If you would like to volunteer abroad, you’ve come to the right place. Here are a variety of volunteering opportunities, including medical, sports, and wildlife conservation in Africa, which can help gain hands-on international work experience and learn things you’ll never get out of a textbook.
Medical and Healthcare Projects
If you’re a medical student hoping to gain some valuable experience, we have suitable placements for you. We have projects, which can really use the skills of qualified volunteers, such as doctors, nurses, dentists and a whole range of professions. If you are unskilled, but have an interest and would like to assist in this field then you can also help in many project areas.
Sports Coaching Projects
Our sports volunteer projects involve children of different ages and abilities, or sometimes adults as well. Therefore, anyone with sports coaching skills will be put to very good use, trying to bring on the African sports stars of the future. You’ll be able to help organize sporting activities, teach new sports to the children, coach them in their sports sessions and even play football against the local team-don’t expect to win!
Wildlife and Conservation Projects
Wildlife conservation volunteering in Africa can be hard work at times as you have to deal with the human-wildlife conflicts and ensure local communities benefit from conservation. However, there are some major positives, generally based in some of the most amazing natural areas. They get you behind the scenes of places that tourists will often pay large amounts of money to visit on holiday. If you have relevant conservation experience or qualifications, or as part of your studies, then please get in touch.

During World War II, Duchess Nina Douglas-Hamilton played a vital role in looking after animals.
As the war broke out, the government issued orders for the mass killing livestock (家畜) to prevent them from being captured or destroyed by the enemy. Duchess Nina launched a campaign to save as many animals as possible, and soon became known as the “animal heroine” for her efforts.
Duchess Nina worked with local farmers and animal owners to relocate animals to safer areas, such as the Scottish Highlands. She also established a network of volunteers who helped to care for animals during the war. She organized feeding programs, medical care and transportation, ensuring that animals were well looked after even during the most difficult times. The most challenging aspect of her work was the shortage of food during the war. So she established a vegetable garden and used leftovers to create nutritious meals for animals. She also reached out to the public for donations of food and supplies, and was able to secure enough resources to keep animals healthy and fed.
In addition to her work with domestic animals, Duchess Nina was also a strong advocate for wildlife conservation. She established a center for wild animals in Scotland, where she provided a safe place for deer, foxes and other animals that were threatened by the war. She also worked with local protection groups to protect natural habitats.
Duchess Nina’s work during World War II was not without its risks. She frequently risked her life to save animals, often driving through perilous areas.
Sadly, some people saw her efforts as a distraction from the war effort. However, she continued to work tirelessly for animals. After the war, Duchess Nina’s work was recognized by the government and she got an important award for her services to animals.
How did Duchess Nina probably feel when she heard the government’s orders
A．Calm. B．Worried. C．Excited. D．Encouraged.
25．What was the biggest problem that Duchess Nina faced
A．Nobody gave her any donations.
B．She couldn’t find enough volunteers.
C．The animals didn’t have enough food to eat.
D．Local farmers didn’t give her enough support.
26．Why did Duchess Nina start the center in Scotland
A．To keep domestic animals there.
B．To attract local protection groups.
C．To provide a home for wild animals.
D．To offer a safe place to animal owners.
27．What does the underlined word “perilous” in Para.5 mean
A．Dangerous. B．Urban. C．Faraway. D．Poor.
C
Sometimes we only appreciate something when we realize we may lose it. That is the story of the Everglades. A shallow slow-moving river, the Everglades once covered about 18,000 square miles of southern Florida. Until the 1900s, few people lived in the grassy wetlands. Not much was understood about the unique balance of nature that existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had formed a remarkable ecosystem.
By the early 1900s, Florida’s pleasant winters attracted more people. Visitors became new permanent residents. They built homes and roads. The conditions looked good for farming, so the newcomers planted large agricultural crops. But South Florida’s cycle of flooding was a problem. To address that, developers attempted to drain(排水) the land. They also built structures to control water levels and flow.
Those changes made it easier for more people to live year-round in South Florida. However, they also disturbed life in the Everglades, which depends on freshwater regularly refilling the land. The area’s growing human population needed freshwater. And large farms consumed large quantities of freshwater. By the mid-1900s, water levels in southern Florida began to go down. Lack of freshwater wasn’t the only problem. As more and more land was developed for people and farms, the Everglades’ historic boundaries contracted. Loss of habitat and hunting threatened the survival of native species in the Everglades.
Some people hoped that the government’s recognition might save the Everglades. They fought for it. Everglades National Park was established in 1947. It became the first park in the United States created for its biodiversity.
Now, Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres along the southern tip of Florida. An amazing variety of creatures live there. About 360 different species of birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species of fish have been identified. About 40 species of mammals and 50 species of reptiles inhabit the park. Nature still rules in the Everglades, a place worth understanding, appreciating, and protecting.
28. What was the Everglades like before the 1900s
