Is there a connection between volunteering and health Could volunteering offer a way to improve kids’ mental (心理的) health
According to a new study, kids who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might be helping themselves as well. Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens.
The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to grow up healthily or do well. And kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety (焦虑). The findings come from a survey provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17. The result shows that volunteering has a positive effect to raise higher levels of happiness, life-satisfaction, a sense of control over life and mental health.
The study comes at an important time. In another report, more than 40% of high school students said that they had ever felt sad or hopeless. Therefore, there’s a clear need to improve students’ mental health. Giving back to the community may be one method. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. So, kids, give it a try, for your health and happiness.

I’m Nancy. Do you remember the name of your kindergarten (幼儿园) teacher I do. Her name was Mrs. White. And I remember I thought she must be a sister of Snow White, because she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair and fair skin as her.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections (改正), and always a star. Sometimes even a Good, which would make me fly with happiness. So one day when my mother went to meet Mrs. White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical mistakes.
“The children are just beginning to get excited about using words and forming (形成) sentences. I don’t want my students to lose interest because of red ink (墨水). Spelling and grammar can wait, the wonder of words won’t.” Mrs. White said.
Later I knew that if Mrs. White had used her red pen often, I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather unusual teacher to use as less red pen as possible.
I used to misspell (拼错) “beautiful” a lot, and could never remember that the “e” goes before the “a”. It made my teacher in high school angry. She asked me to use “pretty” when I was writing. I didn’t listen to her. To my eyes, “pretty” is easier to spell, but it doesn’t hold as much as we mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White, I never worried about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out, because life isn’t “pretty”. It’s “beautiful”.
31. What does the underlined word “we” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The writer and her mother. B. The writer and her classmates.
C The writer and her teacher. D. The writer’s mother and her teacher.
32. How might Nancy’s mother feel before she went to meet Mrs. White
A. Worried B. Pleased. C. Proud. D. Embarrassed.
33. Which one is right according to what Mrs. White said in Paragraph 3
A. Children don’t have the patience in spelling words.
B. Red corrections are used to draw children’s attention.
C. Children’s interest of using words is very important.
D. Grammar and spelling should be paid more attention to.
34. What can we learn from the text
A. One should help children spell correct words.
B. We should never pay attention to spelling and grammar.
C. Children should know how to use simple words to express themselves.
D. Using words to express is more important than just correcting spelling.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Mother’s Love B. “Beautiful” Life C. My Teacher D. Childhood Memory
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者至今还记得幼儿园的老师怀特夫人，那时母亲还因她不改正作者的书写错误而找她谈话。现在作者才明白，怀特夫人这样做是为了保护孩子学会写字，学会造句的热情。
【31题详解】
代词指代题。根据“I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot.”我不太记得我们在她的课上学了什么，但我妈妈曾经告诉我，我们过去经常写很多东西。所以这里的we指的是作者和同学们，故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“So one day when my mother went to meet Mrs. White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical mistakes..”可知，妈妈在家长会时问了怀特老师为什么从不纠正作者拼写错误或指出语法错误。由此推出妈妈对此感到担忧。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I don’t want my students to lose interest because of red ink (墨水). Spelling and grammar can wait, the wonder of words won’t...”可知，怀特夫人认为孩子们学习单词的兴趣是非常重要的。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I don’t want my students to lose interest because of red ink (墨水). Spelling and grammar can wait, the wonder of words won’t...”可知，用单词表达比纠正拼写更重要。故选D。
【35题详解】
最佳标题题。本文主要讲单词表达比纠正错误更重要，以作者用错误单词“beautiful”为例来进行了说明，结合“I used to misspell (拼错) ‘beautiful’ a lot”及“And thanks to Mrs. White, I never worried about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out, because life isn’t ‘pretty’. It’s ‘beautiful’.”可知，用B项做标题最合适。故选B。
D
Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers (激光) to change the path of a lightning strike (雷击的路径). The experiment suggests that in the future, lasers might be useful for protecting large buildings from lightning.
