课时作业5　Rhythm Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2019·安徽师大附中月考)‎ For 30 years, Eddie Rankin has been driving his truck before dawn each Saturday, coming to create a treasured weekly routine for people who populated Woodley‎ ‎Park and who became his devotees.‎ The tradition ended Saturday, when Rankin unloaded his last truck filled with fresh fruit and vegetables.‎ ‎“People will probably keep coming, but it won't be the same，” said Kate Shawcross, one of Rankin's first customers. “He knows your children's names and where they go to school — he's just the classic good neighbor, and here in Washington, we need some of that.”‎ Rankin was a farmers market pioneer, who got into farming by accident, said Bernadine Prince, executive director of FreshFarm Markets. Rankin is the coowner of Twin Springs Fruit Farm and has witnessed the explosion of American interest in fresh produce and locally grown food.‎ ‎“He's just one of those people who are interested in you as an individual and your tastes，” said Bernadine Prince. “Think about when you go to the supermarket: Who do you talk to? Nobody.”‎ In 1984, a “farmers market” consisted of some peaches, apples and cherries that the typical American might have considered as overpriced. But Rankin drew customers charmed by his huge smile and agricultural knowledge. He remembered to set aside things you asked for, would cash your check if you needed bills and gave your 10yearold child his or her first job.‎ The people who came to Saturday's market sang to Rankin, presented him with poems about his influence on their lives and told stories of good deeds he had done for them.‎ Many described coming to Rankin's market as a routine in their lives.‎ Rankin said he is retiring because he wants to spend more time traveling to see his children and a sister back in Ireland. The children of one of Rankin's partners are taking over Twin Springs.‎ He has a “fantasy”， he said, of using his knowledge to help fruitgrowers elsewhere in the world.‎ 8‎ He has faith that others can keep the Woodley‎ ‎Park market going, that the role of a farmers market is now established.‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。Eddie Rankin不仅向人们售卖新鲜的水果和蔬菜，还拉近了人与人之间的距离。当人们知道他要退休时，万般不舍，纷纷表达了对他的赞美并感谢他带给大家的正能量。‎ ‎1．People love Rankin mainly because he ________.‎ A．cares about customers B．always appears on time C．sells cheap and fresh goods D．offers whatever customers need 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He knows your children's names and where they go to school”，第五段中的“interested in you as an individual and your tastes”及第六段中的“He remembered to set aside things...gave your 10yearold child his or her first job.”不难看出，Rankin急顾客之所急，想顾客之所想，因此受到顾客的爱戴。‎ ‎2．Why has Rankin decided to retire?‎ A．Because he wants to travel around the world.‎ B．Because it's time for him to realize his fantasy.‎ C．Because he wants to have more time with his family.‎ D．Because it's time for new generations to take charge.‎ 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Rankin said he is retiring because he wants to spend more time traveling to see his children and a sister back in Ireland”可知答案为C项。‎ ‎3．What's the best title for the text?‎ A．Smile, when you meet each other B．Goodbye, the apple of market's eye C．The big fish in the smallfarmer pond D．We need good neighbors in ‎Washington 答案：B 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了农贸市场的农夫Eddie Rankin退休时人们的不舍。B项中的Goodbye表明了Eddie Rankin的退休；be the apple of sb.'s eye＝to be loved very much by someone, the apple of market's eye表明了Eddie Rankin对农贸市场的重要性，是对他30年工作的肯定。‎ 8‎ B ‎(2018·新课标全国卷Ⅲ)‎ Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more_is_more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.‎ I found the preholidays a good time to encourage young children to donate lessused things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金) (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)．‎ For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball—simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.‎ We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us. ‎ 本文作者通过引导孩子主动捐献或变卖玩具以及与儿子玩球的事例说明了简单物品能够使我们获得快乐。‎ ‎4．What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A．The more, the better.‎ B．Enough is enough.‎ C．More money, more worries.‎ D．Earn more and spend more.‎ 答案：A 解析：句意理解题。根据第一段内容可知，成年人明白到处堆满物品是什么感觉，但当提及孩子和他们的物品时，为什么我们总是认为越多越好呢？故选A。‎ ‎5．What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?‎ 8‎ A．Saving up for her holiday.‎ B．Raising money for a poor girl.‎ C．Adding the money to her fund.‎ D．Giving the money to a sick mother.‎ 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金)”可知，当我们承诺卖玩具所得费用将存入她的上学基金时，女儿就挑选了一些平时不经常玩的较大玩具卖了。故选C。‎ ‎6．Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?‎ A．To try out an idea.‎ B．To show a parent's love.‎ C．To train his attention.‎ D．To help him start a hobby.‎ 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this”可知作者与儿子进行球类游戏的目的是验证自己的想法，故选A。‎ ‎7．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Take It or Leave It B．A Lesson from Kids C．Live More with Less D．The Pleasure of Giving 答案：C 解析：标题判断题。全文围绕“Live More with Less”提出论点，逐层展开论述，最后得出论点的正确性。故选C。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2019·山东师大附中模拟考试)‎ One evening a young woman went alone to walk barefoot by the ocean after the sun had set.