A. Naturally wild. B. Partly explored.
C. Completely lifeless. D. Thickly populated.
29. What problem did new residents cause for the Everglades
A. Possible extinction of native species.
B. Pollution of freshwater.
C. A cycle of flooding.
D. The extension of historic boundaries.
30. Why are the figures mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To attract visitors to the park.
B. To stress the great power of nature.
C. To call for more efforts to protect nature.
D. To show the successful conservation of the park.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. How people adapted to life in the Everglades.
B. How humans harmed and saved the Everglades.
C. How Everglades National Park was established.
D. How the ecosystem of the Everglades was formed.
D
When you look through Facebook, you can see posts about simple stretches to make the back pain less, how to make apple pie, and how to be single and happy. Or if you go on Youtube, you can find fashion experts talking about makeup tips, or Youtubers teaching playing the guitar. But those stretching exercises, the way to make apple pie, how to be happy being single, how to make up, and how to play the guitar better are things that most people never master doing at the end.
Technology has brought a surplus (过剩) of information to the world, but it hasn’t made people smarter. On average, people spend 50 minutes per day on Facebook alone. Being exposed to this surplus information is not the same as internalizing (内在化) the information really, so it doesn’t make people better at thinking, understanding and learning.
Today, the quality of the knowledge is sacrificed for quantity. There’s disequilibrium between the information we access and the information that we use. The chase (追求) for more information is exciting too. The desire to keep up sends most people looking through Facebook on a frequent basis. People are troubled by the fear of missing out. Most are up to date on impressive stories, and are sharing like mad on Facebook and WhatsApp, but convenient access to knowledge is no replacement for deep learning through effort and concentration. Only very little of the easily-accessed information have people really applied in their lives.
While it’d be perfect to absorb and apply 100% of the information, it’s not quite possible. If you want to hang onto information for a long time, you’ll need to be selective about what you choose to absorb.
Get a brain filter (过滤器). Looking through the Internet is a passive form of knowledge acquisition (知识的获得). The amount of information that you can access is always going to be more than you can process. To focus on the information you take in, remove the information that doesn’t make you become better than before. What must you learn to be successful Taking this simple step enables you to pass over unrelated information.
Knowledge isn’t useful until you can apply it. If you are trying to learn a new skill, you’ll have to do the things that you’ve read about in your research. Until you’ve made many attempts to master the ski-trick you saw on Youtube, you haven’t internalized it. When you can land the trick without thinking or recall information without struggling, it is yours. True learning is not always easy. You’ll experience struggles as you deal with new challenges and go through the Digital Age.
32．Why doesn’t exposure to the surplus information make people smarter
A．Because people take in some useless information.
B．Because people don’t master the information truly.
C．Because people ignore the real value of information.
D．Because people have no ability to select useful information.
33．What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Para.3 mean
A．Division. B．Link. C．Comparison. D．Imbalance.
34．What do you know about the brain filter
A．It will help you update the information.
B．Its purpose is to filter out information that won’t improve you.
C．It will make the brain absorb more information.
D．It can bring some unrelated information to the brain.
35．What does the example of skiing in Para.6 suggest
A．Information should be taken into the real world and be applied.
B．Knowledge is only meant to be known, not be applied.
C．Information absorption differs from practical application.
D．Most people have never learned how to learn properly.
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。
Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox (脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. 36 Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life:
Determine your problem times
Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. 37 Identify your top two or three problem situations.
38
Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward, ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving In other words, what are you actually hungry for You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want.
Try a substitute
39 It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. 40 And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens.
A．Identify your true desire.
B．Determine your pain points.
C．Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied.
D．But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance.
E．Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping.
F．Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time.
G．If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step.

My phone was an extension of myself. I couldn’t go anywhere 41 it. I scrolled through my friends’ 42 into late night and turned my phone on before my eyes were fully open.

When I was watching TV shows or movies and there was a boring part, I 46 picking up the phone and checking out “what everyone else was doing”.

It is universally recognized that we human beings could never live without wildlife, for it plays a vital role in sustaining the balance of nature. Protecting it is truly equal to protecting ourselves.
With the arrival of Endangered Species Day, our school plans to exhibit some relevant posters around the school to jog our memory of the current status of wildlife and hand out some brochures in the neighborhood.
From my perspective, we can also invite several experts to give us lectures, which can assist us in attaining a better understanding of wildlife and its situations.
