Volunteer with Red Cross
Volunteering expands your skills and experience, increases your employability and is a way to stay active and engaged with the community. It’s also a way for you to give back to the community and help people who need a hand. Here are some of our community services:
Aged Care Services for older people
Our social support and aged care services provide a range of support for older people.They can be matched one-on-one with a volunteer, receive regular caring welfare calls, be driven to appointments, be provided with a personal alarm or be delivered a healthy meal.We can also support them to access appropriate housing and care.
Homelessness Services
Red Cross believes that everyone deserves a home that is safe, secure and affordable. In an average year, Red Cross helps 2,180 people to find housing, supports 1,360 people at risk of becoming homeless, and provides 43,400 meals for people experiencing hardship.
We support people who are at risk of losing their rental property by negotiating with landlords(房东) or finding more suitable accommodation. We also help clients to man age the potential issues which contribute to their housing problems, including income management,misuse of alcohol or other drugs.
We build life skills by supporting people who have been homeless to develop community connection and friendship through one-on-one matching with a volunteer, providing education and training support, and teaching first-aid skills. These new connections and skills make a big difference, helping people move out of cycles of homelessness.
Mental Health Support Services
Red Cross provides mental health support services and programs that promote the participation of people with a men tal illness in the community and support the well-being of young people. Red Cross wants to support those people to be more independent, to improve their well-being and social connection, and to build their confidence and skills.
1. What support do Aged Care Services and Homelessness Services both provide?
A. Training support. B. One-on-one service.
C. Regular welfare calls. D. Free accommodation.
2. How does Red Cross help people at risk of becoming homeless?
A. By teaching money management.
B. By maintaining friendship with landlords.

It was dark as Ibrahim Al Hussein came to. He couldn’t move and thick dust filled the air, blocking out all but a few small flames dancing close by. It was hard to breathe. Something wasn’t right and he could not feel his foot. As the smoke of the bombing cleared Al Hussein was saved but lost his lower right leg forever.
After several twists and turns, Al Hussein managed to escape from war-torn Syria to Athens, Greece. With no money left on him, he had to sleep on the streets and look for fruit in trees or eat grass from the park. Luckily, he later found work cleaning toilets at a local cafe. He worked every day of the week with no breaks and was proud to be supporting himself. But he was missing something — sport.
Al Hussein used to be a sportsman. As war broke out in Syria in 2011, all sports stadiums were forced to close, but now settled and safe in Athens, he was desperate to return to physical activity. In May, 2015, his prayers were answered. A swimming club gave him permission to train there.
“When I looked at the address I realised it was the Athens Aquatics Centre,” says Al Hussein, who, at the age of 16, had watched the 2004 Olympics unfold on a small TV in his cosy Syrian home. “Seeing those Olympics gave me motivation to do sport and although it was a flashback to the past, it was also a look to a better future because I had made it to the pool I’d watched and dreamt of swimming in.”
For much of 2015 he swam in the morning and then worked at the cafe until late in the evening. It was tough, but it worked for him and, in early 2016, he secured two medals at the Greek Para Swimming National Championships. People began to take note.
4. What caused Al Hussein to lose his lower right leg?
A. A war. B. A fire. C. An illness. D. An accident.
5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Why Al Hussein worked hard. B. How Al Hussein survived in Greece.
C. Why Al Hussein missed sport. D. How Al Hussein escaped from Syria.
6. What can be inferred about the Athens Aquatics Centre?
A. It was forced to close in 2011. B. Al Hussein went there at age 16.
C. It used to be a swimming club. D. The 2004 Olympics were held there.
7. Which of the following can best describe Al Hussein?
A. Independent but proud. B. Motivated but stubborn.
C. Ambitious and religious. D. Hardworking and optimistic
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D
【解析】

主旨大意题。根据第二段“After several twists and turns, Al Hussein managed to escape from war-torn Syria to Athens, Greece. With no money left on him, he had to sleep on the streets and look for fruit in trees or eat grass from the park. Luckily, he later found work cleaning toilets at a local cafe. ”(经过几次曲折,阿尔・侯赛因成功逃离战火纷飞的叙利亚,来到希腊雅典。身上没有钱,他不得不睡在街上,在树上寻找水果,或者吃公园里的草。幸运的是,他后来在当地一家咖啡馆找到了清洁厕所的工作。)介绍了侯赛因从叙利亚成功逃脱来到了雅典后的谋生方式,即本段主要叙述了侯赛因在希腊的生存方式。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““When I looked at the address I realised it was the Athens Aquatics Centre,” says Al Hussein, who, at the age of 16, had watched the 2004 Olympics unfold on a small TV in his cosy Syrian home.”(“当我看到这个地址时,我意识到这里是雅典水上运动中心,”16岁的阿尔•侯赛因在叙利亚舒适的家中,通过一台小电视观看了2004年奥运会的比赛。)可知,雅典水上运动中心举办了2004年的奥运会的水上比赛项目。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“He worked every day of the week with no breaks ”(他每天都工作,没有休息)可知,侯赛因是很努力的,再根据最后一段中“For much of 2015 he swam in the morning and then worked at the cafe until late in the evening.It was tough, but it worked for him ”(2015年的大部分时间,他都是早上游泳,然后在咖啡馆工作到深夜。虽然(条件)很艰难,但对他来说很有效)可看出侯赛对于训练场地的艰苦状况并没有屈服,说明他是乐观的。故选D。
C
Endangered polar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.
