19、动中的工作。作者感觉活动很有趣,最后他们让两只海龟回归大海,自由生活。1答案与解析:D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Would it be the highly desirable turtle feeding, the pretty fun tank cleaning, the exciting medicine administering or the less appealing fish cutting?”可知,fish cutting没那么有趣,故选D。2答案与解析:C句意理解题。根据第二段中的“Life at the turtle project was fun because tw
20、ice a day we got to hang out with sea turtles.”可知,作者认为在海龟项目的生活很有趣,因为每天有两次机会和海龟一起出去。因此这个项目中所谓的“工作”是令人愉快的事情,故选C。3答案与解析:A判断推理题。根据最后一段中的“Hopefully, the love and care provided at the turtle project would ensure that these turtles had a greater chance of survival in the big, wide and scary ocean.”可知,海龟项目志
21、愿者所提供的关爱能确保这些海龟有更大的机会在广阔而可怕的海洋中生存。因此当放生这两只海龟的时候,志愿者会有成就感,故选A。B【语篇解读】残疾人参加体育锻炼与正常人是不同的,他们常常面临各种挑战,为此专门成立了一个锻炼帮扶组织。文章讲述了该组织帮扶的两个具体事例。4答案与解析:B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees
22、 to be their eyes and ears.”可知,对于视觉和听觉受损的运动员来说,参加锻炼是一项挑战,除非有人做他们的眼睛和耳朵。由此可推知,第一段旨在说明残疾人运动员所面临的困难。故B项正确。5答案与解析:C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When we go out, its much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us whats there.”可知,Jane Britt认为,“我们”出去的时候,如果“我们”身旁有听力正常的人为“
23、我们”去听并告诉“我们”那里有什么,那就没有那么可怕了。由此可推知,Jane Britt对独自外出感到担忧。故C项正确。6答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第四段的内容,尤其是“I suddenly had to tell her I couldnt see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her.”可知,Britt的眼镜在大雨中碎了,她看不到东西,完全依靠Cullen女士帮她指路。故C项正确。7答案与解析:A细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容尤其是“But, they found people and matched me
24、to them, she said.Its the best thing Ive ever done.”可知,Allen女士认为她做的最好的事情是向Achilles Brisbane求助。故A项正确。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了做志愿者的好处教你新的技能,让你知道什么是真正重要的,帮助你结识新朋友。1答案与解析:C根据上文提到“When it comes to the benefit of volunteering, a lot of people think its all about the warm feeling after helping someone.”,下文
25、说“It means that there are some surprising benefits for volunteers.”可知,C项(事实证明,这不是唯一的好处)能够承接上下文,符合语境。2答案与解析:G根据上文的“It means that when you get involved in charity work, a lot of the time you will face challenges.”可知,G项(通过克服挑战,你将学习全新的技能)能够承接上文,其中challenges是关键对应词,故选G。3答案与解析:D根据上文的“When youve been at it
26、for a while, you just might find yourself reevaluating your advantages.”以及空后以作者的一个朋友为例可知,D项(你甚至可能会选一条完全不同的新路)符合语境。4答案与解析:A根据下文“Maybe it is not surprising, but what might surprise you is how genuine these friends are. Some of my longterm friends are people Ive met through volunteering,”可知,A项(帮你结交新朋友)适合做本段主旨。5答案与解析:E根据上文“Summed up in one line: Volunteering helps you grow.”可知,E项(它不仅能让你在人格方面成长,也能让你在技能方面进步)符合语境。
