21、How to Volunteer Abroad and Actually Help People
Fear of “voluntourism” shouldn’t stop you from doing something great. We’ve all heard it. Those “voluntourists” going to Africa think they’re helping, but they’re actually going for a holiday, wasting money, and strengthening dangerous stereotypes (刻板印象). I am, though, against the idea that we shouldn’t volunteer abroad at all. How would the world be a better place without people devoting their time and resources to help others who need it?
I chose my organization well. As a student, there are so many options for volunteering abroad. I travelled with Cambridge Development Initiative, a student-run project that works on sustainable development projects in Tanzania. There were four branches and I was on the business team. We were trained on the dangers of voluntourism and on best volunteer practices. We learned about the culture and even learned some basic Swahili, the local language, before travelling. When we were in Tanzania, we stayed in the same accommodation alongside our Tanzanian team members, ate the same food, and spent our free time in the same places.
When I told my friend I was travelling to Tanzania to volunteer for the summer, he said, “Oh, you’re going to have one of those summers where you go away for a couple of months and it totally changes your profile (头像) picture.”
I didn’t change my profile picture, but I did help 23 young people start their own companies. They brainstormed ideas, surveyed target communities, improved their designs, came up with business plans, and collected seed capital for their startups. They came up with creative ideas, such as a “mini-grid” (微型电网) providing electricity to an off-grid village and a plastic-waste recycling company.
Before I went to Tanzania, I was “this close” to taking an internship in a company instead because I worried I would be contributing to the negative practice of voluntourism. Here’s how I made sure that didn’t happen, and why I think the benefits of volunteering abroad far outweigh the benefits of taking some questionable moral high reasons back home.
【1】What is voluntourism?
A．A study in a developing country.
B．A trip to a developing country to help out.
C．A cultural exchange in a developing country.
D．A traveling to a developing country to help out, but doing more harm.
【2】How did the writer ensure not contributing to the negative side of voluntourism?
A．By not trusting any organization.
B．By learning about the local culture and language.
C．By providing electricity to an off-grid village.
D．By making trade with the team members.
【3】Which one was NOT done by the writer?
A．The writer came up with ideas to solve off-grid problems.
B．The writer helped establish young people’s own start-ups.
C．The writer gave up a corporate internship.
D．The writer went to Tanzania as a volunteer.
【4】What did the writer’s friend imply?
A．The writer would have a moral high experience worth showing off.
B．The writer was able to change the profile picture after the trip.
C．The writer should help the locals as much as possible.
D．The writer should volunteer because it would be life-changing.
22、In 2014, Mahoney was asked to choose a person who regularly gave back to the Halifax community (社区) to-perform an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. Mahoney chose a 79-year-old senior named Eleanor, who not only gave goods for the people at the pub where Mahoney worked but also volunteered at the local homeless shelter.
Mahoney wanted to get to know Eleanor better, so she asked that they spent a day together—picking up fruits, getting their nails done, that kind of thing. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old. “That focus made her shine.”
Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention? And had some of those seniors delayed their dreams because they’d been busy caring for others? Chisholm, now 31, was equally interested in these questions, and together the pair set up their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short.
WAY has since delivered on 38 dreams and counting—from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking place to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. These dreams are to work out problems caused by the health and loneliness of seniors. 78-year-old Victor wanted to go to the beach—a dream he’d given up when it became too physically difficult to reach the sea. The team at WAY offered a boat for him and his son in the fall of 2021 so they could reach the sea and spend the day enjoying themselves on the beach.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion (激情) can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mahoney. “Now, Victor has got some of his self-confidence again—and his sense of humour. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.” “We want to create a movement that changes our whole society’s opinion and support for seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the influence we’re trying to create.”
【1】How did Eleanor feel after spending a day with Mahoney?
A．She was in shock.
B．She was nervous.
C．She was confused.
D．She was in high spirits.
【2】Why did Mahoney and Chisholm set up WAY?
