Step 1|品教材课文
Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing.
[1]Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world,helping other countries to develop.We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka.And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics, and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world.And some people may ask,“Is it worth it? Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development?”
[1]这是一个简单句。动词-ing短语helping other countries to develop作伴随状语。
I had the same questions myself.But for me, it was much more personal.You see,my mother is a medical doctor,and for the last two years,she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government.
To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset.My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me.But more importantly, she was my best friend.We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart.So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input.
[2]But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune.Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania.And, while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted, such as electricity, running water,cars and good transport systems,and supermarkets.One project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital.Prior to this, if a Tanzanian had a heart condition and needed surgery, they would have to go abroad.Since this was quite expensive, many people went without medical treatment and some even died.Now, not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital,but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well.It has made a big difference to their lives.My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities,and provide consultation and training for local doctors.In addition, her team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China, and this has saved many lives.
[2]这是一个由and连接的并列句。在第一个分句中,she was doing in Tanzania是省略了关系代词which/that的定语从句,修饰先行词the work;that has many health problems也是定语从句,修饰先行词country。
Today, I want to relay to you that I’m proud of the work my mother has done, and I am now supportive of it.Is her work worth it? Yes, to the lives of the people she is helping, it is worth it.But by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well, because it shows that we are global citizens interested in world stability,and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for mankind.Everyone deserves a fair chance in life.When I think of all the things that we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of,helping others comes at the top of this list.Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is, I’ve decided to become a volunteer myself to help people in other lands.In the future, I pray that you will do the same.
Thank you!
Step 2|析写作手法
学语言
文章第二段使用了动词-ing短语作伴随状语(helping other countries to develop)和定语从句(that are still in need of development)。
第三段使用了过去分词短语作后置定语(sent by the Chinese government)。
第五段使用了while引导的让步状语从句(while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth),动词-ing短语作表语(helping to build a cardiac hospital)和部分倒装句(not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital)。
第六段使用了省略that的定语从句(my mother has done)和Now that引导的原因状语从句(Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is),这些高级句式和语法的运用使得文章精彩纷呈。
学结构
该文本是一篇典型的演讲稿,主题是宣讲我国对其他国家的援助。
演讲者首先以大家熟悉的援助事例开篇,并用一个设问抛出演讲者对援助工作的价值的思考。
然后,从个人的角度展现自己从一开始的不理解到后来的完全认同并引以为傲的心路历程,穿插叙述了自己的母亲在非洲当地所做的贡献,真实地反映了中国进行国际援助的作用和意义。
最后,从共建人类命运共同体的高度坚定了自己将来投身国际援助事业的决心,并提出倡议,号召更多人加入国际志愿者的行列。
参考译文
大家好!我的名字叫詹冰冰。
最近,大家都在电视上看到中国人在世界各个遥远的地方帮助其他国家发展。我们看到中国工人在刚果修建公路,在巴基斯坦修建港口,在巴拿马修建铁路,在斯里兰卡修建机场。我们看到中国的矿工、石油工人、农业专家、机械师和医生几乎在世界的每个角落忙碌着。有些人可能会问:“这值得吗?在中国许多地区仍然需要发展的时候,为什么要帮助外国人民呢?”
我自己也有同样的疑问。然而,对我来说,它更多与我个人有关。你看,我妈妈是一名医生,在过去的两年里,她作为中国政府派遣的医疗队的一员,一直在非洲坦桑尼亚当一位志愿顾问。
说实话,当我妈妈第一次去非洲的时候,我很难过。我妈妈每天晚上都给我做饭,无微不至地照顾我。但更重要的是,她是我最好的朋友。我们一起聊天,一起度过闲暇时光,除了上学和上班,我们从未分开过。所以对她甚至没征求我的意见就(决定)离开,我感到很不开心。
但是之后我开始听到她在坦桑尼亚的工作。那里有很多健康问题,所以现在我有了不同的看法。很多在中国罕见的危险疾病在坦桑尼亚是很容易感染上的。此外,尽管这个国家风景美丽、物产丰饶,但许多人仍然十分贫穷;我们认为理所当然的东西,在他们的生活中都没有,比如电、自来水、汽车和便捷的交通系统,以及超市。我妈妈参与的一个项目是帮助他们建造一所心脏专科医院。在这之前,如果一个坦桑尼亚人患有心脏疾病需要手术的话,就不得不出国。由于出国费用高昂,许多人得不到治疗,甚至有人死亡。现在,有了医院,不仅坦桑尼亚人得到了帮助,而且周边国家的人们也因此受益。这极大地改变了他们的生活。我妈妈还到偏远的农村巡诊,提供医疗服务,帮助残疾人,并为当地医生提供咨询和培训。此外,她的团队还为患者提供了中国研发的新型疟疾疗法,从而挽救了许多生命。
今天我想告诉你们的是,我为我妈妈所做的工作感到骄傲,我现在也非常支持她的工作。她的工作值得吗?是的,对得到她帮助的人的生命来说,这是值得的。然而,无论以何种标准衡量,这项工作对我们来说也是值得的,因为它表明我们是关心世界稳定的全球公民,我们对他人负有责任,并准备好要建设人类命运共同体。每个人在生命中都应享有公平的机会。当我在思考作为中国公民最能引以为傲的所有事情时,帮助他人位居榜首。既然我明白了我妈妈的工作有多么重要,我已经决定自己也成为一名志愿者,去帮助其他国家的人。我企盼,未来你们也会这样做。
谢谢!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·泰安高二下检测)Hilda Jackson, a spirited senior from Derbyshire, exchanged her walking frame for glowsticks (荧光棒) and face paint to celebrate her 105th birthday with an unusual rave (锐舞) party at Holbrook Care Home. The event, attended by 70 guests, featured a live performance by Nottingham rapper Bru-C, disco beats spun by a DJ, and an open bar sponsored by Jagermeister — though most elderly participants chose soft drinks.
