The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteer don’t expect any kind of pay.

At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.

“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends, I flew to Caltutta for a few weeks.”

“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets and passed out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”

24. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who_______.

A. is willing to help those in need without pay B. can afford to travel to different places

C. has a strong wish to be successful D. has made a big fortune in life

25. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?

A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.

B. She had already had some experience.

C. She was asked by Mother Teresa.

D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.

26. What is Tracy’s “new idea” (in paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?

A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.

C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Improving oneself through helping others.

27. What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to Be a Volunteer. B. Voluntary Life in India.

C. A Different Meaning of Volunteer. D. Inspiration from Mother Teresa.

C

A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag which results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems in thinking clearly and remembering.

Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.

The researcher took some saliva from the women’s mouths to measure levels of a hormone (荷尔蒙) that increases during stress. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain’s temporal lobes (脑叶).

It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.

The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.

Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.

32. What causes jet lag according to the passage?

A. Having a long trip. B. Flying across many countries.

C. Making lengthy flight journeys. D. Traveling across several time zones.

33. What are the second and third paragraphs about?

A. The process of the study. B. The result of the study.

C. The meaning of the study. D. The preparation of the study.

34. What did the researcher find about his jet lag study?

A. The women who have longer flights fail the memory test.

B. The women who have longer rest at home show better memory.

C. The women who rest more than 14 days produce more hormones.

D. The women who have less time in flight have smaller right temporal lobes.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Solution to Jet Lag B. Influences of Jet Lag on the Brain

C. Jet Lag PermanentlyAffects Memory D. FlightAttendants’BrainsAre in Danger

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.

Go to class. If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important. As a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.    36 .

Take good notes. Try not to write down everything.    37 . Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.

   38 . If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy(同情)for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.

Take part in class discussions.   39  . Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation(参与)and your focus during the class discussion. If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class. This helps you make your point clear in class.

Form study group. Get students together who want to do well in class. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it.    40  . Sometimes group sessions(上课时间)can become chatting sessions.

A. But be careful!

B. Don't be late for your class.

C. Talk to your teacher if you need help.

D. You should write down all the new terms.

E. So if you want to study well, go to every class.

F. All you need is to put down the main points in your own words.

G. In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions.

Dear John,

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from TikTok addiction. Actually, it is commonly seen that more and more teenagers get crazy about TikTok and spend a lot of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes them unable to focus on study. Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to stop it. You should start some other hobbies, such as reading, listening to music or playing chess. Besides, you had better make more friends through face to face communication.

I sincerely hope that these ideas can help you with the problem.（94words）

Best wishes!

Yours,

4   【原文】M: I’d like to send the parcel to Britain by express mail.

W: OK,the standard postage is $90. But since it’s overweight,you have to pay extra and that’s $15.

M: All right,here you go

5原文】W: Good evening, sir. What can I do for you?

M: Oh, I booked a table by the window just now, I’m Mr. Black.

W: OK, this way please.

6【原文】M: Hi, Emma, the summer holiday is coming. Do you have any arrangements for it?

W: I plan to go to Paris, but my parents prefer Rome.

M: Paris is a perfect destination. Last year, I went to Paris and visited many famous attractions.

W: Oh, really? What impressed you most there?

M: I visited the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille, etc, but I think the Louvre is the most impressive.

W: I can’t wait to go there.

7【原文】W: Hey, I haven’t seen you for a long time. What are you busy doing now?

M: Oh, I just got a new job.

W: Why? The salary of your former job was high.

M: Yeah, but it’s not my dream job.

W: So what is your dream job?

M: I want to be a doctor, because it can help people to get rid of the pains and diseases. What about your dream job?

W: I think my personal dream job is always changing. But in fact, I really had a dream of becoming an astronaut when I was a child.

W: Thank you.

M: Norah, you said that our position in the family affects our character in your new book? So tell us a bit about the oldest children in the family first.

W: Well, the oldest children get maximum attention from their parents and the result is that they’re usually quite self-confident people. They are also responsible because they often have to look after their younger brothers or sisters.

M: What about the middle children?

W: Well, they are usually independent and competitive.

M: Competitive?

W: Yes, because they have to fight with brothers or sisters for their parents’ attention. They’re usually sociable because they always have other children to play with.

M: That’s very interesting. I’m an only child in my family. What’s your impression of people like me?

W: They’re usually very organized and responsible, and they can be very imaginative, too.

M: Thank you for your sharing, Norah, and good luck with your new book.
