Sometimes people want to become a volunteer in a specific type of work．【3】 The best route may be to contact these facilities and find out what available volunteer programs they have．Some programs may require job applications and training，and this training isn’t always free．Looking around at a few programs can help people find the ones that don’t charge for training．
【4】 Schools may additionally have volunteer job listings that can help people become a volunteer．Sometimes listings for jobs are exclusive(独有的) to the school and people may find work as tutors or administrative assistants．

23、California has been facing droughts for many years, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem is growing as the population of the state continues to expand. New research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted (抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers (地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.
It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas, but only recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is pressed by the weight of the earth above.
Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in the largely coastal state. Some desalination plants exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.
One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some water may even need to be desalinated after extraction, thus increasing the cost. Research from the study of groundwater has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.
【1】According to the text, what causes the water crisis in California?
A．Previous drilling of wells.
B．The messy distribution system.
C．Constant droughts in the area.
D．The adoption of new pumping practices.
【2】The research teams think it ________ to extract water from deeper aquifers.
A．expensive but practical
B．reliable and profitable
C．cost-free but demanding
D．cheap and environment-friendly
【3】What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?
A．The damage to aquifers.
B．The sinking of land surface.
C．The decrease in operation costs.
D．The negative effects on the climate.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To encourage people to save water.
B．To promote the seawater desalination.
C．To introduce a new way of extracting freshwater.
D．To draw people’s attention to the droughts in California.
24、 In an effort to create more environmentally friendly vacations, Norwegian cruise operator (挪威邮轮公司) Hurtigruten is making a plan to power its ships using dead fish. This doesn’t mean that Norwegian cruise liners will be doubling as fishing ships; the dead fish will come from Norway’s good fishing industry, not as any sort of by-product of the cruise industry. But it s a plan that promises to make use of the leftovers and offcuts of the fishing industry to make shipping less wasteful.
So how do dead fish get transformed into fuel? Organic waste of any kind can be mixed to produce a type of fuel known as biogas (沼气). If it sounds smelly, well…it is, and not just because of the dead fish. Biogas can also have small amounts of hydrogen sulphide, a chemical compound, which can give it a bad egg smell. It’s not a particularly attractive process, but don’ t worry: those smells won’t be given off from your cruise ship’s exhaust. The raw materials in the biogas can be cleaned, which creates liquid biogas.
What others see as a problem, we see as a resource and a solution, said Daniel Skjeldam Hurtigruten chief executive. “By introducing biogas as fuel for cruise ships, Hurtigruten will be the first cruise company to power ships with fossil-free (无化石的) fuel”
Biogas is certainly cleaner than heavy oil, but it’s not exactly carbon-free. So while the plan might be a creative way of making use of organic waste, as well as helping to get rid of fossil fuels, it’s not a perfect solution. However, it’s at least a step in a better direction. And the company will also be stopping single-use plastics on its 17 cruise ships. It’s good to see change happening in a dirty industry.
【1】What kind of dead fish will be used in the plan?
A．Those from tourists.
B．Those from restaurants.
C．Those from the cruise industry.
D．Those from the fishing industry.
【2】What is the limitation of the plan?
A．Biogas is smellier than heavy oil.
B．The making of biogas isn’t cost-saving
C．Biogas burning produces chemicals containing carbon.
D．The raw materials are not enough to cover the needs.
【3】What does the author think of Hurtigruten’s plan?
A．It is all talk.
B．It will be of some help.
C．It is daring.
D．It will cause a debate.
【4】What would be the best title for this text?
A．Dead fish will soon make power
B．Norway’s fishing industry meets a challenge
C．Smelly biogas has caused new problems
D．Hurtigruten points out the world resource issue

26、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。
Walter worked for a food store. He carried food to the homes that ordered it on the telephone. He wore the same clothes every day. He walked in a strange way. When we saw him coming down the street with the food, we would stop playing our games and follow him down the street, trying to walk as he did.
Walter did not bring food to our house. Mother was afraid of him. She went to a different store and brought the food home herself. When Grandmother came to live with us, things changed.
Grandmother liked all sorts of people. During her life, she had made friends with men who drank too much. women who ate too much, and people who were just very lonely.
Grandmother liked people for what they were. If she knew a man who drank too much, she would not tell him to stop drinking. She would tell him how to drink and still be a gentleman. The important thing to Grandmother was that things were done well in the right way and with control.
When Grandmother learned about Walter, she told my mother she wanted Walter to bring food to our house. Mother, of course, was strongly against it. But in vain.
The first time Walter came to our house, they became very close. He told Grandmother he wanted a real friend but did not know how to make friends. Grandmother seemed pleased, and she began to read books to Walter, a little from a book each time he came. The first book was called How to Dress When You Go out With a Friend. The next one was about the problems of early friendship and how to become better friends. Walter seemed to enjoy the readings. At least he listened.
Grandmother almost finished reading one day when Walter stopped her.
“Mrs. Gorman, I have a real friend,” he said. “I like her very much.”
“How wonderful!” Grandmother answered. “I hope you brush your hair and wear a coat when you see her. And you must promise me that you will always be a gentleman.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答，
The next book Grandmother read to Walter was How to Respect Your Friend.
