One day, she and her third-grade class read about the Great American Smokeout in Weekly Reader. The Smokeout is an event to help people give up smoking. The American Cancer Society runs it. “We read that about 1 million people give up smoking each year,” said Ms Evans. Then her students asked her, “What does 1 million look like?” Ms Evans told her class the best way to see 1 million was to collect 1 million things. “I was thinking about collecting 1 million small things like erasers,” said the teacher. But her students had a better idea: to collect 1 million pennies (分) and give them to the American Cancer Society. Soon the class started their big job. Many people in the neighbourhood joined the students. Ms Evans said that the bank in their neighbourhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them. That June, the class went to the office of the American Cancer Society with 1,177,500 pennies, or $11,775. They hoped that the money could help more people keep healthy. 1．What is the Great American Smokeout? A．A school. B．An event. C．A magazine.

It was founded in 1919 by a British teacher and sociologist named Eglantyne Jebb. At that time, many children in Europe were starving after World War Ⅰ. Jebb started the organization to save their lives. Since then, Save the Children has grown into a global movement. It now works in 125 countries with more than 25,000 employees. The organization focuses on children’s rights — making sure that every child has the right to go to school, stay healthy, and be safe from harm. Save the Children does both long-term projects and emergency relief. For example, when a war or a natural disaster happens, its teams arrive quickly to provide food, water, and medical care. In 2024 alone, its programs reached 41.2 million children through health, nutrition, and education services. The organization also speaks up for children’s rights to governments around the world. It believes that children should never be forced to work, fight in wars, or get married too young. Thanks to its hard work, millions of children now have a brighter future. As one of the largest women-founded development organizations, Save the Children continues to change the world for the better. 1．What is the main purpose of Save the Children?

His spirit has been passed down by many people and is now embraced (欣然接受) by people from different cultures. ②Lugazo is a 24-year-old African young man. In 2017, he came to China to study. After arriving at the railway station in Wuhan, he was helpless because he had no idea which way to go, and he couldn’t speak any Chinese. A passenger sitting next to him on the train volunteered to take him to the university. The kind man was the first “Lei Feng” he met. ③The experience encouraged Lugazo a lot. Several months later, he joined the university’s Volunteer Team and was given a red jacket with Lei Feng’s photo on it. The next year, he did voluntary work at the Wuhan Railway Station. “Once, after I helped an old woman, her 5-year-old grandson came up to me and said “Thank you, Lei Feng!” That really touched me,” he said. ④Another of his favourite memories was teaching English to children in a school in Hubei. Many of their parents worked in other cities, so the children lived with their grandparents. The children were quiet and seldom expressed themselves. Lugazo remembers a 10-year-old boy who was always alone in one corner. “I took him to the teachers’ office. We played games and became friends.” At first, the boy hardly took part in games during class, but after a week, he was taking part just like the others. The change made Lugazo happy. ⑤These days, anyone can be described as a “Lei Feng” if they would like to help others. More and more people like Lugazo give warmth to people in need. 1．What problem did Lugazo face when he first arrived in Wuhan? A．He couldn’t find his friend. B．He couldn’t find his way to the station. C．He couldn’t speak Chinese to ask for help. D．He didn’t study hard enough in the university. 2．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The child’s expression of thanks. B．The act of helping an old woman. C．The voluntary work at the station. D．The moment he received the red jacket. 3．How did the 10-year-old boy change with Lugazo’s help? A．He improved his scores. B．He started to do voluntary work. C．He became more active and outgoing. D．He kept in touch with his parents often. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．A story about a Chinese boy. B．A volunteer and his experiences. C．Different ways of helping others. D．The reasons to be a volunteer. 5．What is the structure of this passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③④⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文讲述了非洲青年Lugazo受雷锋精神影响，在中国学习期间成为一名志愿者、传递善意的故事。 1．原文第②段提到“After arriving at the railway station in Wuhan, he was helpless because he had no idea which way to go, and he couldn’t speak any Chinese”，说明Lugazo刚到武汉时的问题是不会说中文，无法求助。 2．原文第③段提到“Once, after I helped an old woman, her 5-year-old grandson came up to me and said ‘Thank you, Lei Feng!’ That really touched me”，句中的“That”指代小男孩向他表达感谢这件事。 3．原文第④段提到“At first, the boy hardly took part in games during class, but after a week, he was taking part just like the others”，说明男孩在Lugazo的帮助下变得更积极、更外向了。 4．全文围绕Lugazo成为一名志愿者，以及他的志愿服务经历展开，因此文章主要讲述了一名志愿者和他的经历。 5．文章结构为：①段总述雷锋精神被不同文化的人接受；②-④段讲述Lugazo在中国的志愿服务经历；⑤段总结“雷锋精神”的现代意义，因此结构为①/②③④/⑤。 Every year, the “Most Beautiful Volunteers” award honors people who have made great contributions to society through volunteer work. This year, a group of retired teachers from a city in Jiangsu won the award. These retired teachers set up a “Love Classroom” for left-behind children in the countryside 10 years ago.

