阅读理解1Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She does not like newspapers very much Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now they have begun to say, "We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is—food from paper. Scientists say, "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food, too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."So please keep your old books and letters. (Don't feed [喂] your cat.) One day, they will be on your plate, if what scientists say may come true.1.

He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got of bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed ,turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.A few minutes later he heard the bell again. Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. There were some words on it : "It is now after midnight(午夜), so it is April Fool's Day (禺人节) . April fool to you!""Oh , it was the English boy next door!" Mr. Lee exclaimed (惊叫) and almost smiled. He went back to bed and feel asleep at once. The bell did not ring again.1.

About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and lookedembarrassed (窘迫的. No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting.

Cars might go too fast and hurt people. Lost people might never be found. The police do a good job. We need them. And we should thank them for a job well done.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

初中英语阅读理解及答案（5篇）一Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.“I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.“You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.“I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, mor e as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift”“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”1.

You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.”Mason, a volunteer said.National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If oneexperience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”1. Volunteering can help .A. make a decisionB. see the world clearlyC. thank other peopleD. make person’s life better2. What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?A. They don’t have enough time.B. They are prevented by their families.C. They fear that their abilities are shared.D. They don’t expect to become volunteers.3.

If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend( 趋势) in Urumqi.“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others. ”Lin Tao, a junior student says.“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box. ”Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.”Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:◆The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.◆Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.◆Many clothes are too old and shabby( 破烂的).“What’s worse,”one of the staff in a community added, “We quiet often see people throw rubbishinto the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”In order to make the donation box work in an efficient( 有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will bebetter-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.1. Miss Li gives away her clothes because .A. her clothes are out of styleB. her mother clears out her clothesC. she is growing too fastD. she wants to make something2. The reporter from UTV has collected .A. 4 problemsB. 5 problemsC. 6 problemsD. 7 problems3. All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT .A. there's no more room for people to donate clothesB. people choose unsuitable places to set the boxC. sometimes the box is broken by someoneD. the clothes in the box are too old and shabby4. The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 4 means .A. the clothes donation boxesB. the old peopleC. handbags and pencil casesD. some clothes in the box5. We can infer( 推断) from the passage that .A. the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in needB. the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problemsC. the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of styleD. the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making money答案：1.

A五A young girl named Malala, born in 1997 in the northwest of Pakistan, is famous for supporting children and women to get education.In 2012, she was shot and seriously injured when she returned home on the school bus. Luckily, she was sent to the hospital in time and saved. After that, she went back to school and began to strive( 奋斗) for children and women to receive education.On October 10, 2014, the Nobel Prize for peace was awarded ( 授予) to Malala. She became the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize. However, Malala missed the most important event of being announced to be the winner of the prize. At the very moment, she was taking chemistry lessons in the classroom! After hearing the news, Malala chose to take her history and physics lessons as usual. She said calmly to the reporter, “I’m proud of getting this prize. Although the unforgettable date itself means something to me, it’s more important to finish the rest lessons today. After all, it’s a normal school day.”One year later, Amy Mainzer, an astronomical scientist of NASA, found a new planet. She named it “Malala”. When Amy Mainzer was interviewed by Times, she explained, “I think Malala has set an example for us. She is fearless and sticks to helping children and women get the right of being educated. Nothing can stop her.”Last year, Malala passed the entrance examination of Oxford University through her hard work.Before she finished her high school, she had written a book I am Malala. She said, “I hope the readers around the world have chances to read my book. My dream is that more and more people will realize it is extremely difficult for children and women in some areas to get education. Actually, my story is also the story of 61 million children. Every boy and every girl should have the right to go to school. ”1. How old was Malala when she won the Nobel Prize for peace?A. 17.B. 16.C. 15.D. 14.2.
