Passage 1
(22-23高二下·辽宁鞍山·期中)I love travelling. One of my fondest memories of travel is when I spent a few days backpacking in Bucharest, Romania. An unexpected act of kindness from a stranger truly made me feel moved. 1
The first day I arrived in Bucharest I had to take the bus from the train station to my accommodation. I boarded the bus and found out that none of my cards worked and I wasn’t able to buy a ticket. 2 Although I explained that it wasn’t my intention and I had just arrived from Brasov, they still didn’t believe me and fined me for not having a ticket.
After doing some research online, I found that most buses in Bucharest do not accept cash or any form of payment onboard. You have to purchase a card at certain places in the city, top it up with money, and then pay onboard. 3 You can use wireless pay to purchase a ticket. I was delighted after finding out such good news as I did not want another fine.
4 After I got on the bus, I found the ticket machine to be the same as the one I had met with on my first day in Bucharest. I tried in vain every method, including wireless pay, Apple Pay and cash. 5 At that moment, a kind middle-aged man standing next to me handed me a card. I understood that it was a card for the bus. The man paid for my bus ride.
A.I started to panic.
B.Few things seemed to work.
C.It is still vivid in my mind now.
D.One place I will never forget is Romania.
E.Worse still, I was stopped by policemen on the bus.
F.However, the buses connecting to the airports are more modern.
G.Fast forward to my last day, I planned to take the bus to Bucharest Airport.
Passage 2
(23-24高三上·山东菏泽·期末)Does your dog always want to go wherever you’re going and most of the time, this behavior is welcomed? 1 However, if you find your dog doing this too often or if it’s accompanied by other troubling behavior like eating less, going outside less often or interacting less with other family members, there could be potential issues.
2 Usually, it’s simply out of loyalty and the close relationship that’s been created with its owner, because he or she is the one that provides care and comfort and keeps it safe. However, sometimes, your dog wants to follow you possibly due to something negative. 3
Dogs are emotional animals and may feel anxious for some reason sometimes. It may take much time and training to help your dog work through what’s causing the problem 4 You’ll have to work with your dog consistently or hire a professional trainer.
One way to stop your dog from following you might be putting it in a secure and reliable area. 5 If your dog spends all of its time with you and you alone, it may express a dislike for being away from you or interacting with other humans or dogs.
A.You and your dog must have a similar lifestyle.
B.You may think it’s because it loves and trusts you.
C.There are many reasons why dogs follow their owners.
D.For example, it could be ill, bored, nervous or stressed.
E.Keep in mind that the behavior won’t be cured overnight.
F.Another trick might be to make sure your dog socializes enough.
G.This could be especially true if dogs can take care of themselves.
Passage 3
(22-23高二下·重庆·阶段练习)Safer Internet Day is a yearly event in which Internet companies, charities, and schools team up to talk about how young people can stay safe online. 1
This year’s event is on 8th February. 2 And it will focus on respect and relationships in games, social apps, and anywhere else that people spend time online. Safer Internet Day is happening as the UK Government works on its Online Safety Bill, which will introduce more rules for how social media and technology companies keep people safe when using their services.
It will put an organization called Ofcom in charge. 3 “Any service that is used by children in the UK will have to understand the risks and put in place measures to keep them safe,” says Tony Stower, who is in charge of online safety at Ofcom.
4 They can learn about how they can help to make the Internet a safe and positive place. “They can be good digital citizens, remembering that if you send a message that might be mean or unpleasant, that’s going to hurt the person receiving it,” says Stower. “ 5 Tell a trusted adult — a teacher, a parent or an older sibling, for example — if you see something that worries or scares or upsets you online.”
A.Its theme is “All Fun and Games?”.
B.Ofcom has carried out surveys with young people.
C.30% of young people say they have been bullied online.
D.This organization will make sure all tech companies follow the new rules.
E.If you get those kinds of messages, it’s also important that you report them.
F.Meanwhile, he hopes that the event will be a helpful reminder for young people.
G.They also talk about how young people can avoid having bad experiences online.
Passage 4
(23-24高二下·河南漯河·期末)Yesterday I volunteered with some of my fellow Rotaract Club of Hampstead, Hendon, and Golders Green (HH&GG) members at the Hampstead Christmas Festival. Rotaract is a service club for people aged 18 to 30. Through the Rotaract program, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills. 1 .
When we arrived at the Festival we had no idea what we would be asked to do. 2 . My feet were wet within minutes of getting there!
3 , making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show. I’m pleased to say we managed to do this successfully! We also were able to hear the Chicken Shed Theatre group and An get Blue singing — both were brilliant.
