―Goods online are often much cheaper. It also saves me a lot of time. And we often have more goods on many online stores than in shopping malls,‖ Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily. She stayed up very late for a lot of cheap goods online. She spent several thousand yuan on what she bought that day.
Another big advantage of online shopping is that it helps people get things from different cities, even different countries, with ease (轻松地). ―I like eating duck neck very much and I often buy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s much more delicious than what our local (当地的) stores sell, but cheaper,‖ said Zang Xin, a girl in Yangzhou.
While enjoying online shopping, many people also have worries, especially for middle school student buyers. Young students are easily attracted by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.
―Middle school students should pay more attention to their study. Searching for things wastes their time,‖ said Jing Chunling, an education expert. ―In addition, online shop owners have no idea of the ages of their buyers. Anyone can easily buy things that they want to. Some of goods are even bad for young students such as cigarettes and wine.‖

grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days：some days the sun shone, and some days it didn't.
In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn't have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.
Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits.
But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end. 51. The writer was very busy in the________ of his life.

When someone says, ―Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music.‖ , it doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert. It’s something far less pleasant, like being called in by your teacher to explain why you did this or that, and why you did not do this or that. Sour music, indeed, has to be faced. The phrase to face the music is familiar to every American, young and old. It’s at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?
The first information comes from the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said in 1851 that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, it is time to face the music. And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra（交响乐团） which was just below the stage.
An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines, he had to go out. So, to face the music came to mean having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.
The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection (检阅) by their leader.
八年级英语试题 第6页（共12页）
The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment ( 装备)clean shiny enough to pass inspection? Still, the men had to go out, and face the music of the band, as well as the inspection. What else could they do?
56. According to the passage, the word music means__________.
A. your teacher’s criticism B. your leader’s inspection C. something unpleasant to be experienced. D. sour pop music 57. The phrase to face the music was first used by___________.
A. all the Americans. B. the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. C. some American actors. D. the American orchestra.
58. An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage. One of the reasons is that ____________.
A. his performance might not satisfy most of the audience. B. he might not remember what he should say on stage. C. he had to face the unfriendly audience D. most of the audience might be his friends
59. To face the music is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing _________. A. to be examined about their equipment. B. to be found weak.
C. to show themselves up in public D. to be inspected by their leader 60. The passage is mainly about_________. A. the meaning of the phrase to face the music B. how to deal with something unpleasant. C. the phrase to face the music in America D. how to go through difficulty.
D
During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands and I said to myself, ―Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.‖
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A
八年级英语试题 第7页（共12页）
year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the
island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.
61. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________. A. escape in it B. get to the other side of the island C. use it for food D. go around the island
62. To survive(生存), the writer did the following EXCEPT _____________. A. keeping goats for milk B. making clothes from animal skins C. working in the cornfields D. going fishing in the sea 63. Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe? A. Because it was too small for a long journey. B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea. C. Because there was something wrong with it. D. Because the writer was busy building a second house. 64. From the story, we can learn that _____________. A. the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the island B. the writer had nothing to do on the wild island C. the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failed D. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom
65. According to this passage, what is the best word to describe the writer?[ A. excited B. brave C. adventurous D. hard-working

We have always been interested in the moon. （1）2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied.（2） Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same thing. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we’ll still be interested in it.
