《2025年初中英语话题复习暑假作业八年级人教版》

一、用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。
1. Tom thinks the photo is ______. It ______ that he had a happy childhood. (mean)
2. You need to remember what really ______ is being honest. And cheating in the exam is a serious ______. (matter)
3. He likes ______ with others. Through some ______, he can learn a lot. (communicate)
4. You shouldn't exercise with a full ______, or you will have a ______ easily. (stomach)
5. ______, Chinese people will take a shower before sleeping, but that may be ______ for some Americans. (usual)

答案： 2. 第一空，what引导的主语从句中缺少谓语动词，matter作动词时表示“重要”，主语是what，时态是一般现在时，动词用第三人称单数形式matters；第二空，a后面要用可数名词单数，matter作名词时表示“事情”，所以填matter。
3. 第一空，like doing sth.表示“喜欢做某事”，所以用communicating；第二空，some后面接可数名词复数或不可数名词，communication作“交流”讲时是可数名词，所以用communications。
4. 第一空，a full stomach表示“饱着肚子”；第二空，have a stomachache是固定短语，表示“胃痛”。
5. 第一空，修饰整个句子要用副词，usually表示“通常”；第二空，根据but可知前后意思转折，前面说中国人通常睡觉前洗澡，后面说对一些美国人来说可能不寻常，unusual表示“不寻常的”。
1. meaningful; seems 2. matters; matter 3. communicating; communications 4. stomach; stomachache 5. Usually; unusual

二、阅读选择。
The movie Erin Brockovich tells a story about fighting for fairness.
There is a small town in the US called Hinkley. More than 600 people catch different illnesses because the water there is seriously polluted by toxic(有毒的) waste from a company(公司). Some people lost their families; some lost hope for a better future; some even tried hard to stop themselves from having children. But a woman without any knowledge of law(法律知识) solves this case(案件) and gets fairness by fighting against the unkind company.
She is Erin Brockovich, a woman looking after three children by herself. She always hopes to have a proper job until she gets an unimportant job in a lawyer's office(律师事务所). Soon she notices the case about the polluted water problem. She collects evidence and surprisingly finds that the company's water has highly toxic things. It's terrible for the people there. Although meeting lots of difficulties, Erin fights bravely for fairness and finally she makes it.
Sometimes we may not be satisfied with our lives and think it isn't fair. But let's take a look at Erin. When she has nothing, she never stops trying. When she meets a case that is almost impossible to win, she still keeps on trying. The story teaches me to face difficulties in life bravely.
() 1. How does the writer show people are influenced(影响) by toxic waste in Paragraph 2?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving some numbers. C. By giving some examples.
() 2. Which of the following can be completed with the underlined word "evidence"?
A. He has ______ to show his words are true.
B. I can guess their ______ after talking to them.
C. The student found much ______ after finishing the homework.
() 3. What does the writer think of Erin?
A. Kind and strict. B. Smart and lucky. C. Brave and independent.
() 4. Which of the following is TRUE about Erin?
A. She lives a happy life. B. It's her first time to solve a case.
C. She wants to solve the water pollution problem before working in the lawyer's office.
() 5. What does the movie mainly tell us?
A. Always work hard to be successful.
B. Never give up when facing difficulties.
C. Keep on trying when getting a chance(机会).

答案： 2. “evidence”意为“证据”。A选项“He has ______ to show his words are true.”意思是他有____来证明他的话是真的，这里填入“evidence”（证据）合适；B选项“I can guess their ______ after talking to them.”根据语境应是猜测他们的想法等，用“evidence”不合适；C选项“The student found much ______ after finishing the homework.”完成作业后找到的一般不是证据，用“evidence”不合适，所以选A。
3. 文中提到“She is Erin Brockovich, a woman looking after three children by herself.”说明她很独立；“Although meeting lots of difficulties, Erin fights bravely for fairness and finally she makes it.”以及“When she meets a case that is almost impossible to win, she still keeps on trying.”说明她很勇敢，所以作者认为她勇敢且独立，选C。
4. A选项，文中未提及她生活幸福；B选项，从“She always hopes to have a proper job until she gets an unimportant job in a lawyer's office(律师事务所). Soon she notices the case about the polluted water problem.”可知这是她第一次处理案件，该项正确；C选项，她是在律师事务所工作后才注意到水污染案件的，不是之前就想解决，该项错误，所以选B。
5. 文章最后“The story teaches me to face difficulties in life bravely.”以及前面描述她面对几乎不可能赢的案件仍坚持尝试，说明电影主要告诉我们面对困难时不要放弃，选B。
1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.B