However, volunteering isn’t supposed to be fun, is it? It is supposed to be a selfless act which you do for others, so the fact that you don’t enjoy it doesn’t matter, right?
Wrong! 4 ! It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting, but it can always be fun. And volunteering isn’t necessarily a selfless act — you can learn and develop skills, try new things, and meet lots of new and interesting people.
We gave up our time to help out at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be. 5 . For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required. We had a fantastic experience this Sunday afternoon.
A.It was a cold, dark, rainy day
B.Volunteering is supposed to be fun
C.Also they can help their local community
D.Our role at the event would be to turn the lights on
E.Some past members of the club have benefited a lot
F.Our role at the Festival was to stand behind the stage
G.We not only had an important job but also helped in other ways
Passage 5
(22-23高二下·全国·单元测试)If you always take on too many projects at once and spend too much of your time doing things you don’t want to do, or if you always get things done, but they are not always the best you can do, you must be a person who’s terrible at saying no. 1
Being a quitter isn’t being someone who doesn’t see important things through to the end. 2 By quitting these things, you’ll free up time to do things that actually create value. You’ll be able to begin to put your time and effort into the things you’d actually like to do.
3 We say, “Well, I’ve already invested (投入) so much time in this, I might as well hold on to the end.” Instead, quit as often as possible, regardless of the time invested. If you’re reading a book and don’t like it, stop reading. 4 Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?
Let’s learn how to say “no” at the beginning or in the middle and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing and the things actually worth doing. 5 But if we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.
A.Everyone’s time is different.
B.Then it’s time for you to be a quitter.
C.The ability to say no is important in our lives.
D.Saying no is hard and admitting a mistake is even harder.
E.The cleverest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more.
F.A quitter is someone who gets out when there’s no value in what he’s doing.
G.We always get involved in something, realize we don’t like it but keep on going.

Teens can also start recycling projects, and encourage their neighbors to participate in efforts to clean up the environment and live a more sustainable lifestyle.
● Tutoring
Teens who want to help in their communities can volunteer by tutoring others. They can participate in peer tutoring at their school, or offer their services at a local library. 4 Language tutoring provided by companies usually charge a great deal for their services, so immigrants of the community will be especially grateful to receive free tutoring. 5 It also helps teens expand their mind, look good on college and job applications, and find potential career paths.

Passage 8
(23-24高二下·广东·期末)On a large scale, making the world a better place can seem challenging. 1 As a leader, your perspectives and ideas can directly impact your community for the better. Here are some ways to make an impact and grow your leadership through emotional intelligence.
2 Being able to provide a safe space through deep listening creates trust, which lays the foundation for meaningful relationships and fruitful partnerships. As a result, people are more likely to share openly and honestly. Empathy and listening will increase the quality of your relationships and skyrocket your results.
Making a positive impact can also be as simple as taking the time to acknowledge and inspire someone into action. Taking time to acknowledge someone by letting them know you see their efforts and talents. 3 An example of what this could sound like is, “Wow! I am blown away by your project. What I see possible for you is to share with the rest of the team how to do it too.”
Get involved with your already existing communities and networking circles. Start by connecting with your peers and ask them about causes they’re already involved in. 4 There is almost no limit to the impact you can create contributing to a cause that matters to you and your peers. With a little time, you can make a big difference.
Sharing your knowledge and strengths is another essential skill. When you share with others, you’re teaching them something special about you and your journey.

Passage 9
(23-24高二下·广东·阶段练习)You’ve sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community. 1 Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area — or farther afield.
Identify your values.
2 Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary (互补的) missions and opportunities. For instance, if your primary motivation is to strengthen social connections with peers, you might look to organizations such as school groups that require interaction with other parents, or neighbors.
If you’re motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them. 3
Try to involve the whole family.
Many parents who volunteer turn giving back into a family affair. Community service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness. 4 Look for volunteer engagements that welcome people of all ages and abilities, and schedule time for the whole family to participate —whether that means spending an afternoon picking up trash on the side of the highway, or a week in a faraway flood zone.
5
Once you find a well-run organization that aligns with (符合) your availability, values, talents, and objectives, work with your contact there to set a volunteer schedule that fits your life. If you’re exploring a frequent engagement — say, a weekly or biweekly commitment —think carefully about how much time you can afford to donate. It’s better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload.
A.What motivates you to give back?
B.Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
C.Are you ready to build a list of ideal places to volunteer?
D.It’s also an opportunity to spend more time with your family.
E.Don’t overthink the process of finding opportunities to volunteer.
F.Whatever your motivations are, there’s an organization out there that needs your help.
