I arrived early to be first because I knew it would take a while. After getting my pulse (脉搏) and blood pressure 11 , a young woman walked me to the donor area. While she was getting the things ready, we talked about the weather. I also told her that the only pain I really got from 12 blood was later when I pulled the tape bandage (绷带) off my hairy Italian arms. While I was talking, 13 , I was feeling a gentle urge in my heart to say something else. Finally I stopped talking and said to the young woman: “I’m 14 for all the hard work you guys put in. You really are saving lives!” She looked 15 for a second, blinking back tears. “Thank you”, she said. “No one ever says that.” It seemed my simple words had deeply 16 her heart. Later after I had finished donating, I saw the woman working with another donor and we waved and shared a 17 before I headed home. I left the church with a clear head and a happy heart. I was glad I’d followed my inner 18 . Henry James wrote: “Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.” His words 19 us of the power of kindness. If you feel the gentle urge within to say or do something kind then, don’t hold back. God wants you to do them. God’s love lives deep within all of our souls. We are here to spread joy and make this world a better place with everything we say and everything we do.

It was a special place filled with laughter (笑声) and energy. When I arrived, the center director (中心主任) welcomed me and explained my tasks for the day. First, I helped with the handicraft (手工艺品) activity. We made paper boats. I showed the children how to fold the paper step by step. Some of them could follow the steps quickly, while others needed a bit more patience (耐心). We colored the boats with bright markers, making them look really cool. After that, it was time for a music-listening session (音乐聆听环节). We put on some lively children’s songs. The kids danced and sang along. It was so much fun to see their happy faces. During the break, I played simple board games with the children. We played “Snakes and Ladders”. Everyone was excited, trying their best to win. Before leaving, the children thanked me and asked me to come back soon. This volunteering experience made me realize how much joy I could bring to others, and I can’t wait to do it again. 根据语篇内容做出判断，正确选A、错误选B、未提及选C。（未提及表示在语篇中没有提到句中信息） ( )21．The writer volunteered at the Children’s Activity Center last year.

If you’re upset about something that’s happened—like a storm or other disasters (灾难) —doing something about it can be a great way to deal with your feelings. Volunteering also lets you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes it’s easy to worry about things like grades or get angry because you don’t have the most expensive gym shoes or the newest computer game. Volunteering lets you spend some time focusing on others for a while. Lots of people including kids find that they really enjoy volunteering. Volunteer experiences often put you in a different environment and show you people and situations that you wouldn’t have come across in your life. For example, you might learn that just on the edge (边缘) of your town are some kids who really need winter clothes. It is good to be able to meet a need like that. You’ll know that, thanks to you, some kids have warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. So whether it’s winter clothes, food for the hungry, or homes for unwanted pets, doing volunteer work means one very important thing: You make a difference in the world. So where do you start? ( )31．What should you do if someone is in trouble? A．Help him or her. B．Keep quiet. C．Go away quickly. D．Stay away from him or her. ( )32．Volunteering can make you ________ according to the passage. A．worry about your grades B．get angry and tired C．see your own life in new ways D．spend some time with your parents ( )33．What does the underlined word “unwanted” mean in the passage? A．讨厌的 B．没人要的 C．有害的 D．流浪的 ( )34．Which of the following is NOT true? A．It’s not important for us to do volunteer work. B．Many people find that they really enjoy volunteering. C．It is good to help some kids who really need winter clothes. D．Volunteer experiences often put you in a different environment. ( )35．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Deal with Bad Feelings B．Different Kinds of Disasters C．How to Help Poor Kids D．The Meaning and Good Points of Volunteering C Environmental protection is a hot topic in our school. Last week, our school held a “Green Campus” activity to encourage students to protect the environment. All the students in our class took part in the activity. We did many things to make our campus greener. First, we planted some small trees and flowers in the school garden. Second, we put up some posters on the walls to remind students to save water and electricity. Third, we organized a “no-plastic-bag” day, asking students to use cloth bags instead of plastic bags. The activity was very successful. Many students said they learned a lot from it. They realized that small actions can make a big difference. For example, turning off the lights when leaving the classroom, recycling waste paper and taking public transport to school are all easy ways to protect the environment. Our head teacher said, “Environmental protection is not a one-day activity. It should be a habit in our daily life. I hope all of you can keep doing these small things and make our campus and the world a better place.” ( )36．What activity did the school hold last week? A．A sports meeting.

( )38．What did the students do to remind others to save resources? A．They planted trees. B．They used cloth bags. C．They put up posters. D．They recycled paper. ( )39．What did the head teacher say about environmental protection? A．It is a one-day activity. B．It should be a daily habit. C．It is only for students. D．It is hard to do. ( )40．What can we learn from the passage? A．Small actions can help protect the environment. B．Plastic bags are good for the environment. C．The activity was not successful. D．Students don’t like the activity. 第三节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。 Lots of people travel to Nepal to see the highest mountain of the world. 41 If you’d like to join some volunteer programs in other countries, you may be interested in this.
