Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2024·武汉高二期末)Few people realize that it takes the army of volunteers for one young child to have a halfhour riding lesson.I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association (VTEA) in Aldergrove,B.C.,close to the Washington State border.It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers—about eighty—to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week.There is a large barn to clean,and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill.Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily ...The list is endless.
To prepare a horse for a ride,someone has to bring it in from outside,at times sinking into inches of black mud,which was too clinging to pull the feet and legs out,during the winter months.Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place.There,one volunteer leads the horse,and usually two walk alongside for safety,one on each side.Then the horse must be returned to the barn,unsaddled,cleaned and fed.
Yet so many people willingly give their time—because the children need us.Ranging in age from two upwards,the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities.Some have severe physical handicaps(残疾).Riding strengthens their muscles and bones,enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life.
Throughout my past life as a business author and speaker,I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations.However,a terrible motorvehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head—causing severe brain injury.It was hard to accept a new “me” and her oftenfrustrating limitations,until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for.I'd loved horses from childhood,and working with them and the children has helped turn my life around,making me warm from the inside out.The journey back has been painful but worthwhile.Now,fourteen years later,I am a different,more simplified person.
1.What does the underlined word “clinging” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Deep. B.Soft.
C.Sticky. D.Dirty.
2.What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA?
A.Risky and thrilling.
B.Tiring but worthwhile.
C.Funny and enjoyable.
D.Demanding but fruitless.
3.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A.The accident transformed her beyond recognition.
B.Volunteering has brought her a winwin result.
C.She's never recovered from the injury.
D.She wasn't interested in voluntary work before.
4.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Helping Kids in Need
B.Surviving a Disaster
C.Volunteering:A Journey Back
D.Horseriding:Toughest Lessons
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者意外受伤后通过做志愿者工作重新成为一个内心温暖的人,并重新接纳自己的故事。
1.C [解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的inches of black mud和to pull the feet and legs out可知,要把脚和腿从几英寸的黑泥里拉出来很难,因为泥巴肯定很有黏性,由此可知,画线单词意为“黏的”。
2.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,志愿服务工作很繁琐,有很多工作要做;根据第三段第一句可知,还是有很多人愿意付出时间来做这些工作,因此推断出,作者认为志愿服务是很值得的。
3.B [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第三句可知,志愿者工作不仅能帮助孩子们,也帮助作者重新成为一个内心温暖的人,由此可推断出,对作者来说,做志愿者工作是件双赢的事情。
4.C [解析]标题概括题。本文讲述了作者自身的故事:作者曾做志愿服务工作,因为车祸意外受伤后,一时很难接受受伤的自己,再度投身志愿者工作帮助作者重新成为一个内心温暖的人,旨在表达志愿者工作能使人找回自己。C项“志愿服务:回归之旅”最适合作文章标题。
