People usually consider voluntary work as a completely selfless act, but voluntary work has its place in everyone’s lives, and my personal experiences have confirmed my belief in this.
___16___ I once cleaned up flats where the poor lived in. The space was overcrowded and the items were covered in dust. I couldn’t contain my judgement and was critical about them.

This allowed me to know more about the less fortunate who don’t share my lifestyles. ___17___ Life is more complex than expected and I should sympathize with the disadvantaged.
Volunteer work has reminded me to cherish and appreciate little things in life. When I volunteered to teach life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that they were very grateful to the teachers and assistants by saying “thank you” and smiling. ___18___ Consequently, this has made me more mindful of my priorities in life, and more deliberate in not letting insignificant things bother me. Doing voluntary work has taught me to be happier and more grateful.
Doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning. ___19___ However, excessively pursuing them can often lead to increased discontent and can’t give meaning to one’s life.

B. It is easy to be obsessed with material wants in society.
C. I am now able to go through life with more love and compassion.

Practising General Water Safety
A day at the pool or the beach can be a very relaxing activity. However, if you see someone drowning, that can transform your day into a scary experience. ____36____
Strengthen your swimming skills.
____37____ If you do not know what you are doing, it is possible you could make the situation worse, despite your best intentions. If you are going to be near water, or plan to be, it’s a great idea to take an advanced swimming course.
Practice caution.
Accidents happen, and it is certainly not possible to ensure that drowning incidents don’t occur. ____38____ Make sure that when you are near water you have flotation (漂浮) device with you. If possible, take a cellphone with you to the pool beach so that you can call for help if necessary.
Swim in designated (指定的) areas.
It is always best to swim with a lifeguard on duty. This is important for everyone, even strong swimmers. If you are going to be swimming in a pool, look for one with a regular lifeguard. ____39____ For example, do not go in a lake if it is especially windy and the waves are strong. You should avoid going in the ocean when the tides (潮汐) are very strong. Many beaches post signs or flags advising you of conditions. Do not swim if a warning is posted.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Taking a holiday doesn’t mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices. There are many ways you can have a much-deserved break without harming the environment.
Forget planes. While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide, planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel. ___16___ Many of us ignore the endless beautiful scenery around us. There’s the outstanding beauty of the Mississippi River.
Alternatively, you can drive your car to the Grand Canyon to see its splendor.
Pack with care. ___17___ All of their bottles, from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer (润肤霜), are now made from recycled plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is produced. And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free packaging.
___18___ Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse gases. Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that goes uneaten. So choose an eco-friendly option instead. Camping and a home stay — where you live with a family in their own home — are two of the best options. But if you insist on staying in the hotel, pick one made from sustainable materials. ___19___
Buy gifts responsibly. Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday. ___20___ Avoid anything plastic, or if it is plastic, make sure it is 100% recyclable, and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed for landfill.
A. Consider green accommodation.
B. But make sure you choose items carefully.
C. Think about living in an eco-friendly hotel.
D. It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.
E. So why not give up flying in favor of a holiday closer to home
F. Take environmentally-friendly beauty and bath products with you.
G. So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other transport

Self-criticism (自我批评) is a mental habit of negatively analyzing and judging ourselves and our actions. If we don’t find a way to overcome self-criticism, we won’t be able to live a happy and satisfying life. ____16____.

Thought stopping is one of the best secrets of how to overcome self-criticism. Interrupting your thoughts helps you change how you think about yourself, thus helping you feel better. ____17____. However, with enough practice, you will make it.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后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。
Have you ever looked in your food-waste bin ____12____ It’s estimated that families in the U. K. create more than six million tonnes of food waste each year. “Food waste” means food that could have been eaten but instead is thrown away. Apples, bananas, bread, potatoes and salad are the most common items that are binned.
With food prices rising, it’s a good time to become a “food-waste warrior”. Not only will it save money, but it is good for the environment. After all, growing, packaging and transporting food use a lot of Earth’s resources such as energy and water. ____13____ First, it’s a good idea to find out just how much food goes into your bin. Keep a diary and note down the foods that get chucked out most often—and why. Planning meals for the week with your family can save time and money. For instance, meat from a Sunday roast could go into sandwiches on Monday.
____14____ Weigh out pasta or rice you need before you cook it(there are portion sizes on the packet but they are for adults, so adjust them), and before you pile your plate, check how hungry you are so you don’t end up leaving food because you’re too full.
Your freezer is a good way to save food. Keep a sliced loaf in there; you can put frozen slices straight into the toaster. You can freeze leftovers in a sealed container for another day. ____15____ It’s hard to keep track of food that’s gone to the back of the fridge. You could label a shelf an “Eat me first” spot for anything that has been there for a while.
Finally, use your senses. Some U. K. supermarkets have taken “best before” dates off fruit and vegetables. ____16____ Ask an adult to help. Don’t forget to update your diary to see how much change you can make.
A. Cooking the correct portion size helps too.
B. However, heat defrosted leftovers thoroughly before eating.
C. Fruit that looks bad can be made into a juice for a Friday treat.
D. Potatoes and carrots, however, last a long time if kept in a cool, dark place.
E. Here are some simple tips that can help your family become food-waste warriors.
F. This is done to decide whether something is still fine to eat with your noses and eyes.
G. It may sound unpleasant but in fact it tells you how much food your family throws out.
