When he learned the river banks were covered with rubbish like plastic bottles, plastic bags and cigarette (香烟) ends, he decided to take action right away. In August 2025, Feng joined the “River Protection Youth” volunteer team organized by the government. On burning hot summer days, he and other volunteers, dressed in volunteer clothing, walked along the river with tools. They were divided into groups—some picked up waste, some packed it, and others carried it. They also carefully collected rubbish hidden in grass and between stones. Together, they cleaned over 20 kilometers of the river bank and collected 150 kilograms of rubbish, greatly improving the river’s environmental appearance. Feng and his team didn’t just clean up. They also used their professional knowledge to make easy-to-understand publicity brochures (宣传手册) and gave them away in crowded areas near the river. They told local people about water protection, waste sorting (分类) and so on. Their friendly talks made more people realize the importance of protecting the river. Feng believes young people can make a big difference. “Protecting the environment is everyone’s duty,” he said. “We may be young, but our actions can keep the river clean and beautiful for both people and animals.” His story encourages more young people to join in environmental protection and guard the green home with practical actions. ( ) 26. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Feng Zhou started to work for the government. B. Volunteers cleaned the river in groups. C. The government helped pick up waste. D.

His school asked him to do voluntary work. D. The river water was too dirty to drink. ( ) 28. What did Feng Zhou do with their professional knowledge? A. He made publicity brochures and handed them out. B. He taught local people how to swim in the Anyang River. C. He sold green and low-carbon products near the river. D. He organized a new volunteer team for river protection. ( ) 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Feng finished the river cleaning in cold winter. B. The volunteers cleaned less than 20 kilometers of river bank. C. Feng’s team spread environmental knowledge to local people. D. Feng thinks young people can do little for the environment. ( ) 30. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Sort Rubbish Properly B. Ways of Making Publicity Brochures C. College Students Loving Their Hometowns D. Young Volunteers Protecting the Anyang River C Volunteering is the act of giving one’s time and skills to help others without expecting payment. It plays an important role in building a better society. Why do people volunteer? First, volunteering helps people develop new skills. For example, organizing charity events improves teamwork. Second, it brings people together. By working side by side, volunteers make new friends and learn about different walks of life. Finally, volunteering creates positive changes. A clean-up activity can make a neighborhood more beautiful. There are many ways to volunteer. Community service is common, like planting trees or helping at a food bank. Caring for the elderly is also important, such as spending time with old people in nursing homes. Besides, environmental projects, like beach clean-ups, protect our planet. Everyone can find a role that matches their interests. Begin according to your skills and passions (激情). If you love animals, help at an animal shelter. If you’re good at art, design posters for a charity event. Start small — even a few hours a month can make a big difference. The key is to serve with kindness and patience. Volunteering teaches us responsibility and thankfulness. As the saying goes, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” The more people take part in volunteering, the warmer and friendlier our world will be. Let’s take action today — because every effort counts! ( ) 31. How many reasons for volunteering does the writer mention in paragraph 2? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. ( ) 32. How does the writer organize paragraph 3? A. By telling a personal volunteer story. B. By explaining a saying about volunteering. C. By listing different volunteer activities. D. By giving examples of famous volunteers. ( ) 33. What is the writer’s advice for new volunteers? A. Be kind and smart. B. Focus on animals or art. C. Work many hours every month. D. Start with what you are good at. ( ) 34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Many hands make light work. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. One careless move loses the whole game. ( ) 35. What could be the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of Volunteering B. The Power of Giving C. Different Ways to Volunteer D. Building a Warmer World 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Hello! My name is Amy. Last month, our community started a program called “Senior Tech Buddy” (银发科技伴侣). The program aims to help elderly people use smartphones. I joined it as a volunteer. I wanted to make a difference. Many other students joined too. My “student” was Granny Li, a 70-year-old lady. At the very beginning, I thought the task would be quite easy. However, it was much harder than I expected. For someone who had never used a touch screen, even opening an app was difficult. Granny Li felt so nervous that her hands shook. She even thought about giving up because she didn’t want to trouble me. I told her it was okay to make mistakes. Instead of just telling her what to do, I drew some simple pictures of the phone screen on a piece of paper. This way, she could follow the steps even when I wasn’t there. After three afternoons of practice, she finally made her first video call to her grandson in Beijing. When she saw his face on the screen, she laughed like a child. Now, she calls him every week and tells him about her day. She also learned to send photos. Through this experience, I realized that technology is just a tool. To help the elderly join the digital world, we need to offer them more than just smartphones. Only with enough care can we bridge the “digital gap (差距)” between the young and the old. 36. Why did the community start the program “Senior Tech Buddy”? 37. Did Amy think the volunteer work would be difficult at the very beginning? 38. How did Amy help Granny Li follow the steps more easily? 39. Where does Granny Li’s grandson live? 40. Besides care, what else do you think the elderly need when learning new things? 五、词语运用(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A)用所给单词的适当形式完成句子。 41. Each ______ (visit) to the park should respect nature and wildlife. 42.

The ______ (own) opened his garden and shared fresh tomatoes with neighbours. 45. ORBIS is an international ______ (organize) for helping people with eye problems. B)根据汉语意思，完成下列句子。每空一词。 46. 我们应该向这些孩子分发书籍和保暖衣物。 We should ________ ________ books and warm clothes to these children. 47. 许多学生报名参加志愿活动来帮助社区。 Many students ________ ________ for volunteer activities to help the community. 48. 在空闲时间阅读中国经典故事非常值得。 Reading classic Chinese stories ________ ________ ________ doing in our free time. 49. 我一整天都很忙。 I've been ________ ________ ________ all day. 50. 很多学生志愿去养老院陪老人读书、聊天。 Many students volunteer to read and talk with the old people in a ______ ______. 六、将下面的句子改为同义句。每空一词。(共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 51.
