解答 41．答案：A．語義猜測題，根據(jù)Voluntary work can be a very helpful experience．可知：志愿者工作可以是一種很有用的經(jīng)歷．下文It can help people build self-confidence （自信） and improve their communication skills．可知：它能幫助人們建立自信，提高交際能力．這里介紹志愿者工作的好處，It代替Voluntary work，故選：A．
42．答案：B．詞義猜測題，根據(jù)上文Volunteering at nursing homes not only helps the volunteer improve himself/herself，but also is good for the people of the home．Volunteers can help people of the home cut their hair or play games with them，or volunteers just visit the people there．可知：在療養(yǎng)院做義工不僅有助于提升自己，而且對療養(yǎng)院里的人有好處．志愿者可以幫助他們理發(fā)或玩游戲，或者志愿者只是看望那里的人．可以推斷出這些活動對療養(yǎng)院里的人有幫助．由此猜測出：beneficial意思為helpful；故選：B．
