Volunteering is a great way for teenagers to make a difference and meet new people. There are many different types of volunteer opportunities for teens available. Here are a few volunteer opportunities that you could encourage your teen to take up.
Help at a local food bank
Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repackage donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes.
Help at a soup kitchen
A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run primarily on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and utensils (用具), help distribute food, cook food and more.
Volunteer for Meals on Wheels
By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love to get behind the wheel for any reason! They can make a massive impact in a short amount of time. Alternatively, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives.
Work with Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing fund-raising, painting, and building. You can sign them up for long-term projects or one-time program.

I’m bad at it.” It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called “Kits Cubed” with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.
“I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it” Muhammad said.
After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. “Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids,” Muhammad said.
That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible,” Muhammad said.

C
Britain has a stubborn enemy called the “devil plant”, the Japanese knotweed (虎杖). The name originated in Japan, but it became a promoter behind a plant disaster in Britain. Initially it was introduced to England as a landscape plant. However, over time it has evolved into a harsh plant difficult to control.
The plant is disreputable (坏名声的) mainly because of its strong ability to survive. The Japanese knotweed can grow at an amazing speed. What’s more, Japan’s knotweed is penetrating. As long as you give it a small gap, it can follow it and make rapid growth. This gap may be a crack in the road, or a wall crack in the house, and even some Japanese knotweed will start to grow from the foundation of the house, gradually “destroy” the whole house. Such an invasion (入侵) is a nightmare for the British. The British simply love and hate the plant, but so far, they are still unable to find an effective way to remove it.
Fortunately, China’s knotweed is not identical to Japan’s, and in the China’s ecosystem, there are many natural enemies against it. As a result, China has not experienced a knotweed invasion as severe as Britain. Additionally, its tender stem can be made into delicious food. The root of knotweed is a very good Chinese medicine. Therefore, in some places there’s also a need to plant knotweed, to obtain economic benefits.
This case gives us a profound inspiration that it is important to be careful when introducing alien species and to fully understand the characteristics of plants or animals and the effects they may cause in a new environment, otherwise it may be easy to spend a huge amount of money every year to clean up the Japanese knotweed, as in the UK.
28. Why did Britain bring in Japanese knotweed at first
A. To make profits. B. For decoration.
C. For scientific research. D. To promote biodiversity.
29. What does the underlined word “penetrating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Fading away. B. Dying out.