As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种).
With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, hybrids aren't better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources, ” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.
The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears' decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears' ranges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears' highly specialized diets.
“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.
“We're having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad but necessary compromise given current warming trends.”
8. Why do polar bears move further south?
A. To create hybrids. B. To expand territory.
C. To relieve hunger. D. To contact grizzlies.
9. What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents?
A. Broader habitats. B. More food options.
C. Climate preference. D. Improved breeding ability.
10. What does the underlined phrase “a tipping point” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. A rare chance. B. A critical stage.
C. A positive factor. D. A constant change.
11. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.
B. Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change.
C. “Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.
D. “Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于气候变暖,濒危北极熊正在与灰熊一起繁殖,创造出“小灰熊”,杂交的“小灰熊”数量正在增加,这说明全球气候正在变得更糟糕。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards.”(随着世界变暖和北极海冰变薄,饥饿的北极熊被迫越来越向南,在那里它们遇到灰熊,灰熊的活动范围正在向北扩展。)可知北极熊向南迁移是为了缓解饥饿。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“'Usually, hybrids aren't better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources, ' Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.”(范德比尔特大学(Vanderbilt University)生物科学副教授拉里萨·德桑蒂斯(Larisa DeSantis)对《生活科学》(Live Science)说:“通常情况下,杂交种并不比它们的父母更适合它们的环境,但这些杂交种能够寻找更广泛的食物来源。”。)可知更多的食物选择让“小熊”比它们的父母更能适应自然环境。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段划线词后文“Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them.”(事实上,他们从这些来源获得的热量并不能抵消他们在寻找这些来源时燃烧的热量。)及下一句“This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.”(这可能会导致一个栖息地准备好让杂交熊迁入并接管,如果北极熊被取代,将导致生物多样性的损失。)可知,无法找到食物来源,北极熊很可能被灰熊取代,处于生存的关键点。划线句“Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.”(尽管所有这些饥饿的北极熊都在努力寻找其他食物来源,比如海鸟蛋,但这可能是它们生存的转折点。),be a tipping point“转折点”,相当于A critical stage(关键阶段)。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears , creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.”(科学家称,受气候变化的驱动,濒危北极熊正在与灰熊一起繁殖,创造出“小灰熊”。)和倒数第二段“This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.”(这可能会导致一个栖息地准备好让杂交熊迁入并接管,如果北极熊被取代,将导致生物多样性的损失。)以及文章大意,可知由于全球变暖,“小熊”的数量正在上升。故选C项。
D
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. They’re also in serious danger——climate change and other threats are killing them off. But researchers have come up with an invention they think could help the reefs: 3D-printed corals.
At the heart of reef ecosystems lies a symbiosis (共生关系) between corals and algae (藻类). Corals use light and they’re photosynthesizing (光合作用). The algae inside corals’ tissues (组织) make use of the light to generate energy, and that energy is then transferred to the coral animal host. That animal host, in return, transfers certain by-products to the algae, so they have a symbiosis going on.
This bond between algae and corals is what makes reefs so incredibly productive.Because of this symbiosis, corals have evolved complex skeletal (骨骼的) and tissue structures for collecting sunlight which usually fades rapidly. Through the skeleton, light is pumped and guided into deeper, otherwise shaded areas.
Scientists copied some tricks that corals use. They imaged corals to analyze their skeletal and tissue makeup and then used a 3D bioprinter to build a complicated structure that mimics real corals. The printed corals were made of biomaterials like cellulose (纤维素) and had algae planted in them.
The researchers replicated (复制) coral structure so well that the algae grew very quickly—— up to 100 times more densely than they normally grow in the lab. The 3D-printed creation could be used as a medium to grow algae to produce bioenergy and also as a tool for studying the coral-algae symbiosis.
