2025-2026学年（上）锡盟八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

  Our school’s science festival just ended a few days ago. What impressed(使留下深刻印象) me most was the time we spent making a car. It was made of corrugated cardboard(瓦楞纸板), but can still hold a person, as well as move.

1.我们对这个想法很激动， 但我们发现做辆车很难。It seemed impossible for a cardboard car to carry someone. Our physics teacher showed us a video. In the video, there was some corrugated cardboard shaped like a “V” or “W”. It is tougher (更加坚固) and can hold more weight. This gave us the idea to make the car after getting the proper materials.

2.Because there was not much time left for us, we had to finish it as quickly as possible. We talked about how the car should be made and how to do experiments with it. I was glad that we were able to work closely with each other. 3.每个人都认为这是个有趣的放松方法。Indeed, enjoying the process helped us feel less stressed. 4.When the car was finally finished, we all wore a smile on our faces and found that all our hard work had been worth it, even after spending the whole afternoon working on it.

We joined the competition after we finished the car. 5.Though we didn’t win, we found something more meaningful than success. We learned new things about physics and learned how to get along with each other.

27、Disney movies are very popular. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years. But there’s one thing about Disney movies you may never know. From Disney’s earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to more recent ones like Frozen, many Disney movies don’t have moms. In Disney movies, Mom is dead or simply never appears. Disney movie fans may wonder the reason for this strange fact.

Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death of Walt Disney’s mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mother’s death into his films. However, many of his movies before his mom’s death also lack moms. Hahn said lacking mothers is a way to bring out the themes like growing up in a short time. Many Disney movies came out after Walt’s death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.

We never know if Walt’s mother’s death made a difference to the mothers’ problem in Disney films, but it seems like it’s a common fact.

28、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式(每空一词)。

Do you know Alexander Graham Bell? He is known as one of great 【1】 (person) in the world because he invented telephone. However, he wasn’t the 【2】 (one) person to think of the idea. A man named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized (官方认定) as the 【3】 (invent) in 2002. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known 【4】 his invention at the time?

Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. People 【5】 (use) to communicate by letters at that time. Meucci discovered that sound could travel through metal (金属) when two places were connected 【6】 wire (导线). People in those places could hear cach other.

In 1850, Meucci and his wife moved to New York. Meucci was 【7】 (worry) about his wife because she had become very ill. He was so busy 【8】 he had no time to stay with her all time.
