wild animals·能力提升卷 学校： 班级： 姓名： 分数： （时间：100分钟 满分：110分） 一、选择填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 从下列各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 ( )1.Mike forgot to bring his umbrella. __________,his clothes got completely wet in the rain on the way home.

Many different types of dogs can be trained to do this work, but the best known ones are German shepherds and bloodhounds. In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13week training course and many dogs fail. Not all dogs make good police dogs. They must be completely trustworthy and honest. Most police dogs live with their handlers as part of the family, but they are not pets. They are working dogs and they have a job to do. Police dogs are trained to chase and hold people who are trying to get away from the police. Police dogs are not vicious animals. They are trained to hold on to people until their handler tells them to let go. Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks. Dogs are not only trained to chase and catch criminals. They are also used for following suspects or finding missing people. This is because some dogs, such as bloodhounds, have a very good sense of smell and can be trained to recognize certain types of smells. Some dogs are used to find survivors after earthquakes or explosions and some are specially trained to find dead bodies. In many countries dogs are used in airports to check luggage for drugs and bombs. Labradors, spaniels and beagles are used for this because they are friendly dogs and people are not afraid of them. 注：每题答案不超过 6 个词。 1.How long does the training course for police dogs usually last in Britain? 2.What protects police dogs when they go into dangerous places? 3.What qualities should good police dogs have? 4.Why can some dogs be used to find missing people? 5.What do you think of dogs like Labradors, spaniels and beagles? 【答案】 1.It usually lasts 13 weeks./13 weeks. 2.Special vests protect them./Special vests. 3.Trustworthy and honest. 4.Because they smell well./Good sense of smell. 5.They are friendly.(答案不唯一，开放性试题，言之有理即可) 【语篇解读】本文介绍警犬相关知识，介绍了警犬的选拔条件、训练时长、工作内容，不同品种警犬的用途，说明警犬可以追捕犯人、搜寻人员以及在机场搜查毒品炸弹。 1.It usually lasts 13 weeks./13 weeks. 细节理解题。根据 “In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13week training course and many dogs fail.” 可知，在英国，警犬的训练课程通常持续 13 周。 2.Special vests protect them./Special vests. 细节理解题。根据 “Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks.” 可知，警犬进入危险区域时，特制背心可以保护它们。 3.Trustworthy and honest. 细节理解题。根据 “Not all dogs make good police dogs.