The teachers help the children with their schoolwork, and also teach them painting, music, and calligraphy. They also tell the children stories about the outside world, and help them talk with their parents on video calls. One of the teachers, 72-year-old Wang Xiuying, was a Chinese teacher before she retired. She says, “These children need not only help with study, but also love and care. We want to be their ‘grandparents’ and make them feel warm.” Over the past 10 years, the teachers have helped over 500 left-behind children. Many of the children have gone to high school and college.

It can also do good to a community in surprising ways. Brian, a 15-year-old boy, knows this well. In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3, 000 participants (参与者). When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town FC． The club was new and needed money to travel to Premier League (英超联赛). Brian came up with a plan. “There were bottles always thrown around the road,” he said. “In Wyre, these can be collected for money.” With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised £35,000 and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyre’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” he says. In 2023, Brian won The Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes. The prize goes to kids and teenagers working to help others and protecting Planet Earth. “I’m happy to know that all these clubs and kids around the community are benefiting (受益)”, Brian says, when asked about all he’s finished with his cleanup effort. Brian believes everyone can—and should—be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.” 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指)? A．The environment. B．Brian’s hometown. C．The football club.

C．Careful and friendly. D．Honest and hard-working. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．A Young Hero B．A Clean Community C．A Tour of Premier League D．A Prize for Kids and Teenagers 5．What’s the best structure of the text? （①= Paragraph 1） A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个15岁的男孩通过回收废品来帮助家乡足球俱乐部和当地青年团体筹集资金的故事；这种方式不仅对环境有好处，而且也帮助了别人。 1．词义猜测题。根据第一段“Brian, a 15-year-old boy, knows this well. In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3, 000 participants.”可和，2020年，布赖恩，启动了一项社区回收计划，为家乡怀尔的足球俱乐部提供帮助，现在有3000名参与者；据此可以推断，划线单词“It”指代上文的“a community recycling program”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town FC.”可知，布莱恩弗利特伍德镇足球俱乐部踢球，③“布莱恩在弗利特伍德镇足球俱乐部踢足球。”排第一；根据第二段“Brian came up with a plan.”可知，布莱恩想出了一个计划，①“布莱恩想出了一个筹集资金的计划。”排第二；根据第三段“With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive.”可知，在他父亲的帮助下，布莱恩开始了一场回收瓶子运动，②“布赖恩在他父亲的帮助下开始了一场回收瓶子运动。”排第三；根据第四段“In 2023, Brian won The Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes.”可知，2023年，布莱恩获得了爱丁堡公爵颁发的青年英雄奖，④“布莱恩获得了爱丁堡公爵颁发的青年英雄奖。”排第四；因此事实的正确顺序是③①②④。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to football clubs in his hometown, Wyre.”、第二段“Brian came up with a plan. ‘There were bottles always thrown around the road,’ he said. ‘In Wyre, these can be collected for money.’”以及第三段“Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised £35,000 and helped at least 20 local youth groups.”可知，Brian发起了一个社区回收项目来帮助他家乡的足球俱乐部，这表明他是乐于助人的；同时，他想出了一个计划，通过收集瓶子来筹集资金，这显示了他的创造力；据此可以推断，他既乐于助人又有创造力。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文尤其是根据第四段“In 2023, Brian won The Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes.”可知，本文主要讲述了一个15岁的男孩通过回收废品来赚取收益，这种方式不仅对环境有好处，而且也帮助了别人；选项A“一位年轻的英雄”适合作为本文标题。故选A。 5．篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段，引言，提出回收对环境有益，以Brian为例引出主题；第二段至第四段，讲述关于Brian的环保行动，包括行动的开始和计划、行动的结果和成效以及Brian因行动获得的荣誉和他的感受；第五段，Brian的观点和鼓励，是对全文主题的升华和总结；因此本文的结构为“总——分——总”，选项D结构图符合题意。故选D。 Li Yongzeng is a Chinese railway engineer. In his life, one thing always makes him feel proud. It is helping build the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (坦赞铁路). The railway is a symbol of the China-Africa friendship. His grandson, Li Shangyi is following in his footsteps and doing his part for the China-Africa friendship. To build Tanzania-Zambia Railway, Li Yongzeng and 100 other workers left China for Tanzania in December 1970. Building the Tanzania-Zambia Railway was not an easy thing. It needed to cross mountains, valleys (山谷), rivers and forests in both Tanzania and Zambia. In many areas, there were no people but there were many wild animals. The