Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time You can do all three with the Global Development Association (GDA).
Whatever stage of life you’ re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in poor and remote communities.
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programs. We have such roles as project managers and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, but you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programs:

Douyin influencer Chen Jifang, aged 70, has significantly received 3 million likes for her exercise video clips.
For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor and she even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy (孕期). In 2018, following a physical examination, Chen was diagnosed (诊断) with a series of issues. The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse. Therefore, an overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to improve her size and her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29, 2018. Then she hit the gym every day in 2019.
While most people would be concerned about having an elderly family member participate in such hard physical exercise in the gym, it doesn’t bother Chen. Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear.
Chen may be a star in her own right, but she is also just one of many senior citizens in China’s major cities who are accepting exercise enthusiastically. According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day. The report also notes that the traditional means for the elderly to stay fit, such as square dancing and tai chi, have been unable to meet the new needs of the fitness-addicted elderly population.
24．Why did Chen begin to exercise
A．To better her health conditions.
B．To lose weight after the diagnosis.
C．To gain popularity on social media.
D．To make new friends in the gym.
25．What helps Chen stick to her exercise
A．Suggestions from the coach.
B．Concerns about being old.
C．Eagerness to impress people.
D．Encouragement from her family.
26．What does the 2019 Cheetah Mobile report suggest about the elderly
A．They prefer traditional exercises.
B．They are less interested in fitness.
C．They are addicted to daily exercise.
D．They are changing their fitness habits.
27．What is the writing purpose of the passage
A．To introduce Chen’s road to fitness.
B．To discuss fitness habits of the elderly.
C．To promote an elderly fitness program.
D．To explain why Chen uses Douyin for fitness.
For various purposes such as environment protection, pest management, and economic gains, humans often relocate animals and plants to new regions. However, when these non-native species (物种) break into their new environment, they become known as invasive (入侵) species, which in some cases may dramatically change the natural landscape.
Native species are part of an ecosystem through natural processes. Non-native or introduced species, on the other hand, are found outside their normal range due to human activity. While not all introduced species become invasive, those that do, negatively impact their new environment and other life forms. Often developing quickly due to the absence of natural enemies, these invasive species can outcompete and displace native plants and wildlife. As a result, they damage ecosystems by changing habitats, competing for resources, and introducing new diseases and is a possible risk to biodiversity (生物多样性).
Human activities are the primary cause of invasive species spread, both intentionally and accidentally. Climate change may exacerbate the problem, allowing more species to spread further. Understanding new species’ behavior is important, followed by control measures if they become invasive. Stephanie Holt, a UK Biodiversity Training Manager at the Natural History Museum, says that climate change is likely to result in animals and plants moving around the world, but that it’s not always going to be a bad thing. “Species heading into the UK as a result of climate change need to be monitored in case they do become harmfully invasive — but not all of them will.” she says, “If we’re thinking about global species protection goals, not all species movement is a bad thing, as species adapt and change.”
As climates change, adaptive protection approaches are necessary to ensure biodiversity in the movement of species. Governments must play a role, and public awareness is also important in managing the spread of invasive species, as informed communities can contribute to early and quick action.
28．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．The benefits of introducing new species.
B．The role of native species in ecosystems.
C．The problematic nature of invasive species.
D．The effects of human activities on the environment.
29．What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Shape. B．Put an end to.
C．Worsen. D．Bring back.
30．What does Stephanie think of species movement
A．It is hard to control.
B．It is not always negative.
C．It is driven by climate change.
D．It weakens the species’ adaptability.
31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Global Impact of Invasive Species
B．Invasive Species: Challenges and Solutions
C．The Role of Human Activity in Ecosystems
D．Invasive Species: A Global Economic Benefit
The convenience of modern life brought by technology is nothing short of amazing. I could use my phone to, within moments, get a car to pick me up, or have food delivered to my house. The fact that, as a culture, we seek out and celebrate such short cuts is understandable. They take much of the boredom out of life and save our time and energy.
It is important, however, to understand why convenience is so attractive in the first place. Here, the idea of evolutionary (进化) mismatch, developed for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, comes into play. For hunter-gatherers, food, and therefore energy, was in short supply. Survival depended on not wasting energy irresponsibly. This evolutionary need to save energy has, over time, influenced our desire to bend technology and our environment to make life easier.
Yet, most people can sense that convenience has a darker side. Continually choosing the convenient path lessens the ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties. And, from an evolutionary
view some measure of discomfort is just as important to our survival as rest and relaxation. Modern convenience has made it easier to get by, but in many ways, harder to truly succeed.
Preferably, today’s conveniences serve as the support systems that help us move towards our goals — exercising for better health, building a career, or raising a family. Meeting these goals always involves some kind of inconvenience, but it is this difficulty itself that shapes and develops our character.
In the modern technological world, we must sometimes make a sensible effort to act in opposition to our inborn needs. As a culture, we must remember — and remind our young people — that while convenience feels good in the moment, our ability to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary heritage (遗产) too, and central to the adventure of life.
32．What does the author want to say in paragraph 1
A．We spend a lot of time on phones.
B．Modern convenience has hidden risks.
C．Technology makes our life easier.
D．Functions of phones need improving.
33．What makes convenience attractive to us
A．Our inborn need to save energy.
B．The development of technology.
C．Our dependence on food and energy.
D．The mismatch between life and technology.
34．How does modern convenience affect our ability to succeed
A．It makes our life easier by removing difficulties.
B．It provides us with tools to overcome challenges.
C．It prevents us from facing necessary discomfort.
D．It helps us by reducing the need for relaxation.
35．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A．Adapting to the modem life.
B．Following our inborn needs.
C．Rising to challenges.
D．Seeking for conveniences.
Rejection therapy (拒绝疗法) encourages people to ask strangers odd requests that will most likely get a “no” in response. 36 It could be a good exercise for someone with lower levels of anxiety looking to feel a little more comfortable with rejection. But if you want to ensure you get the benefits without causing trouble to yourself or someone else, there are some rules you should follow.
●Start small.
One common mistake is exposing (使...接触) yourself to super difficult tasks at the very beginning, which can be so stressful. 37 For example, you can try asking a stranger at the supermarket for a breath refreshener. If it feels doable, you can work your way up to something more challenging.
● 38
After you are rejected, your mind may race with regretful thoughts like, “God, everyone’s going to think I’m a fool!” To avoid yourself falling into this anxious state, you should take a few minutes to think deeply about what just happened. For example, you could write in a journal, “That was so embarrassing, but at least it’s over.”
●Know when to quit.
39 Or these silly little challenges just feel unproductive. If it’s not your thing for whatever reason, just find a different type of support that may be beneficial to you. This could include finding a therapist who is expert at treating social anxiety.
If you do want to see what rejection therapy is all about, though, try to stay realistic. No, your social anxiety won’t magically disappear because of such a challenge. 40 During the process, you can get to know yourself more and get prepared for the future life better.
A．Respect others’ thoughts.
B．Take & moment to self-reflect.
C．It is necessary to calm down after facing your fear.
D．So the therapy beginners should start with manageable moves.
E．Maybe experimenting with it is actually making you even more anxious.
F．But a few weeks of pushing your limits may increase your self-confidence.
G．The idea behind it is learning to be brave by repeatedly jumping into a hard situation.

