Last month, our school organized a volunteer activity at the city library. I loved reading, so I signed 1 thinking twice. I thought it would be the easiest and most 2 job—just being around books all day.
However, my task was not to read, but to help sort and return books to the shelves. Mrs. Li, the librarian, told us, “This job needs 3 and responsibility (责任心). A misplaced book is almost a 4 one.” At first, I found it boring and tiring. I had to run between different sections, and my feet ached. I wasn’t tall 5 to reach the top shelves, so I had to use a ladder again and again. I started to think I had made a 6 .
One afternoon, I 7 an old man walking slowly between the bookshelves. He looked confused. I remembered Mrs. Li’s words about being helpful, so I went over and asked 8 , “Can I help you find something?”
He looked up, a bit surprised, and said, “I’m looking for a book on Chinese history for my grandson. But I’m not good at 9 these computers.” I helped him use the search system and found the book. His smile of thanks was so genuine (真诚的)that I felt a sudden warmth in my heart.
From that day on, I started to pay more 10 to the people around me. I helped a little girl find her favorite storybook and showed a student 11 to borrow books. Every “thank you” made me feel useful. The library wasn’t 12 a place of silent books any more; it was a place where small acts of kindness could make a big difference.
The activity ended last week. Now, I understand that volunteering is not about having a comfortable job. 13 , it’s about using your time to help others and make things better. It’s about the feeling you get when you see the smile you helped to create. It was a valuable lesson that I won’t 14 easily. Sometimes, the most important discoveries aren’t in the books on the shelves, 15 in the actions we take to help each other.

When 14-year-old Li Jiawei first joined her school’s “Old Book Sharing” club, she thought it was just a way to clear out (清理) used textbooks. But three months later, she found the club was more than that—it was a bridge between her and kids in mountain villages.
The club’s rule is simple: students bring old storybooks, picture books, or textbooks they don’t need anymore. Every Wednesday afternoon, volunteers (志愿者) get together to sort the books by subject—putting storybooks in one box and textbooks in another. Some also stick handwritten notes of encouragement in the books; Jiawei once wrote “This book took me to magical worlds—hope it does the same for you!” in a fairy tale book. She thought her note might be like a stone dropped into the sea. However, to her surprise, she got a letter back from a 9-year-old girl in Songyang, a mountainous area in Zhejiang, saying she reread the story three times and she would cherish this special “gift” forever. “That letter made me cry,” Jiawei smiled. The girl in Songyang touched Li with her words. “I never knew that small things like old books or a few words could be so powerful,” Jiawei told the reporter. After that, the two girls began to become good friends and shared everything in letters.
So far, the club has collected over 2,000 books and sent them to 12 small primary schools. “Our volunteers will make sure each book is clean and pack it carefully. Sharing books isn’t just about giving away old things,” said Ms. Zhang, the club’s advisor. “It’s about passing on kindness and letting both sides feel the pleasure of communication.”

【导语】本文主要讲述了王平童年时梦想成为一名志愿者,希望帮助战争和地震后受灾的人们;多年后他的梦想成真,在一次大地震后前往一个小村庄执行任务——尽管工作既辛苦又危险,但他和队友相互支持、从未放弃,最终帮助村里的孩子安全重返校园。村民们对志愿者的帮助深表感激,王平也写下了关于希望与勇气的故事。
1.句意:王平小时候,梦想有一天能成为一名志愿者。根据“volunteer”可知,其为辅音音素开头,其前应用不定冠词a修饰,表示泛指。故填a。
2.句意:他经常在电视上看到关于战争和地震后死亡事件的悲伤新闻。根据“about”可知,介词后接名词作宾语,die的名词形式为death,此处表示多个死亡事件,应用名词复数形式。故填deaths。

My family has had yard sales (庭院拍卖) in our front yard since I was 10 years old. We 1 (see) a TV show about yard sales. People held the yard sales to raise money to help a charity (慈善机构) event for sick 2 (animal). Then my family decided to have a yard sale in my hometown. We have had a yard sale every year since then!
Usually, we start 3 (prepare) for the yard sale at 6:00 a.m. We take our items (物品) out on a table and make 4 (sign) to show the prices. Customers can come as early as 7:00 a.m.! When they find something they want to buy, I will tell them how long we have had it. I am quite good at selling things, but my sister Jenny is 5 (good) than me!
At the end of the day, we made a lot of money and 6 (I) parents count it. We give all the money 7 a different charity every year and keep the rest of the items that were not sold for the next time. I always look forward to yard sales 8 I can get a chance to meet all my neighbors and make new friends. There 9 (be) times when our neighbors will join in the event.