G.Now comes the most difficult part: finding volunteer opportunities that are right for you.
Passage 10
(22-23高二下·福建三明·期末)What do you do with old stuff? That top you bought for a party three years ago, for example You wore it once and it’s been hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜) ever since. You could throw it away, but that seems wasteful-after all it’s still perfectly usable. So, what to do? 1
The first charity shops appeared in Britain in the 19th Century. The Salvation Army, a UK charity, was one of the first to run a second-hand clothing shop to provide the poor and needy with affordable clothes. 2 It also raised money for the war effort during World War Two.
These days, charity shops are a common sight with around 11,200 shops across the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association. During business hours any member of the public can donate their unwanted items to a charity shop. 3 These items are checked and if found still serviceable, priced up to be sold at a heavily discounted price.
For many this is a win-win situation. 4 To the consumer, it provides the opportunity to buy, often extremely cheaply, items and clothes. To the donator, it may help to ease consumer guilt “You can make a pretty good case, because what you are doing is going towards a charitable cause and you are saving stuff from landfill,” Clare Press, fashion journalist and sustainable style advocate, tells the Guardian.
5 On more than one occasion a buyer has purchased something very cheaply, only to later discover its true value. It sold at auction (拍卖会) for £4,200. So next time you need to rid yourself of something, spare a thought for the charity shop-after all, charity begins at home!
A.Most charity shops will take anything.
B.Here are some tips that you can follow.
C.It’s recommended to donate new items.
D.In the UK, we might take it to a charity shop.
E.There are sometimes hidden treasures for the buyers, too.
F.To the charity, it means they can pursue their charitable aim.
G.This was followed by charities such as the British Red Cross.

Passage 14
(2024·全国·模拟预测)Volunteering is a transformative act that not only benefits individuals but also has a profound impact on communities. 1 :
Providing Unmet Needs
Volunteers play a crucial role in addressing unmet needs within communities. They step up to fill gaps in services, provide assistance to vulnerable populations, and support community organizations and nonprofits. 2 , whether it’s feeding the homeless, tutoring disadvantaged children, or offering support to the elderly.
Inspiring Community Engagement
3 , they are inspired to get involved themselves. Volunteers often share their experiences, raising awareness and motivating others to contribute their time and resources. This increased community engagement leads to a more active and participatory community, where individuals work collectively to address challenges and create positive change.
4
When individuals come together with a common purpose, they create a sense of belonging and unity. Volunteers cooperate with like-minded individuals, forming friendships and networks that extend beyond the volunteering experience. These social connections not only enhance the social fabric of a community but also contribute to increased citizen engagement and a greater sense of collective responsibility.
Enhancing Community Health and Happiness
Through healthcare initiatives, volunteers provide medical support, health education, and resources to underserved populations. 5 , volunteers contribute to the overall well-being of the community.

Passage 15
(23-24高二下·河南开封·期中)How Can Volunteering Help You Get a Good Job?
Sometimes, by giving just a little, you can get a lot back in return. This couldn’t ring more true for volunteering. Here are just some of the things volunteering can do for your employ ability.
1
Employers like to see evidence of practical work experience on your CV (简历) — it tells them that you have the soft skills needed to work as part of a team and are able to handle responsibility. So, if the “work experience” section of your CV is: looking a little bare, volunteering is a great way to flesh it out. Even if the role isn’t super relevant to the job you want after university, so long as there are transferable (可迁移的) skills, it will be valuable for your CV.
Introduce you to new people
If you are volunteering in the sector you want to eventually work in, it will be a great way for you to network with people who have already broken into the field. 2 . They’d also make great references to refer future employers to.
Help you develop valuable skills
3 , but getting hands-on experience is key to really being able to transition into employment smoothly. Lectures and seminars can’t really teach you personal skills like leadership, time management, how to best communicate with colleagues or how to act in a professional manner, which are all valuable to employers. 4
Boost your confidence
You’ll experience so many personal benefits from helping the community or lending a hand for a worthwhile project. 5 . All of this-as well as the practical experience itself-will boost your confidence, meaning you can approach job applications and interviews with renewed courage and belief in yourself.
A.Improve your CV
B.Update your interview skills
C.Volunteering is a great way to push you ahead
D.University prepares you for work academically
E.Volunteering can help you develop all of these and plenty more
F.It can help give you a fresh sense of purpose and make you feel valued
G.Use the opportunity to pick their brains, get insider advice and find out job opportunities

Passage 1
(22-23高二下·辽宁鞍山·期中)I love travelling. One of my fondest memories of travel is when I spent a few days backpacking in Bucharest, Romania. An unexpected act of kindness from a stranger truly made me feel moved. 1
The first day I arrived in Bucharest I had to take the bus from the train station to my accommodation. I boarded the bus and found out that none of my cards worked and I wasn’t able to buy a ticket. 2 Although I explained that it wasn’t my intention and I had just arrived from Brasov, they still didn’t believe me and fined me for not having a ticket.