Born in 1919, Hilda has lived through two world wars, 22 British Prime Ministers, and the invention of television. During WWⅡ, she contributed to the war effort by working at a factory. A lifelong adventurer, she drove until age 100 and traveled a lot with her late sister Vera on dance-themed journey across Europe.
When asked about her long life, Hilda credited her longevity to her youthful passion for tennis and her philosophy of “taking each day as it comes”. She smiled, recalling her mother’s warnings:“You’ll wear yourself out playing tennis every night!” Her eyes shone as she recalled meeting her husband Walter in her 20s, calling him her “one true love”. After his death in the 1950s, Hilda never remarried, instead sharing 63 years with Vera until her sister’s passing.
The rave idea puzzled even the staff at Holbrook Care Home. Manager Rebecca admitted, “Last year, she requested laser lights and glowsticks — maybe she saw raves on TV?” The party’s decorations and energetic music contrasted with the care home’s usual calm, but Hilda danced energetically, shouting cheerfully, “Life’s meant for celebrating!”
Guests received glow-in-the-dark bracelets (手镯), while Bru-C performed a custom rap praising Hilda’s passion for life. Though wheelchair-bound seniors tapped their feet, Hilda stood center-stage, her skirt flashing under lights. “I’ve always loved music — waltzes (华尔兹), foxtrots, even disco!” she said.
Hilda’s birthday cards included one from King Charles, but her true joy came from dancing. “Who says raves are for the young?” she laughed, proving age is just a number.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。来自德比郡的105岁老人希尔达·杰克逊在霍尔布鲁克养老院举办了一场不寻常的锐舞派对来庆祝自己的生日,文章介绍了她的人生经历、长寿秘诀以及派对的相关情况。
1.What was special about Hilda’s 105th birthday party?( )

Once the pursuit of students eager for a break before starting university, gap years are now increasingly attracting older generations.Many highly skilled people in their 40s and 50s are being tempted by the chance to take a break from their highly pressured jobs and try something new.And often, this involves offering charities their services as volunteers.
Paul Moulton had spent 28 years working in the IT industry.The 51-year-old had grown tired of the corporate daily grind and was keen to try something new.So last autumn he took a sabbatical (休假) and flew to Costa Rica to lead a team of young people as a volunteer manager for a project aimed at protecting the country’s La Cangreja National Park.Moulton explains,“I returned from my sabbatical in January, went back to my job, and decided that office work isn’t really what I want to do anymore.”Moulton has since resigned and finally realised his dream of becoming a volunteer.
Sallie Grayson, the founder of People and Places, an organisation that matches volunteers with projects abroad, agrees that older volunteers can bring huge value to a charity’s operations.Grayson claims they are generally more patient and better prepared for voluntary work, not only professionally but also culturally.They also know how to work to deadlines, they are self-motivated, and they are “less likely to have broken hearts or be homesick”.
Grayson warns, however, that charities do have to invest a lot of time in thinking about how they will use them meaningfully.The temptation for charities is to take anyone who is willing to volunteer, but it needs to be the right opportunity for both the individual and the organisation. The first thing that a charity should do is a needs analysis.In other words, what do you need from older volunteers? That will ensure you are hiring the right team for the jobs at hand and it will also be worthwhile for the volunteer.

