Let me start by sharing a story of a Richard rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in britain. Years ago, I was given the task of organizing a conference in the south of england. I chose a five star hotel owned by rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she's ever met mr. rochester. SHE said yes. Shortly after mister rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan. He was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for thirty minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, mister rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that he had a little girl and what her name was. Now I don't believe that Richard rochester has that good of memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It's time consuming, but IT shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that's one of the secrets of his success. Good morning, everyone.

One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me. When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book.
It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time.
My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn't thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too.
When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did.
Years later I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children.
Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that.
24. What impressed the author most?
A. His mother read to him during his childhood.
B. Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace.
C. They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series.
D. He imitated the characters in the book.
25. What made the author have contradictory feelings?
A. He slipped out of his bed and tiptoed to mum.
B. He did everything when others were asleep.
C. He was always lost in the crowd.
D. He stole mum’s time to relax but enjoyed it.
26. Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage?
A. It helps kids perform well in elementary school.
B. It helps kids form a sense of security.
C. It helps parents focus on reading without distractions.
D. It helps adults find answers and rules.
27. What is the passage mainly aimed at?
A. Calling for kids to read more classical literature.
B. Promoting the idea of parent-child reading.
C. Advertising for National Children’s book week.
D. Relieving everyday stress.
C
What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.
“As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions.
“With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.
Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.
28. What is an advantage of holistic gardening?
A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems.
C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects.
29. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance.
30. What do we know about native plants from the text?
A. They are beneficial to the environment.
B. They are sensitive to various pesticides.
C. They can help to filter the drinking water.
D. They need more light compared to foreign plants.
31. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey?
A. Birds are responsible for our food supply.
B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats.
C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens.
D. Insects play an important role in the food chain.
D
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures? Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted (解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex kind of feeling? The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.
32. What did the University of Glasgow find?
A. Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B. Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C. It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D. Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
33. Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion?
A. Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B. Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.
C. Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D. Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.
34. What can we learn according to Paragraph 3?
A. Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B. Facial expressions can’t show complex feelings.
C. Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D. The way to express emotions changes with time.
35. Which is the proper title for the passage?
A. What Does Your Face Say? B. How Do We Communicate?
C. What Are the Six Basic Emotions? D. Do We Have the Same Expressions?

What is volunteer travel?
Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity helping others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects. ____36____

As international travel became easier and the Internet made communication between countries much easier, the interest in volunteer travel increased.
____40____ Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up.

It was our first time exploring a foreign country on our own, without a tour guide leading the way. My friend Doris and I had a week-long tour there and believed we could explore this town alone then. After breakfast, we confidently started the trip. After a full day of exciting exploration, the sky turned from clear blue to gray, with dark clouds gathering.
As we walked along the ancient street to our hotel, raindrops began falling. Everyone around us took cover. “Should we take a taxi?” I asked aloud, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “It’s only a ten-minute walk, and let’s go much faster,” Doris shouted back.
As the rain and wind increased, we quickened our pace. The ancient street was soon covered with deep water that quickly made our shoes totally wet. Suddenly, the big thunder sounded! Dusk had turned into total darkness, which was only interrupted by the sudden lightning from the sky. Finally, we realized we had been walking for a much longer time than it should have taken us to reach the hotel. We had taken a wrong turn somewhere. We were lost! What’s worse, both of our cell phones were powered off, so we couldn’t call for help, and the street was empty.
Shocked, we headed back down the street, wishing to find the right direction. It was still raining cats and dogs. Our clothes and bags were completely wet. Later looking out into the darkness through the shrubs (灌木) along the street, we realized we had come to a residential neighborhood. “Let’s just wait for a minute,” Doris said.
As we stood under a tree, some headlights appeared. A car pulled up just about a few meters away by the street. Soon, a woman got out of the car. “I’ll ask her for directions,” I said to Doris. She agreed and whispered, “I hope she can speak English.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Then, I walked towards the woman with hope.

【解析】
【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of Richard Rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in Britain. Years ago, I was given a task of organizing a conference in the south of England. I chose a five-star hotel owned by Rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she’d ever met Mr. Rochester. She said “Yes.” Shortly after Mr. Rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan who was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for 30 minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, Mr. Rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that she had a little girl and what her name was. Now I don’t believe that Richard Rochester has that good memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It’s time-consuming, but it shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that’s one of the secrets of his success.

