Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. “You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help you if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “… little things can change a person’s life.”

71.第一段引用志愿者Mason的话:“You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better...”,说明志愿服务可以帮助改善人们的生活(make people’s life better)。
72.根据文中提供的建议,“Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.”,邀请朋友或家人一起参与可以消除孤独感,帮助人们迈出第一步。

Do you want to make delicious food at home easily? As we learn in Unit 7, cooking simple dishes is not as hard as many students think. Last week, our class held a small food festival to raise money for poor kids in mountain villages. Every group prepared different kinds of traditional food from all over China.
Li Mei’s group made fruit salad. She cut apples, bananas and strawberries into small pieces, added some yogurt and mixed them up. It tasted sweet and cool, and many students bought it. Wang Tao’s team cooked fried rice with eggs and carrots. He told us that the key to good fried rice is to use cold cooked rice, so the rice won’t stick together. My group chose to make Sichuan spicy tofu. At first, I was afraid it would be too hot, but we put less chili oil, so it was suitable for most classmates.
We sold all the food in two hours. We got over 800 yuan in total. Our teacher said we could send the money to buy new books and schoolbags for the children far away. Through this activity, I learned two important things. First, cooking is a useful life skill that everyone should master. Second, small kindness can bring great warmth to people in need. If you have free time, try to cook for your family or join in charity activities like this food festival. It will bring you a special sense of achievement.
79.Why did the class hold the food festival?
A.To learn cooking skills.
B.To raise money for poor children.
C.To enjoy different local food.
D.To compete for cooking prizes.
80.What did Li Mei’s group make?

D.Mix it with yogurt.
82.How much money did they get at last?
A.Less than 800 yuan.
B.More than 800 yuan.
C.Exactly 800 yuan.
D.About 600 yuan.

Katie Steller has her own salon (美发厅). She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts (理发).
Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children.
These people like Edward are all having a hard time, and Steller knows the power of her job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teenager, she had a very serious illness and her hair thinned (变少) terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first formal haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me made me feel like a normal person, it helped me feel cared about and less lonely,” she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project.
She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.”
Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. The acts can be volunteering for snowstorm relief (救济), helping neighbours in need, etc. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares online. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own.
So far Steller has had people help out from around the country.
84.What does Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in Paragraph 4?
A.A haircut can solve people’s problems. B.A haircut is what people need most.
C.People prefer haircut stories. D.A haircut can show care, value and respect.
85.Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project?
A.To help her neighbours in need. B.To make customers go to her salon.
C.To help the lonely people feel less lonely. D.To invite customers to tell their kind acts.
86.Which words best describe Katie Steller?
A.Lonely and quiet. B.Kind and helpful.
C.Creative and lucky. D.Serious and careful.
87.Which sentence best shows the topic of the story?
A.Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut matter.
B.Haircuts need practice and practice makes perfect.
C.It’s pretty sad to see how lonely people look.
D.We can win great respect by giving free haircuts.
【答案】84.D 85.C 86.B 87.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了美发师Katie Steller通过免费理发的方式帮助他人的故事。她不仅创立了“红椅子项目”,还发起了“Steller善意项目”,用理发传递善意,帮助他人减少孤独感,并鼓励更多人参与善举。
84.第四段:“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”,Steller的原话说明,理发不只是单纯的剪发,更是传递价值、尊重与关怀的方式;因此,“It’s more than a haircut”的含义是理发能展现关怀、价值与尊重。
85.根据第七段“After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project.”和第八段“She says, ‘I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.’”可知,Steller创立红椅子项目,是希望通过免费理发,让人们感受到被关怀,减少孤独感;因此,项目的目的是帮助孤独的人减少孤独感。
86.根据第一段“She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.”和倒数第二段“Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut... Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own.”可知,Katie Steller为他人免费理发、发起善意项目,传递温暖并鼓励他人行善,这些行为体现了她善良且乐于助人的品质。
87.全文围绕Katie Steller通过免费理发这一简单善举,为他人带去温暖、减少孤独,并带动更多人践行善意展开。文章的核心是“免费理发这类简单的善举,有着重要的意义,能传递关怀与善意”;因此,最能体现主题的句子是“Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut matter.”。
Many people think that only adults can make a difference in the world. However, a group of students from No. 8 Middle School proved that young people can also bring “sunshine” to those in need.
Last month, these students started a project called “Care & Share”. Their main goal was to help the homeless people living near the city park. At first, they collected old clothes, blankets, and food from their neighbors and classmates. Within two weeks, they gathered over 300 items!
But they didn’t stop there. On weekends, the team went to the park to hand out these supplies. During their visits, they noticed that many homeless people looked sad and lonely. So, the students decided to do more than just give things. They began to sit down and chat with them, listening to their stories. They learned that some of these people used to be teachers, workers, or even artists.
One student, Li Meng, said, “I used to be afraid of talking to strangers. But now, I feel happy when I see a smile on their faces. It makes me realize that everyone needs care, no matter who they are.”
The project not only helped the homeless but also changed the students themselves. They became more confident and responsible. Now, more students in the school want to join the project. They believe that small acts of kindness can truly make the world a better place.
88.What was the name of the project started by the students?
A.Sunshine Project B.Care & Share
C.Helping Hands D.Students’ Union
89.What did the students do first to help the homeless?
A.They built houses for them. B.They gave them money directly.
C.They collected clothes and food. D.They invited them to their school.
90.Why did the students start chatting with the homeless people?
A.Because they wanted to practice English.
B.Because the homeless people asked them for stories.
C.Because they found the homeless people were lonely.
D.Because they needed information for a newspaper report.
91.What change happened to the students after the project?
A.They became more confident and responsible.
B.They decided to leave school early.
C.They started to avoid strangers.
D.They realized adults should do all the work.
【答案】88.B 89.C 90.C 91.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了第八中学的学生通过“Care & Share”项目帮助无家可归者的故事,展现了年轻人也能通过行动带来改变。
88.第二段第一句明确指出:“Last month, these students started a project called ‘Care & Share’.”,因此项目名称是“Care & Share”。
89.第二段中提到:“At first, they collected old clothes, blankets, and food from their neighbors and classmates.”,说明他们首先收集衣物和食物。
90.第三段中提到:“During their visits, they noticed that many homeless people looked sad and lonely. So, the students decided to... sit down and chat with them.”,因此他们开始聊天是因为发现无家可归者很孤独。
91.最后一段中提到:“The project not only helped the homeless but also changed the students themselves. They became more confident and responsible.”,说明学生们在项目后变得更加自信和有责任感。