C. Multiplying rapidly. D. Growing steadily.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. China’s ecosystem is not damaged by knotweed.
B. Knotweed is in great demand in the whole China.
C. Knotweed has made most of the Chinese people rich.
D. Chinese medicine includes knotweed’s stems and roots.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Natural Phenomenon We Know
B. A Plant That People Love and Hate
C. Alien Species’ Effect on the Local Economy
D. The Fight Against Invasive Plants and Animals
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最初被作为景观植物引入英国的日本虎杖在英国造成了植物灾难，入侵了本土的生态系统，无法被有效地清除，对比之下，中国的生态系统中有这种植物的天敌，因此它没有在中国造成灾难，而且还可以被制作成美食以及入药，文章以此提醒在引进外来物种时需小心谨慎。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Initially it was introduced to England as a landscape plant. (最初，它是作为一种景观植物引入英国的)”可知，英国一开始引进日本虎杖是为了美化景观，即出于装饰的目的。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“The plant is disreputable (坏名声的) mainly because of its strong ability to survive. The Japanese knotweed can grow at an amazing speed. (这种植物之所以声名狼藉，主要是因为它的生存能力很强。日本虎杖的生长速度惊人)”和下文“As long as you give it a small gap, it can follow it and make rapid growth. This gap may be a crack in the road, or a wall crack in the house, and even some Japanese knotweed will start to grow from the foundation of the house, gradually “destroy” the whole house. (只要你给它一个小小的空隙，它就能跟着它，做出快速的成长。这个缝隙可能是道路上的裂缝，也可能是房子墙上的裂缝，甚至一些日本虎杖会从房子的地基上开始生长，逐渐“摧毁”整个房子)”可知，此处介绍了日本虎杖强大的生存能力，它的生长速度很快，且能在很小的空间内快速生长。由此可知，这种植物渗透进了英国，正迅速地增加，划线词意思应该是“迅速增加”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Fortunately, China’s knotweed is not identical to Japan’s, and in the China’s ecosystem, there are many natural enemies against it. As a result, China has not experienced a knotweed invasion as severe as Britain. (幸运的是，中国的虎杖和日本的不一样，在中国的生态系统中，有很多天敌。因此，中国没有经历过像英国那样严重的虎杖入侵)”可知，中国的生态系统中有虎杖的天敌，因此抑制了虎杖的入侵。由此推知，中国的生态系统没有被虎杖破坏。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕引入日本虎杖这一植物展开，第一、二段介绍了最初被作为景观植物引入英国的这种植物在英国造成了植物灾难，入侵了本土的生态系统，无法被有效地清除，第三段介绍了中国的生态系统中有这种植物的天敌，因此它没有在中国造成灾难，而且还可以被制作成美食以及入药，最后一段基于此案例提醒在引进外来物种时需小心谨慎。由此可知，B项“一种人们又爱又恨的植物”契合文章主旨，最适合作为标题。故选B项。
D
The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A. Warned. B. Punished. C. Amused. D. Touched.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。低物欲、低消费、拒绝工作、拒绝结婚、拒绝生孩子的“躺平”生活方式，最近引起了许多年轻人的共鸣，他们渴望在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中停下来喘口气。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children(低物质欲望，低消费，拒绝工作，结婚和生育的观念)…”对这种生活方式和“…many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society(在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中，渴望停下来喘口气的许多年轻人)”年轻一代的生存状态的描述，可知，年轻人对这种观念是认同并受其影响的，划线词意为“触动，影响”。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many millennials and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”.(许多千禧一代和Z一代向《环球时报》抱怨说，包括工作压力、家庭琐事和经济压力在内的负担把他们逼到了“绝境”)”可知，来自家庭和社会生活的压力越来越大导致了年轻人“躺平”的生活方式。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”(一位学者说：“他们不总是遵循斗争、忍耐和牺牲的‘美德’来承受压力，而是喜欢暂时躺下，作为宣泄和调整。难怪一些年轻人在今天从抚养孩子到支付抵押贷款的压力下，会试图以一种简单的方式生活，并把担忧抛在脑后。”)”可推知，学者对“躺平”群体的态度是理解。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale far beyond their reach.(但事实上，躺平并不完全舒服。躺平的年轻人总是为自己的士气不断丧失而感到内疚)”以及最后一段““Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”(一名研究生在接受《环球时报》采访时表示：“校园里的年轻人对未来既有抱负，也有困惑，但我们大多数人都不愿把自己束缚起来，浪费机会和挑战。逃跑是没有用的。我迟早要‘站起来’面对现实。”)”可推知，年轻一代从未真正放下自己的责任。故选A。

