Volunteering is a great way for teenagers to make a difference and meet new people. There are many different types of volunteer opportunities for teens available. Here are a few volunteer opportunities that you could encourage your teen to take up.
Help at a local food bank
Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repackage donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes.
Help at a soup kitchen
A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run primarily on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and utensils (用具), help distribute food, cook food and more.
Volunteer for Meals on Wheels
By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love to get behind the wheel for any reason! They can make a massive impact in a short amount of time. Alternatively, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives.
Work with Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing fund-raising, painting, and building. You can sign them up for long-term projects or one-time program.

Getting into science is often difficult for some kids, It’s something Ahmed Muhammad learned quickly while babysitting his niece and nephew.
Muhammad is an 18-year-old senior from California. who attends Oakland Tech High school. One day he asked his niece and nephew if they wanted to do science, and he was upset by their reaction.
“Whenever I babysit them, we do things like playing chess, playing video games, or watching TV or whatever. When I tried to do science with them, they were like, No, I hate science. I’m bad at it.” It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called “Kits Cubed” with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.
“I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it” Muhammad said.
After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. “Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids,” Muhammad said.
That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible,” Muhammad said.
Muhammad, who has been accepted to Stanford University, is just thrilled he was able to help change his niece and his nephew’s opinion of science while inspiring others as well.
24．What is the main pursuit of Kits Cubed
A．To solve the absence of science at school.
B．To promote acceptance of scientific spirit.
C．To provide free access to household stuff.
D．To set in motion kids’ passion for science.
25．What made Muhammad decide to share the science kits
A．Online research he carried out about materials.
B．Enjoyable reactions he observed from the kids.
C．Science books he published about experiments.
D．Science fairs he participated in at his own school.
26．What can be known about his website

Britain has a stubborn enemy called the “devil plant”, the Japanese knotweed (虎杖). The name originated in Japan, but it became a promoter behind a plant disaster in Britain. Initially it was introduced to England as a landscape plant. However, over time it has evolved into a harsh plant difficult to control.
The plant is disreputable (坏名声的) mainly because of its strong ability to survive. The Japanese knotweed can grow at an amazing speed. What’s more, Japan’s knotweed is penetrating. As long as you give it a small gap, it can follow it and make rapid growth. This gap may be a crack in the road, or a wall crack in the house, and even some Japanese knotweed will start to grow from the foundation of the house, gradually “destroy” the whole house. Such an invasion (入侵) is a nightmare for the British. The British simply love and hate the plant, but so far, they are still unable to find an effective way to remove it.
Fortunately, China’s knotweed is not identical to Japan’s, and in the China’s ecosystem, there are many natural enemies against it. As a result, China has not experienced a knotweed invasion as severe as Britain. Additionally, its tender stem can be made into delicious food. The root of knotweed is a very good Chinese medicine. Therefore, in some places there’s also a need to plant knotweed, to obtain economic benefits.
This case gives us a profound inspiration that it is important to be careful when introducing alien species and to fully understand the characteristics of plants or animals and the effects they may cause in a new environment, otherwise it may be easy to spend a huge amount of money every year to clean up the Japanese knotweed, as in the UK.
28. Why did Britain bring in Japanese knotweed at first
A. To make profits. B. For decoration.
C. For scientific research. D. To promote biodiversity.
29. What does the underlined word “penetrating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Fading away. B. Dying out.
C. Multiplying rapidly. D. Growing steadily.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. China’s ecosystem is not damaged by knotweed.
B. Knotweed is in great demand in the whole China.
C. Knotweed has made most of the Chinese people rich.
D. Chinese medicine includes knotweed’s stems and roots.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Natural Phenomenon We Know
B. A Plant That People Love and Hate
C. Alien Species’ Effect on the Local Economy
D. The Fight Against Invasive Plants and Animals
D
The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A. Warned. B. Punished. C. Amused. D. Touched.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges
21．B 22．C 23．D

