The key is to find a position that you would enjoy. It’s also important to make sure that your commitment matches the organization’s needs. Besides, the opportunities that match both your goals and interests are most likely to be fun and successful. Consider several volunteer possibilities Don’t limit yourself to just one organization or one specific type of job. Try to visit different organizations if necessary. Where to find volunteer opportunities ● Libraries or senior centers ● Local animal shelters, rescue organizations, or wildlife centers. ● Youth organizations, sports teams, and after-school programs. How much time should you volunteer? Volunteering doesn’t have to take over your life to be beneficial. In fact, research shows that just two to three hours per week, or about 100 hours a year, can be the most beneficial — to both you and your chosen causes. The important thing is to volunteer only the amount of time that feels comfortable to you. Getting the most out of volunteering Ask questions. You can ask if the experience is right for your skills, your goals, and the time you have to spend. Don’t be afraid to make a change. Don’t force yourself into a bad fit or feel forced to stick with a volunteer role you dislike. Talk to the organization about changing your focus or look for a different organization that’s a better fit. Enjoy yourself. If you’ re not enjoying yourself, ask yourself why. Finding what’s bothering you can help you decide how to go forward. 1. What might be the most important for a person to be a volunteer? A. His safety. B. His family. C. His salaries. D. His interests and goals. 2. How much time is needed to volunteer according to the passage? A. 2 months a year. B. 10 hours a day. C. 2 or 3 weeks a month. D. The amount of time suitable to you. 3. What should you do when the voluntary work is not what you expect? A. Ask questions. B. Find the reason. C. Look for a new post. D. Enjoy every day as usual. 4. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How to apply for a job. B. What to expect from a voluntary position. C. How to find the right volunteer opportunity. D. How much time to spend on the volunteering cause. B The Chinese character “he” (和) was selected as the most Chinese of Chinese ideograms (表意文字), carrying the most meaning for Chinese culture. Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, you can infer a nation’s spirit from its language. The character “he” reveals that China aims at building a “harmonious (和谐) society.” A good example may be that the words “harmony” and “peace” featured heavily in the opening ceremonies at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The character “he” (和) has two parts: “禾” (he), which means standing grain (and gives the character its pronunciation “hé”) and the character “口” (kou), which means mouth. The character has deeper roots in the Chinese spirit. It has been a favorite of Chinese philosophers (哲学家) — including Confucius — for at least thousands of years. It also appears in “fairness”, “balance”, “warmth” and a host of other terms that reflect the long-held desires of many Chinese people. Here are common expressions and proverbs with the Chinese character “he” (和)： 和谈 (hétán) — peace talks 和好 (hébǎo) — become friends again 君子和而不同 (jūnzǐhé’érbùtóng) — Gentlemen seek harmony but not uniformity. 5. The writer reveals China’s spirit of “harmony” in Paragraph 2 by ______. A. giving descriptions B. providing an example C. comparing opinions D. explaining its meaning 6. What does the part “禾” in the character “和” (he) mean? A. Mouth. B. Standing grain. C. Harmony. D. Warmth. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Language has a close relationship with culture. B. The Chinese character usually has two parts C. Language changes with time and the world. D. The Chinese character has the longest history. 8. In what situation can we say “héhǎo”? A. We insist on our own points of view. B. We stop quarreling and be friends again. C. We live and work in a peaceful country. D. We always have the same opinion on the matter. C So, how do pets have such a great positive effect on both our physical and mental health? It’s likely that there are a number of factors at play. First. pets offer company. Research shows that being alone can have a hugely harmful effect on our physical and mental health, with studies linking it to heart disease, anxiety, depression and so on. It also appears that pets promote (促进) social connections. Studies have shown that walking out with a dog result in much more conversations with passing strangers than walking alone. But, it’s not just dogs that can increase our social connections. A 1975 study gave a group of elderly individuals either a plant or a bird to look after over a period of three years. They found that those caring for a bird had built up a significantly bigger community of friends and visitors than those with a plant. Pet ownership can also come with increased exercise, which may help to explain some of the heart and mental health benefits. And it may explain why dogs, who need to be taken out regularly for walks, appear to be more beneficial for heart health than other pets. Although the exact mechanism (机制) of health promotion is still-unknown, one thing is clear: pets are great for our health and well worth bringing into our homes if we’ re looking to make new friends, add a spring to our step and perhaps even days to our life. 9. What will happen when you walk out with a dog? A. The dog will attack other animals. B. The dog will get excited outside home. C. Strangers will walk past you at a safe distance D. There will be more chances of talking with strangers 10. Why does the writer mention “a 1975 study” in Paragraph 3? A. To support an idea. B. To tell a story. C. To present a fact. D. To make a guess. 