One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me. When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book.
It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time.
My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn't thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too.
When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did.
Years later, I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children.
Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that.
24. What impressed the author most?
A. His mother read to him during his childhood.
B. Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace.
C. They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series.
D He imitated the characters in the book.
25. What made the author have contradictory feelings?
A. He slipped out of his bed and tiptoed to mum.
B. He did everything when others were asleep.
C. He was always lost in the crowd.
D. He stole mum’s time to relax but enjoyed it.
26. Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage?
A. It helps kids perform well in elementary school.
B. It helps kids form a sense of security.
C. It helps parents focus on reading without distractions.
D. It helps adults find answers and rules.
27. What is the passage mainly aimed at?
A. Calling for kids to read more classical literature.
B. Promoting the idea of parent-child reading.
C. Advertising for National Children’s book week.
D. Relieving everyday stress.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者深情回忆童年母亲深夜为自己读书的美好时光,成为父母后理解母亲的付出。借自身经历强调亲子共读对孩子成长意义重大,还能助成年人缓解压力,倡导亲子共读。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me.(我童年最美好的回忆之一是我母亲给我读书的时候。)”以及后文对母亲给作者读书的各种描述可知,作者童年时母亲给他读书这件事给他留下了最深刻的印象。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time.(这本来可能是她在照顾孩子和丈夫一整天后放松的时间,但相反,当我从床上溜下来,在其他人都睡着后踮着脚尖回到客厅时,她会微笑。作为11个孩子中最小的一个,有时很容易在人群中被忽视,而我珍惜那些时刻;我可以坐在她身边,知道那是只属于我的时间。)”可知,母亲本可以在那时放松,而作者却占用了母亲的放松时间,但他又很享受和母亲在一起的这些时刻,所以作者有这种矛盾的感觉。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills a sense of security they never forget.(除了帮助孩子培养对阅读的热爱之外,这也是一种与孩子亲近的美好方式,并能灌输一种他们永远不会忘记的安全感。)”可知,亲子共读的好处是能帮助孩子形成安全感。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章开篇讲述了作者童年时母亲给他读书的美好回忆,接着阐述了自己成为父母后对亲子共读的理解,以及亲子共读的好处,最后还提到阅读对成年人放松的作用,整体围绕亲子共读展开,目的是推广亲子共读的理念。故选B项。
C
What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.
“As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions.
“With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.
Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.
28. What is an advantage of holistic gardening?
A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems.
C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects.
29. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance.
30. What do we know about native plants from the text?
A. They are beneficial to the environment.
B. They are sensitive to various pesticides.
C. They can help to filter the drinking water.
D. They need more light compared to foreign plants.
31. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey?
A. Birds are responsible for our food supply.
B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats.
C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens.