【答案】
1.saw 2.animals 3.preparing/to prepare 4.signs 5.better 6.my 7.to 8.because 9.are 10.a
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以第一人称“我”的视角,讲述了“我”的家庭多年来坚持举办庭院拍卖并以此为慈善筹款的经历,包含了事件的起因、经过、结果以及个人的感受。
1.句意:我们看了一个关于庭院拍卖的电视节目。根据上下文“since I was 10 years old”和“Then my family decided...”可知,这件事发生在过去,句子时态应用一般过去时,谓语动词应用过去式saw。故填saw。
2.句意:人们举办庭院拍卖是为了筹集资金,帮助一个为生病动物举办的慈善活动。animal是可数名词,此处“生病的动物”并非单指一只,而是泛指一类,因此用复数形式animals。故填animals。
3.句意:通常,我们早上6点就开始为庭院拍卖做准备。start后接动词时,可接动名词 (doing) 或不定式 (to do),两者含义相近,均表示“开始做某事”,因此preparing和to prepare均可。故填preparing/to prepare。
4.句意:我们把物品摆到桌子上,然后制作标牌标明价格。sign表示“标牌、指示牌”,是可数名词;庭院拍卖需要多个标牌标注不同物品的价格,因此用复数形式signs。故填signs。
5.句意:我很擅长卖东西,但我妹妹珍妮比我更擅长!根据空格后“than”可知,此处需用形容词的比较级形式,good的比较级为不规则变化better。故填better。
6.句意:一天结束时,我们赚了很多钱,我父母会把钱数一数。此处需用形容词性物主代词修饰名词“parents”,表示“我的父母”;“I”是人称代词主格,其形容词性物主代词为my“我的”。故填my。
7.句意:我们每年都会把所有的钱捐给一个不同的慈善机构,剩下没卖掉的物品则留到下次再用。考查固定搭配“give sth. to sb./sth.”,表示“把某物给某人/某物”。故填to。
8.句意:我总是期待庭院拍卖,因为我有机会见到所有邻居并结交新朋友。分析句子结构和语义可知,前半句“I always look forward to yard sales”是结果,后半句“I can get a chance to meet all my neighbors and make new friends”是原因,应用连词because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
9.句意:有时候,我们的邻居也会加入这个活动。考查there be句型的主谓一致,主语“times”是复数,且整篇文章描述的是一种常态和惯例,所以用一般现在时,be动词应用are。故填are。
10.句意:你会看到整个街区的人都在外面玩得很开心。考查固定搭配“have a good time”,表示“玩得开心、过得愉快”,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
阅读短文,在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The wind usually blows 1 (strong) on cold winter nights. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. Some of them are 2 poor that they have no money to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, made a 3 (decide) to do something. Every night, he puts on a Spiderman suit (蜘蛛侠的服装) and gives food to the 4 (home) people he meets.
The man refuses 5 (make) his name public. He hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves (应得) a helping hand. The 25-year-old man 6 (start) his night activities in 2015. Every night at nine, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet alley (小巷) and puts on his “uniform”. After that, the “Spiderman” starts handing his food out to people in need. Now he is used to 7 (help) the people.
The man said, “I wear the Spiderman suit to get attention. Without the suit, few people took a second look at me when I was handing out food. When people see the Spiderman, however, they come over and ask 8 I am doing.”
“The Birmingham Spiderman” is very popular now. Many people give away money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need by 9 (they). He said, “If everyone does what he can 10 (care) for others, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold.”
【答案】
1.strongly 2.so 3.decision 4.homeless 5.to make 6.started 7.helping 8.what 9.themselves 10.to care
【导语】本文介绍了一位英国伯明翰的年轻人每晚穿着蜘蛛侠服装为无家可归者分发食物。他自2015年开始这项善举,希望通过自己的行动鼓励人们互相帮助,传递温暖。
1.句意:寒风通常在寒冷的冬夜刮得很猛烈。根据“The wind usually blows...on cold winter nights.”可知,此处是一个副词修饰动词“blows”。“strong”的副词为“strongly”,表示“猛烈地”,符合“风刮得猛烈”的语境。故填strongly。
2.句意:他们中有些人穷得连买食物的钱都没有。根据“Some of them are...poor that they have no money to buy food.”可知,“so...that...”为固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”。句中“poor”为形容词,需用“so”修饰,“so poor”表示“如此穷”。故填so。
3.句意:英国伯明翰的一位年轻人决定做点什么。根据“A young man in Birmingham, England, made a...to do something.”可知,“make a decision”为固定短语,意为“做决定”。“decide”为动词,其名词形式为“decision”。故填decision。
4.句意:每晚,他都穿上蜘蛛侠的服装,把食物分给遇到的无家可归者。根据“Every night, he puts on a Spiderman suit and gives food to the...people he meets.”可知,此处是一个形容词,修饰“people”,“home”表示“家”,其形容词形式为“homeless”。“the homeless people”表示“无家可归的人”。故填homeless。
5.句意:这个男人拒绝公开自己的姓名。根据“The man refuses...his name public.”可知,“refuse to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“拒绝做某事”,因此“make”需用不定式“to make”。故填to make。
6.句意:这位25岁的男子从2015年开始他的夜间活动。根据“The 25-year-old man...his night activities in 2015.”可知,本句时态为一般过去时态,因此谓语动词应该使用过去式,“start”的过去式为“started”。故填started。
7.句意:现在他习惯了帮助人们。根据“Now he is used to...the people.”可知,“be used to doing sth.”表示“习惯于做某事”,其中“to”为介词,后接动名词。“help”的动名词形式为“helping”。故填helping。
8.句意:然而,当人们看到蜘蛛侠时,他们会走过来问我在做什么。根据“When people see the Spiderman, however, they come over and ask...I am doing.”可知,此处引导宾语从句,作“ask”的宾语,且从句中“am doing”缺少宾语,需用连接代词“what”,表示“什么”。故填what。
9.句意:相反,他鼓励人们走出去,自己去帮助有需要的人。根据“Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need by...”可知,“by oneself”为固定短语,意为“独自、自己”,句子主语为“people”,因此使用反身代词“themselves”,表示“靠他们自己”。故填themselves。
10.句意:如果每个人都尽自己所能去关心他人,寒冷的冬夜就不会那么冷了。根据“If everyone does what he can...for others, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold.”可知,“do what one can to do sth.”为固定结构,意为“尽某人所能做某事”,“to care for others”作目的状语,因此用不定式“to care”。故填to care。

