题型:不详难度:来源:
* Plan practically. Contact the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to attain for the project. What you often consider plentiful here, such as nails or hammers, is in great need in other parts of the world.
* Do the project together, not on your own. You are a guest in the community. The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away, but that you and the community build something as a team. Share skills and build together.
* Be flexible. Not everything is going to happen as planned. Often the other country doesn"t have the right tools, manpower, transportation or funds to get all the needed work done. In a word, they lack infrastructure(基础设施).
* Contact with the people in the community. Often you will have "downtime" outside of the range of the project. Rather than retreat to the group with whom you traveled, be sure to spend time with the people of the community. Listen to the things about their lives. If you can"t speak the language, smiles work wonders. And you will be surprised ― you will find a way to community.
Volunteering is a special and life-long experience for everyone involved. Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you. It"s a joyful, often careful experience which will encourage you to view yourself, your neighbors and your world quite differently.

答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:A
解析
小题1: B
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段1,2行Contact the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to attain for the project.可知要提前和对方的组织取得联系,也就是说要提前做好准备,要发现一些是不是很难找到的材料。故B项提前做好准备是正确的。
小题2: C
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后2行Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you. It"s a joyful, often careful experience which will encourage you to view yourself, your neighbors and your world quite differently.要做好准备,也许被改变的人就是你自己,做国际志愿者是一个很愉快很细致的经历,这鼓励着我们用不同的眼光看待自己,看待他人。也就是说可以改变一个人对待世界的看法。故C正确。
小题3: A
【试题解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段It"s wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence. But how can you become an international volunteer?可知做一名国际志愿者是很棒的事情,但是如何才能成为一名国际志愿者呢?本文主要是就这个话题展开的讨论:要想成为国际志愿者,你要做什么样的准备。故A正确,
【长难句解析】
1.It"s wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence.
【翻译】到另外一个国家,完成一个志愿者计划并感觉到自己真得有积极的影响真是太棒了。
【分析】本句中的it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式结构to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence.这个真正的主语是由三个并列的不定式所组成的,其中的最后两个是由连词and连接在一起的。
2. Not everything is going to happen as planned.
【翻译】并不是每件事情都是按照计划发生的。
【分析】本句中的not everything是一个部分否定结构,当not和every, each, all, both连用的时候,无论not在这些词的前面还是后面都表示部分否定。而neither, none表示的是全部否定。

举一反三
The four children, all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen"s Grand Canyon School, are as different as any other 11-year-old child could be, but they have one thing in common — all are somewhat separated from their classmates. Sam is a newcomer and has had his share of school trouble before; Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father; Judy"s sense of justice always annoys others; Brenton is the smartest child in the school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him. When Brenton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their teacher, the others discover that Brenton has made a time-saving gadget(装置) to do homework for him. While the boy is perfectly able to do his homework himself, Sam, Kelsey and Judy can use the help.
Having perfect grades is something new for these three, and as they meet every day to "do homework", they find that they"re learning a lot about each other. Such a good thing can"t last though, and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch with them, they begin to get nervous. Soon there"s an even more frightening problem ― why can"t the Homework Machine be turned off?
Told in different voices as all the children make statements to the Grand Canyon Police, the story develops in an interesting fashion. Gutman is a gifted writer who has written dozens of children"s books, each with a funny and impressing table that should be equally liked by boys and girls.
小题1: What is one common thing that all the four children have to deal with at school?
A.Getting along with their classmates. |

A.Strange and nervous. | B.Quiet and smart. |
C.Brave and special. | D.Clever and helpful. |
A.They lost touch with each other. |
B.They were questioned by a strange man. |
C.They had no idea how to stop the machine. |
D.They were tracked down by the police. |
A.a student"s diary | B.a book review | C.a school report | D.a science story |
People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam (web camera) than when they use social networking sites, a study has found.
Dr. Roberts, a famous lecture at the University of Chester, said such websites don"t appear to help make true friendships. Based on two questionnaires(调查表), he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.
Dr. Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate, said, "The bottom lime conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of communication. They depend on quality, and even Skype(一种网络即时语音沟通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time on Facebook." Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile, the research says. The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.
People find the most satisfying relationships come from a small number of close friends, with an outer "ring" of 10 significant others. With these people, it doesn"t matter what type of social media you use for communication. But people who want to "contact the world at large" using Facebook can be disappointed because they spread themselves too thinly, claim researchers.
In a third study, Dr. Roberts asked people to communicate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14-day diary. This was compared with communicating via phone, text messages or social networking sites. People communicating face to face on Skype were 50% more likely to laugh, and they rated themselves as significantly happier.
小题1: Dr. Roberts"s finding that there was no connection between Facebook use and people with many friends was .
A.based on questionnaires | B.based on conversations |
C.through instant messages | D.through social media |
A.Most people contact each other online. |
B.Keeping a friend for life is not easy. |
C.The quality of communication is important. |
D.Skype is better at understanding us than Facebook. |
A.They are too excited to express themselves. |
B.They limit their social circle to a small range. |
C.They spread their information at a low speed. |
D.They lack information to introduce themselves. |
A.Positive. | B.Casual. | C.Responsible. | D.Unsupportive. |
Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.
Book Reviews
Discuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.
Movie Reviews
Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.
Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending!
College Reviews
Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.
小题1:When writing a review, you ________.
cannot refer to any previous review
must express your own views and opinions
must provide some information about the author
needn’t give any examples to support your views
小题2:Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?
A.Strengths and weaknesses. | B.Plot and character. |
C.Programs and scenes. | D.Location and description. |
A.In a personal diary. |
B.In an official report. |
C.In a tourist guidebook. |
D.In a popular magazine. |
September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a child’s confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.
小题1: The author holds that it’s a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _____.
A.a child’s schedule is too complex |
B.activities suitable for kids are limited |
C.parents are stuck in numerous choices |
D.children always say no to parents’ advice |
A.children love to stay at school |
B.they are popular with children |
C.children dislike after-school classes |
D.after-school classes are of poor quality |
A.Parents want to make up for their own regrets. |
B.After-school classes develop children’s potential. |
C.Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children. |
D.After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent. |
A.For children’s benefits, the earlier the better. |
B.Children’s spare time should be carefully designed. |
C.Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past. |
D.Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason., |
The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five. Stand up, little one, "he asked the girl softly. "I did this for your mother, your uncles, your
old brother, and now you ! "
Then, he handed the book to her. "Taste f "
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.
" What is the taste?" the grandpa asked.
The little girl answered, " Sweet ! "
Then all. the family said in a single voice, "Yes, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after it through the pages of a book ! " The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read.
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children"s book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker.
In this book, Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read, inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn"t until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world.
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with. meaning, the child bees acquainted(熟悉的) with a common past which he or she renews, to a greater or lesser degree, in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You, Mr. Falker puts it, " Almost as if it were magic, or as if light poured into her brain, the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before-And she understood the whole thing---Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness---Then she held the book, honey and all, close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks, but they weren"t tears of sadness- she way happy, so very happy. "
小题1:The girl who tasted the honey on the book was ______.
A. nearly six years old | B.less than five years old |

A.the girl"s mother and uncles were good scholars |
B.Mr. Falker helped Patricia Polacco write her book for children. |
