Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　I loaded The Ledger in the metal basket of my bicycle I called my tank.Balloon tires （低压轮胎） mobilized the red-black heavy bike I had found on a roadside left for the garbage man.In those days， the papers had to be left on the steps.Some customers requested I put them between the storm door and the front wooden door.
　　Saturday was collection day.When I knocked on the door， I never knew what I was going to get.Old man Kusek shouted out of the back of his kitchen， “I’ll pay you next week.” I made a note on his card that this was the fifth week in a row he had shouted those same words.
　　Every week I had cold feet about charging for the newspapers at Mr Schaefer’s house.As soon as I took the first step up， two German Shepherds bolted （突然快跑） against the screen door.Their barking always pushed me one step back from the door.“Don’t worry.They won’t hurt you，” a voice shouted from inside the house.Mr Schaefer came to the door to pay his bill with a dollar clenched （咬紧） between his teeth while he held each dog by their collar.Grabbing the money from his mouth， I turned and ran， thinking those fierce dogs were going to break free and eat me alive.
　　Every two weeks， Mr Kloch from The Ledger would come to collect the money.After I paid the amount， the rest was mine.Counting the change was the fun part to see how much money I’d made.
　　My first job as a paperboy taught me about managing money， serving customers， and accepting responsibility.I remember the time when I was in a grocery store with my mother.A family approached us and their little kid pointed at me and shouted，“That’s our paperboy！” I felt proud at that moment and I still do today.

2.What kind of man was Kusek in the author’s eyes？（　　）
A.He was far too sensitive.
B.He was very responsible.

C.Felt sorry. D.Looked confused.
4.What did the author think of his experience of being a paperboy？（　　）

　　Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been volunteering for years， think of what you’re doing.Here are some things you need to do if you want to do your best：

　　Follow the rules.7.（　　） Do your best to follow them because they’ve been made for a reason.Periodically go over your job description.If you don’t have a written one， ask your volunteer coordinator whether or not you’re meeting expectations.
　　 8.（　　） If you see something that the volunteer coordinator needs to know about， let him know as soon as possible.Or if you have a better idea of getting the work done faster， share your thoughts with him.It will do good to the cause.
　　Be flexible.You may be actively doing your given job when you notice something else that needs to be done.9.（　　）
A.Communicate more.

C.You and everyone around you will be happier if you have a positive attitude.