After doing some research online, I found that most buses in Bucharest do not accept cash or any form of payment onboard. You have to purchase a card at certain places in the city, top it up with money, and then pay onboard. 3 You can use wireless pay to purchase a ticket. I was delighted after finding out such good news as I did not want another fine.
4 After I got on the bus, I found the ticket machine to be the same as the one I had met with on my first day in Bucharest. I tried in vain every method, including wireless pay, Apple Pay and cash. 5 At that moment, a kind middle-aged man standing next to me handed me a card. I understood that it was a card for the bus. The man paid for my bus ride.
A.I started to panic.
B.Few things seemed to work.
C.It is still vivid in my mind now.
D.One place I will never forget is Romania.
E.Worse still, I was stopped by policemen on the bus.
F.However, the buses connecting to the airports are more modern.
G.Fast forward to my last day, I planned to take the bus to Bucharest Airport.
【答案】1. C 2. E 3. F 4. G 5. A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了在罗马尼亚的布加勒斯特的背包旅行,一个陌生人出乎意料地帮助了无法支付公共汽车车费的作者,这个善举令作者非常感动。
1. 根据前文“One of my fondest memories of travel is when I spent a few days backpacking in Bucharest, Romania. An unexpected act of kindness from a stranger truly made me feel moved.(我最美好的旅行回忆之一是我在罗马尼亚的布加勒斯特背包旅行了几天。一个陌生人出乎意料的善举真的让我感动。)”和下一段中“The first day I arrived in Bucharest I had to take the bus from the train station to my accommodation.(到达布加勒斯特的第一天,我必须从火车站乘公共汽车到我的住处。)”可知,前文在说明罗马尼亚的布加勒斯特之旅令作者难忘,下一段开始回忆具体的旅行情况,空处需起到衔接的作用,过渡到下一段的回忆。C项“那件事至今仍历历在目。”符合语境,其中的“It”指前文的“An unexpected act of kindness from a stranger”,“vivid in my mind”可以引起下一段开始的回忆。故选C。
2. 根据前文“I boarded the bus and found out that none of my cards worked and I wasn’t able to buy a ticket.(我上了公共汽车,发现我的卡都不能用,我无法买到票。)”和后文“Although I explained that it wasn’t my intention and I had just arrived from Brasov, they still didn’t believe me and fined me for not having a ticket.(虽然我解释说这不是我的本意,我刚从布拉索夫来,但他们仍然不相信我,并因为我没有票而罚款。)”可知,前文叙述作者遇到了困难,无法付款买票,后文叙述作者还被罚款,空处需起到衔接的作用,说明情况更糟糕了。E项“更糟糕的是,我在公共汽车上被警察拦住了。”符合语境,后文的“they”指代其中的“policemen”。故选E。
3. 根据前文“You have to purchase a card at certain places in the city, top it up with money, and then pay onboard.(你必须在城市的某些地方买一张卡,充满钱,然后在车上付款。)”和后文“You can use wireless pay to purchase a ticket.(你可以用无线支付买票。)”可知,前文解释了布加勒斯特的大部分公共汽车付款的方式,后文提到的方式更为方便先进,空处应该会有转折,过渡到后文这种更便捷的方式。F项“然而,连接机场的公共汽车更加现代化。”符合语境,其中的“more modern”指后文的“use wireless pay”。故选F。
4. 根据后文“After I got on the bus, I found the ticket machine to be the same as the one I had met with on my first day in Bucharest.(上车后,我发现售票机和我在布加勒斯特第一天遇到的那台一样。)”可知,本段讨论旅程中另外一天的事情,空处需从上面段落的内容过渡到这一天。G项“快进到我的最后一天,我计划乘公共汽车去布加勒斯特机场。”符合语境,呼应后文的遭遇。故选G。
5. 根据前文“I tried in vain every method, including wireless pay, Apple Pay and cash.(我尝试了各种方法,包括无线支付、Apple Pay和现金,但都徒劳无用。)”可知,作者之前以为去机场的公共汽车上可以无线支付,但是实际上各种支付方式都不行,结合第一天就被罚款的经历可以推测,空处会叙述作者开始紧张慌乱。A项“我开始恐慌起来。”符合语境,承接前文。故选A。

Passage 4
(23-24高二下·河南漯河·期末)Yesterday I volunteered with some of my fellow Rotaract Club of Hampstead, Hendon, and Golders Green (HH&GG) members at the Hampstead Christmas Festival. Rotaract is a service club for people aged 18 to 30. Through the Rotaract program, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills. 1 .