A new study shows that polar bears are struggling to find enough food on the decreasing (减少) Arctic ice.
56 (record) their feeding behavior, researchers fitted nine polar bears in the Arctic with the GPS-camera collars (项圈). They also measured the bears’ energy use. The results showed that most of the animals had difficulty 57 (get) enough food to meet their energy needs.
“We found that polar bears actually have much higher energy demands than predicted. They need to catch more seals,” said Anthony Pagano, a US wildlife biologist 58 (lead) the study. “The Arctic sea-ice is decreasing 59 a rate of about 14% every ten years as 60 result of global warming, 61 is likely to reduce polar bears’ access (接近) to seals. In the past centuries, polar bears 62 (hunt) seals on sea ice, but when the ice is gone, they now need to travel 63 (far) and consume more energy than before to find seals.”
“Ice loss will eventually cause polar bears to die out in the wild unless stronger methods 64 (take). Since it is human activities on the earth that result in global warming, we 65 (probable) need to take action at once.” Pagano added.

18．C 19．B 20．A
【原文】M: Back in 2000, I had just finished my first year at music college when I applied to take a year off from college. I wanted to experience new cultures, so I bought a one-way ticket to Paris. At that point, I spoke no French, or any other foreign languages. I spent six months overall in Paris, working at night in a youth hotel. I started to learn and improve my French quickly, mostly because I had to. I was dealing with customers every day after all. During the long nights at the hotel I met travelers from all over the world and knew then and there that I wanted to be able to communicate with people in their own language. The following year I went back to college in London. I started hanging around and playing music with a lot of Spanish people who were always fun. I couldn’t speak much Spanish, but I was up for learning. After learning French, it wasn’t all that hard to learn Spanish. I became close friends with one guy in particular and in the next two years, I spoke more Spanish than English from day to day. And a few years later, I also learned Portuguese.

76．Dear Jim,
To broaden our horizon and raise the labor awareness, our school will launch an activity, whose theme is “One-day farm experience”. I am writing to invite you to participate in this event.
We will meet at the school gate at 8:00 AM and take a bus to the farm. Once we arrive, we will visit the fields, learn how to plant vegetables, and feed the animals. After our activities, we’ll enjoy a picnic together. It will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect with nature and learn about the importance of farming.
Give me a reply at your earliest convenience. I sincerely hope you can join us!
Yours sincerely,