Of course, there are many other ways this technology can be further scaled and improved to create something like artificial corals in the future. So this is just the first step,where they created the animal host, but they are now continuing to further replicate this animal-algal symbiosis and developing model systems. Eventually, it would be nice that this can have direct applications in coral reef restoration.
12. What is the function of the algae inside corals’ tissues?
A. To perform photosynthesis.
B. To pump light into shaded areas.
C. To produce energy needed by their host.
D To build complex skeletal structures.
13. What do algae get in the symbiotic relationship with corals?
A. Stronger tissues. B. Certain by-products.
C. Biomaterials like cellulose. D. An animal host.
14. Scientists use 3D-printed coral structure to .
A. make a study of the coral-algae symbiosis
B. strengthen the bond between algae and corals
C. change ocean conditions for corals to survive
D. remove the harmful algae inside the tissues of corals
15. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Fantastic Coexistence of Corals and Algae
B. Corals Evolving Symbiosis to Avoid Extinction
C. Coral Reefs: Productive but Endangered Ecosystem
D. 3D-Printed Technology Hopefully Saving Coral Reefs
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D打印珊瑚可以减轻珊瑚礁的压力,从而起到保护珊瑚礁的作用。。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中第三句话“The algae inside corals’ tissues (组织) make use of the light to generate energy,and that energy is then transferred to the coral animal host. (珊瑚的组织内的藻类用光产生能量,之后能量被转移到珊瑚虫宿主身上)”可知,珊瑚组织内的藻类作用是利用光产生珊瑚虫宿主需要的能量。故选 C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中最后一句话“That animal host, in return, transfers certain by-products to the algae, so they have a symbiosis going on. (珊瑚虫宿主又反过来将某些副产品转移给藻类,这样它们就形成了共生关系)”可知,藻类在与珊瑚的共生关系中得到某些副产品。故选B 。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第五段中最后一句话“The 3D-printed creation could be used as a medium to grow algae to produce bioener gy and also as a tool for studying the coral-algae symbiosis. (3D打印出来的珊瑚可用作媒介,来种植产生生物能源的藻类,也可以作为研究珊瑚与藻类共生关系的工具)”可知,科学家利用3D打印的珊瑚结构研究珊瑚与藻类的共生关系。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后一句“But researchers have come up with an invention they think could help the reefs: 3D-printed corals. (但是研究人员想出了他们认为可以帮助珊瑚礁的发明:3D打印珊瑚)”以及最后一段中第二句话“So this is just the first step, where they created the animal host, but they are now continuing to further replicate this animal-algal symbiosis and developing model systems. Eventually, it would be nice that this can have direct applications in coral reef restoration. (因此这只是他们创造动物宿主的第一步,但他们在继续进一步复制这种动物与藻类共生关系并计划开发模型系统。当然,这项技术能够直接应用于珊瑚礁的修复就更好了)”可知,本篇文章主要介绍了3D打印珊瑚可以减轻珊瑚礁的压力,从而起到保护珊瑚礁的作用。所以“3D打印技术有望拯救珊瑚礁”适合作本文的标题。故选D。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ahh... Fish, chips and mushy peas! There is nothing more British than fish and chips. Freshly cooked, boiling hot fish and chips, topped with salt and seasoned with vinegar, packed in newspaper and eaten out-of-doors on a cold and wintry day — it simply cannot be beaten!
____16____
Both Lancashire and London claim to be the first to invent this famous meal. Chips were a cheap, basic food of the industrial north while fried fish was introduced in London’s East End. ____17____ So was born our national dish of fish and chips!
____18____ Mr. Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden shelter in the market. Later he moved the business to a permanent shop across the road. However in London it is said that Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Way within the sound of Bow Bells in the 1860s.
Fish and chip shops were originally small family businesses, often run from the front room of the house and were commonplace by the late 19th century. Through the latter part of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, the fish and chip trade expanded greatly to satisfy the needs of the growing industrial population of Great Britain. Fish and chips became vital to the diet of the ordinary people. ____19____
In 1999, the British consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips. That equates to six servings for every man, woman and child in the country. ____20____ That’s eight for every one Burger King restaurant, making British Fish and Chips the nation’s favourite take-away.
A. It quickly became a favourite of the workers.
B. People soon decided to put fried fish and chips together.
C John Lees owned a restaurant and sold the famous pairing.