When we arrived at the Festival we had no idea what we would be asked to do. 2 . My feet were wet within minutes of getting there!
3 , making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show. I’m pleased to say we managed to do this successfully! We also were able to hear the Chicken Shed Theatre group and An get Blue singing — both were brilliant.
However, volunteering isn’t supposed to be fun, is it? It is supposed to be a selfless act which you do for others, so the fact that you don’t enjoy it doesn’t matter, right?
Wrong! 4 ! It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting, but it can always be fun. And volunteering isn’t necessarily a selfless act — you can learn and develop skills, try new things, and meet lots of new and interesting people.
We gave up our time to help out at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be. 5 . For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required. We had a fantastic experience this Sunday afternoon.
A.It was a cold, dark, rainy day
B.Volunteering is supposed to be fun
C.Also they can help their local community
D.Our role at the event would be to turn the lights on
E.Some past members of the club have benefited a lot
F.Our role at the Festival was to stand behind the stage
G.We not only had an important job but also helped in other ways
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. F 4. B 5. G
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为Rotaract Club的一员,在Hampstead Christmas Festival上进行志愿服务的经历。
1. 根据上文“Through the Rotaract program, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills.(透过Rotaract项目,年轻人可以结识新朋友并学习新技能。)”可知,上文提到Rotaract是一个服务俱乐部,年轻人可以在这里遇到新的人并学习新技能。因此,接下来应该是讲述Rotaract的另一个功能,即帮助当地社区。C项中的“they”指代上文中的“young adults”。C项:Also they can help their local community(他们也可以帮助当地社区)符合语境。故选C。
2. 根据下文“My feet were wet within minutes of getting there!(我到那不到几分钟脚就湿了!)”可知,天气不好,很快就让作者的脚湿了。因此,可以推断出前文描述的是一个寒冷、黑暗、下雨的日子。A项:It was a cold, dark, rainy day(那是一个又冷又黑的雨天)符合语境。故选A。
3. 根据下文“making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show.(确保没有未经授权的人在演出期间登上它。)”可知,空处指出了作者在电影节上的任务。F项:Our role at the Festival was to stand behind the stage(我们在电影节上的角色是站在舞台后面)符合语境。故选F。
4. 下文“It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting,but it can always be fun.(它可能并不总是涉及到会见名人或做一些新的和令人兴奋的事情,但它总是有趣的。)”进一步强调了志愿服务的乐趣。B项:Volunteering is supposed to be fun(志愿服务应该是有趣的)符合语境。故选B。
5. 上文提到“We gave up our time to help out at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be.(我们放弃了时间去帮助节日,尽管天气不好,也不知道我们的角色会是什么)”。但接下来却提到“For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required.(例如,当需要时,我们为舞台准备了更多的椅子。)”,即我们还做了其他的事情,比如为舞台提供更多的椅子。因此,可以推断出我们不仅在重要任务上有所贡献,还在其他方面提供了帮助。G项:We not only had an important job but also helped in other ways(我们不仅有一项重要的工作,而且在其他方面也提供了帮助)符合语境。故选G。
Passage 5
(22-23高二下·全国·单元测试)If you always take on too many projects at once and spend too much of your time doing things you don’t want to do, or if you always get things done, but they are not always the best you can do, you must be a person who’s terrible at saying no. 1
Being a quitter isn’t being someone who doesn’t see important things through to the end. 2 By quitting these things, you’ll free up time to do things that actually create value. You’ll be able to begin to put your time and effort into the things you’d actually like to do.
3 We say, “Well, I’ve already invested (投入) so much time in this, I might as well hold on to the end.” Instead, quit as often as possible, regardless of the time invested. If you’re reading a book and don’t like it, stop reading. 4 Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?
Let’s learn how to say “no” at the beginning or in the middle and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing and the things actually worth doing. 5 But if we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.
A.Everyone’s time is different.
B.Then it’s time for you to be a quitter.
C.The ability to say no is important in our lives.
D.Saying no is hard and admitting a mistake is even harder.
E.The cleverest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more.
F.A quitter is someone who gets out when there’s no value in what he’s doing.
G.We always get involved in something, realize we don’t like it but keep on going.