26．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need.(就在那时，他拿出自己攒下的200美元创建了一个网站，开始制作科学工具包出售，并最终将收入捐给了有需要的孩子)”可知，他的网站是通过制作科学工具包出售从而获利，并将收入捐给有需要的孩子。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第六段“That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最初被作为景观植物引入英国的日本虎杖在英国造成了植物灾难，入侵了本土的生态系统，无法被有效地清除，对比之下，中国的生态系统中有这种植物的天敌，因此它没有在中国造成灾难，而且还可以被制作成美食以及入药，文章以此提醒在引进外来物种时需小心谨慎。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Initially it was introduced to England as a landscape plant. (最初，它是作为一种景观植物引入英国的)”可知，英国一开始引进日本虎杖是为了美化景观，即出于装饰的目的。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“The plant is disreputable (坏名声的) mainly because of its strong ability to survive. The Japanese knotweed can grow at an amazing speed.

This gap may be a crack in the road, or a wall crack in the house, and even some Japanese knotweed will start to grow from the foundation of the house, gradually “destroy” the whole house. (只要你给它一个小小的空隙，它就能跟着它，做出快速的成长。这个缝隙可能是道路上的裂缝，也可能是房子墙上的裂缝，甚至一些日本虎杖会从房子的地基上开始生长，逐渐“摧毁”整个房子)”可知，此处介绍了日本虎杖强大的生存能力，它的生长速度很快，且能在很小的空间内快速生长。由此可知，这种植物渗透进了英国，正迅速地增加，划线词意思应该是“迅速增加”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Fortunately, China’s knotweed is not identical to Japan’s, and in the China’s ecosystem, there are many natural enemies against it. As a result, China has not experienced a knotweed invasion as severe as Britain. (幸运的是，中国的虎杖和日本的不一样，在中国的生态系统中，有很多天敌。因此，中国没有经历过像英国那样严重的虎杖入侵)”可知，中国的生态系统中有虎杖的天敌，因此抑制了虎杖的入侵。由此推知，中国的生态系统没有被虎杖破坏。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕引入日本虎杖这一植物展开，第一、二段介绍了最初被作为景观植物引入英国的这种植物在英国造成了植物灾难，入侵了本土的生态系统，无法被有效地清除，第三段介绍了中国的生态系统中有这种植物的天敌，因此它没有在中国造成灾难，而且还可以被制作成美食以及入药，最后一段基于此案例提醒在引进外来物种时需小心谨慎。由此可知，B项“一种人们又爱又恨的植物”契合文章主旨，最适合作为标题。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了几个简单而神奇的方法让你变得更聪明。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Wisdom is no just a good quality to have but it is also very necessary. There are a lot of ways to become wiser.(智慧不仅是一种好的品质，而且也是非常必要的。有很多方法可以让你变得更聪明)”可知，C项“However, you are advised to start small(但是，建议您从小处开始)”和前文构成转折关系，符合文意，并引出下文“Here are some strategies that you can use to get wiser.(这里有一些策略可以让你变得更聪明)”。故选C项。
【37题详解】
分析设空，是本段的小标题，根据下文“You will never grow from being in your comfort zone which is why you need to get out of it. This is the only way you will gain wisdom and become better. You try learning new skills that you never thought of learning or going to places that were on your bucket list. Change your routine and see where life takes you, take control!(你永远无法从你的舒适区中成长，这就是为什么你需要走出舒适区。这是你获得智慧和变得更好的唯一途径。你试着学习你从未想过要学习的新技能，或者去你遗愿清单上的地方。改变你的日常生活，看看生活会把你带向何方，掌握主动权!)”可知，本段主要讲述了走出舒适区，去经历新的事情，所以A项“Try experiencing new opportunities(尝试新的机会)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选A项。
38题详解】
设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Limiting yourself to only one type of people that share the same beliefs as you can be comforting but it doesn’t get you anywhere in life. You need to meet and experience new people and learn what they have to offer. Share what defines you and learn from others. This will make you wise.(把自己局限在一种和你有相同信仰的人身上可能会让你感到安慰，但这对你的生活没有任何帮助。你需要结识新朋友，了解他们所能提供的。分享定义你的东西，向别人学习。这会使你变得聪明)”可知，本段主要讲述结识新朋友，所以D项“Developing new friendships will be beneficial to you(发展新的友谊对你是有益的)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“All of us make mistakes in life, but it is the acknowledgment of mistakes that makes us grow and do better next time. Whenever we make a mistake, we should learn from it, thinking over our shortcomings won’t get us anywhere.(我们所有人在生活中都会犯错误，但正是承认错误让我们成长，让我们下次做得更好。无论什么时候我们犯了错误，我们都应该从中吸取教训，总想着我们的缺点是不会有什么结果的)”可知，本段主要讲述了从失败中吸取教训，所以E项“We can reflect upon failure in order to improve ourselves(我们可以反思失败，以提高自己)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“If you have accumulated a lot of knowledge then why not share it with others too (如果你积累了很多知识，那么为什么不与他人分享呢 )”以及后文“In today’s world, it is very easy to become wise but it isn’t easy to help others, so do the difficult part too.(在当今世界，变得聪明很容易，但帮助别人却不容易，所以困难的部分也要做)”可知，本段主要讲述帮助他人能让自己更明智，所以F项“Being ready to help others out will definitely increase your wisdom(随时准备帮助别人一定会增加你的智慧)”符合本段主题，引出下文。故选F项。