　　Mrs Yamagata， owner of Something Sushi， walked to the podium （讲台）.“I believe the town owns an empty lot next to my restaurant，” she said.“Couldn’t that be a soccer field？” The Rockers cheered.
　　“A soccer field would be a good use for that lot，” Maloof said.“But the town simply doesn’t have the money to build and maintain one.”
　　“The Rockers can do it！” Mr Boyd spoke up.He began to negotiate with the Council.“If the town lets the Rockers use the vacant lot， we will turn it into a soccer field.”
　　After some discussion， the Council reached a decision.They approved using that lot for a community soccer field.The team cheered.
　　The following day， at Something Sushi， the team got together to share ideas for raising money.They finally decided to wash cars for their community.On the day of the car wash， car owners lined up in the middle school parking lot， where six wading pools （塑料浅水池） had been set up.The team began washing carefully.By the end of the day， the Rockers were soaked through （湿透） but excited about raising $750.In the next few days， the Rockers also invited neighbours to donate materials for building the field.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了儿时当报童的经历，这段经历让他学会了如何理财、服务客户以及承担责任。
1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知，作者当报童送报时常常骑一辆破旧的二手自行车。
2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中作者对Kusek的描述可知，每次都说下周给报款的Kusek总是食言。
3.B　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的two German Shepherds ...barking always pushed me one step back from the door可知，作者每周都要去Mr Schaefer家收报款，可是因为他家有两只凶猛的德国牧羊犬，所以作者每次去他家收款都很害怕。get/have cold feet意为“临阵胆怯；畏缩”。
4.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的My first job as a paperboy taught me about managing money， serving customers， and accepting responsibility.和I felt proud at that moment可知，作者非常感激当报童的这段经历。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何做好志愿者工作提出了一些建议。
5.G　上文提到：做志愿者同样有使命，需要负责任。空处为本段最后一句，应承接上文继续说明负责任的原因，故G项（人们都在依赖你，你应该负责任地付出你的时间）符合语境。
6.C　根据上文可知，本段主要是关于志愿者态度的说明，上文提到面带微笑表现出你想在那里做志愿者，由此可推测此处应表述的是需要积极的态度，C项中的a positive attitude对应上文中的a good attitude。故C项（如果你有积极的态度，你和你周围的每个人会更快乐）符合语境。
7.E　根据上文Follow the rules.可知，本段的建议是遵守志愿者的规则，下文中them指代E项中的a list of rules。故E项（有人可能已经给了你一份规则列表，不管是书面的还是口头的）符合语境。
8.A　本空位于本段开头，根据第三、四、六段开头语可知，本空应选祈使句作为本段的主旨句。根据下文中的let him know as soon as possible和share your thoughts with him可知，本段提到要多和他人分享自己的想法，即多和他人沟通。故A项（多交流）符合语境。
9.F　上文提到你可能在工作过程中注意到有其他的事情需要做，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明如何应对这种情况。故F项（不管这件事是什么，尽量去做，除非它违反了你组织的规定）符合语境。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。在女儿的影响下，作者决定开始写感恩日志。
10.C　根据下文中的I always looked for a perfect planner可知，“我”做事不够条理，因此“我”一直在寻找一本完美规划簿，“我”梦想着有了它“我”就能结束“我”的拖延症。
11.D　参见上题解析。
12.D　根据上文My daughter Julia and I headed to the school supply section in the shop the other day.可知，到了学习用品区，Julia挑了一本规划簿并拿给“我”看。
13.A　根据下文I thought of all the good habits I wanted to develop.可知，“我”认为规划簿上的习惯追踪将会对“我”很有帮助。
14.D　根据上文I asked Julia to put the planner in the cart （手推车）.可知，Julia说她也想买一本。
15.A　根据上文The next day， I filled in the habit-tracker section of my new planner可知，“我”决定作出一些积极的改变。
16.B　根据下文found the perfect planner ...together可知，“我”感到兴奋不已，或许“我”终于发现了完美的规划簿。
17.C　参见上题解析。
18.B　根据下文中的realized that I’d grabbed Julia’s可知，一天早上，“我”把Julia的规划簿当成是“我”自己的翻开了。
19.C　参见上题解析。
20.A　根据下文的how did she find time to do these things可知，Julia“习惯追踪”上的第一个任务是“写感恩日志”，第二个任务是“做好事”。尽管她很忙，但那一周她每天都会完成这两件事。
21.C　参见上题解析。
22.D　参见第20题解析。
23.B　根据上文Those two habits go together.可知，Julia说写感恩日志让她想做好事。
24.C　根据第一段中的I always looked for a perfect planner.可知，“我”花了很多年去寻找一本完美规划簿，殊不知，“我”需要的只是一本感恩日志。

