2026秋新外研八上首字母填空练习（课文改编） 2026秋外研版八年级上册课文首字母填空练习（12篇） 一 Unit 1（1）A red red rose I suppose everyone has something they don't like about themselves. For me, it was the b______ (1) on my face. It was bright red, the colour of a strawberry. Sometimes, I felt people secretly looking at my face. But when I turned my head, they looked away. On crowded buses and trains, it felt just like a d______ (2). With so many people around me, my birthmark burnt red hot. Therefore, I always kept my hair long to c______ (3) it until that day. It was a cloudy morning. A new student named Maddie arrived in our class. She sat right beside me. Instead of looking away, Maddie s______ (4) my face. This made me so nervous. Suddenly, she said something I would never forget. “Sally, right?” she said. “You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!” I looked up and met her s______ (5) eyes. Although I only replied “thank you”, it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the m______ (6). For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away. The s______ (7) of it was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her o______ (8) face! I haven't told Maddie the whole story yet. Anyway, she has c______ (9) me. I have already learnt that I am what I am. Everyone has something special and different – that is what's i______ (10). 二 Unit 1（2）Impossible ---I'm possible “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I'm possible’.” Audrey Hepburn said this. However, doubts and fears often h______ (1) us back. How can we face them and succeed? The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. He began his s______ (2) life in 2006. At that time, no one from Asia had ever run the 100m race in less than 10 seconds. Su trained hard and quickly became one of the f______ (3) runners in Asia. In 2011, he ran the race in 10.16 seconds. However, Su wasn't satisfied. To run in under 10 seconds, in 2014, he changed his starting leg. This was a very r______ (4) decision. He had to start from zero. At first, he was slower than before. Also, he was 25 years old. At such an age, many runners choose to stop running. People d______ (5) his decision. However, Su fought his fears and became a sporting hero. In 2015, he clocked 9.99 seconds and made h______ (6). In 2021, he finished in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics. He also became the first Chinese athlete to run in the Olympic 100m f______ (7). Su Bingtian has told youngsters, “Never let your age hold you back. Have a try and try h______ (8). I believe you can write your own story.” Nothing is impossible as long as you try and s______ (9) to it. Everyone can be a Superman! His story teaches us to face our fears with c______ (10). 三 Unit 2（1）The Selfish Giant Every afternoon, the children play in the Giant's garden. It is a large garden with soft, green grass. Here and there, over the grass, stand beautiful flowers, like s______ (1). The Giant has been away for a long time. One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. “What are you doing here?” he shouts in a very a______ (2) voice. The children run away. The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn't seen a child there. Then spring comes. But in the Giant's garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year,” says the Giant. “I hope the weather c______ (3) soon.” But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives n______ (4) to the Giant's garden. One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. He jumps out of bed and looks outside. He sees a h______ (5) in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. “How s______ (6) I've been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn't come here.” He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid. “Fear not, little ones,” the Giant says. “It's your garden now.” The Giant finally understands that sharing brings j______ (7). He learns that k______ (8) is the key to happiness. From then on, the children play in the garden every day. The Giant becomes kind and h______ (9). He no longer feels lonely because he has the children as his f______ (10). 四 Unit 2（2）Six chi away, but closer together Narrow lanes are very c_______(1) in China. They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing s_____(2). But LiuChiXiang (Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most f______ (3) one. Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach an a______ (4). The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, asking for a______ (5). When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside. The poem said: “A letter from far away just for a wall / Is not right or good at all. / Three chi to your neighbour as a gift / Is nothing as time continues to drift.” After reading it, the Zhang family felt a______ (6). They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply m______ (7) the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi. And so came the six-chi-wide lane b_____(8) the two houses. Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in m______ (9). Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how k______ (10) encourages more kindness. 