She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains."Oh, how beautiful!" she said. "I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door."She walked back to the table.

Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears immediately!"When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside.

最新中考英语阅读理解英语期末复习（word）一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）1．阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.

And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking（咔嗒）sounds with his tongue（舌头） to help him move around. Much like a bat（蝙蝠）, he now moves about using sonar（声呐）. He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.How does sonar work?"When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect（反射）off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images（图像）.

I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every directionWhat is it like riding a bike using sonar?"It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do."Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone （骨头）as a kid.”How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?"Many students are surprised how quickly results come.

When he was nine years old, American boy Milo Cress had a question: How many plastic straws （吸管） do Americans use every day?He quickly learned there wasn't a simple answer. The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011.Cress started the project in his hometown – Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban （禁止）plastic straws.Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws."Focusing（聚焦） on straws is one simple step we all could take," Cress says. "And it makes me feel that I, as a kid, could make a difference, too."（1）When did Milo Cress start to care about the problem of straws?A. Ten years ago.B. In the year 2011.C. In the year that he was 9.（2）Cress started the Be Straw Free project in order to .A. get a good score in science at his schoolB. encourage people to reduce plastic wasteC. become a famous person in his hometown（3）What did Cress ask a restaurant in Burlington to do?A.

Count the number of straws it uses every day.（4）Plastic straws are especially terrible because .A. they are the most serious problem todayB. scientists pay little attention to their influenceC. they help people get used to using single-use plastics（5）Over the years, Cress has .① spread his project across the Unit ed States② asked Seattle to completely ban plastic bags③ counted the plastic straws in the ocean every year④ spoken to teens around the world about plastic wasteA. ①③B. ②③C. ①④【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）C（5）C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了塑料垃圾对环保的危害，Cress用环保吸管替代塑料吸管。
