Many rare species live here, making it a crucial area for biological 23 .The Sahara Desert, covering most of North Africa, is a land of extremes.

It is located on the border between China and Nepal, attracting thousands of climbers every year.Climbing Mount Qomolangma is a great challenge. The average temperature at the top is -29℃, and the air pressure is only one-third of that at sea level, making it hard to breathe. Climbers must carry oxygen tanks and special equipment to survive. In addition, sudden snowstorms and avalanches often pose great dangers. Despite these difficulties, many people still dream of reaching the top because of the sense of achievement and the beautiful scenery.In recent years, the number of climbers has increased, leading to environmental problems. Rubbish such as oxygen tanks, plastic bottles and tents has been left on the mountain. To protect this precious nature wonder, the Chinese government has taken measures: cleaning up the rubbish regularly, limiting the number of climbers and setting up nature reserves around the mountain.Mount Qomolangma is not only a natural landmark but also a symbol of courage and perseverance.

Formed about 25 million years ago, it is also one of the oldest lakes on earth.The lake is famous for its extremely clear water. The transparency of the water reaches 40 meters, allowing people to see the lake bottom easily. There are more than 1,000 species of plants and 2,500 species of animals in and around the lake, many of which are endemic—they can only be found in Lake Baikal. The Baikal seal, a cute marine mammal, is one of the most famous endemic species.Lake Baikal plays a vital role in maintaining the regional ecosystem. It stores about 20% of the world's fresh surface water, which is crucial for human survival and development. However, the lake is facing environmental threats. Industrial waste from nearby factories and rubbish left by tourists have polluted some areas of the lake.To protect Lake Baikal, the Russian government has established nature reserves and made strict laws to prevent pollution. Local people also actively participate in protection activities, such as cleaning the lake shore and promoting environmental awareness.

It spans 11 countries in North Africa, including Algeria, Egypt and Libya.The Sahara is a land of extreme conditions. The average annual rainfall is less than 25 millimeters, and some areas have no rain for years. During the day, the temperature can reach over 40℃, while at night, it can drop to below 0℃. This huge temperature difference is one of the desert's most notable features.Despite the harsh environment, the Sahara is home to a variety of plants and animals. Plants such as cacti and acacia trees have deep root systems to absorb water from the deep ground. Animals like camels, desert foxes and snakes have special adaptations—camels can store water and food in their humps, allowing them to survive for days without drinking or eating.The Sahara is also inhabited by some people, such as the Berbers and Tuaregs. They have lived in the desert for centuries, relying on herding animals and trading goods to make a living. In recent years, tourism has become an important industry in the Sahara. Visitors come to admire the vast sand dunes, starry nights and unique desert culture.

More than one billion people actually live in desert areas.A place that receives less than 25 cm of rain every year is called a desert. More than one-fifth of the earth's land area is the desert. Only about 20% of deserts are covered by sand. Some have mountains, rocks or lakes.The hottest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert, even reached temperatures of up to 56℃. But some deserts are always cold, like the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is colder than any other desert in the world. The coldest recorded temperature there is -53℃. The driest desert, Chile's Atacama Desert, has parts that receive less than 2 mm of rain a year.Desert animals have their own ways to keep cool and use less water. Camels can go for weeks and don't need to drink any water. Many desert animals, such as desert foxes, only come out to find food when the sun goes down. Most desert animals spend much of their time underground to keep cool. Desert plants may have to live without freshwater for years at a time. Some plants grow long roots that get water from deep in the earth. Other plants have roots that spread out a long way so they can receive the rain as soon as it falls, such as cacti. Life is hard for animals and plants in the desert. But they've got used to the life there.第四节 书面表达 (满分20分)本周我们学习了Unit4，了解了世界上众多神奇的自然奇观，也认识到保护自然奇观的重要性。请你结合本单元所学，写一篇短文，谈谈你对自然奇观的认识和保护行动。具体要点：1. 介绍你最喜欢的一处自然奇观及其特点；2. 分析该自然奇观面临的威胁；3. 提出你认为可行的保护建议。要求：词数100左右，适当使用连词（such as, because, so, first, second等），体现对核心素养中文化意识、思维品质的运用。__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力材料第一节M: Why do you like learning about nature wonders?W: Because they are so amazing, and I think they are worth protecting for future generations.W: Do you know how high Mount Qomolangma is?M: Yes, I learned about it from a TV program about world nature wonders.W: What are you going to do this summer vacation?M: I'm going to Lake Baikal to experience its clear water and unique ecosystem.W: Why is it hard to live in the Sahara Desert?M: Because it has little rainfall and extreme temperature changes between day and night.M: How can we protect nature wonders when we visit them?W: We should follow the rules and avoid littering.第二节听第6段材料，回答第6、7题M: Hi, Lucy.

Nature wonders like Mount Qomolangma, Lake Baikal and the Great Barrier Reef are not only beautiful but also essential for the earth's ecosystem. They maintain the ecological balance and provide habitats for many species.However, many of these wonders are in danger. For example, Lake Baikal is affected by pollution from nearby factories and tourists. The Great Barrier Reef is suffering from coral bleaching due to climate change. Mount Qomolangma is polluted by climbers' rubbish.So what can we do to protect them? First, we should reduce the use of plastic products when visiting nature wonders to avoid littering. Second, we should follow the rules of nature reserves and not damage plants or animals. Third, we can spread environmental awareness to our family and friends.Protecting nature wonders is everyone's responsibility. Let's work together to keep these precious gifts from nature safe and beautiful.参考答案2026年春期人教版八年级下册英语Unit4单元检测 参考答案 第一部分 听力理解 第一节（1-5题） 1.B 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.B 第二节（6-10题） 6.B 7.A 8.B 9.A 10.B 第二节（11-15题） 11.B 12.B 13.A 14.B 15.B 第二节（16-20题） 16.B 17.B 18.B 19.B 20.B 第二部分 完形阅读 第一节 完形填空（21-25题） 21.A 22.B 23.C 24.A 25.C 第一节 完形填空（26-30题） 26.A 27.D 28.C 29.B 30.C 第一节 完形填空（31-35题） 31.B 32.B 33.A 34.B 35.C 第二节 阅读理解（36-40题） 36.B 37.A 38.B 39.B 40.B 第二节 阅读理解（41-45题） 41.B 42.C 43.A 44.B 45.B 第二节 阅读理解（46-50题） 46.B 47.A 48.B 49.B 50.C 第二节 阅读理解（51-55题） 51.A 52.B 53.B 54.B 55.C 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 单词填空 56.mountain57.clear58.desert59.habitats60.protect61.thin62.store63.growth64.littering65.impression 第二节 语法填空 66.climbers67.achievement68.risk69.changeable70.survive71.determination72.because73.measure74.by75.the 第三节 信息归纳 1.cover2.coldest3.without4.until5.get 第四节 书面表达（参考范文） My favorite nature wonder is Lake Baikal.