D. Insects play an important role in the food chain.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了整体园艺法,包括其理念、优势、对本地植物的选择以及对昆虫的包容态度等。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.(虽然这听起来很奇怪,但昆虫是整体园艺的组成部分,整体园艺是一种利用本地植物来改善我们当地生态系统的园艺方法)”可知,整体园艺法利用本地植物来改善我们当地的生态系统,这是它的优势。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中““With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.”(他解释说:“种植本地植物,你就可以减少upkeep工作量,有能适应极端环境的植物,比如干旱或潮湿的土壤。一旦这些植物种植好,你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂。”)”可知,本地植物只要种植好,就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂,可以减少维护工作量。由此推知,划线词upkeep意为“维护,保养”,与D项“Maintenance”意思相近。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.(一旦这些植物种植好,你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂)”和“Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.(从宏观视角看,这些益处最终将惠及整个生态环境。以喜湿植物为例,将其引入雨水花园能过滤地下水、减少径流。当你不在花园里使用杀虫剂时,实际上是在为昆虫创造繁衍生息的空间)”可知,本地植物对环境有益。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.(咀嚼类昆虫既是生态系统中鸟类等其他成员的食物来源,其存活过幼虫期的个体更会蜕变为我们乐见的授粉者。随着授粉昆虫栖息地持续减少,助力其生存变得愈发关键——毕竟全球三分之一的食物供应都依赖它们完成)”可知,最后一段主要介绍了昆虫在食物链中扮演着重要的角色。故选D项。
D
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures? Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted (解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex kind of feeling? The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.
32. What did the University of Glasgow find?
A. Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B. Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C. It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D. Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
33. Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion?
A. Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B. Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.
C. Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D. Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.
34. What can we learn according to Paragraph 3?
A. Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B. Facial expressions can’t show complex feelings.
C. Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D. The way to express emotions changes with time.
35. Which is the proper title for the passage?
A. What Does Your Face Say? B. How Do We Communicate?
C. What Are the Six Basic Emotions? D. Do We Have the Same Expressions?
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是最新的科学研究发现人类只有四种基本的面部表情。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.(然而,格拉斯哥大学的研究表明,人类面部只有四种基本的情感表达。这是因为有些成对的情绪是无法区分的。例如,恐惧和惊讶都睁大了眼睛。愤怒和厌恶的面部表情看起来也是一样的。)”可知,研究发现人类面部只有四种基本情感表达,之所以原来认为是六种是因为有些情绪是相似的,无法区别,由此可知,格拉斯哥大学发现六种面部表情中有一些是相似的。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.(例如,恐惧和惊讶都睁大了眼睛。愤怒和厌恶的面部表情看起来也是一样的。)”可知,惊讶与恐惧,以及愤怒与厌恶的面部表情很相似,结合选项可知,相似的表情不能出现在同一组中,所以这四个基本表情应为愤怒、伤心、恐惧和幸福。故选B项
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.(然而,在观察东西方人们在面部表情识别过程中如何看待面部的不同部位时,科学家们发现,尽管不同文化之间存在一些共同特征,但这六种基本的面部表情并没有得到普遍认可。)”可知,基本面部表情并非是通用的,在不同的文化背景下,对面部表情的理解不同。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures? Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.(你认为你可以用你的脸与人交流多少种不同的情绪?你和来自不同文化背景的人有相同的面部表情吗?阅读这篇文章,了解科学家刚刚发现的关于这个话题的内容。)”可知,本文以提问的方式引出本文的主题为基本的面部表情有几种,第二段中的“New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.(新的研究表明,情绪只有四种基本的面部表情。)”可知,人类的面部表情有四种,并对该研究进行对比分析,由于有些面部表情不易区别,才会理解为人类的基本面部表情有六种,结合倒数第二段中的“The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures.(研究发现,不同文化中表达方式的解释方式是不同的。)”可知,研究也发现,人类的基本面部表情也不是通用的,不同的文化背景,对面部表情的理解也不同,综上信息可知,本文的标题为“你的面部说什么?”也就是,面部表情表达什么意义,可以涵盖文章的内容,概括本文的主题。故选A项。