5.What type of people are mostly likely to be drawn to gap years now according to the text?( )
A.Charity workers.
B.Retired individuals.
C.Newly hired employees.
D.Stressed skilled professionals.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知,以前,间隔年是指学生在上大学之前休息的一年假期,如今,间隔年的概念越来越吸引年龄更大的人群。许多拥有高技能的四五十岁的职场人士想暂时放下高压工作,去尝试一些新鲜事物。由此可知,更容易被“间隔年”吸引的人群是工作压力大的专业人士。
6.How did Moulton’s Costa Rica experience influence him?( )
A.It inspired him to start his own business.
B.It encouraged him to take early retirement.
C.It motivated him to make a career change.
D.It deepened his appreciation for his office work.
解析:C 细节理解题。Moulton去哥斯达黎加的经历让他改变了职业方向,从原来的IT工作转向做志愿者。
7.What does Grayson mainly explain in paragraph 3?( )
A.The qualities of good leaders.
B.The advantages of older volunteers.
C.The work-life balance for volunteers.
D.The volunteer-organisation relationship.
解析:B 段落大意题。通读第三段内容可知,Grayson认为,年长志愿者能为慈善机构的运营工作带来巨大的价值。年长志愿者通常更有耐心,不管是在专业技能方面,还是从文化角度看,他们对志愿工作的准备都更充分。他们懂得如何按时完成工作,能激励自己,也不太可能有伤心或想家的情绪。由此可推知,Grayson主要介绍了年长志愿者的优势。
8.How should charities approach older volunteers according to Grayson?( )
A.By focusing on their mental health.
B.By assigning them leadership roles.
C.By helping them find a new career path.
D.By matching them with suitable projects.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的The temptation for charities ...for the volunteer.可知,Grayson提到,慈善机构面临的诱惑就是接收任何愿意做志愿者的人,但是,志愿者个人和慈善机构都需要一个合适的机会。慈善机构应该做的第一件事是需求分析,即分析慈善机构需要从年长志愿者那里得到什么。这样一来,就能确保慈善机构找到合适的志愿者团队,这对于志愿者来说也很有意义。由此可知,慈善机构应该为年长志愿者寻找适合他们的项目。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Olympians have trained their entire lives to reach their goal of standing on the winner’s podium.Not only do Olympic athletes tone (使强健) their bodies into near perfection; they temper their will as well.9.( ), you need to keep the following in mind:
View stress as positive
Many Olympians view stress as a challenge instead of something they should fear.“We call it a stress mindset, or your worldview of stress.Top athletes have learned to view pressure as a challenge, either by trial and error or by working on mental training” said sports psychologist Dan Gould.10.( ).
Learn to bounce (反弹) back
Many of the most mentally tough athletes have a history of overcoming adversity in their past.11.( ). “It’s really hard to build resilience unless you’ve been challenged,” Gould said.“Anyone can get overwhelmed.Resilience is the piece of us that allows us to get up every time we’re knocked down.”
12.( )
There is no room for self-denial in the minds of Olympic athletes, according to Gould.“They have to believe they’re capable of performing well or they have already given the competition the advantage,” he said.“They have to go into the event with complete confidence.”
Regulate your emotions
Emotional regulation is as important as physical or mental preparation.“All of us have a set of emotions we feel are important for us to perform our best: I’m confident, but not overconfident.13.( ).Maybe I’m a little fearful, but it’s not overwhelming,” Gould said.
A.Get rid of self-doubt
B.Be the best version of yourself
C.I’m anxious, but it’s a good anxiety
D.He has studied Olympians for decades
E.It can be a hardship, illness or even a loved one dying
F.When you are facing one of the most important events in your life
G.If you want to think like an Olympian and develop a winner’s brain
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。奥运选手不但身体强健,而且意志坚定。如果我们要想成功,就必须学习他们的思维模式和优秀品质。
9.G 由于下文列举了一些奥运选手所具备的思维方式和优秀品质,因此G项符合语境。
10.D 上文首次提到运动心理学家Dan Gould,D项是对他的补充介绍,符合语境。
11.E 上句指出:许多精神上最坚强的运动员在过去都有战胜逆境的历史。E项符合语境。E项中的a hardship, illness or even a loved one dying正好是对上文提到“逆境”的举例说明。
12.A 本段主要介绍了奥运选手所具备的另一个优秀品质——一直保持自信,不去自我否定。A项正好可以概括本段主旨。
13.C 上文出现了I’m confident, but not overconfident,下文出现了I’m a little fearful, but it’s not overwhelming,C项正好是同类句式,跟它们形成并列,且同属情感调节领域内容。
