The USA is large in size, and each state has its own unique culture, people, landscape, and opportunities, making it one of the best places to volunteer—for both locals and foreigners. Here are the best volunteer programs for 2024.
It is designed for foreigners who love the great outdoors, and want to reconnect with nature. It is one of the best volunteer programs for animal lovers, with opportunities to work in forests, and learn about endangered animals and wildlife. Every volunteer trip is both picturesque and wildly adventurous.
It combines outdoor adventure travel with volunteering, with opportunities in environmental and wildlife protection in some of the most beautiful landscapes. Volunteers from American can travel to Alaska where they’ll spend their free time hiking through tundra(苔原)and boating down rivers surrounded by snowy mountain peaks.
All Hands and Hearts It is designed for disaster relief and community development, whether you’re helping with earthquake destruction in California, hurricane relief in Texas, or medical response everywhere in between. As the program relies on donations alone, you won’t be troubled by an expensive program fee.
Bike &Build It combines volunteer work with travel, education, and most of all—biking! Volunteers can jump on three different routes to hit cities across Florida, Virginia, California, and more. In each destination, you’ll participate in hands-on building projects for affordable housing, making a huge impact in local communities.

A baby giraffe, called a calf, can stand up and walk about an hour after it comes into the world. At least, it should be able to. That wasn’t the case with Msituni, a giraffe born at the Safari Park. The very day Msituni was born, her front legs were bending improperly, making it difficult for her to stand and walk.
Dr. Kinney, the wildlife care specialist at the park and his team recognized the problem and reacted quickly. They realized Msituni would need medical treatment. First of all, they decided to bottle raise Msituni because her injuries prevented her from staying with her mom. The care team aimed to reduce long-term joint damage, and do their best to ensure Msituni has a long, healthy life.
With the information from the detailed 3D imaging of Msituni’s legs, the care team determined that specialized orthotic braces(矫形器)should be able to fix the position of Msituni’s legs. However, her size made finding supports for her legs very challenging.
The solution came in partnership with Hanger Clinic a nationwide provider of orthotic braces. While the company focuses on care for humans, the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice. Together, they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down, stand, walk, and run like a health giraffe.
Finally, the treatments were a success. After about two months, with Msituni’s legs correctly positioned, caregivers were able to remove her leg braces. Today, Msituni can be found playing with the rest of giraffes in the Safari Park.
“It was worthwhile to use problem-solving skills to help wildlife,” said Dr. Kinney. “To address the challenges that wildlife faces, we need to work together.”
14. What was Msituni’s problem
A. She got injured in the park.
B. She had trouble with her legs.
C. She found it difficult to breathe.
D She was left alone by her mother.
15. To help Msituni, Dr. Kinney and his group ______.
A. developed a special medicine
B. were teamed up with other experts
C. trained Msituni how to live in the wild
D. guided the healthy giraffes to accept Msituni

Everywhere I look, there are new buildings being built. The neighbourhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. If we continue in this way, nothing will remain of our heritage; soon I will no longer recognize my city. What is left of the city’s traditional buildings and neighbourhoods must be preserved and it is important to begin this process now.
Historic preservation has become popular all over the world in recent years, but many countries have chosen new construction over preservation. There is good reason for this. As the population has become larger, people want the usefulness of modern living. However, the built environment should be more than shiny new buildings with air conditioning and washing machines; it should also show the beauty of our culture and heritage. How can our children understand our culture if we erase so much of the physical evidence (物证) of it
The reasons for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional connection to the past. There are also good economic reasons in favour of preservation. The repair and preservation of historic sites can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. There are several good examples of this in the Middle East. In Dubai, the historic AI Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local people, eager to learn about their city’s past.
Those who are against historic preservation think that it is too expensive. But many recent projects all over the world have told us that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation (翻新) of an existing building can cost about $40 per square metre less than even the most basic new building, while preserving the beauty of the original building. What is more, environmental experts believe that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New building almost always has a more serious environmental influence because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too.
17. How does the author feel about his neighbourhood
A Unsafe. B. Confused. C. Bored. D. Upset.
18. As for international visitors, which would the author agree with
A. They prefer modern accommodation.
B. They get along well with local people.
C. They want to learn about culture and traditions.
D. They choose destinations based on local economy.
19. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph
A. The advantages of historic preservation.
B. Recent progress in heritage preservation.
C. The challenges historic preservation faces.
D. People’s impression of preservation projects.

