《2025年实验班提优训练八年级英语上册人教版》

情境1 Alice是动物协会的会员,今天她来图书馆里查阅资料发现了一篇文章,令她感到很奇怪：很多动物都有“撒谎”的习惯,而且这种习惯有利于它们的生活,这到底是怎么一回事呢？
任务1 (2025·四川重庆南开学校期末)阅读理解
Most people agree that honesty(诚实) is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they tell a lie(撒谎) with their bodies and activities? Animal experts may not call it telling a lie, but they agree many animals do something dishonest to others. Dishonesty often helps them a lot.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. A bird called the plover sometimes seems to be hurt(受伤的) to save its young. When an animal gets close to its home, the plover seems to have a broken leg. The animal follows it, leaving the baby birds safe.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries(埋) its food in order to make sure it always has something to eat. Scrub jays also take others' food. They watch where others bury their food and take it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when others are watching them. So they get back later to take out the food and bury it again somewhere else.
Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimpanzee will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimpanzee puts out its hand, too, the chimpanzees are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimpanzee take the winner's hand and start fighting again. When chimpanzees find food, it's common for them to shout out. But some clever chimpanzees learn to shout very softly when they find food. That way, other chimpanzees can't hear them, and they don't need to share the food.

任务2 再次阅读文章,判断下面的说法是正确(T)还是错误(F)
5. Animal experts agree all animals do something dishonest to others.
6. A bird called the plover seems to be hurt in order to save its babies.
7. The scrub jay buries its food in order to live through the cold winter.
8. Clever chimpanzees shout loudly to make others heard when they find food.

答案： 任务 1:1.C ［解析］推理判断题。根据“Most people agree that honesty(诚实) is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk，but can they tell a lie(撒谎) with their bodies and activities?”可知，作者是通过提问来开始这篇文章的。故选 C。
2.B ［解析］细节理解题。根据“A bird called the plover sometimes seems to be hurt(受伤的) to save its young. When an animal gets close to its home，the plover seems to have a broken leg. The animal follows it，leaving the baby birds safe.”可知，鸻鸟装作腿断是为了拯救它的幼鸟。故选 B。
3.D ［解析］细节理解题。根据“Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries(埋) its food in order to make sure it always has something to eat. Scrub jays also take others' food.”可知，灌丛鸦为了确保总有东西吃，会把自己的食物埋起来，还会拿走其他鸟的食物。①③符合题意，故选 D。
4.D ［解析］图片理解题。文中提到黑猩猩打架后，输的黑猩猩会先伸手示好，等赢的黑猩猩也伸手时又开始打架，说明黑猩猩这种行为是偷偷摸摸、狡猾的。“sneaky”意为“鬼鬼祟祟的；狡猾的”，D 选项图片中狡猾的狐狸在骗乌鸦嘴里的肉。故选 D。
任务 2:5.F ［解析］根据第一段中的“Animal experts may not call it telling a lie，but they agree many animals do something dishonest to others.”可知，动物专家同意许多动物会对他人做出不诚实的事情，但不是所有的动物都有这种不诚实的行为，故本句是错误的。
6.T ［解析］根据第二段中的“A bird called the plover sometimes seems to be hurt(受伤的) to save its young.”可知，一种叫作 plover 的鸟有时候假装受伤是为了挽救它的孩子。故本句是正确的。
7.F ［解析］根据第三段中的“the scrub jay，buries(埋) its food in order to make sure it always has something to eat”可知，这种鸟 scrub jay 把自己的食物埋下是为了确保它自己一直有吃的，但文中没有说是为了过冬天。故本句说法是错误的。
8.F ［解析］根据最后一段中的“But some clever chimpanzees learn to shout very softly when they find food. That way，other chimpanzees can't hear them，and they don't need to share the food.”可知，一些聪明的黑猩猩在找到食物时学会了非常轻轻地而不是大声地喊叫。这样，其他黑猩猩就听不到它们的声音，也不需要分享食物。故本句说法是错误的。