workers often worked as they moved along the railway line. They could only live and eat outside. The Tanzania-Zambia Railway is 1,860 kilometers long. It has 320 bridges, 22 tunnels (隧道) and 147 stations along the line. It took five years to completo the rallway. China sent over 50,000 workers in total. The railway is now considered a monument to the brotherhood between China and Africa. In 2015, Li Shangyi went to work in Tanzania. During his time there he learned how important China’s help is for T’anznnin and Zambin. In July 2017, Li Shangyi’s company planned to help 10,000 African villages have satellite TVs (卫星电视). And he personally needed to help 500 villages to get satellite TVs in Malawi. Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world. By the end of 2019, there were digiml TVs and other devices in 500 villages in Malawi. Li Yongzeng and Li Shangyi served our country in different times.

I million people are waiting for calls from strangers. Some of them consider themselves introverts (内向的人). Some say they hate talking on the phone. But as volunteers for BE MY EYES, they all have a kind heart. BE MY EYES was created in 2015 by Hans Jergen Wiberg from Denmark. This free app connects blind people with sighted volunteers through video calls for help with everyday tasks. Wiberg used to worry about finding enough volunteers. But today volunteers outnumber blind users by ten to one. It’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Zhang Yanfei joined BE MY EYES in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t respond immediately, another volunteer will take the call. He Yanyan, a stage actress, hesitated to join at first. She feared missing calls during rehearsals (排练). After learning that other volunteers would cover missed calls, she signed up at once. She received her first call the very next day. A young man nervously asked, “Can this app really help?” Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform. She described the objects around him. The caller-relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were spotless, the conversation continued for a few more round until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly. Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t even know why I was thanking him.” he said. Now Cao feels much more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street while working on his computer. “It just felt like chatting with a friend.” he said. 1．What is the main purpose of the BE MY EYES app? A．To provide free video calls for introverts. B．To connect blinds with volunteers for daily tasks. C．To help actors improve their rehearsal skills. D．To train volunteers in communication techniques. 2．Why did Zhang Yanfei wait four years to receive her first call? A．She was not active enough on the app. B．The app gives new volunteers more chances. C．The app calls volunteers together for one call. D．Blind users preferred other volunteers more. 3．What does the word “spotless” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．completely clean B．brightly colored C．fashionable D．a little old 4．What do He Yanyan and Cao Zhenxiang have in common? A．They both missed their first calls. B．They were nervous during the first calls. C．They joined the app to make friends. D．They preferred helping elderly users. 5．What’s the best title of the article? A．The Challenges of Volunteer Work. B．Connecting Hearts Through Online calls. C．Technology Changes the Life of Blind. D．Unusual Experiences with Blind People. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了BE MY EYES应用程序如何通过视频通话连接盲人和志愿者，帮助他们完成日常任务，并分享了一些志愿者的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据“This free app connects blind people with sighted volunteers through video calls for help with everyday tasks.”可知，BE MY EYES 的主要目的是通过视频通话将盲人与志愿者连接起来，帮助他们完成日常任务。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t respond immediately, another volunteer will take the call.”可知，电话会同时打给多个志愿者，如果一个人没有立即接听，另一个志愿者会接听。因此，Zhang Yanfei 等了四年才接到第一个电话是因为电话会同时打给多个志愿者。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“The caller-relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were spotless”可知，打电话的人问自己看起来是否整洁，所以这里spotless应该是描述衣服状态与整洁相关的词，“completely clean”（十分干净）符合语境，故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform.”和“Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call.”