【答案】1. B 2. F 3. G 4. E 5. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了说“不”是一项重要的能力,解释了说“不”的意义以及带来的好处。
1. 根据上文“If you always take on too many projects at once and spend too much of your time doing things you don’t want to do, or if you always get things done, but they are not always the best you can do, you must be a person who’s terrible at saying no.(如果你总是一次承担太多的项目,花太多的时间做你不想做的事情,或者如果你总是把事情做完,但它们并不总是你能做的最好的,你一定是一个不善于说不的人)”可知,上文指出是一个不善于说不得人,结合下文说明了说不带来的好处,可知本句总起下文,建议当放弃者,故B选项“那么你是时候当一个放弃者了”符合语境,故选B。
2. 根据上文“Being a quitter isn’t being someone who doesn’t see important things through to the end.(做一个放弃者并不是做一个不能把重要的事情做到底的人)”以及后文“By quitting these things, you’ll free up time to do things that actually create value. You’ll be able to begin to put your time and effort into the things you’d actually like to do.(放弃这些事情,你就能腾出时间去做真正能创造价值的事情。你将能够开始把你的时间和精力投入到你真正喜欢做的事情上)”可知,上文提到放弃者,后文提到了这些事情,可知本句是在说明放弃者真正放弃的事情,F选项中quitter对应上文quitter。故F选项“放弃者是当他所做的事情没有价值时就离开的人”符合语境,故选F。
3. 根据后文“We say, “Well, I’ve already invested (投入) so much time in this, I might as well hold on to the end.” Instead, quit as often as possible, regardless of the time invested. If you’re reading a book and don’t like it, stop reading.(我们会说,“好吧,我已经在这上面投入了这么多时间,我还是坚持到最后吧。”相反,不管花了多少时间,尽可能多地放弃。如果你正在读一本不喜欢的书,那就停下来)”可知,后文提到因为投入了时间才选项坚持到最后,说明并不是真正的喜欢,但还在坚持。故G选项“我们总是卷入一些事情,意识到我们不喜欢它,但继续前进”符合语境,故选G。
4. 根据后文“Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?(与其读整本你讨厌的书,不如读一本烂书的一半和一本好书的一半。这不是更好地利用你的时间吗?)”可知,后文提到了读一本烂书不如读一半好书,说明要及时止损才是最好的做法。故E选项“最聪明的做法是在你的损失进一步扩大之前停止”符合语境,故选E。
5. 根据上文“Let’s learn how to say “no” at the beginning or in the middle and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing and the things actually worth doing.(让我们学会如何在开始或中途说“不”,从而腾出更多的时间去做我们想做的事情和真正值得做的事情)”以及后文“But if we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.(但如果我们两者都做到了,我们将开始确保我们花时间创造价值,而不是增加损失。让我们一起停止吧)”可知,后文提到了两者都做到,可知本句是在说明两者是指:说不和承认错误。故D选项“说‘不’很难,承认错误更难”符合语境,故选D。

Start by connecting with your peers and ask them about causes they’re already involved in. 4 There is almost no limit to the impact you can create contributing to a cause that matters to you and your peers. With a little time, you can make a big difference.

Passage 9
(23-24高二下·广东·阶段练习)You’ve sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community. 1 Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area — or farther afield.
Identify your values.
2 Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary (互补的) missions and opportunities. For instance, if your primary motivation is to strengthen social connections with peers, you might look to organizations such as school groups that require interaction with other parents, or neighbors.
If you’re motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them. 3
Try to involve the whole family.
Many parents who volunteer turn giving back into a family affair. Community service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness. 4 Look for volunteer engagements that welcome people of all ages and abilities, and schedule time for the whole family to participate —whether that means spending an afternoon picking up trash on the side of the highway, or a week in a faraway flood zone.
5
Once you find a well-run organization that aligns with (符合) your availability, values, talents, and objectives, work with your contact there to set a volunteer schedule that fits your life. If you’re exploring a frequent engagement — say, a weekly or biweekly commitment —think carefully about how much time you can afford to donate. It’s better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload.
A.What motivates you to give back?
B.Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
C.Are you ready to build a list of ideal places to volunteer?
D.It’s also an opportunity to spend more time with your family.
E.Don’t overthink the process of finding opportunities to volunteer.
F.Whatever your motivations are, there’s an organization out there that needs your help.
G.Now comes the most difficult part: finding volunteer opportunities that are right for you.
