www.ks5u.com 话题六　公益事业与志愿服务(A)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A ‎[2019·全国Ⅱ卷B]“You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse (长曲棍球) club.‎ I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug_at_the_heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I'll do it.”‎ I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for endofseason gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.‎ Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community (社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.‎ In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?‎ ‎1．What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?‎ A．She knows little about the club.‎ B．She isn't good at sports.‎ C．She just doesn't want to volunteer.‎ D．She's unable to meet her schedule.‎ ‎2．What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Encourage teamwork. B．Appeal to feelings.‎ C．Promote good deeds. D．Provide advice.‎ ‎3．What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?‎ A．She gets interested in lacrosse.‎ B．She is proud of her kids.‎ C．She'll work for another season.‎ D．She becomes a good helper.‎ ‎4．Why does the author like doing volunteer work?‎ A．It gives her a sense of duty.‎ B．It makes her very happy.‎ C．It enables her to work hard.‎ D．It brings her material rewards.‎ B ‎[2020·济南市高三学习质量针对性检测]Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.‎ ‎ In 2014, Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village. “I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin，” said Lakhani. “It's difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only $ 1.50 every day, you won't spend $ 1 on a bar of soap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don't stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don't really understand where diseases come from, they don't know how to prevent them, including using soap.”‎ ‎ After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap. “They were all eager to help，” he explained.‎ ‎ Lakhani registered EcoSoap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.‎ ‎ Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 35 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene(卫生) has been improved for about 661,000 people. “We are killing_three_birds with one stone，” Lakhani said.‎ ‎ When it comes to the future of EcoSoap Bank, Lakhani said, “We've just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We're looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”‎ ‎5．Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don't use soap?‎ A．Poverty. B．Inaccessibility.‎ C．Unawareness. D．Tradition.‎ ‎6．What does the underlined part “killing three birds” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A．Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.‎ B．Stopping pollution, providing jobs and inspiring ‎ donation.‎ C．Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.‎ D．Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.‎ ‎7．What can we infer about EcoSoap Bank?‎ A．It won't be long before it expands to the whole world.‎ B．There's little it can do without other countries' assistance.‎ C．It will make greater contributions to the developing world.‎ D．It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.‎ ‎8．What do we know about the text?‎ A．EcoSoap Bank helps improve hygiene.‎ B．Cambodian women have a bright future.‎ C．A US young man calls for helping poor countries.‎ D．Lack of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 A couple in ordinary clothes walked into the Harvard's outer office. “We want to see the president，” the man said softly. “He will be busy all day，” the secretary spoke __1__， concluding that the couple had no __2__ with Harvard from what they wore. “We'll wait，” the lady replied.‎ Four hours later, the couple didn't go away.