三、阅读理解
Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. “You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help you if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “… little things can change a person’s life.”

Do you want to make delicious food at home easily? As we learn in Unit 7, cooking simple dishes is not as hard as many students think. Last week, our class held a small food festival to raise money for poor kids in mountain villages. Every group prepared different kinds of traditional food from all over China.
Li Mei’s group made fruit salad. She cut apples, bananas and strawberries into small pieces, added some yogurt and mixed them up. It tasted sweet and cool, and many students bought it. Wang Tao’s team cooked fried rice with eggs and carrots. He told us that the key to good fried rice is to use cold cooked rice, so the rice won’t stick together. My group chose to make Sichuan spicy tofu. At first, I was afraid it would be too hot, but we put less chili oil, so it was suitable for most classmates.
We sold all the food in two hours. We got over 800 yuan in total. Our teacher said we could send the money to buy new books and schoolbags for the children far away. Through this activity, I learned two important things. First, cooking is a useful life skill that everyone should master. Second, small kindness can bring great warmth to people in need. If you have free time, try to cook for your family or join in charity activities like this food festival. It will bring you a special sense of achievement.

Katie Steller has her own salon (美发厅). She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts (理发).
Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children.
These people like Edward are all having a hard time, and Steller knows the power of her job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teenager, she had a very serious illness and her hair thinned (变少) terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first formal haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me made me feel like a normal person, it helped me feel cared about and less lonely,” she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project.
She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.”
Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. The acts can be volunteering for snowstorm relief (救济), helping neighbours in need, etc. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares online. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own.
So far Steller has had people help out from around the country.

85.Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project?

C.To help the lonely people feel less lonely. D.To invite customers to tell their kind acts.
86.Which words best describe Katie Steller?

C.Creative and lucky. D.Serious and careful.
87.Which sentence best shows the topic of the story?
A.Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut matter.

Many people think that only adults can make a difference in the world. However, a group of students from No. 8 Middle School proved that young people can also bring “sunshine” to those in need.
Last month, these students started a project called “Care & Share”. Their main goal was to help the homeless people living near the city park. At first, they collected old clothes, blankets, and food from their neighbors and classmates. Within two weeks, they gathered over 300 items!
But they didn’t stop there. On weekends, the team went to the park to hand out these supplies. During their visits, they noticed that many homeless people looked sad and lonely. So, the students decided to do more than just give things. They began to sit down and chat with them, listening to their stories. They learned that some of these people used to be teachers, workers, or even artists.
One student, Li Meng, said, “I used to be afraid of talking to strangers. But now, I feel happy when I see a smile on their faces. It makes me realize that everyone needs care, no matter who they are.”
The project not only helped the homeless but also changed the students themselves. They became more confident and responsible. Now, more students in the school want to join the project. They believe that small acts of kindness can truly make the world a better place.
88.What was the name of the project started by the students?
A.Sunshine Project B.Care & Share
C.Helping Hands D.Students’ Union
89.What did the students do first to help the homeless?
A.They built houses for them. B.They gave them money directly.
C.They collected clothes and food. D.They invited them to their school.
90.Why did the students start chatting with the homeless people?
A.Because they wanted to practice English.
B.Because the homeless people asked them for stories.
C.Because they found the homeless people were lonely.
D.Because they needed information for a newspaper report.
91.What change happened to the students after the project?