67．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。
Excitement and danger always coexist. Even Rogers had just taken a turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long brown hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in pain.
Sydney Linden, 28, bad been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, when she jumped over a rock and her leg overextended on the landing. The pain was instant. Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had tom her ACL (韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15out of 10.
Linden dragged herself to the shade, “like an animal preparing to die,” she says. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.
Rogers was trying to play it cool. “I didn’t want to be strange,” he says, “so I was just going to casually ride by — at a slower speed.” But Rogers, 33, an active-duty airman, sensed her sufferings and asked if be could help. Linden explained her dilemma. That’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital — now.
Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was burning. She’d never make it to the trailhead (登山扣) this way. Rogers had another idea. Ho abandoned his bike on the side of the trail and, after a brief discussion, lifted her over his shoulder. Then they began their way over the rocky area and bushes. Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down wildly.
Misfortune never came alone.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version
Misfortune never came alone. As they headed for the parking lot, Rogers wanted to distract Linden from the pain by chatting with her. Unfortunately, he tripped over a stone and they both fell to the ground. Painful though he was, Rogers dropped to his knees, checked Linden’s condition and lifted her over his shoulder again. Exhausted but determined, Rogers tightly carried Linden on his back, moving forward carefully. Eventually, after an hour’s struggle in the bushes, they finally made it to the parking lot, where Linden’s friend was waiting anxiously with the car. Rogers carefully loaded Linden into the front seat and she was rushed to the hospital.
Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information. She spared every effort to search for him but couldn’t find anything relevant. Linden contacted the local newspaper, which published her story the day after the surgery with the headline “Runner Looking for Trail Hero.” Luckily, that same day, the journalist emailed Linden, telling her Rogers had read the article and wanted to get in touch. A week later, Rogers and Linden finally met again. In tears, Linden thanked him for everything he’d done, excited beyond words. From that day on, the pair became good friends, discussing life goals and future plans from time to time. It was kindness and a grateful heart that made a real difference.(212 words)

Alternatively, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives.
Work with Habitat for Humanity