A．To help seniors get better care.
B．To make themselves become younger.
C．To help seniors realize their delayed dreams.
D．To realize the delayed dreams of their childhood.
【3】What might Victor think of WAY after the trip?
A．It was a home for him.
B．It would be well received.
C．It’s much better than before.
D．It might be owned by his son.
【4】What can we know from Mahoney’s words?
A．Seniors need more care.
B．Self-confidence changes a person.
C．Seniors have a passion for their life.
D．The young will create a good influence.
23、B
Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic，it seems．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times．the all-singing．all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．
Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out
of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．
Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said：“The ability to access literally millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has
made smartphones valuable for many people．However，there aredrawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become。The more is expected of us in a work capacity．”
【1】The text is probably taken from ．
A. a scientific report
B. a financial report
C. a newspaper
D. a literary journal
【2】The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means ．
A. advantages B. faults
C. mistakes D. features
【3】Ghadi may agree that ．
A. employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day
B. the ability to access many apps made smartphones worthless
C. smartphones might turn a person into a workaholic
D. people literally cannot get away from work without smartphones
【4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Smartphones are lengthening working hours．
B. Smartphones are becoming valuable for many people．
C. Britons work art additional 460 hours a year on average．
D. Smartphones are more beneficial to our life than we think．
24、Dust storms don’t just happen in the middle of the desert.They happen in any dry area where loose dirt can easily be picked up.The sand blown into the air by the wind usually falls back down to the ground after a few hours.Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.Dust from the Sahara desert is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps travelling as far as the Caribbean.
The scary thing about dust storms is that they can spread over hundreds of miles and rise over 10，000 feet (305 metres).They also have wind speeds of at least 25 miles (40 kilometres) per hour.Not strong enough to blow the feathers off a chicken but still something worth avoiding.
Don’t be surprised if you suddenly see a dust storm heading your way.Dust storms usually arrive without warning and move in the form of a big wall of dust.The dust makes driving impossible.Often they only last for a few minutes but storms usually leave serious car accidents behind.If you’re in a car during a dust storm, remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights.
In mild (轻微的) dust storms it’s still possible to walk around although you wouldn’t want to.You can’t see anything because of the dust particles flying around.It’s not just the dust you want to avoid.The wind carrying the dust will leave things looking like they were just hit by a tornado (龙卷风).The best thing to do is find safe cover in a building.
【1】We can know from the first paragraph that .
A．dust storms mostly happen in the desert
B．dust storms usually last for a few hours
C．sand blown into the air can float for a few weeks
D．dust blown into the air can travel a long distance

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Carter enjoyed riding the school bus home. The ride home gave him some time to relax after a busy day of fifth grade. He usually sat alone and enjoyed that too. With four siblings（兄妹）he didn’t get much time alone. Sometimes he sat with his younger brother, Jackson, but Jackson was sick at home today.
The bus stopped and the tallest boy in his class, Dexter, stepped off followed by his younger brother, Billy. As the bus pulled away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys. Dexter was yelling and waving his hands at his little brother. Billy said something Carter could not hear. Dexter yelled, gave his younger brother a hard shove and knocked him to the ground. Billy was on the ground wiping at his eyes, but Dexter walked away.
Carter turned in his seat, feeling disgusted. He hated seeing little kids get picked on (欺负). The sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to think of something else.
He thought of the model car he was working on at home, a 1967 Corvette. He started building it over a week ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could start painting the car. That was his favorite part. He already had the perfect color of blue picked out.
He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard, and breezed through the kitchen with a quick hello to his mom. She was making spaghetti, which smelled delicious. He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed into his room.
“Surprise!” his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air. “What are you doing in my room? I thought you were sick!”
“I feel better!”
“What’s on your face? Are you bleeding?”
“No! I’m not bleeding.” Jackson wiped at his face. “It’s probably just paint. Look! Look what I did!” He pointed at the desk in the corner of Carter’ s room.