What is volunteer travel?
Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity helping others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects. ____36____
Charitable interests often go far beyond national boundaries. People in developed countries become interested in the struggles of people in less developed countries. ____37____ Volunteer travel is a way to combine a visit to a new location with meaningful work that has a direct impact on communities in other parts of the world.
____38____ Historically, church groups made up a large part of this market. Once a year a religious organization or church would organize a trip to another country. ____39____ For example, it would be to help build a school in an impoverished(贫困的)area, or dig wells so a village would have clean water, or engage in hundreds of other projects that would impact those less fortunate. As international travel became easier and the Internet made communication between countries much easier, the interest in volunteer travel increased.
____40____ Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up. Instead of traveling with a group that is organized at the volunteers home base, the volunteer may join a group that gathers at the worksite from all over the world. This sort of volunteer travel is sometimes referred to as voluntourism or vacanteerism.
A. The primary purpose of the trip was very specific.
B. This type of travel has been an option for many years.
C. Educational institutions also made volunteer travel an option.
D. Sometimes, donating money is not enough to satisfy the need to help.

G. A new trend is that for-profit tour operators arrange group travel around volunteer opportunities.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了志愿者旅行。志愿者旅行的全部或部分目的是参与安排的服务机会,帮助他人。通常,志愿者活动在外国进行,但有些机会可能涉及国家或地区项目。这些旅行通常由教会组织、人类利益团体或非营利组织安排。依托于互联网的发展,志愿者旅行在当下变得更加方便且高效了。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity helping others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects.(志愿者旅行包括旅行的全部或部分,目的是参与安排的服务机会,帮助他人。通常,志愿者活动在外国进行,但有些机会可能涉及国家或地区项目)”可知,上文介绍了志愿者旅行的目的,以及涉及的区域,由此可推知接下来应介绍志愿者旅行组织部门,F项“这些旅行通常由教会组织、人类利益团体或非营利组织安排”符合文意,故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Charitable interests often go far beyond national boundaries. People in developed countries become interested in the struggles of people in less developed countries.(慈善利益往往远远超出国界。发达国家的人民对欠发达国家人民的困境感兴趣)”可知,发达国家会的人对欠发达国家和地区进行慈善援助,结合下文 “Volunteer travel is a way to combine a visit to a new location with meaningful work that has a direct impact on communities in other parts of the world.(志愿者旅行是一种将对新地点的访问与对世界其他地区的社区有直接影响的有意义的工作相结合的方式。)”可知,慈善活动仅捐赠钱是不够的,还需要深入到具体的地方去进行志愿活动,来帮助他们,由此可知,D项 “有时,捐款不足以满足帮助的需要。”符合文意,承上启下,故选D。
【38题详解】
根据上文提到志愿者旅行会到新的地点去做有直接影响的有意义的工作,结合下文“Historically, church groups made up a large part of this market. Once a year a religious organization or church would organize a trip to another country. (从历史上看,教会团体在这一市场中占有很大一部分。宗教组织或教会每年组织一次到另一个国家的旅行) ”可知,这种选择已经存在多年,B项“多年来,这种旅行一直是一种选择”符合文意,for many years呼应下文的historically。故选B。
【39题详解】
根据下文“For example, it would be to help build a school in an impoverished(贫困的)area, or dig wells so a village would have clean water, or engage in hundreds of other projects that would impact those less fortunate.(例如,它将帮助在贫困地区修建一所学校,或为一个村庄打井以获得干净的水,或参与数百个其他项目,这些项目将影响那些不幸的人) ”可知,此处介绍志愿者旅行具体的目的,A项“这种旅行的主要目的非常明确”符合文意,故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up. Instead of traveling with a group that is organized at the volunteers home base, the volunteer may join a group that gathers at the worksite from all over the world. (在其他国家的志愿服务已经变得像浏览网站和注册一样容易。志愿者可以加入一个来自世界各地的团队,而不是与志愿者基地组织的团队一起旅行。)”可知,通过网络,志愿者旅行变得更加容易,并且更多人参与进来,可以不用长途跋涉到很远的地区去进行志愿服务,由此可知E项“互联网使社区服务总体上更受欢迎”符合文意,故选E项。

第四部分 写作(满分25分)
81. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was our first time exploring a foreign country on our own, without a tour guide leading the way. My friend Doris and I had a week-long tour there and believed we could explore this town alone then. After breakfast, we confidently started the trip. After a full day of exciting exploration, the sky turned from clear blue to gray, with dark clouds gathering.
As we walked along the ancient street to our hotel, raindrops began falling. Everyone around us took cover. “Should we take a taxi?” I asked aloud, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “It’s only a ten-minute walk, and let’s go much faster,” Doris shouted back.
As the rain and wind increased, we quickened our pace. The ancient street was soon covered with deep water that quickly made our shoes totally wet. Suddenly, the big thunder sounded! Dusk had turned into total darkness, which was only interrupted by the sudden lightning from the sky. Finally, we realized we had been walking for a much longer time than it should have taken us to reach the hotel. We had taken a wrong turn somewhere. We were lost! What’s worse, both of our cell phones were powered off, so we couldn’t call for help, and the street was empty.
Shocked, we headed back down the street, wishing to find the right direction. It was still raining cats and dogs. Our clothes and bags were completely wet. Later looking out into the darkness through the shrubs (灌木) along the street, we realized we had come to a residential neighborhood. “Let’s just wait for a minute,” Doris said.
As we stood under a tree, some headlights appeared. A car pulled up just about a few meters away by the street. Soon, a woman got out of the car. “I’ll ask her for directions,” I said to Doris. She agreed and whispered, “I hope she can speak English.”

【答案】
Then I walked towards the woman with hope. When I was close to her, she turned back and was shocked to see me. I apologized and told her our problem. “Can you give us some directions? That is my friend,” I added, pointing to Doris, who was still under the tree. The woman managed a friendly nod and a gentle smile. She seemed to relax as she inspected us and asked where we were trying to go. And then she attempted to give us directions in understandable English
I found her explanation of directions only confused us, however hard she tried. Then the woman said, “Get in my car. I’ll take you back.” “That’s really nice of you, but we don’t want to get your seats wet,” we responded, pointing to our wet clothes and bags. But our rescuer insisted. We were so tired that we finally went inside. To our excitement, soon we reached our hotel. When we offered her fees, she just declined and wished us a good night. Waving goodbye to her, we saw her disappearing in the darkness. Although we were cold, our hearts were warm.