　　A week later， the team gathered at the lot， carrying tools purchased with their earnings or donated by neighbours.Staring at the unused field of dirt， rocks， and weeds， Mariana thought it was not the soccer field in their dream.But she kicked into action with the others， cleaning up the mess.There was a huge rock in the middle of the field and the team moved it onto a rented truck.However， a gaping hole immediately appeared.With everyone working together they moved enough soil from the field’s edges to fill the hole.
　　Opening day attracted a huge crowd of soccer fans， all amazed by the new field.Before the game， the Rockers gathered together.They did it.Together they successfully turned an unseemly lot into their field of dreams.Everyone was excited and they decided to get out there hand in hand.Later， as the clock was running out on the 0∶0 score， Mariana kicked the ball hard.When she saw it slip through the opposing goalie’s hands， she realized that her dream had actually come true！
5 / 5Section Ⅳ　Extended reading & Project & Assessment
Taking responsibility
　　[1]Honoured guests， teachers and students， it is my pleasure and privilege① to welcome you here today and present my thoughts on this special occasion②.
　　Students， the time has arrived for you to fully accept your passage③ into adulthood.[2]I have seen you grow from nervous Senior 1 students into confident young adults， who sit before me today， ready to embrace④ the next phase⑤ of your lives. You must be both excited and anxious about the new experiences that are in store for⑥ you.[3]Don’t worry， for you are all responsible young people， well prepared and well equipped to successfully manage the challenges of the years ahead.
　　[1]it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to welcome ...and present ...。
　　[2]who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词young adults；形容词短语ready to embrace the next phase of your lives作状语。
　　[3]for为并列连词，意为“因为，由于”； are all responsible ...， well prepared and well equipped ...是并列谓语。
　　At school， you have gradually understood the importance of a well-developed sense of responsibility⑦. You accept that you are responsible for⑧ your successes and your failures.[4]Hopefully， you have learnt to treat responsibility not as a weight that burdens⑨ you， but rather as a foundation which will support your future development.A ship without an anchor⑩ is at the mercy of the waves and winds； likewise ， a person who has no sense of responsibility is at the mercy of their own careless and thoughtless behaviour.
　　[4]该句结构较复杂，treat responsibility后面接了两个由介词as引出的短语，由并列结构not ... but ...连接。每个as短语里又含有一个定语从句，that burdens you修饰a weight，而which will support your future development修饰a foundation。
　　As students， you must take your studies seriously and accept responsibility for your own learning. This means meeting deadlines for your schoolwork， following your teachers’ guidance ， and of course， always aiming for academic excellence. However， your responsibilities go far beyond your studies.[5]As you go through your daily life， you will encounter many difficult situations where things may go wrong . Instead of being quick to blame others， analyse the problem， and if it is indeed your own fault ， be ready to admit your mistake and then correct it. This way， you practise the virtue of courage.[6]Always give your best in whatever you set out to do， however difficult that might be. This way， you practise the virtue of determination. Be honest by saying what you mean and by meaning what you say.This way， you practise the virtue of integrity .Taking responsibility in all aspects of your everyday life， therefore， will help build a strong character.
　　[5]As引导时间状语从句，意为“随着……”；where引导定语从句，修饰抽象名词situations。
　　[6]whatever引导宾语从句，作介词in的宾语；however引导让步状语从句。
　　Apart from personal development， assuming responsibility for your actions is also important for the betterment of society.Society is an organic whole， and as social beings， we have a responsibility to make a contribution.[7]You may have heard the story of a small boy who tried to save starfish left on the beach after a storm， by throwing them back into the sea.Passers-by told him that he was wasting his time， for he could not possibly save them all. [8]However， the boy was not discouraged ， believing that he could make a difference to the ones that he saved.As a result， the passers-by felt inspired and joined him in saving the starfish.Similarly， the little things you do can make a difference！For example， picking up garbage around your neighbourhood contributes to a cleaner environment.Reporting a speeding car helps ensure road safety.Being energy-efficient leads to savings of our precious natural resources.Doing volunteer work at a local nursing home brings love and warmth to the elderly.Just like the “starfish boy”， you may even inspire people around you to do the same， which is an added bonus .[9]Working together， we have the power to gradually but continuously advance our society.
　　[7]may have done结构表示对过去情况的推测；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词a small boy；过去分词短语left on the beach after a storm作后置定语，修饰名词starfish；by throwing ... 为“by＋动词-ing形式”构成的介词短语，在句中作状语。
　　[8]动词-ing短语believing ...作伴随状语；第一个that引导宾语从句；第二个that引导定语从句，修饰先行词the ones。
　　[9]动词-ing短语Working together作状语。
　　[10]So， dear students， take your first step into the adult world by accepting your responsibilities， so that adulthood will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both you and those around you.Sometimes， responsibilities may weigh heavily on you.[11]However， just as the Chinese saying goes， “Jade is good-for-nothing if not carved.”A man cannot be perfected without trials.[12]Sow the seeds of success today and your harvest will be great tomorrow.I wish you every success in your adult life！
　　[10]so that引导结果状语从句。
　　[11]as引导非限制性定语从句；if not carved为条件状语从句的省略，完整句子应为if it is not carved。
　　[12]本句为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”句型。

