The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services” .There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾)from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像)about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化)that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
24. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who __________.
A. is willing to help those in need without pay B. can afford to travel to different places
C. has a strong wish to be successful D. has made a big fortune in life
25.Tracy started her work as a volunteer ____________ .
A. after she met Mother Teresa B. when she was touring Calcutta
C. after she finished high school D. when she was working in a hospital
26. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B. She was asked by Mother Teresa to do so.
C. She had already had some experience. D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
27. What is Tracy’s “new idea”(Paragraph 2)of being a volunteer?
A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Improving oneself through helping others.
C. Working in Mother Teresa’s home. D. Doing simple things to help the poor.
C
Arriving?in?Sydney?on?his?own?from?India, my husband, Rashid, stayed?in?a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can (垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
28. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?
A. Go shopping. B. Find a house. C. Join his family. D. Take a vacation.
29. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.
A. a friend of his family B. a Sydney policeman
C. a letter in his papers D. a stranger in Sydney
30. What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Showed. B. Sent out. C. Delivered. D. Gave back.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. From India to Australia. B. Living in a New Country.
C. Turning Trash to Treasure. D. In Search of New Friends.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly,and the situation was terrible.
Neighbors called the fire department,and then stood helplessly by,unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window,crying for help,just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire site.
Suddenly,a man appeared with a ladder,put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared,he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below,and then disappeared into the night.
An investigation(调查) revealed(显示) that the child had no living relatives,and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her a sheltered upbringing(抚养) on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke,giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them.
Finally,the town’s richest resident rose and said,“I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here,plus money and everything that money can buy.”
Throughout all this,the child remained silent,her eyes on the floor.
“Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the meeting chairman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

2021年春季柳城中学高一年期中考英语答案
小作文范文:
The results are as follows: more than half of the students, about 54%, usually put their math homework in the first place while only 7% would rank Chinese as the most important. Meanwhile, English is regarded as most significant by 18% of the participants, and the other subjects attract the attention of 21% of the students.
There is a profound difference between math and Chinese. Without doubt, some students hold the view that math is most interesting and challenging, and it seems easier for us to have a sense of achievement in it. However, each subject has its unique charm and they are of the same value. Therefore, I think we should take every subject seriously and improve our studies in a balanced way.
71. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的字数应为150词左右。
Paragraph 1:
When he got to the front of the room,he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms. His hands and arms were terribly scarred. The little girl cried out,“This is the man who rescued me!” With a leap,she threw her arms around the man’s neck. She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments. Then she looked up and smiled,stating happily she would live with him.
Paragraph 2:
When asked about her choice,the girl gave people the reasons firmly. She said in a low but determined voice,“I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams. Besides,I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on. But,it’s the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that. Without him,I wouldn’t be here,waiting for a new choice. I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness.”

One day a dog and a blind man got on a bus together. The bus was full of people and there were no seats. One man, however, soon got up and left his seat. The dog took the blind man to the seat, but there was very little space. The dog began to push the people on each side with his nose. He pushed and pushed until the people moved down and finally there was enough space for two people. The blind man then sat down and the dog got up on the seat at the side of the blind man. He lay down and put his head on the leg of the blind man. He was very comfortable and soon fell asleep. Everyone on the bus had to smile at the intelligence of the dog in making space for the blind man and, at the same time, making a place for himself.
