八年级第二学期英语第三次独立作业(试题卷)
一、阅读理解 (本大题共8小题,每小题2分,共16分)
A
Spider-Man (蜘蛛侠) is often thought of as one of the best superheroes (超级英雄) of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn’t created?
Stan Le came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was different from what had come before. He was a high school student who had everyday problems like us. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like working for money and caring for an old family member. They flew in the sky and fought aliens (外星人). Stan Lee was about to change that.
When Stan told his boss (老板) about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comic (漫画) books was going to stop. According to Stan Lee, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s look. Together, they put Spider-Man onto the covers of the 15th and last issue(期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy.
Spider-Man was a great success. The issue with the superhero on its cover sold quite well. And so, Spider-Man has his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most beloved fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don’t give up!

Loneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience. When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from your friends and family, here are some suggestions for you to avoid it.
Focus on your health. Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, try to take part in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and don’t eat junk food. Eating more fruit and vegetables will also help.
Bring an old hobby back to life. It’s much more difficult to feel lonely if you’re actively enjoying an activity, especially one that you are good at. If you’ve got a hobby that you love, try to spare time for it even if you are busy, such as reading, playing a sport, cooking, painting.
Avoid staying at home all day long. Spending your time in nature will probably improve your feelings and help you get over loneliness. Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness. You can go hiking, go boating or go on a bike ride if you are not interested in just walking around. You may go for a coffee with your friends or even make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. First, you can think about the possible activities you might want to take part in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If possible, include other people in your plan to make your activity more interesting.
All in all, it seems that facing your own loneliness is the first step to avoid loneliness. Do your best to follow the things above. It takes efforts, but it is worth your try.
5. Why do people feel lonely?
A. Because they live in a poor place.
B. Because they miss their loved people.
C. Because they like to experience that feeling.
D. Because they don’t want to stay with their friends and family.
6. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following may lead to loneliness?
A. Junk food. B. Enough sleep. C. Physical activity. D. Fruit and vegetables.
7. What can you learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Spending time planning the event will make us feel stressed.
B. Spending time at home alone can help avoid loneliness.
C. Enjoy the sunshine and we can feel less lonely.
D. It’s impossible to meet friends often.
8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍帮助我们避免孤独的几个建议。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from your friends and family”可知,会因为想念一个你爱的人或一个地方而感到孤独,或者因为准备离开你的朋友和家人而感到孤独,故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness.”可知,睡眠不足、缺乏体力活动和不健康的食物会让你感到疲惫和悲伤,从而导致孤独感。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness.”可知,阳光会让你感到更快乐,减少你的孤独感;由此推知享受阳光,我们可以感觉不那么孤独。故选C。
【8题详解】
篇章结构题。第一段总述孤独是一种感觉,并提出有一些建议可以帮助我们避免它;第二、三、四段是具体介绍如何避免孤独;第五段是总结全文。因此本文的结构为“总——分——总”。故选B。

八年级第二学期英语第三次独立作业(试题卷)
一、阅读理解 (本大题共8小题,每小题2分,共16分)
A
Spider-Man (蜘蛛侠) is often thought of as one of the best superheroes (超级英雄) of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn’t created?
Stan Le came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was different from what had come before. He was a high school student who had everyday problems like us. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like working for money and caring for an old family member. They flew in the sky and fought aliens (外星人). Stan Lee was about to change that.
When Stan told his boss (老板) about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comic (漫画) books was going to stop. According to Stan Lee, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s look. Together, they put Spider-Man onto the covers of the 15th and last issue(期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy.
Spider-Man was a great success. The issue with the superhero on its cover sold quite well. And so, Spider-Man has his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most beloved fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don’t give up!

A. they were sure of its success B. they were filled with sadness
C. they were actually taking a risk D. they were secretly killing the magazine

Loneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience. When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from your friends and family, here are some suggestions for you to avoid it.
Focus on your health. Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, try to take part in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and don’t eat junk food. Eating more fruit and vegetables will also help.
Bring an old hobby back to life. It’s much more difficult to feel lonely if you’re actively enjoying an activity, especially one that you are good at. If you’ve got a hobby that you love, try to spare time for it even if you are busy, such as reading, playing a sport, cooking, painting.
Avoid staying at home all day long. Spending your time in nature will probably improve your feelings and help you get over loneliness. Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness. You can go hiking, go boating or go on a bike ride if you are not interested in just walking around. You may go for a coffee with your friends or even make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. First, you can think about the possible activities you might want to take part in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If possible, include other people in your plan to make your activity more interesting.
All in all, it seems that facing your own loneliness is the first step to avoid loneliness. Do your best to follow the things above. It takes efforts, but it is worth your try.