承担责任
　　尊敬的各位来宾、老师和学生们，我很高兴也很荣幸能够欢迎大家出席今天的典礼，并在这个特殊的时刻分享我的一些想法。
　　同学们，你们已经到了完全接受自己即将步入成年的时候了。我见证了你们从紧张的高一新生成长为自信的青年。今天，你们坐在我面前，准备好迎接你们生命的下一个阶段。对于即将到来的种种新体验，你们一定感到既兴奋又焦虑。不用担心，因为你们都是负责的年轻人，你们已经作好了充分的准备，能够成功应对未来的挑战。
　　在学校里，你们已经逐渐认识到具有高度责任感的重要性。你们明白你们应该为自己的成功和失败负责。希望你们已经学会不把责任当作困扰你们的重担，而是把它当作支持你们未来发展的基础。没有锚的船任凭风浪摆布；同样，没有责任感的人被自己粗心草率的行为所左右。
　　作为学生，你们必须认真对待自己的学业，并且对自己的学习负责。这意味着按时完成作业，听从老师的指导，当然还要永远追求学术上的卓越。然而，你们的责任远远不止学习。在日常生活中，你们会遇到许多困难的情况，在这些情况下事情可能会出错。与其急着责怪旁人，不如分析分析问题。而且如果确实是你们自己的错，就准备好承认错误，然后改正。这样，你们就践行了勇气的美德。无论你们打算做什么，无论会有多困难，都要全力以赴去做。这样，你们就践行了决心的美德。心口如一，言出必行。这样，你们就践行了正直的美德。在你们日常生活的各个方面承担责任，如此一来，将有助于你们塑造坚强的品格。
　　除了个人发展，为自己的行为承担责任对社会进步也很重要。社会是一个有机的整体，并且作为社会的一员，我们有责任作出贡献。你们可能听说过一个小男孩的故事，他试图把风暴过后留在海滩上的海星扔回海里，以拯救它们。路过的人们告诉他，他是在浪费自己的时间，因为他不可能拯救所有的海星。然而，小男孩并没有气馁，相信自己能影响那些被他救起的海星。结果，路人们受到了启发，纷纷和他一起拯救海星。同样，你所做的一件件小事也能有所影响！ 例如，在你们的邻里周围清理垃圾有助于建设一个更加清洁的环境。举报一辆超速行驶的汽车有助于确保道路安全。节约能源就是节约我们宝贵的自然资源。在一家当地养老院做义工能给老人们带去爱和温暖。就像“海星男孩”一样，你们甚至可能激励你周围的人也这么做，这就是一项额外的收获。如果我们共同努力，我们就有能力逐步而持续地推动我们的社会进步。
　　所以，亲爱的学生们，将承担责任作为你们迈入成人世界的第一步吧。这样对于你们和你们周围的人来说，成年都将是一段愉快而有益的经历。有时候，责任可能会是你们的一个重担。然而，正如中国谚语所说，“玉不琢，不成器。”一个人不经历考验就不可能完美。今天播下成功的种子，明天你们的收获将是巨大的。祝福你们的成年生活一切顺利！

Taking responsibility
　　[1]Honoured guests， teachers and students， it is my pleasure and
privilege① to welcome you here today and present my thoughts on this
special occasion②.
　　Students， the time has arrived for you to fully accept your passage③
into adulthood.[2]I have seen you grow from nervous Senior 1 students
into confident young adults， who sit before me today， ready to
embrace④ the next phase⑤ of your lives. You must be both excited and
anxious about the new experiences that are in store for⑥ you.[3]Don’t
worry， for you are all responsible young people， well prepared and well
equipped to successfully manage the challenges of the years ahead.
　　[1]it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to
welcome ...and present ...。
　　[2]who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词young adults；形容
词短语ready to embrace the next phase of your lives作状语。
　　[3]for为并列连词，意为“因为，由于”； are all
responsible ...， well prepared and well equipped ...是并列谓语。
【读文清障】
①privilege n.荣幸；特殊利益vt.给予特权，特别优待
②on this special occasion在这个特别的场合
③passage n.章节，段落；通道，走廊
④embrace vt.& vi.欣然接受；包含；拥抱
⑤phase n.阶段，时期
⑥in store （for sb） 即将发生（在某人身上），等待着（某人）
　　At school， you have gradually understood the importance of a well-
developed sense of responsibility⑦. You accept that you are responsible
for⑧ your successes and your failures.[4]Hopefully， you have learnt to
treat responsibility not as a weight that burdens⑨ you， but rather as a
foundation which will support your future development.A ship without an
anchor⑩ is at the mercy of the waves and winds； likewise ， a
person who has no sense of responsibility is at the mercy of their own
careless and thoughtless behaviour.
　　[4]该句结构较复杂，treat responsibility后面接了两个由介词as引
出的短语，由并列结构not ... but ...连接。每个as短语里又含有一
个定语从句，that burdens you修饰a weight，而which will support your
future development修饰a foundation。
⑦a well-developed sense of responsibility 一种高度的责任感
⑧be responsible for 对……负责
⑨burden vt.使担负（沉重或艰难的任务、职责等）；负重