可知，He Yanyan和Cao Zhenxiang在第一次接听电话时都感到紧张。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了BE MY EYES应用程序如何通过视频通话将盲人与志愿者连接起来，帮助他们完成日常任务，并分享了志愿者的经历。因此，最能概括文章内容的标题是“通过在线通话连接心灵”。故选B。 Recently, community canteens (社区食堂) have become popular among young people. At first, they mostly served old people. ▲ ? “Young people have busy work and they have less time for cooking and cleaning the kitchen. And the takeaway food is not healthy and needs to be waited for a long time,” a researcher said. So, they are loved by more and more young people. For only 20 yuan, Fang Wenjing could buy her lunch at a community canteen, which included a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. “The dishes have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected. The canteen is also clean.” said Fang. Now the number of young people who’d like to eat in community canteens increases rapidly. This also encourages community canteens to think of creative ways to provide food and make things easier for people. A canteen in Beijing’s Lugu Community has buffet-style (自助模式) dishes. They sell at 2.48 yuan per 100 grams, cheaper than nearby restaurants. A canteen at the Zhanongkou Community in Zhejiang province recently introduced “blind box”. Each costs only 6 yuan, with one meat and one vegetarian dish. To keep what’s inside each box a surprise, stickers (贴纸) are covered on the clear top to hide “main dish”. The “blind boxes” often sell out fast. The rise of community canteens is impossible without the efforts of local governments. The government provides support for these canteens, either by providing free space or reducing water and electricity costs. There are now more than 6,700 community canteens in China. And many cities are responding (回应) to the call to build service canteens in their communities. 1．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．But how do young people feel when eating there B．But what kind of food do they serve to young people C．But where can young people fill their hungry stomachs D．But why do they become popular among young people 2．What does Fang think of the community canteens? A．Strange and cheap. B．Expensive and bad. C．Clean and cheap. D．Useful and creative. 3．What is the writer’s purpose of giving Beijing’s example in Paragraph 4? A．To share the most popular canteen in Beijing. B．To introduce the self-service meals of Beijing. C．To spread a special social club in a community. D．To show community canteens’ development. 4．Which of the following is an opinion according to the text? A．There are over 6,700 community canteens in China now. B．Fang Wenjing spent 20 yuan buying her lunch at a community canteen. C．The “blind boxes” at the Zhanongkou Community canteen often sell out very quickly. D．Community canteens can help both the elderly and young people who have cooking difficulties. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to build community canteens better? B．Why are community canteens becoming popular? C．What are the challenges for community canteens? D．What are the differences between community canteens? 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了社区食堂从主要服务老年人到受年轻人欢迎的现象。 1．词句猜测题。根据后文“‘Young people have busy work and they have less time for cooking and cleaning the kitchen. And the takeaway food is not healthy and needs to be waited for a long time,’ a researcher said.”可知，此处是在解释社区食堂受年轻人欢迎的原因，所以▲处应是询问为什么社区食堂在年轻人中受欢迎。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“For only 20 yuan, Fang Wenjing could buy her lunch at a community canteen, which included a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. ‘The dishes have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected. The canteen is also clean.’ said Fang.”可知，方认为社区食堂干净且便宜。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据“Now the number of young people who’d like to eat in community canteens increases rapidly. This also encourages community canteens to think of creative ways to provide food and make things easier for people. A canteen in Beijing’s Lugu Community has buffet-style dishes.”可知，作者举北京的例子是为了展示社区食堂的发展。故选D。 4．观点态度题。根据文意可知，D选项“社区食堂可以帮助有做饭困难的老年人和年轻人”是带有主观判断的观点。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要围绕社区食堂受年轻人欢迎的原因展开，包括年轻人的需求、社区食堂的优势、创新举措以及政府支持等。所以最佳标题是选项B“为什么社区食堂变得受欢迎”。故选B。 