Lightning can be extremely powerful and cause serious problems on the ground. Lightning strike can cause fires, destroy buildings, and even kill people. The damage from lightning costs billions of dollars every year. In the US, lightning strikes killed close to 450 people between 2006 and 2021.
Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time. Now the best way is by putting metal rods (金属竿) on the buildings. These rods are connected to the ground. The lightning is attracted to the rods, which safely guide the electricity into the ground. But lightning rods can only protect a small area. Some buildings—such as airports are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.
Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning. Scientists had been working on the idea for over 20 years. They have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a lab. But until the summer of 2021, scientists could guide lightning with lasers outside. Using a powerful laser, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning for meters.
The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge (电荷). The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. Scientist Matteo Clerici said, “The fact that we managed to do it in an outdoor environment is a very big step.”
But the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. Besides, the laser is also very expensive. The scientists say it cost about $2 billion. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.
36. What is the laser technology expected to protect
A. High-rise buildings. B. Large buildings.
C. Beautiful buildings. D. Important buildings.
37. To know how powerful lightning can be, which paragraph can we read
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
38. Why are lasers not used widely for changing the path of lightning strike now
A. Putting metal rods on the buildings is the best way.
B. Some buildings are so large that it’s difficult to protect.
C. Lasers are only able to guide lightning for a short distance.
D. Lasers are so expensive that scientists can’t pay for experimenting.
39. What can we learn from what Matteo Clerici said
A. Scientists still need to work harder to achieve a greater success.
B. It is not easy for scientists to guide lightning with lasers outside.
C. Scientists need to change working environment in next experiments.
D. It is a great progress for scientists to guide lightning with lasers outside.
40. What can we infer from the end of the passage
A. Behind bad luck comes good luck.
B. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
C. There is still a long way to go before a laser can really work.
D. For scientists, working together is better than working alone.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家正尝试使用激光技术来改变雷击的路径，以便保护更大的区域范围。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The experiment suggests that in the future, lasers might be useful for protecting large buildings from lightning.”可知，激光技术被期待用来保护大型建筑物。故选B。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Lightning can be extremely powerful and cause serious problems on the ground.”可知，从第二段我们可以知道闪电有多强大。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Using a powerful laser, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning for meters.”及“But the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like.”可知，科学家们能够使用激光技术引导闪电数米，它仍然没有把闪电引导到科学家们希望的那样远，也即是激光只能引导近距离的闪电，所以还不能广泛用于改变雷击的路径。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The fact that we managed to do it in an outdoor environment is a very big step.”可知，从Matteo Clerici的话中，我们可以知道科学家用室外激光引导闪电是一个很大的进步。故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据“It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.”可知，在激光真正发挥作用之前，还有很长的路要走。故选C。

Is there a connection between volunteering and health Could volunteering offer a way to improve kids’ mental (心理的) health
According to a new study, kids who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might be helping themselves as well. Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens.
The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to grow up healthily or do well. And kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety (焦虑). The findings come from a survey provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17. The result shows that volunteering has a positive effect to raise higher levels of happiness, life-satisfaction, a sense of control over life and mental health.
The study comes at an important time. In another report, more than 40% of high school students said that they had ever felt sad or hopeless. Therefore, there’s a clear need to improve students’ mental health. Giving back to the community may be one method. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. So, kids, give it a try, for your health and happiness.
26. How does the writer introduce the topic
A. By telling a story. B. By using a saying.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving some facts.
27. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. Volunteers are helping community. B. Volunteers are helping themselves.