五 Unit 3（1）A helping hand Easton LaChappelle, a 14-year-old student, stood beside his work at a science fair. It was a robotic arm. He built it out of plastic blocks and fishing line. “Hello,” said a girl with an a______ (1) arm, as she shook hands with Easton's work. This was the first time Easton met Jenny. She was born w______(2)an arm. Her artificial arm was just a simple hook, but it cost $80,000. What's w______ (3), children like her grow quickly and need new arms all the time. This created a difficult c_______(4) for Jenny's family. “It blew me away!” thought Easton. “I built my arm for only $300. I must l______ (5) a hand to people like her.” After the fair, Easton's room became a lab. He stayed there all day. He always tried to i______ (6) his work. For his 16th birthday, Easton got a 3-D printer. And with it, he i______ (7) an artificial arm. It was able to move with brain signals of the user. But it wasn't good enough yet: the arm weighed 3.6 kilograms. It was too h______ (8) for a child. Easton kept working on it. He enjoyed f______ (9) problems one after another. And finally he hit on success at age 23. His design only weighed 0.5 kilograms and cost around $500! Easton's invention has helped many children. He didn't want to make money from it. He decided to post his design online — for f______ (10)! People can download the design and make an artificial arm with their own 3-D printers! What a helping hand! 六 Unit 3（2）Curiosity works like a key Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Many great inventions in history are the result of people's c______ (1). For example, Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world. He wondered, “How does everything in the world move?” This strong curiosity d______ (2) him to spend years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China's first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. These achievements played an important r______ (3) in the development of science. Benjamin Franklin is another example. He was d______(4) to electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research. Stories said he flew a kite during a storm out of curiosity. This helped him know more about electricity and later he invented the lightning rod. This invention helps p______ (5) buildings from lightning. Now let's look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was s______(6) curious about space that he invented a “flying chair!” But sadly he lost his life when he t______ (7) his invention. Even though his curiosity didn't lead to success, his idea gave later generations the c______ (8) to keep exploring space. Curiosity works like a k______ (9). It opens new doors for us to learn and discover. When we stay curious and ask questions, we can always explore more and find a______ (10) things in the world. 七 Unit 4（1）Digital shock I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday. I've been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a c______ (1)! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital p______ (2) here. Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 20-minute ride cost me an arm and a l______ (3) – 4.8 pounds! In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't u______ (4)! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use c______ (5). As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash. When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an a______ (6) instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone-cold! I had to heat them one by one in the o______ (7). I felt tired and hungry. Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more c______ (8) life! In China, everything is so e______ (9). I hope the UK can catch up soon. Digital life has both a______ (10) and disadvantages. 八 Unit 4（2）The fun they had In her diary, on 17 May 2157, Margie wrote: “Today, Tommy found a real book!” It was a very old book. They turned the old, yellow pages. It was s______ (1) to read the words. They stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen. “What a waste!” said Tommy. “When you f_____(2) the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have a million books on it! I wouldn't throw it away.” Margie asked, “What's the book about?” “School.” “Why would anyone write about school?” “B______(3) it's an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago. They had a teacher, but it was a p______ (4). There was a special building, and all the kids and teachers went there.” Margie wanted to read about those funny schools. But her mother called, “Margie! School!” Margie's classroom was right n______(5) to her bedroom. Her teacher was a m______ (6). It was on and waiting for her. The screen was lit up. The machine said: “Today's lesson is on maths. Please put yesterday's homework in the opening.” Margie did so s______ (7). She was thinking about the old schools. All the kids from the neighbourhood came, and laughed and shouted in the p_______(8). They sat together in the classroom, and went home together after school. And the teachers were people...

A minute later, the man next to me took out several packets of food. It was like he was on a picnic. People have to eat, of course, but the food was so s______ (2)! It was like sitting next to a mountain of blue cheese. I covered my ears in order to block the noise coming from Rock Girl. I held my b______ (3) so as to reduce the smell coming from Mr Smelly Food. Then a boy behind me started to k______(4) my seat. My anger grew. My face turned as red as a tomato! I asked him to stop. H_______(5), his mother replied, “Come on, he's just a k______ (6).” I turned around so as to see the other passengers' faces. They also seemed unhappy, but no one did anything. Will they think me a f______ (7) if I do something? I looked at the signs on the wall. They read “Please be quiet”, “No smelly food” and “Please look after your children”. Everyone knows the r______ (8), I thought. They aren't just on the wall but also in our minds and hearts. And rules are there for us to follow! Suddenly, I felt brave. I took a deep breath, stood up and cleared my t______ (9)... This experience taught me that sometimes we need to s______ (10) up for what is right. 十 Unit 5（2）Are you safe online Think 20 years back when chatting face to face with loved ones far away was a dream.