11. What will the writer probably recommend? A. Study the mechanism of health promotion. B. Grow some plants at home. C. Keep a pet at home. D. Do more exercise 12. How many positive effects of pets does the passage show? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. D Bike, bus, train, car, or plane? How do our travel choices impact the climate? The answer will be given in the book The Carbon Footprint of Everything by Mike Berners-Lee. Biking vs. Driving Riding a bike is always a better choice than driving. It’s healthier and you’ re not burning any petrol. But you’re still burning fuel — your food. Food choices matter. Raising cows for beef and dairy produces a lot of emissions (排放). Berners-Lee writes, “If your cycling calories come from hamburgers, the emissions are about the same as driving.” Bus vs. Train Buses and trains carry many people. So the carbon impact of the ride gets divided among all the passengers. The fuel powering a bus or train also needs to push all the weight that isn’t people. Trains are extremely large and heavy. All that extra weight makes the climate impact of a train ride more than that of a bus ride. Car vs. Plane Only about two percent of global emissions come from air travel. But that’s mainly because it’s much less common than other forms of travel. Planes carry more people than cars, so a plane trip is usually worse for the climate. Getting a heavy plane up into the sky and keeping it there burns lots of fuel. And today we can’t change to electric passenger planes because batteries aren’t yet powerful enough. Also, burning fuel high in the sky has a greater impact on climate change than burning the same amount of fuel close to the ground. “It’s hard to avoid flying less,” writes Berners-Lee. 13. What advantage does riding a bike have over driving? A. Burning less petrol. B. Benefiting health C. Pushing more weight D. Producing more emissions 14. Why is a bus ride better according to Paragraph 3? A. It is much heavier. B. It is much larger. C. Its emissions are fewer. D. It carries more people. 15. Why does air travel produce fewer global emissions? A. Traveling by plane is less common B. Planes carry more passengers. C. Planes use less fuel in the sky. D. Planes use powerful batteries. 16. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Causes of flying less B. Benefits of riding a bike C. Impacts of travel choice D. Advantages of electric planes E Part of growing up is learning how to work things out for yourself. However. when you’ re feeling sad or lost you don’t have to struggle alone. ______ There are lots of reasons why you could need help, for example, with schoolwork; learning a pew skill; or when you feel sad, anxious or angry. Feeling anxious because you’ re finding something difficult, or because it’s taking a long time to make progress, can alto make you feel like you can’t do it. These are all signs that you need help. When you’ re struggling with something. asking for help will move you forward more quickly than trying on your own. What stops you asking for help Asking for help isn’t always easy. It can be difficult if you’ re not sure who to ask. You might think your friends won’t want to be troubled or they haven’t got the time. If you feel sorry that you need help, or if you think asking for a helping hand is a sign of weakness, it makes it harder to turn to another person. Asking for support is brave Letting someone in trusting them with your story and asking them to listen to you and help you come up with ideas of how to deal with a problem takes great courage. When you ask for help, it takes the pressure off trying to work out everything by yourself. There are other benefits too. By asking for help, you practise saying what you need. It also shows you how someone else might feel when they’re struggling, which means you could be more able to offer a helping hand when someone needs it. 17. Which may best fill in the blank above Paragraph 2? A. Be sure of your ability B. Seeking help is a struggle C. When you might need help D. How you can make progress 18. Which may stop you asking for help? A. Being too busy. B. Having no friends. C. Being too confident. D. Feeling sorry. 19. How many benefits of asking for help are mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five 20. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Trust your best friends. B. Learn to reduce pressure. C. It is necessary to be independent. D. It is good to ask for help. 第二节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文下面各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 Fifteen-year-old Chen Ye has become the youngest Chinese champion in the 2023 Asian Games after winning the skateboarding (滑板) park men’s finals.