Every week, a group of students from Cherry Creek High School come to help old people with anything technology-related (技术相关的) at an old people’s home. The volunteers are from a group called Generation Technology, and it was set up by students a few years ago. When the holidays come, the group helps the old keep connected (保持联系) with their loved ones. “A lot of people don’t live close to their family, and it’s a big problem that we should pay attention to. So setting up video communication and then bringing people closer during the holidays is meaningful,” said Sunker, the leader of the group. The students also give the old advice on preventing scams (预防诈骗). People often get strange calls that they can’t recognize (识别) and the students can give them some useful advice. It’s something that the old like Sandy Washington are thankful for. “I do have difficulty using modern technology,” Sandy Washington said. “And I think a lot of other old people here do too, you know, at our age.” Whether the students are helping with video communication or teaching the old to use new apps on their phones, they’re both about helping form strong intergenerational (代与代之间的) connections. For Sandy Washington, seeing the students every week is something she looks forward to. “We really welcome these kids,” she said. “I want to hear about their college interests and preferred schools. I feel they’re family, just like my own kids or grandkids. It’s very nice.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The group. B．The phone. C．The app. D．The technology. 2．Why do the students help the old keep connected with their loved ones? A．Because it helps the old to prevent scams. B．Because it’s easy for old people to do it.

D．Because a lot of old people don’t live close to their family. 3．What does Sunker think of helping the old set up video communication during the holidays? A．It’s relaxing. B．It’s difficult. C．It’s meaningful. D．It’s strange. 4．How do the students help the old prevent scams? A．By giving them calls every week. B．By teaching them to use some new apps. C．By giving them some useful advice. D．By asking their family members to help the old. 5．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Modern Technology B．A Meaningful Volunteer Activity C．New Apps on the Phones D．A Group for College Students 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了一群中学生每周去老人院，帮助老人熟悉现代科技，教老人如何打视频电话，如何使用手机上的各种软件。 1．词句猜测题。根据“The volunteers are from a group called Generation Technology, it was set up by students a few years ago.”可知此处的it指代的是前面的Generation Technology组织。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“A lot of people don’t live close to their family, and it’s a big problem that we should pay attention to.”可知这些学生帮助老人和自己的家人保持联系，是因为很多人和家人住得比较远。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“So setting up video communication and then bringing people closer during the holidays is meaningful,”可知，Sunker认为能够在假期期间建立视频通信并拉近人们的距离是有意义的。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“People often get strange calls that they don’t recognize (识别) and the students can give them some useful advice.”可知学生们通过给他们一些有用的建议来预防诈骗。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文，可知文章讲述了一群中学生每周去老人院，帮助老人熟悉现代科技，教老人如何打视频电话，如何使用手机上的各种软件。选项B“一个有意义的志愿者活动”符合文章主旨。故选B。 24 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 23 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 4 Helping out 单元话题（志愿服务）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 Cindy Evans works at Big Beaver Elementary School in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania. One day, she and her third-grade class read about the Great American Smokeout in Weekly Reader. The Smokeout is an event to help people give up smoking. The American Cancer Society runs it. “We read that about 1 million people give up smoking each year,” said Ms Evans. Then her students asked her, “What does 1 million look like?” Ms Evans told her class the best way to see 1 million was to collect 1 million things. “I was thinking about collecting 1 million small things like erasers,” said the teacher. But her students had a better idea: to collect 1 million pennies (分) and give them to the American Cancer Society. Soon the class started their big job. Many people in the neighbourhood joined the students. Ms Evans said that the bank in their neighbourhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them. That June, the class went to the office of the American Cancer Society with 1,177,500 pennies, or $11,775.