【答案】1. G 2. A 3. F 4. D 5. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过志愿服务来回馈社会。
1. 根据上文“You’ve sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community.(你已经评估了志愿服务的好处,查看了你的时间表,并决定你有时间和愿望来回馈你的社区)”以及下文“Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area — or farther afield.(这里有一些建议,可以帮助你在当地或更远的地方找到合适的志愿者机会)”可知,后文给出了寻找志愿者机会的建议,可知本句实在说明找到机会的困难,后文给出解决方案。故G项“现在最困难的部分来了:找到适合你的志愿者机会”符合语境。故选G。
2. 根据本段标题“Identify your values.(确定你的价值观)”以及下文“Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary missions and opportunities.(列出驱动你的价值观,或者你关心的问题,然后寻找具有互补使命和机会的组织)”可知,本句与寻找你的志愿者价值观有关系。故A项“是什么激励你回馈社会”符合语境。故选A。
3. 根据上文“If you’re motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them.(如果你有动力为那些不幸的人服务,你可能会把目标对准那些为没有住房保障的人、残疾人或历史上处于不利地位的群体工作的组织。志愿者的动机和他们的志愿者一样多样)”可知,上文支出志愿者的动机是各种各样的,本句为本段最后一句,故总结上文,说明动机与志愿者工作之间的关系。F选项中motivations对应上文motivated。故F项“无论你的动机是什么,肯定会有适合你的志愿机构”符合语境。故选F。
4. 根据上文“Community service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness.(社区服务是教育孩子无私价值的好方法)”可知,本句承接上文,继续说明社区服务的好处,D选项中It指代上文Community service。故D项“这也是一个与家人共度更多时光的机会”符合语境。故选D。
5. 通读本段尤其是“It’s better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload.(与其承担难以管理的工作量,不如缩短或减少志愿服务时间)”可知,本段的主旨是量力而行参加志愿服务。故B项“量力而行”符合语境。故选B。
Passage 10
(22-23高二下·福建三明·期末)What do you do with old stuff? That top you bought for a party three years ago, for example You wore it once and it’s been hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜) ever since. You could throw it away, but that seems wasteful-after all it’s still perfectly usable. So, what to do? 1
The first charity shops appeared in Britain in the 19th Century. The Salvation Army, a UK charity, was one of the first to run a second-hand clothing shop to provide the poor and needy with affordable clothes. 2 It also raised money for the war effort during World War Two.
These days, charity shops are a common sight with around 11,200 shops across the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association. During business hours any member of the public can donate their unwanted items to a charity shop. 3 These items are checked and if found still serviceable, priced up to be sold at a heavily discounted price.
For many this is a win-win situation. 4 To the consumer, it provides the opportunity to buy, often extremely cheaply, items and clothes. To the donator, it may help to ease consumer guilt “You can make a pretty good case, because what you are doing is going towards a charitable cause and you are saving stuff from landfill,” Clare Press, fashion journalist and sustainable style advocate, tells the Guardian.
5 On more than one occasion a buyer has purchased something very cheaply, only to later discover its true value. It sold at auction (拍卖会) for £4,200. So next time you need to rid yourself of something, spare a thought for the charity shop-after all, charity begins at home!
A.Most charity shops will take anything.
B.Here are some tips that you can follow.
C.It’s recommended to donate new items.
D.In the UK, we might take it to a charity shop.
E.There are sometimes hidden treasures for the buyers, too.
F.To the charity, it means they can pursue their charitable aim.
G.This was followed by charities such as the British Red Cross.

These social connections not only enhance the social fabric of a community but also contribute to increased citizen engagement and a greater sense of collective responsibility .(当个人为了共同的目标走到一起时,他们就会产生归属感和团结感。志愿者与志趣相投的人合作,形成了超越志愿经历的友谊和网络。这些社会联系不仅加强了社区的社会结构,而且有助于增加公民参与和增强集体责任感。)”可知,本段的话题是志愿服务如何加强社会联系。A项“Strengthening social bonds (加强社会联系)”符合语境,故选A。
5. 根据本段的小标题“Enhancing Community Health and Happiness (增进社区健康和幸福)”以及“Through healthcare initiatives, volunteers provide medical support, health education, and resources to underserved populations. (通过医疗保健倡议,志愿者向服务不足的人群提供医疗支持、健康教育和资源。)”可知,此处跟健康有关。C项“By addressing social decisive factors of health (通过解决健康的社会决定性因素)”符合语境,故选C。
Passage 15
(23-24高二下·河南开封·期中)How Can Volunteering Help You Get a Good Job?
Sometimes, by giving just a little, you can get a lot back in return. This couldn’t ring more true for volunteering. Here are just some of the things volunteering can do for your employ ability.

