I’ve been working at a bush school in Papua New Guinea for a month. The classrooms are made of bamboo. I walk to school along a dusty track, where warm “good morning” always 1 me. The local students walk long distances to school without uniforms.
There is no electricity or textbooks. The students only have simple stationery. I am still struggling to 2 myself to the terrible conditions. Science is the most 3 subject, for the students have no 4 of doing experiments. Worse still, I have to carry water from my house every day.
I learned not to be too 5 about rules. Once a chemical mixture bubbled out of the test tube, and the class became a 6 as the boys, who had never come across anything like this before, started jumping out of the windows.I often doubt whether chemistry is of any use, for 7 students here will become scientists. I even question if I can make a 8 to their lives.
Later, I visited my student Tombe’s village. We spent hours 9 a mountain to reach the remote village. All villagers appeared closely 10 to Tombe. Their bamboo hut was dark, and it took time for our eyes to 11 to the dim light.
The local people heated stones to cook food. I also saw a can used to 12 leftover food, because they believe leftovers attract bad spirits. Tired and weak, we 13 ourselves down the mountain the next morning.
For teenagers, there is no magical 14 for self-improvement. As for volunteer work, we must bravely 15 diverse challenges. We need great 16 when working with people in tough conditions.
Volunteering teaches me to share time and 17. I begin to truly 18 what I own. Those poor students are highly 19 and never take things for granted. I now value small happiness and keep an open mind, hoping to keep spreading 20 to people in need.

II.七选五 (共5题,每题1分,满分5分)
Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing.
Recently, we often see Chinese people aiding development in distant foreign countries on TV. 21 Besides, Chinese miners, medical workers and technical experts spread across the globe to offer support. Many people doubt: Why help overseas areas when China still has underdeveloped regions?
I once shared such doubts. My mother, a doctor, has served as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania for two years, as a member of China’s medical aid team.
22 She was not only my family caregiver, but also my closest friend. We stayed together almost all the time. So I felt extremely upset that she left without my agreement.
Later I learned about the serious troubles in Tanzania. 23 Although the country is rich in natural resources, local people lack basic facilities like electricity and running water that we take for granted.
My mother helped build a local cardiac hospital. Before it was built, heart patients had to receive costly overseas operations, and many lost their lives untreated. 24 Besides, she travels around rural villages to treat patients, train local doctors and promote China’s effective malaria treatment.
I’m greatly proud of my mother’s volunteer work now. 25 Every person has the right to a fair life. I have made up my mind to be an international volunteer, and I hope you can join me.
A. To be honest, I felt very sad when my mother left for Africa.
B. Serious rare diseases in China are widely common there.
C. We see Chinese workers building roads, ports, railways and airports worldwide.
D. Now the hospital provides cheap, reliable heart surgery for nearby countries too.
E. Hard life never stopped my mother from devoting herself to medical aid.
F. This meaningful job also matters greatly to our country and ourselves.
G. Volunteering teaches teenagers to value what they own and love sharing.

Volunteering cross borders is a warm tradition of China. Every year, countless Chinese medical workers and experts go to poor African countries to 56 local people with professional help.
At first, I couldn’t 57 why our country spent so much aiding foreigners. China still had many remote areas in need of help. I even thought the effort was meaningless. Later. I learned the story of my mother, a volunteer doctor working in Tanzania. She left home without my agreement, which made me extremely 58. We used to stay together almost all the time, and she was not only my family but also my closest 59. Tanzania faced serious health troubles. Many diseases rare in China were 60 there. Local people had no basic life facilities we took for granted. Heart patients had to travel abroad for expensive operations, and many died without 61.
My mother joined the project to 62 a local cardiac hospital. Now it treats patients from Tanzania and neighbouring countries, greatly 63 their lives. She also travelled around villages to treat rural patients, train local doctors and spread Chinese medical skills.
Gradually, I understood the true 64 of sharing. Helping others overseas wasn’t a waste. On the contrary, it built a shared future for the whole world. Tough living conditions never 65 my mother’s enthusiasm. She stayed calm, showed great patience and won deep love from local people.I no longer complained about small troubles in my life. I began to 66 what I owned and value simple happiness. This volunteer experience made me more independent and open-minded.There is no magic trick to personal growth. Change needs action and responsibility. We must bravely 67 challenges when devoting ourselves to charity.

