推荐阅读：2018中考英语冲刺复习：阅读理解50题 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 C ①Supermarkets only sell food before its “sell-by” date. So where does food past its “sell-by” date go? The answer is in the trash bin. Besides shops, people also cast away a lot of food when they buy too much and can’t eat it up. To stop food waste, people have come up with great ideas. Take a look and try to join the action! ②Set up food banks. When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world’s first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants. It’s free for anyone to enjoy. ③Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves (货架) in special cafes. There, the food has no price label (标签). You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwi  de. And the number is growing quickly.
④Buy less. When there’s no food bank around, what can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less (无托盘). It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash. 38. The underlined words “cast away” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____. A. throw away B. take away C. give away D. put away 39. Which of the following is true according to the article? A. People need to pay for food from “share fridge”. B. Dining without trays helps to reduce food waste and save water. C. Fifty percent of American restaurants are going tray-less. D. The food in the Real Junk Food Project is free for anyone. 40. How does the writer organize the writing？ 
41. What’s the main purpose of the writing? A. To show how important the food bank is. B. To introduce some ways of stopping food waste. C. To ask people to buy food past its “sell-by” date. D. To discuss where the food past its “sell-by” date goes. D It happened two years ago. It was Mother’s Day morning. I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but t  here was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed(尴尬的) and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very sad about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”
At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling fish and chips and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture(姿势).” By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment(器具). He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very sad for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.” At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. 42. What does the writer want to tell us? A. One can never be too careful. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Love begins with a little smile. D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy. 43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson. B. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture. C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman surprised the flower seller. D.