Last month, our school organized a volunteer activity at the city library. I loved reading, so I signed 1 thinking twice. I thought it would be the easiest and most 2 job—just being around books all day.
However, my task was not to read, but to help sort and return books to the shelves. Mrs. Li, the librarian, told us, “This job needs 3 and responsibility (责任心). A misplaced book is almost a 4 one.” At first, I found it boring and tiring. I had to run between different sections, and my feet ached. I wasn’t tall 5 to reach the top shelves, so I had to use a ladder again and again. I started to think I had made a 6 .
One afternoon, I 7 an old man walking slowly between the bookshelves. He looked confused. I remembered Mrs. Li’s words about being helpful, so I went over and asked 8 , “Can I help you find something?”
He looked up, a bit surprised, and said, “I’m looking for a book on Chinese history for my grandson. But I’m not good at 9 these computers.” I helped him use the search system and found the book. His smile of thanks was so genuine (真诚的)that I felt a sudden warmth in my heart.
From that day on, I started to pay more 10 to the people around me. I helped a little girl find her favorite storybook and showed a student 11 to borrow books. Every “thank you” made me feel useful. The library wasn’t 12 a place of silent books any more; it was a place where small acts of kindness could make a big difference.
The activity ended last week. Now, I understand that volunteering is not about having a comfortable job. 13 , it’s about using your time to help others and make things better. It’s about the feeling you get when you see the smile you helped to create. It was a valuable lesson that I won’t 14 easily. Sometimes, the most important discoveries aren’t in the books on the shelves, 15 in the actions we take to help each other.

When 14-year-old Li Jiawei first joined her school’s “Old Book Sharing” club, she thought it was just a way to clear out (清理) used textbooks. But three months later, she found the club was more than that—it was a bridge between her and kids in mountain villages.
The club’s rule is simple: students bring old storybooks, picture books, or textbooks they don’t need anymore. Every Wednesday afternoon, volunteers (志愿者) get together to sort the books by subject—putting storybooks in one box and textbooks in another. Some also stick handwritten notes of encouragement in the books; Jiawei once wrote “This book took me to magical worlds—hope it does the same for you!” in a fairy tale book. She thought her note might be like a stone dropped into the sea. However, to her surprise, she got a letter back from a 9-year-old girl in Songyang, a mountainous area in Zhejiang, saying she reread the story three times and she would cherish this special “gift” forever. “That letter made me cry,” Jiawei smiled. The girl in Songyang touched Li with her words. “I never knew that small things like old books or a few words could be so powerful,” Jiawei told the reporter. After that, the two girls began to become good friends and shared everything in letters.
So far, the club has collected over 2,000 books and sent them to 12 small primary schools. “Our volunteers will make sure each book is clean and pack it carefully. Sharing books isn’t just about giving away old things,” said Ms. Zhang, the club’s advisor. “It’s about passing on kindness and letting both sides feel the pleasure of communication.”

How is it going? These days we had a discussion about why students should do volunteer work. Here are my opinions to share with you.
Doing volunteer work not only helps us to learn about life out of class that we can’t learn from the text, but also develops our life skills which can help take care of ourselves. It’s even more helpful for us to grow up. It’s not enough for us to just get good grades at school. We should learn how to help others because helping others is helping ourselves. What’s more, during doing volunteer work, we can make more friends who have the same interest as us and know what we want to be and try our best to make it.
What do you think of it? Would you like to share your ideas with me?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