It was founded in 1919 by a British teacher and sociologist named Eglantyne Jebb. At that time, many children in Europe were starving after World War Ⅰ. Jebb started the organization to save their lives. Since then, Save the Children has grown into a global movement. It now works in 125 countries with more than 25,000 employees. The organization focuses on children’s rights — making sure that every child has the right to go to school, stay healthy, and be safe from harm. Save the Children does both long-term projects and emergency relief. For example, when a war or a natural disaster happens, its teams arrive quickly to provide food, water, and medical care. In 2024 alone, its programs reached 41.2 million children through health, nutrition, and education services. The organization also speaks up for children’s rights to governments around the world. It believes that children should never be forced to work, fight in wars, or get married too young. Thanks to its hard work, millions of children now have a brighter future. As one of the largest women-founded development organizations, Save the Children continues to change the world for the better. 1．What is the main purpose of Save the Children?

Every year at Sunshine Middle School, we do something to raise (筹集) money for these children. This year we will have a Market Day. The Market Day will fall on July 8. We are going to make the student center at our school look just like a big shopping center! People can come at any time from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and buy everything from clothes to books, cakes and flowers. Luckily for us, many volunteers (志愿者) will help prepare for the big event.

His spirit has been passed down by many people and is now embraced (欣然接受) by people from different cultures. ②Lugazo is a 24-year-old African young man. In 2017, he came to China to study. After arriving at the railway station in Wuhan, he was helpless because he had no idea which way to go, and he couldn’t speak any Chinese. A passenger sitting next to him on the train volunteered to take him to the university. The kind man was the first “Lei Feng” he met. ③The experience encouraged Lugazo a lot. Several months later, he joined the university’s Volunteer Team and was given a red jacket with Lei Feng’s photo on it. The next year, he did voluntary work at the Wuhan Railway Station. “Once, after I helped an old woman, her 5-year-old grandson came up to me and said “Thank you, Lei Feng!” That really touched me,” he said. ④Another of his favourite memories was teaching English to children in a school in Hubei. Many of their parents worked in other cities, so the children lived with their grandparents. The children were quiet and seldom expressed themselves. Lugazo remembers a 10-year-old boy who was always alone in one corner. “I took him to the teachers’ office. We played games and became friends.” At first, the boy hardly took part in games during class, but after a week, he was taking part just like the others. The change made Lugazo happy. ⑤These days, anyone can be described as a “Lei Feng” if they would like to help others. More and more people like Lugazo give warmth to people in need. 1．What problem did Lugazo face when he first arrived in Wuhan? A．He couldn’t find his friend.