Getting into science is often difficult for some kids, It’s something Ahmed Muhammad learned quickly while babysitting his niece and nephew.
Muhammad is an 18-year-old senior from California. who attends Oakland Tech High school. One day he asked his niece and nephew if they wanted to do science, and he was upset by their reaction.
“Whenever I babysit them, we do things like playing chess, playing video games, or watching TV or whatever. When I tried to do science with them, they were like, No, I hate science. I’m bad at it.” It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called “Kits Cubed” with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.
“I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it” Muhammad said.
After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. “Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids,” Muhammad said.
That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible,” Muhammad said.
Muhammad, who has been accepted to Stanford University, is just thrilled he was able to help change his niece and his nephew’s opinion of science while inspiring others as well.
24．What is the main pursuit of Kits Cubed
A．To solve the absence of science at school.
B．To promote acceptance of scientific spirit.
C．To provide free access to household stuff.
D．To set in motion kids’ passion for science.
25．What made Muhammad decide to share the science kits
A．Online research he carried out about materials.
B．Enjoyable reactions he observed from the kids.
C．Science books he published about experiments.
D．Science fairs he participated in at his own school.
26．What can be known about his website
A．It targeted at kids aged from 10 to 15.
B．It received donations for kids in need.
C．It was primarily funded by local school.

Britain has a stubborn enemy called the “devil plant”, the Japanese knotweed (虎杖). The name originated in Japan, but it became a promoter behind a plant disaster in Britain. Initially it was introduced to England as a landscape plant. However, over time it has evolved into a harsh plant difficult to control.
The plant is disreputable (坏名声的) mainly because of its strong ability to survive. The Japanese knotweed can grow at an amazing speed. What’s more, Japan’s knotweed is penetrating. As long as you give it a small gap, it can follow it and make rapid growth. This gap may be a crack in the road, or a wall crack in the house, and even some Japanese knotweed will start to grow from the foundation of the house, gradually “destroy” the whole house. Such an invasion (入侵) is a nightmare for the British. The British simply love and hate the plant, but so far, they are still unable to find an effective way to remove it.
Fortunately, China’s knotweed is not identical to Japan’s, and in the China’s ecosystem, there are many natural enemies against it. As a result, China has not experienced a knotweed invasion as severe as Britain. Additionally, its tender stem can be made into delicious food. The root of knotweed is a very good Chinese medicine. Therefore, in some places there’s also a need to plant knotweed, to obtain economic benefits.
This case gives us a profound inspiration that it is important to be careful when introducing alien species and to fully understand the characteristics of plants or animals and the effects they may cause in a new environment, otherwise it may be easy to spend a huge amount of money every year to clean up the Japanese knotweed, as in the UK.
28. Why did Britain bring in Japanese knotweed at first
A. To make profits. B. For decoration.
C. For scientific research. D. To promote biodiversity.
29. What does the underlined word “penetrating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Fading away. B. Dying out.
C. Multiplying rapidly. D. Growing steadily.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. China’s ecosystem is not damaged by knotweed.
B. Knotweed is in great demand in the whole China.
C. Knotweed has made most of the Chinese people rich.
D. Chinese medicine includes knotweed’s stems and roots.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Natural Phenomenon We Know
B. A Plant That People Love and Hate
C. Alien Species’ Effect on the Local Economy
D. The Fight Against Invasive Plants and Animals
D
The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”

A. Warned. B. Punished. C. Amused. D. Touched.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.

Excitement and danger always coexist. Even Rogers had just taken a turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long brown hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in pain.
Sydney Linden, 28, bad been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, when she jumped over a rock and her leg overextended on the landing. The pain was instant. Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had tom her ACL (韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15out of 10.
Linden dragged herself to the shade, “like an animal preparing to die,” she says. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.
Rogers was trying to play it cool. “I didn’t want to be strange,” he says, “so I was just going to casually ride by — at a slower speed.” But Rogers, 33, an active-duty airman, sensed her sufferings and asked if be could help. Linden explained her dilemma. That’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital — now.
Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was burning. She’d never make it to the trailhead (登山扣) this way. Rogers had another idea. Ho abandoned his bike on the side of the trail and, after a brief discussion, lifted her over his shoulder. Then they began their way over the rocky area and bushes. Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down wildly.
Misfortune never came alone.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information.