　　As students， you must take your studies seriously and accept
responsibility for your own learning. This means meeting deadlines for
your schoolwork， following your teachers’ guidance ， and of
course， always aiming for academic excellence. However， your
responsibilities go far beyond your studies.[5]As you go through your
daily life， you will encounter many difficult situations where things
may go wrong . Instead of being quick to blame others， analyse the
problem， and if it is indeed your own fault ， be ready to admit your
mistake and then correct it.
This way， you practise the virtue of courage.[6]Always give your best
in whatever you set out to do， however difficult that might be. This way，
you practise the virtue of determination. Be honest by saying what you
mean and by meaning what you say.This way， you practise the virtue of
integrity .Taking responsibility in all aspects of your everyday life，
therefore， will help build a strong character.
　　[5]As引导时间状语从句，意为“随着……”；where引导定语
从句，修饰抽象名词situations。

instead of 而不是
fault n.过错，责任；弱点，缺点
virtue n.美德；正直的品性；优点
integrity n.诚实正直；完整，完好
　　Apart from personal development， assuming responsibility for your
actions is also important for the betterment of society.Society is an
organic whole， and as social beings， we have a responsibility to make
a contribution.[7]You may have heard the story of a small boy who tried
to save starfish left on the beach after a storm， by throwing them back
into the sea.Passers-by told him that he was wasting his time， for he
could not possibly save them all.
[8]However， the boy was not discouraged ， believing that he could
make a difference to the ones that he saved.As a result， the passers-by
felt inspired and joined him in saving the starfish.Similarly， the little
things you do can make a difference！For example， picking up garbage
around your neighbourhood contributes to a cleaner
environment.Reporting a speeding car helps ensure road safety.Being
energy-efficient leads to savings of our precious natural resources.Doing volunteer work at a local nursing home brings love and warmth to the elderly. Just like the “starfish boy”， you may even inspire people around you to do the same， which is an added bonus .[9]Working together， we have the power to gradually but continuously advance our society.
　　[7]may have done结构表示对过去情况的推测；who引导定语从
句，修饰先行词a small boy；过去分词短语left on the beach after a
storm作后置定语，修饰名词starfish；by throwing ... 为“by＋动词-

　　[8]动词-ing短语believing ...作伴随状语；第一个that引导宾语

　　[10]So， dear students， take your first step into the adult world by
accepting your responsibilities， so that adulthood will be an enjoyable
and rewarding experience for both you and those around
you.Sometimes， responsibilities may weigh heavily on
you.[11]However， just as the Chinese saying goes， “Jade is good-
for-nothing if not carved.”A man cannot be perfected without
trials.[12]Sow the seeds of success today and your harvest will be
great tomorrow.I wish you every success in your adult life！