A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③④⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ Every year, the “Most Beautiful Volunteers” award honors people who have made great contributions to society through volunteer work. This year, a group of retired teachers from a city in Jiangsu won the award. These retired teachers set up a “Love Classroom” for left-behind children in the countryside 10 years ago. Most of the teachers are over 70 years old, but they still take a 2-hour bus ride to the village every weekend. The “Love Classroom” opens every Saturday and Sunday. The teachers help the children with their schoolwork, and also teach them painting, music, and calligraphy. They also tell the children stories about the outside world, and help them talk with their parents on video calls. One of the teachers, 72-year-old Wang Xiuying, was a Chinese teacher before she retired. She says, “These children need not only help with study, but also love and care. We want to be their ‘grandparents’ and make them feel warm.” Over the past 10 years, the teachers have helped over 500 left-behind children. Many of the children have gone to high school and college.

It can also do good to a community in surprising ways. Brian, a 15-year-old boy, knows this well. In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3, 000 participants (参与者). When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town FC． The club was new and needed money to travel to Premier League (英超联赛). Brian came up with a plan. “There were bottles always thrown around the road,” he said. “In Wyre, these can be collected for money.” With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised £35,000 and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyre’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” he says. In 2023, Brian won The Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes. The prize goes to kids and teenagers working to help others and protecting Planet Earth. “I’m happy to know that all these clubs and kids around the community are benefiting (受益)”, Brian says, when asked about all he’s finished with his cleanup effort.

In his life, one thing always makes him feel proud. It is helping build the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (坦赞铁路). The railway is a symbol of the China-Africa friendship. His grandson, Li Shangyi is following in his footsteps and doing his part for the China-Africa friendship. To build Tanzania-Zambia Railway, Li Yongzeng and 100 other workers left China for Tanzania in December 1970. Building the Tanzania-Zambia Railway was not an easy thing. It needed to cross mountains, valleys (山谷), rivers and forests in both Tanzania and Zambia. In many areas, there were no people but there were many wild animals. The workers often worked as they moved along the railway line. They could only live and eat outside. The Tanzania-Zambia Railway is 1,860 kilometers long. It has 320 bridges, 22 tunnels (隧道) and 147 stations along the line. It took five years to completo the rallway. China sent over 50,000 workers in total. The railway is now considered a monument to the brotherhood between China and Africa. In 2015, Li Shangyi went to work in Tanzania. During his time there he learned how important China’s help is for T’anznnin and Zambin. In July 2017, Li Shangyi’s company planned to help 10,000 African villages have satellite TVs (卫星电视). And he personally needed to help 500 villages to get satellite TVs in Malawi. Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world. By the end of 2019, there were digiml TVs and other devices in 500 villages in Malawi. Li Yongzeng and Li Shangyi served our country in different times.

I million people are waiting for calls from strangers. Some of them consider themselves introverts (内向的人). Some say they hate talking on the phone. But as volunteers for BE MY EYES, they all have a kind heart. BE MY EYES was created in 2015 by Hans Jergen Wiberg from Denmark. This free app connects blind people with sighted volunteers through video calls for help with everyday tasks. Wiberg used to worry about finding enough volunteers. But today volunteers outnumber blind users by ten to one. It’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Zhang Yanfei joined BE MY EYES in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t respond immediately, another volunteer will take the call. He Yanyan, a stage actress, hesitated to join at first. She feared missing calls during rehearsals (排练). After learning that other volunteers would cover missed calls, she signed up at once. She received her first call the very next day. A young man nervously asked, “Can this app really help?” Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform. She described the objects around him. The caller-relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were spotless, the conversation continued for a few more round until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly. Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t even know why I was thanking him.” he said. Now Cao feels much more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street while working on his computer. “It just felt like chatting with a friend.” he said. 1．What is the main purpose of the BE MY EYES app? A．To provide free video calls for introverts. B．