单元检测（二十六） A Job Worth Doing.阅读理解AAt first sight, Ronny looked like other kids in the firstgrade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes with windblown hair and a dirty face.On the days when it was Ronnys turn to read, he sat very close to me. I watched his dirty fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out “Bud the Sub”. It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet (字母)The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to take him up to the grade level. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award ceremony. I had gifts and certificates for everyone. It took me a while to think about where Ronny fit; I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader”. I showed Ronny his certificate and a book.A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, “He hasnt put that book down. Thats the first book hes ever owned.”Fighting back tears, I came to Ronny and asked，“Will you read me your book, Ronny？” He nodded.And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more fluently than Id ever thought possible for him. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said, “Good book.” At that moment, I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what that author had done care enough to make a difference in children.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者作为一名志愿者来到一所学校帮助孩子们提高阅读能力。然而，一个名叫Ronny的学生却让作者认识到了阅读的真正意义。1From the first two paragraphs, we know Ronny _.Awas popular among his classmatesBwas the dirtiest in his classChad trouble with his studyDdisliked the Reading Mom解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“. because of his difficulty with the alphabet (字母)”可知，Ronny在学习方面有问题。2Why did the author give Ronny a book?AShe liked Ronny very much.BShe wanted to encourage Ronny.CRonny had no money to buy books.DRonny was the most improved reader.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I believed the gift could cheer him up”可知，作者是想通过颁奖来鼓励Ronny。3After listening to Ronnys reading, the author felt _.Aupset and disappointedBworried and happyCcurious and satisfied Dmoved and surprised解析：选D推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Fighting back tears .”可知作者是带着感动的心情去听Ronny给她读书的，再根据倒数第二段“he read to me more fluently than Id ever thought possible for him”可知，作者因为Ronny进步非常大而感到很惊讶。4Which of the following can best describe the passage?ATrue happiness es from helping others.BA small action makes a big difference.CA teacher is better than two books.DOne is never too old to learn.解析：选B推理判断题。作者为了鼓励Ronny送了一本书给他，而这一小小的举动却对Ronny产生了很大的影响。BThis years Miss Chinatown Fashion Show was more than just a showcase for clothing and shoe designers. It was also a fundraiser (募捐活动) and volunteer signup event for the grassroots organization Reading to Kids. “We are looking for donations as well as volunteers to e and read，” said Reading to Kids volunteer Andrea Ramcke. “Its a volunteer organization. There are only two paid workers.”According to Reading to Kids, the organization tries to encourage underserved children with a love of reading so as to enrich their lives and chances of success in the future. “Its primarily for children who dont have a lot of reading in the home, whose parents are good at a second language or theyre good at a second language，” Ramcke said. “So we have a lot of immigrants from everywhere and lots of first generation kids who dont have a lot of books in the home.”At present, Reading to Kids gathers 901 children and 388 volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools.At the reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to groups of children divided up by age groups, while the parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. Ramcke also added that the kids are asked to join in by asking questions and reviewing the material along with doing a “craft (工艺) project in relation to the book”. Every child also gets a book to take home and books are donated to school libraries through the program.“The kids develop a love of reading，” Ramcke said. “Studying doesnt bee as hard to them when they learn how to explain it a little bit better. They learn how to think about their words. Their team munication skills and their grades go up.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。Reading to Kids在唐人街时装秀上募捐并招募志愿者。5What was special about this years Miss Chinatown Fashion Show?AIt encouraged people to read.BIt donated books to Reading to Kids.CIt offered support to Reading to Kids.DIt asked show designers to volunteer.解析：选C推理判断题。由第一段中的“It was also a fundraiser (募捐活动) and volunteer signup event for the grassroots organization Reading to Kids.”可知，该时装秀帮助Reading to Kids募捐和招募志愿者，故选C。6How often are the reading clubs held?AEvery day.