D. So how, when and where did this British dish come about?
E. There are now around 8,500 fish and chip shops across the UK.
F. Some shops had to employ doormen to control the queue at busy times.
G. The first fish and chip shop in Lancashire is thought to have opened in 1863.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英式美食炸鱼和炸薯条的诞生过程。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Both Lancashire and London claim to be the first to invent this famous meal. (兰开夏郡和伦敦都声称自己是第一个发明这种著名大餐的人。)”以及下文的介绍可知是讲述英式美食炸鱼和炸薯条的诞生过程,故D项“那么,这道英国菜是如何、什么时候、从哪里传来的呢?”符合题意,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Chips were a cheap, basic food of the industrial north while fried fish was introduced in London’s East End. (薯条是北方工业地区的一种廉价的基本食物,而炸鱼则在伦敦东区被引进。)”和设空处的下文“(我们的国菜炸鱼薯条就这样诞生了!)”由此可知是这个时候人们把炸鱼和炸薯条放在一起食用,便有了炸鱼薯条的诞生,故选B。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Mr. Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden shelter in the market. Later he moved the business to a permanent shop across the road. However in London, it is said that Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Way within the sound of Bow Bells in the 1860s. (Lees先生在市场上的木制居所卖炸鱼和薯条。后来,他把公司搬到了马路对面的一家永久商店。然而,在伦敦,据说约瑟夫·马林,一个犹太移民,在克利夫兰路开了一家炸鱼薯条店。)”由此可知,这一段主要讨论的是第一家开设炸鱼和薯条商店的,G项“兰开夏郡的第一家炸鱼薯条店据说于1863年开业。”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Through the latter part of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, the fish and chip trade expanded greatly to satisfy the needs of the growing industrial population of Great Britain. Fish and chips became vital to the diet of the ordinary people.( 从19世纪下半叶到20世纪,炸鱼和薯条贸易大大扩张,以满足英国不断增长的工业人口的需求。炸鱼和薯条对普通人的饮食至关重要。) ”可知本段主要讲炸鱼和薯条成为越来越重要的饮食,被大众所接受,F项“有些商店在繁忙时不得不雇佣门卫来控制排队。”承接上文,符合题意,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“In 1999, the British consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips. That equates to six servings for every man, woman and child in the country. (1999年,英国食用了近3亿份炸鱼和薯条。这相当于这个国家的每个男人、女人和孩子都吃六份。)”可知英国人都喜欢吃炸鱼和薯条,所以可推断在英国有很多的炸鱼和薯条店,因此E项“现在在英国大约有8500家炸鱼薯条店。”符合语境,故选E。

Chinese people’s reading habits
The chart about Chinese people’s reading rates shows that digital reading is more popular than reading printed materials, with close to 70% of people choosing digital materials.
At least two main reasons can be identified to account for the phenomenon. First, the popularity of digital materials makes it convenient and affordable for people to download and read them on the Internet. Besides, with digital devices easy to carry around, people can enjoy the fun of reading anytime anywhere on digital devices.
Personally, no matter which reading method, online or traditional, people should be encouraged to read more and incorporate more traditional reading into their lives, like visiting the library and participating in book exchange activities. Once people develop the habit of reading, their enjoyment will grow, one page at a time.

47. 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。
When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock?” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” What Dad said was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety. However, that was one of our family rules, so I had to do the dishes reluctantly. The clinking of dishes were disquieting sounds from hell to me, reminding me that the clock was ticking second by second. After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I rushed into my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. Without much time left, I finished the assignment in a hurry. The next day, I handed in it nervously.
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days. My life seemed in a mess these days, arising from my loose attitude and chaotic schedule. My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project. Out of guilt, I explained to my teacher and promised this would never happen again. After this experience, I eventually comprehended the importance of time, and began to arrange for my schedule with caution. With confidence, I was firmly convinced that I could get a satisfying score in the next assignment.
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了合理安排时间的重要性。老师给作者所在的班级布置了一项任务,作者只有两个晚上的时间来完成它,但她认为自己可以很快完成这项任务,所以第一天晚上根本没有做这个任务。她本打算第二天晚上完成,但却又因为去参加棒球训练和去朋友家装饰饼干耽误了时间。当作者返回家中,正打算完成这项任务时,又被打断了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在我要开始的时候,爸爸说:“乔安娜,轮到你洗碗了。””可知,第一段可描写作者因为洗碗又耽误了时间及作者的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“看着我纸张上的大大的“F”,我开始反思我这些天所做的事情。”可知,第二段可描写作者对自己浪费时间的行为的反思及反思后的行动。
2.续写线索:开始洗碗——感到焦虑——洗碗结束——完成作业——反思过去——明白时间的重要性——向老师道歉——重拾信心
3.词汇激活
