(2023·山师大附中高二检测)It is often said that a person's high school years are some of the most important they will experience,and are often seen as a critical and lifeshaping time.During this period,people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their life.Volunteering at St.Clare's Hospital has helped me form this positive experience during my high school years.
When I first began volunteering,I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone.At the beginning of my volunteer experience I was rather timid and not very outgoing.Fortunately,as time went by,I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers,to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome,and to extend the hand of friendship to others.I have learned to respect diversity,which turns out to be particularly helpful in the real world.
My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the sick can brighten up the day of those lonely patients.There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the community.Now I feel content each time I finish my shift.This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause,and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life.
It's a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to my own and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life.Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame.And,to the best of my ability,I will follow this path of service throughout my life.

A.They deserve to be taken seriously.
B.They are often criticized by people.
C.They bring no significance to life.
D.They are full of unplanned experiences.
5.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The importance of diversity in the world.
B.The author's changes brought by volunteering.
C.Friendship between volunteers and patients.
D.Ways to help and respect patients.
6.What does the underlined word “timid” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Confident. B.Shy.
C.Brave. D.Calm.
7.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To call on the young to volunteer.
B.To share his volunteer experiences.
C.To explain the benefits of volunteering.
D.To introduce suitable community work.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者高中时在一家医院做志愿者的经历让作者获得了成长,并号召现在的青少年积极参与志愿者服务。
4.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is often said that a person's high school years are ...often seen as a critical and lifeshaping time.(人们常说,高中时期是一个人将经历的最重要的时期,通常被视为关键的、塑造人生的时期。)”可知,高中是一个人将经历的最重要的时期,通常被视为关键和塑造人生的时期,因此需要认真对待。故选A。
5.B [解析]主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知,作者刚开始做志愿者的时候非常害怕认识新朋友,害怕被挤出自己的舒适区,后来逐渐学会了向别人介绍自己,如何尽力让患者感到愉快,如何向他人伸出友谊之手,这些都是志愿者服务给自己带来的变化。故选B。
6.B [解析]词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词前一句“When I first began volunteering,I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone.(我刚开始做志愿者的时候,我很紧张,害怕认识新朋友,害怕被挤出自己的舒适区。)”及画线词后的“not very outgoing(也不是很外向)”可知,作者刚开始做志愿者的时候,很胆小害羞,也不太外向,故推测timid意为“害羞的”。故选B。
7.A [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,令作者非常遗憾的是许多青少年没有和其一样的经历,因此错过了一些可以在生活中学到的重要经验,因此作者想号召大家一起参与志愿者服务。故选A。