承担责任
　　尊敬的各位来宾、老师和学生们，我很高兴也很荣幸能够欢迎大
家出席今天的典礼，并在这个特殊的时刻分享我的一些想法。
　　同学们，你们已经到了完全接受自己即将步入成年的时候了。我
见证了你们从紧张的高一新生成长为自信的青年。今天，你们坐在我
面前，准备好迎接你们生命的下一个阶段。对于即将到来的种种新体
验，你们一定感到既兴奋又焦虑。不用担心，因为你们都是负责的年
轻人，你们已经作好了充分的准备，能够成功应对未来的挑战。
　　在学校里，你们已经逐渐认识到具有高度责任感的重要性。你们
明白你们应该为自己的成功和失败负责。希望你们已经学会不把责任
当作困扰你们的重担，而是把它当作支持你们未来发展的基础。没有
锚的船任凭风浪摆布；同样，没有责任感的人被自己粗心草率的行为
所左右。
　　作为学生，你们必须认真对待自己的学业，并且对自己的学习负
责。这意味着按时完成作业，听从老师的指导，当然还要永远追求学
术上的卓越。然而，你们的责任远远不止学习。在日常生活中，你们
会遇到许多困难的情况，在这些情况下事情可能会出错。与其急着责
怪旁人，不如分析分析问题。而且如果确实是你们自己的错，就准备
好承认错误，然后改正。这样，你们就践行了勇气的美德。无论你们
打算做什么，无论会有多困难，都要全力以赴去做。这样，你们就践
行了决心的美德。心口如一，言出必行。这样，你们就践行了正直的
美德。在你们日常生活的各个方面承担责任，如此一来，将有助于你
们塑造坚强的品格。
　　除了个人发展，为自己的行为承担责任对社会进步也很重要。社
会是一个有机的整体，并且作为社会的一员，我们有责任作出贡献。
你们可能听说过一个小男孩的故事，他试图把风暴过后留在海滩上的
海星扔回海里，以拯救它们。路过的人们告诉他，他是在浪费自己的
时间，因为他不可能拯救所有的海星。然而，小男孩并没有气馁，相
信自己能影响那些被他救起的海星。结果，路人们受到了启发，纷纷
和他一起拯救海星。同样，你所做的一件件小事也能有所影响！ 例
如，在你们的邻里周围清理垃圾有助于建设一个更加清洁的环境。举
报一辆超
速行驶的汽车有助于确保道路安全。节约能源就是节约我们宝贵的自
然资源。在一家当地养老院做义工能给老人们带去爱和温暖。就像
“海星男孩”一样，你们甚至可能激励你周围的人也这么做，这就是
一项额外的收获。如果我们共同努力，我们就有能力逐步而持续地推
动我们的社会进步。
　　所以，亲爱的学生们，将承担责任作为你们迈入成人世界的第一
步吧。这样对于你们和你们周围的人来说，成年都将是一段愉快而有
益的经历。有时候，责任可能会是你们的一个重担。然而，正如中国
谚语所说，“玉不琢，不成器。”一个人不经历考验就不可能完美。
今天播下成功的种子，明天你们的收获将是巨大的。祝福你们的成年
生活一切顺利！

Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　I loaded The Ledger in the metal basket of my bicycle I called my
tank.Balloon tires （低压轮胎） mobilized the red-black heavy bike I had
found on a roadside left for the garbage man.In those days， the papers
had to be left on the steps.Some customers requested I put them between
the storm door and the front wooden door.
　　Saturday was collection day.When I knocked on the door， I never
knew what I was going to get.Old man Kusek shouted out of the back of
his kitchen， “I’ll pay you next week.” I made a note on his card that
this was the fifth week in a row he had shouted those same words.
　　Every week I had cold feet about charging for the newspapers at Mr
Schaefer’s house.As soon as I took the first step up， two German
Shepherds bolted （突然快跑） against the screen door.Their barking
always pushed me one step back from the door.“Don’t worry.They
won’t hurt you，” a voice shouted from inside the house.Mr Schaefer
came to the door to pay his bill with a dollar clenched （咬紧） between
his teeth while he held each dog by their collar.Grabbing the money from
his mouth， I turned and ran， thinking those fierce dogs were going to
break free and eat me alive.
　　Every two weeks， Mr Kloch from The Ledger would come to collect
the money.After I paid the amount， the rest was mine.Counting the
change was the fun part to see how much money I’d made.
　　My first job as a paperboy taught me about managing money，
serving customers， and accepting responsibility.I remember the time
when I was in a grocery store with my mother.A family approached us and
their little kid pointed at me and shouted，“That’s our paperboy！” I
felt proud at that moment and I still do today.

A. He rode a second-hand bike.
B. He carried a red-black basket.
C. He was accompanied by two dogs.
D. He stuck the papers in customers’ door.

2. What kind of man was Kusek in the author’s eyes？（　　）
A. He was far too sensitive.
B. He was very responsible.
C. He always broke his promise.

3. What does the underlined part “had cold feet” in Paragraph 3
probably mean？（　　）
A. Got curious. B. Became nervous.
C. Felt sorry. D. Looked confused.
解析：　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的two German
Shepherds ...barking always pushed me one step back from the door可
知，作者每周都要去Mr Schaefer家收报款，可是因为他家有两只凶
猛的德国牧羊犬，所以作者每次去他家收款都很害怕。get/have
cold feet意为“临阵胆怯；畏缩”。
4. What did the author think of his experience of being a paperboy？
（　　）
A. He expressed regret over it.
B. He showed no interest in it.