C. Volunteering leads to better health. D. Volunteering is connected with kids.
28. According to Paragraph 3, who took part in the survey of the study
A. Some parents. B. Young people. C. Some children. D. Community volunteers.

C. The findings show volunteering is useless to raise happiness levels.
D. Kids who volunteer have a better chance to develop successfully.
30. What is the writer’s advice for kids in the end
A. Do more studies. B. Ask adults for help.
C. Find life purpose. D. Serve the community.

I’m Nancy. Do you remember the name of your kindergarten (幼儿园) teacher I do. Her name was Mrs. White. And I remember I thought she must be a sister of Snow White, because she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair and fair skin as her.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections (改正), and always a star. Sometimes even a Good, which would make me fly with happiness. So one day when my mother went to meet Mrs. White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical mistakes.
“The children are just beginning to get excited about using words and forming (形成) sentences. I don’t want my students to lose interest because of red ink (墨水). Spelling and grammar can wait, the wonder of words won’t.” Mrs. White said.
Later I knew that if Mrs. White had used her red pen often, I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather unusual teacher to use as less red pen as possible.
I used to misspell (拼错) “beautiful” a lot, and could never remember that the “e” goes before the “a”. It made my teacher in high school angry. She asked me to use “pretty” when I was writing. I didn’t listen to her. To my eyes, “pretty” is easier to spell, but it doesn’t hold as much as we mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White, I never worried about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out, because life isn’t “pretty”. It’s “beautiful”.
31. What does the underlined word “we” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The writer and her mother. B. The writer and her classmates.
C. The writer and her teacher. D. The writer’s mother and her teacher.
32. How might Nancy’s mother feel before she went to meet Mrs. White
A. Worried B. Pleased. C. Proud. D. Embarrassed.
33. Which one is right according to what Mrs. White said in Paragraph 3
A. Children don’t have the patience in spelling words.
B. Red corrections are used to draw children’s attention.
C. Children’s interest of using words is very important.
D. Grammar and spelling should be paid more attention to.
34. What can we learn from the text
A. One should help children spell correct words.
B. We should never pay attention to spelling and grammar.
C. Children should know how to use simple words to express themselves.
D. Using words to express is more important than just correcting spelling.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Mother’s Love B. “Beautiful” Life C. My Teacher D. Childhood Memory
D
Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers (激光) to change the path of a lightning strike (雷击的路径). The experiment suggests that in the future, lasers might be useful for protecting large buildings from lightning.
Lightning can be extremely powerful and cause serious problems on the ground. Lightning strike can cause fires, destroy buildings, and even kill people. The damage from lightning costs billions of dollars every year. In the US, lightning strikes killed close to 450 people between 2006 and 2021.
Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time. Now the best way is by putting metal rods (金属竿) on the buildings. These rods are connected to the ground. The lightning is attracted to the rods, which safely guide the electricity into the ground. But lightning rods can only protect a small area. Some buildings—such as airports are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.
Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning. Scientists had been working on the idea for over 20 years. They have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a lab. But until the summer of 2021, scientists could guide lightning with lasers outside. Using a powerful laser, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning for meters.
The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge (电荷). The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. Scientist Matteo Clerici said “The fact that we managed to do it in an outdoor environment is a very big step.”
But the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. Besides, the laser is also very expensive. The scientists say it cost about $2 billion. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.
36. What is the laser technology expected to protect
A. High-rise buildings. B. Large buildings.
C. Beautiful buildings. D. Important buildings.
37. To know how powerful lightning can be, which paragraph can we read
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
38. Why are lasers not used widely for changing the path of lightning strike now
A. Putting metal rods on the buildings is the best way.
B. Some buildings are so large that it’s difficult to protect.
C. Lasers are only able to guide lightning for a short distance.
D. Lasers are so expensive that scientists can’t pay for experimenting.
39. What can we learn from what Matteo Clerici said
A. Scientists still need to work harder to achieve a greater success.
B. It is not easy for scientists to guide lightning with lasers outside.
C. Scientists need to change working environment in next experiments.
D. It is a great progress for scientists to guide lightning with lasers outside.
40. What can we infer from the end of the passage
A. Behind bad luck comes good luck.
B. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
C. There is still a long way to go before a laser can really work.
D. For scientists, working together is better than working alone.