VII.七选五 (共5题,每题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Did you know that every five seconds somebody in the world goes blind? That’s about 45 million people. What is worse is that about half of them do not need to be blind at all.
___71___ It’s when the lens of your eye becomes more and more cloudy until eventually you can’t see anything. That sounds terrible but the treatment is usually possible. Cataracts can be removed and replaced by a special Perspex lens. This simple operation lasts about 20 minutes and by the next day the patient can see again. Cataract treatment is not really a problem in developed countries, but in developing countries the situation is different. ___72___ Because blind people can no longer work, they cannot pay for the operation, so they have no chance of seeing again.
An Australian eye doctor named Fred Hollows was determined to find a way to reduce the cost of this operation. ___73___ After visiting Nepal in 1985, and a few years later the countries of Eritrea and Vietnam, he began training doctors in those countries to perform the operations. Then in 1992, he started the Fred Hollows Foundation, raising enough money to build two laboratories, one in Eritrea and one in Nepal.
The labs were completed in 1994, a year after his death. ____74__ They are now sold in over 50 countries. The Fred Hollows Foundation now works to prevent blindness in more than 25 countries, and it has trained hundreds of local eye doctors. Today, more than two million people have had their eyesight restored, thanks to the work of the foundation.
Fred Hollows spent his life in service to others. He believed action was the answer to human suffering. He once said, “What we’re doing is giving these people the chance to help themselves. We are giving them independence.” __75____
Thank you.
A. Do you know what a “cataract” is?
B.Perspex lenses produced in those labs were much cheaper.
C.He wanted to make the treatment affordable for poor communities.
D.There is less access to treatment, and it is more expensive.
E.Many people in developed countries also suffer from cataracts.
F.It is difficult to train local doctors to perform such operations.
G.In my opinion, this is the best kind of volunteer work: helping others to help themselves.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Audrey Hepburn (Adapted)
Up until just over a year ago, before I was given the great privilege of becoming a volunteer for UNICEF, I used to be overwhelmed by a sense of desperation and helplessness when watching television and reading about the indescribable misery of the developing world's children and their mothers. If I feel less helpless today, it's because I have seen what can be done and what is being done by UNICEF, by all the other agencies, by the churches, by governments and, most of all, by people themselves.
The effect of the monstrous burden of debt has made the poor even poorer and has fallen most heavily on the neediest, and those whom it has damaged the most are the mothers and children. We must do more about the alarming state in which the children in the developing world are only just surviving, especially when we know that the finances needed are minimal compared to the global expenditure of this world; when we know that less than half of one percent of today's world economy would be the total required to eradicate poverty and would meet basic human needs over the next 10 years. In other words, there is no deficit in human resources. The deficit is in human will.
The question I'm most frequently asked is: "What do you really do for UNICEF?" Clearly, my task is to inform, to create awareness of the needs of children. To fully understand the problems of the state of the world's children, it would be nice to be an expert on education, economics, politics, religions, traditions, cultures ... I'm none of these things, but I am a mother and will travel.
There is, unhappily, a need for greater advocacy for children—children haunted by malnutrition, disease, and death, and you don't have to be a financial whizz to look into so many little faces with glazed, diseased eyes to know that this is the result of critical malnutrition, one of the worst symptoms of which is vitamin A deficiency, that causes corneal lesions resulting in partial or total blindness, followed by death within a few weeks. Every year, there are as many as 500,000 such cases in countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, and Ethiopia. Today there are in fact two hundred million children at risk of going blind. Little wonder that I and many other UNICEF volunteers travel the world to raise funds before it's too late, but also to raise awareness and to combat a different kind of darkness—a darkness people find themselves in through lack of information on how easy it is to reach out and help these children. It costs eightyfour cents a year to stop a child from going blind—the price of two vitamin A capsules.
I have known UNICEF for a long time. In fact, almost 45 years ago, I was one of the tens of thousands of children in warravaged Europe to receive aid from UNICEF immediately after our liberation, a liberation that freed us from hunger, repression, and constant violence, and we were reduced to near total poverty, as is the developing world today. It is poverty that is at the root of all their suffering—not having the means to help themselves, and that is what UNICEF is all about: helping people to help themselves, giving them the aid to develop, and thereby allowing them to become selfreliant and live in dignity.
Unlike droughts, floods, or earthquakes, the tragedy of poverty cannot easily be captured by the media and brought to the attention of the worldwide public. It is happening not in any one particular place, but in slums and shanties and neglected rural communities across two continents. It is happening not at any one particular time but over long years of increasing poverty, which have not been featured in the nightly news but which have changed the lives of many millions of people.
UNICEF's business is children, not the workings of the international economy. In its everyday work in over 100 developing nations, UNICEF is brought up against the face of today's international economic problems which is not seen in the corridors of financial power, not reflected in the statistics of debt service ratios, not seated at the conference tables of debt negotiations. It is in the face of a child. It is the young child whose growing mind and body is susceptible to permanent damage from even temporary deprivation. The human brain and body are formed within the first five years of life and there is no second chance. It is the young child whose individual development today and whose social contribution tomorrow are being shaped by the economics of now. It is the young child who is paying the highest of all prices.
If we are meant to "love thy (your) neighbour as thyself", then surely we should love these children as our own. Children are our most vital resource, our hope for the future. Children cannot wait. They are too fragile to wait for an economic crisis to pass. Their time is running out. We must help them now not only to survive, but to hope and perhaps even to dream. Every child has a right to health, to tenderness, and to life.
Thank you!
