初三英语阅读完型练习5I. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）：(A)One evening David sat beside his father in a long sofa(沙发). “Why do you have wine before supper?” asked the boy.“Your father is very tired,” said his mother. “Let him have a good rest, David.”“It doesn’t matter,” said the father. “I help the farmers plant trees all day.”“Why do we plant many trees?” asked the boy again.“Because the trees can change our environment,” answered the father.“What’s the environment?”“You are too young. You don’t understand it,” said the father.“No, I’m six. I’m a young man,” said the boy. “I can understand it well. You must tell me all about it.”“All right, my young man,” said the father. “The environment means the place, the air, the weather and so on. For example, if we plant many trees, the sky will be clearer, the air will be fresher, we’ll have more rains all the year round and we’ll see birds and animals in the forest. By the way, can you tell me the differences between a bird and an elephant?”“I have seen them in the zoo. Of course I can tell you,” answered the boy. “Firstly, a bird has wings, and elephant doesn’t. Secondly, an elephant has a trunk (nose) and a long nose, a bird doesn’t.”“Anything else?” asked the father again.“Oh, I’m sorry I f orgot. The biggest differences are: A bird can stand on the back of an elephant, an elephant can’t stand on the back of a bird,” answered David again.True or False （判断下列句子是否符合短文，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示）：( ) 1. David’s father often drinks at noon.( ) 2. There are three people in the family.( ) 3. David’s father was very tired because he planted many trees. ( ) 4. Cutting down trees will keep our environment will.( ) 5. More trees and grass could change the weather.( ) 6. David saw some birds and elephants in the zoo.(B)The clock had just struck eleven when I first became aware(觉察到) of a noise coming from the lift. I opened the door of our flat and listened: someone was beating against the door of the lift and calling out at the same time.“What’s wrong?” I shouted. “The door is stuck, I can’t get out.”The answer came back. The voice, which sounded like that of a girl, came from several floors below.My wife had now joined me and she went off directly in search of the night porter(门卫). After calling to the girl that help was on its way, I went back into the flat to get some tools. Then I hurried down the stairs until I reached the place where the lift was stuck.I tried my hard at forcing open the lift door, taking all the while to the girl trapped inside, but my tools were no use for this purpose. Very soon, however, my wife returned. Unable to find the porter, she had called the police, who undertook(答应) to send an engineer. For good measure she had also contacted(联系) the fire service First the engineer turned up, accompanied by two policemen. Almost immediately afterwards the firemen arrived too. With his special equipment it took the engineer only a short while to get the door open. In spite of her experience, the girl was in good spirits. “I’m hungry,” was her only complaint as she stepped out of her cage. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：( ) 1.