【38题详解】
设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Limiting yourself to only one type of people that share the same beliefs as you can be comforting but it doesn’t get you anywhere in life.

Excitement and danger always coexist. Even Rogers had just taken a turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long brown hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in pain.
Sydney Linden, 28, bad been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, when she jumped over a rock and her leg overextended on the landing. The pain was instant. Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had tom her ACL (韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15out of 10.
Linden dragged herself to the shade, “like an animal preparing to die,” she says. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.
Rogers was trying to play it cool. “I didn’t want to be strange,” he says, “so I was just going to casually ride by — at a slower speed.” But Rogers, 33, an active-duty airman, sensed her sufferings and asked if be could help. Linden explained her dilemma. That’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital — now.
Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was burning. She’d never make it to the trailhead (登山扣) this way. Rogers had another idea. Ho abandoned his bike on the side of the trail and, after a brief discussion, lifted her over his shoulder. Then they began their way over the rocky area and bushes. Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down wildly.
Misfortune never came alone.

Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Misfortune never came alone. As they headed for the parking lot, Rogers wanted to distract Linden from the pain by chatting with her. Unfortunately, he tripped over a stone and they both fell to the ground. Painful though he was, Rogers dropped to his knees, checked Linden’s condition and lifted her over his shoulder again. Exhausted but determined, Rogers tightly carried Linden on his back, moving forward carefully. Eventually, after an hour’s struggle in the bushes, they finally made it to the parking lot, where Linden’s friend was waiting anxiously with the car. Rogers carefully loaded Linden into the front seat and she was rushed to the hospital.
Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information. She spared every effort to search for him but couldn’t find anything relevant. Linden contacted the local newspaper, which published her story the day after the surgery with the headline “Runner Looking for Trail Hero.” Luckily, that same day, the journalist emailed Linden, telling her Rogers had read the article and wanted to get in touch. A week later, Rogers and Linden finally met again. In tears, Linden thanked him for everything he’d done, excited beyond words. From that day on, the pair became good friends, discussing life goals and future plans from time to time. It was kindness and a grateful heart that made a real difference.(212 words)

Muhammad is an 18-year-old senior from California. who attends Oakland Tech High school. One day he asked his niece and nephew if they wanted to do science, and he was upset by their reaction.
“Whenever I babysit them, we do things like playing chess, playing video games, or watching TV or whatever. When I tried to do science with them, they were like, No, I hate science. I’m bad at it.” It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called “Kits Cubed” with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.
“I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it” Muhammad said.
After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. “Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids,” Muhammad said.
That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible,” Muhammad said.
Muhammad, who has been accepted to Stanford University, is just thrilled he was able to help change his niece and his nephew’s opinion of science while inspiring others as well.
24. What is the main pursuit of Kits Cubed

Britain has a stubborn enemy called the “devil plant”, the Japanese knotweed (虎杖). The name originated in Japan, but it became a promoter behind a plant disaster in Britain. Initially it was introduced to England as a landscape plant. However, over time it has evolved into a harsh plant difficult to control.
The plant is disreputable (坏名声的) mainly because of its strong ability to survive. The Japanese knotweed can grow at an amazing speed. What’s more, Japan’s knotweed is penetrating. As long as you give it a small gap, it can follow it and make rapid growth. This gap may be a crack in the road, or a wall crack in the house, and even some Japanese knotweed will start to grow from the foundation of the house, gradually “destroy” the whole house. Such an invasion (入侵) is a nightmare for the British. The British simply love and hate the plant, but so far, they are still unable to find an effective way to remove it.
Fortunately, China’s knotweed is not identical to Japan’s, and in the China’s ecosystem, there are many natural enemies against it. As a result, China has not experienced a knotweed invasion as severe as Britain. Additionally, its tender stem can be made into delicious food. The root of knotweed is a very good Chinese medicine. Therefore, in some places there’s also a need to plant knotweed, to obtain economic benefits.
This case gives us a profound inspiration that it is important to be careful when introducing alien species and to fully understand the characteristics of plants or animals and the effects they may cause in a new environment, otherwise it may be easy to spend a huge amount of money every year to clean up the Japanese knotweed, as in the UK.
28. Why did Britain bring in Japanese knotweed at first
A. To make profits. B. For decoration.
C. For scientific research. D. To promote biodiversity.
29. What does the underlined word “penetrating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Fading away. B. Dying out.
C. Multiplying rapidly. D. Growing steadily.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. China’s ecosystem is not damaged by knotweed.
B. Knotweed is in great demand in the whole China.
C. Knotweed has made most of the Chinese people rich.
D. Chinese medicine includes knotweed’s stems and roots.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Natural Phenomenon We Know
B. A Plant That People Love and Hate
C. Alien Species’ Effect on the Local Economy
D. The Fight Against Invasive Plants and Animals
D
The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A Warned. B. Punished. C. Amused. D. Touched.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.

Excitement and danger always coexist. Even Rogers had just taken a turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long brown hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in pain.
Sydney Linden, 28, bad been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, when she jumped over a rock and her leg overextended on the landing. The pain was instant. Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had tom her ACL (韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15out of 10.
Linden dragged herself to the shade, “like an animal preparing to die,” she says. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.
Rogers was trying to play it cool. “I didn’t want to be strange,” he says, “so I was just going to casually ride by — at a slower speed.” But Rogers, 33, an active-duty airman, sensed her sufferings and asked if be could help. Linden explained her dilemma. That’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital — now.
Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was burning. She’d never make it to the trailhead (登山扣) this way. Rogers had another idea. Ho abandoned his bike on the side of the trail and, after a brief discussion, lifted her over his shoulder. Then they began their way over the rocky area and bushes. Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down wildly.
Misfortune never came alone.

Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information.
