“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “… little things can change a person’s life.”
12. Volunteering can help ________.
A. make a decision B. see the world clearly

Neighbours called the fire department, 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 fire- fighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
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, then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed 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 an upbringing (教养) 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.

考查介词。句意：做天鹅绒花是一种濒临灭绝的民间工艺，但随着越来越多的年轻工匠投身于这门艺术，情况发生了变化。devote…to…“投身于”，to为介词。故填to。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：21岁的慕容仪（Murong Yi）是北京一所大学的大四学生，也是其中之一。根据句意，可数名词university在句中指“一所大学”，泛指，又因university的音标以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a限定。故填a。

考查非谓语动词。句意：灵感来自《红楼梦》中的人物王熙凤，这件艺术品是用4000片蚕丝在12天内制成的。分析句子，提示词inspire在句中作状语，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语the artwork构成被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填Inspired。

【40题详解】
考查语态和主谓一致。句意：天鹅绒花在汉语中被称为荣华，意思是财富和荣耀。分析句子结构，此处作谓语动词，结合句意，与主语Velvet flowers构成被动关系，用被动语态，主语Velvet flowers为复数名词，谓语动词也用复数。故填are called。

【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：一开始，慕容在学习这种手工艺时遇到了挑战。她试图向他人学习，但找不到很多在线教学视频。分析句子结构，此处作动词find的宾语，用名词形式，结合many，可知用名词复数形式。故填videos。
【43题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。最后，她看了一个小时的电视节目，节目中一位继承人详细展示了如何制作天鹅绒花。分析句子，此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词TV program，指物，关系词将先行词代入从句中作介词in后的宾语，指“在这个节目中”，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：当慕容成长为一名熟练的创造者时，新的想法自然而然地出现了。分析句子结构，此处修饰后面动词短语came up，用副词形式，naturally“自然地”，符合题意。故填naturally。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：作为中国传统文化的爱好者，她说：“我将更多地了解不同的手工艺品，并在社交媒体平台上向年轻人宣传它们。”分析句子结构，此处修饰后面名词culture，作前置定语，traditional“传统的”，符合题意。故填traditional。

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.
Neighbours called the fire department, 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 fire- fighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
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, then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed 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 an upbringing (教养) 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.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When he got to the front of the hall, 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.
When asked 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.”
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个与祖母相依为命的女孩在大火中失去了祖母，在消防队员到来之前一个男人从大火里面将小女孩救了出来。一项调查显示，这个孩子没有在世的亲属。几周后，在市政厅举行了一次会议，决定由谁来收养这个孩子并抚养她。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当他走到大厅前面时，他站在小女孩的面前，伸出双臂。”接下来叙述的是小女孩认出他就是从大火里救她出来的恩人，她愿意和他生活在一起。
②由第二段首句内容“当被问及她的选择时，女孩坚定地给出了理由。”可知，第二段叙述的应该是女孩为什么放弃好的教育和好的生活而愿意由救她的人来抚养。
2.续写线索：起火——救人——失去亲人——开会——抚养——理由
3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达）