根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Math anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear people have when they have to do a math task. Kids can feel anxious about math without it becoming a problem. A little stress about a math problem can even help kids be more productive. ___20___ It can even cause kids to lose interest in school. This fear of math is very common. Researchers believe about 3 to 5 percent of kids experience math anxiety.
___21___ They may worry they’ll do poorly on a math test, even though they understand the material and have studied hard. They try to avoid going to math class when there’s a quiz or a test. Some of them get good grades on math homework, but not on tests.
We don’t know exactly what causes math anxiety. ___22___ We can’t prove that tests cause math anxiety, either. Math anxiety runs in families, so genetics may play a role. Repeated bad experiences with math could, too. Having underlying (潜在的) trouble with math can also lead to math anxiety.
Understanding basic math concepts (概念) can help reduce math anxiety. But it’s just as important for kids to believe in their ability to do basic math. ___23___ What you don’t want to do is completely remove math from a child who’s feeling math anxiety. That’s not helpful. Some stress can be good. The goal is for kids to feel the right level of challenge. Parents and teachers should work together to help kids with math anxiety.
A. This helps them feel less self-doubt.
B. What are signs of math anxiety in kids
C. But math anxiety is different and more serious.
D. Due to their lack of confidence, doing well on a math test is impossible.
E. We do know that having just one bad experience with math doesn’t cause it.
第三节(共3小题;第24、25题每小题2分，第26题3分，共7分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题。
Can you speak more than one language Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.
Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world.
Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may, not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time.
Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings recommends writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding yourself of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.”
24. What is the difference between countries and languages
____________________________________________________
25. What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England
____________________________________________________
26. Rawlings says, “The more you learn, the easier it gets.” Do you agree Why or why not (In about 40 words)

Everywhere I look, there are new buildings being built. The neighbourhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. If we continue in this way, nothing will remain of our heritage; soon I will no longer recognize my city. What is left of the city’s traditional buildings and neighbourhoods must be preserved and it is important to begin this process now.
Historic preservation has become popular all over the world in recent years, but many countries have chosen new construction over preservation. There is good reason for this. As the population has become larger, people want the usefulness of modern living. However, the built environment should be more than shiny new buildings with air conditioning and washing machines; it should also show the beauty of our culture and heritage. How can our children understand our culture if we erase so much of the physical evidence (物证) of it
The reasons for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional connection to the past. There are also good economic reasons in favour of preservation. The repair and preservation of historic sites can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. There are several good examples of this in the Middle East. In Dubai, the historic AI Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local people, eager to learn about their city’s past.
Those who are against historic preservation think that it is too expensive. But many recent projects all over the world have told us that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation (翻新) of an existing building can cost about $40 per square metre less than even the most basic new building, while preserving the beauty of the original building. What is more, environmental experts believe that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New building almost always has a more serious environmental influence because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too.

New building almost always has a more serious environmental influence because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too.(事实上，在保留原有建筑美感的同时，翻修一栋现有建筑每平方米的成本甚至比最基本的新建筑还要低40美元左右。更重要的是，环境专家认为最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑。新建筑几乎总是有更严重的环境影响，因为它需要使用必须长途运输的全新材料，而不是已经在现场的回收材料。我们回收了很多其他的东西。我们可以也应该回收建筑。)”可知，最后一段主要讨论了保护历史建筑的好处。故选A。

Math anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear people have when they have to do a math task. Kids can feel anxious about math without it becoming a problem. A little stress about a math problem can even help kids be more productive. ___20___ It can even cause kids to lose interest in school. This fear of math is very common. Researchers believe about 3 to 5 percent of kids experience math anxiety.
___21___ They may worry they’ll do poorly on a math test, even though they understand the material and have studied hard. They try to avoid going to math class when there’s a quiz or a test. Some of them get good grades on math homework, but not on tests.
We don’t know exactly what causes math anxiety. ___22___ We can’t prove that tests cause math anxiety, either. Math anxiety runs in families, so genetics may play a role. Repeated bad experiences with math could, too. Having underlying (潜在的) trouble with math can also lead to math anxiety.
Understanding basic math concepts (概念) can help reduce math anxiety. But it’s just as important for kids to believe in their ability to do basic math. ___23___ What you don’t want to do is completely remove math from a child who’s feeling math anxiety. That’s not helpful. Some stress can be good. The goal is for kids to feel the right level of challenge. Parents and teachers should work together to help kids with math anxiety.
A. This helps them feel less self-doubt.
B. What are signs of math anxiety in kids
C. But math anxiety is different and more serious.
D. Due to their lack of confidence, doing well on a math test is impossible.

A little stress about a math problem can even help kids be more productive.(数学焦虑是人们在做数学任务时产生的一种担心或恐惧的感觉。孩子们可以对数学感到焦虑，但它不会成为一个问题。对数学题的一点压力甚至可以帮助孩子们更有效率)”以及后文“It can even cause kids to lose interest in school. This fear of math is very common. Researchers believe about 3 to 5 percent of kids experience math anxiety.(它甚至会导致孩子们对学校失去兴趣。这种对数学的恐惧是很普遍的。研究人员认为，大约3%到5%的孩子患有数学焦虑症)”可知，后文提到了数学焦虑导致孩子对学校失去兴趣，可知本句与上文构成转折，指出对数学题的压力没有数学焦虑导致的后果严重。故C选项“但是数学焦虑是不同的，而且更严重”符合语境，故选C。
【21题详解】

第三节(共3小题;第24、25题每小题2分，第26题3分，共7分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题。
Can you speak more than one language Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.
Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world.
Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may, not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time.
Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings recommends writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding yourself of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.”
24. What is the difference between countries and languages
____________________________________________________
25. What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England

____________________________________________________
【答案】24. Unlike countries, languages have no borders and can connect people around the world.
25. Sharing interests in English.
26. I agree. Because with the deepening of our study, we will find that our English level is gradually improving, and our grammar and vocabulary are also increasing. At the same time, this will also help us better understand and use English.
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了学习多种语言的好处。