but it’s necessary to understand that it comes with the same kind of
mission a paid job has.Since you promise to do something， you need to
follow it through.5.（　　）
　　Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been volunteering for
years， think of what you’re doing.Here are some things you need to do
if you want to do your best：
　　Volunteer with a good attitude.You are doing something that you
really want to do.So put a smile on your face and show you want to be
there.6.（　　）
　　Follow the rules.7.（　　） Do your best to follow them because
they’ve been made for a reason.Periodically go over your job
description.If you don’t have a written one， ask your volunteer
coordinator whether or not you’re meeting expectations.
　　 8. （　　） If you see something that the volunteer coordinator
needs to know about， let him know as soon as possible.Or if you have a
better idea of getting the work done faster， share your thoughts with
him.It will do good to the cause.
　　Be flexible.You may be actively doing your given job when you

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何做好志愿者工作提
出了一些建议。
5. G　上文提到：做志愿者同样有使命，需要负责任。空处为本段最
后一句，应承接上文继续说明负责任的原因，故G项（人们都在依赖
你，你应该负责任地付出你的时间）符合语境。
6. C　根据上文可知，本段主要是关于志愿者态度的说明，上文提到
面带微笑表现出你想在那里做志愿者，由此可推测此处应表述的是需
要积极的态度，C项中的a positive attitude对应上文中的a good
attitude。故C项（如果你有积极的态度，你和你周围的每个人会更快
乐）符合语境。
7. E　根据上文Follow the rules.可知，本段的建议是遵守志愿者的规
则，下文中them指代E项中的a list of rules。故E项（有人可能已经给
了你一份规则列表，不管是书面的还是口头的）符合语境。
8. A　本空位于本段开头，根据第三、四、六段开头语可知，本空应
选祈使句作为本段的主旨句。根据下文中的let him know as soon as
possible和share your thoughts with him可知，本段提到要多和他人分享
自己的想法，即多和他人沟通。故A项（多交流）符合语境。
9. F　上文提到你可能在工作过程中注意到有其他的事情需要
做，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明如何应对这种情况。
故F项（不管这件事是什么，尽量去做，除非它违反了你组织的规
定）符合语境。

　　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

　　Mariana and other River Edge Rockers， their community soccer
team， dreamed of getting a regulation soccer field.She and her father
would attend the Town Council meeting that night.They would also get the
whole team there to convince the Council they needed a better field.
　　When they all arrived at the meeting hall and sat together，
Councilwoman Maloof opened the discussion， and Mr Boyd， the
Rockers’ manager， spoke first.“Our team currently practices in a tiny
school yard， and only when it’s not already booked.”The team
nodded immediately.
　　Mrs Yamagata， owner of Something Sushi， walked to the podium
（讲台）.“I believe the town owns an empty lot next to my
restaurant，” she said.“Couldn’t that be a soccer field？” The
Rockers cheered.
　　“A soccer field would be a good use for that lot，” Maloof
said.“But the town simply doesn’t have the money to build and
maintain one.”
　　“The Rockers can do it！” Mr Boyd spoke up.He began to
negotiate with the Council.“If the town lets the Rockers use the vacant
lot， we will turn it into a soccer field.”
　　After some discussion， the Council reached a decision.They
approved using that lot for a community soccer field.The team cheered.
　　The following day， at Something Sushi， the team got together to
share ideas for raising money.They finally decided to wash cars for their
community.On the day of the car wash， car owners lined up in the
middle school parking lot， where six wading pools （塑料浅水池） had
been set up.The team began washing carefully.By the end of the day，
the Rockers were soaked through （湿透） but excited about raising
$750.In the next few days， the Rockers also invited neighbours to donate
materials for building the field.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　A week later， the team gathered at the lot， carrying tools
purchased with their earnings or donated by

参考范文：
　　A week later， the team gathered at the lot， carrying tools purchased
with their earnings or donated by neighbours.Staring at the unused field of
dirt， rocks， and weeds， Mariana thought it was not the soccer field in
their dream.But she kicked into action with the others， cleaning up the
mess.There was a huge rock in the middle of the field and the team moved
it onto a rented truck.However， a gaping hole immediately
appeared.With everyone working together they moved enough soil from
the field’s edges to fill the hole.
　　Opening day attracted a huge crowd of soccer fans， all amazed by
the new field.Before the game， the Rockers gathered together.They did
it.Together they successfully turned an unseemly lot into their field of
dreams.Everyone was excited and they decided to get out there hand in
hand.Later， as the clock was running out on the 0∶0 score， Mariana
kicked the ball hard.When she saw it slip through the opposing goalie’s
hands， she realized that her dream had actually come true！