Employers like to see evidence of practical work experience on your CV (简历) — it tells them that you have the soft skills needed to work as part of a team and are able to handle responsibility. So, if the “work experience” section of your CV is: looking a little bare, volunteering is a great way to flesh it out. Even if the role isn’t super relevant to the job you want after university, so long as there are transferable (可迁移的) skills, it will be valuable for your CV.
Introduce you to new people
If you are volunteering in the sector you want to eventually work in, it will be a great way for you to network with people who have already broken into the field. 2 . They’d also make great references to refer future employers to.
Help you develop valuable skills
3 , but getting hands-on experience is key to really being able to transition into employment smoothly. Lectures and seminars can’t really teach you personal skills like leadership, time management, how to best communicate with colleagues or how to act in a professional manner, which are all valuable to employers. 4
Boost your confidence
You’ll experience so many personal benefits from helping the community or lending a hand for a worthwhile project. 5 . All of this-as well as the practical experience itself-will boost your confidence, meaning you can approach job applications and interviews with renewed courage and belief in yourself.
A.Improve your CV
B.Update your interview skills
C.Volunteering is a great way to push you ahead
D.University prepares you for work academically
E.Volunteering can help you develop all of these and plenty more
F.It can help give you a fresh sense of purpose and make you feel valued
G.Use the opportunity to pick their brains, get insider advice and find out job opportunities
【答案】1. A 2. G 3. D 4. E 5. F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了志愿活动对就业有好处的几个方面。
1. 此处缺少小标题。根据下文中的“Employers like to see evidence of practical work experience on your CV(简历) — it tells them that you have the soft skills needed to work as part of a team and are able to handle responsibility. So, if the “work experience” section of your CV is: looking a little bare, volunteering is a great way to flesh it out.(雇主喜欢在你的简历上看到实际工作经验的证据。这告诉他们,你具备作为团队成员工作所需的软技能,能够承担责任。所以,如果你简历中的“工作经验”部分是:看起来有点裸露,志愿服务是充实它的好方法。)”可知,本段主要叙述了志愿者的经历能够帮助你丰富简历,故A项“改善你的简历”适合作本段小标题。故选A。
2. 根据空前“If you are volunteering in the sector you want to eventually work in, it will be a great way for you to network with people who have already broken into the field.(如果你在你想最终工作的行业做志愿者,这将是你与已经进入该领域的人建立联系的好方法。)”及空后“They’d also make great references to refer future employers to.(他们也会为未来的雇主提供很好的参考。)”可知,空处应讲述这些已经进入该领域的人对你能够提供的帮助,G项“利用这个机会向他们讨教,听取内部人士的建议,并了解工作机会”符合题意。故选G。
3. 根据空后“but getting hands-on experience is key to really being able to transition into employment smoothly(但获得实践经验是真正能够顺利过渡到就业岗位的关键)”可知,空后强调了实践经验的重要性,前后之间是转折关系,再结合下句“Lectures and seminars can’t really teach you personal skills like leadership, time management, how to best communicate with colleagues or how to act in a professional manner, which are all valuable to employers.(讲座和研讨会并不能真正教会你个人技能,比如领导力、时间管理、如何最好地与同事沟通或如何以专业的方式行事,这些对雇主来说都很有价值。)”可知,空处讲述的内容应与学校学习有关,D项“大学为你的学业做好了准备”符合题意。故选D。
4. 根据本段小标题“Help you develop valuable skills(帮助你发展有价值的技能)”及空前“Lectures and seminars can’t really teach you personal skills like leadership, time management, how to best communicate with colleagues or how to act in a professional manner, which are all valuable to employers.(讲座和研讨会并不能真正教会你个人技能,比如领导力、时间管理、如何最好地与同事沟通或如何以专业的方式行事,这些对雇主来说都很有价值。)”可知,空处应讲述志愿活动可以帮助获得讲座和研讨会不能做到的东西,E项“志愿活动可以帮助你发展所有这些甚至其他更多的技能”符合题意,all of these指代上文中的“personal skills like leadership, time management, how to best communicate with colleagues or how to act in a professional manner”。故选E。
5. 根据空前“You’ll experience so many personal benefits from helping the community or lending a hand for a worthwhile project.(你会从帮助社区或帮助一个有价值的项目中获得很多个人利益。)”及空后“All of this-as well as the practical experience itself-will boost your confidence, meaning you can approach job applications and interviews with renewed courage and belief in yourself.(所有这些以及实践经验本身都会增强你的信心,这意味着你可以以新的勇气和对自己的信念来处理求职和面试。)”可知,空处应讲述志愿活动给你带来的心理上的好处,F项“它能给你一种全新的使命感,让你觉得自己被重视了”符合题意。故选F。