To connect blinds with volunteers for daily tasks. C．To help actors improve their rehearsal skills. D．To train volunteers in communication techniques. 2．Why did Zhang Yanfei wait four years to receive her first call? A．She was not active enough on the app. B．The app gives new volunteers more chances. C．The app calls volunteers together for one call. D．Blind users preferred other volunteers more. 3．What does the word “spotless” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．completely clean B．brightly colored C．fashionable D．a little old 4．What do He Yanyan and Cao Zhenxiang have in common? A．They both missed their first calls. B．They were nervous during the first calls. C．They joined the app to make friends. D．They preferred helping elderly users. 5．What’s the best title of the article? A．The Challenges of Volunteer Work. B．Connecting Hearts Through Online calls. C．Technology Changes the Life of Blind. D．Unusual Experiences with Blind People. Recently, community canteens (社区食堂) have become popular among young people. At first, they mostly served old people. ▲ ? “Young people have busy work and they have less time for cooking and cleaning the kitchen. And the takeaway food is not healthy and needs to be waited for a long time,” a researcher said. So, they are loved by more and more young people. For only 20 yuan, Fang Wenjing could buy her lunch at a community canteen, which included a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. “The dishes have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected. The canteen is also clean.” said Fang. Now the number of young people who’d like to eat in community canteens increases rapidly. This also encourages community canteens to think of creative ways to provide food and make things easier for people. A canteen in Beijing’s Lugu Community has buffet-style (自助模式) dishes. They sell at 2.48 yuan per 100 grams, cheaper than nearby restaurants. A canteen at the Zhanongkou Community in Zhejiang province recently introduced “blind box”. Each costs only 6 yuan, with one meat and one vegetarian dish. To keep what’s inside each box a surprise, stickers (贴纸) are covered on the clear top to hide “main dish”. The “blind boxes” often sell out fast. The rise of community canteens is impossible without the efforts of local governments. The government provides support for these canteens, either by providing free space or reducing water and electricity costs. There are now more than 6,700 community canteens in China. And many cities are responding (回应) to the call to build service canteens in their communities. 1．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．But how do young people feel when eating there B．But what kind of food do they serve to young people C．But where can young people fill their hungry stomachs D．But why do they become popular among young people 2．What does Fang think of the community canteens? A．Strange and cheap. B．Expensive and bad. C．Clean and cheap. D．Useful and creative. 3．What is the writer’s purpose of giving Beijing’s example in Paragraph 4? A．To share the most popular canteen in Beijing. B．To introduce the self-service meals of Beijing. C．To spread a special social club in a community. D．To show community canteens’ development. 4．Which of the following is an opinion according to the text? A．There are over 6,700 community canteens in China now. B．Fang Wenjing spent 20 yuan buying her lunch at a community canteen. C．The “blind boxes” at the Zhanongkou Community canteen often sell out very quickly. D．Community canteens can help both the elderly and young people who have cooking difficulties. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to build community canteens better? B．Why are community canteens becoming popular? C．What are the challenges for community canteens? D．What are the differences between community canteens? Every week, a group of students from Cherry Creek High School come to help old people with anything technology-related (技术相关的) at an old people’s home. The volunteers are from a group called Generation Technology, and it was set up by students a few years ago. When the holidays come, the group helps the old keep connected (保持联系) with their loved ones. “A lot of people don’t live close to their family, and it’s a big problem that we should pay attention to. So setting up video communication and then bringing people closer during the holidays is meaningful,” said Sunker, the leader of the group. The students also give the old advice on preventing scams (预防诈骗). People often get strange calls that they can’t recognize (识别) and the students can give them some useful advice. It’s something that the old like Sandy Washington are thankful for. “I do have difficulty using modern technology,” Sandy Washington said. “And I think a lot of other old people here do too, you know, at our age.” Whether the students are helping with video communication or teaching the old to use new apps on their phones, they’re both about helping form strong intergenerational (代与代之间的) connections. For Sandy Washington, seeing the students every week is something she looks forward to. “We really welcome these kids,” she said. “I want to hear about their college interests and preferred schools. I feel they’re family, just like my own kids or grandkids. It’s very nice.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The group. B．The phone.
