【題目】Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.

There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （設(shè)備）lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I’m not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.

I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.

The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with “Volunteers Recruited” on its website.

This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.

【1】From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .

A. uses technology a lot B. works in a café

C. is a computer engineer D. likes modern music

【2】The underlined word” Recruited” in Paragraph 4 means” ”.

A. Ordered B. Wanted C. Visited D. Warned

【3】In the writer’s opinion, people should spend more time with technology.

A. working on computer programs B. keeping the Internet safe

C. inventing electronic products D. helping people in need

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Website Design B. Internet Organizations

C. Online Volunteering D. Online Translation

【答案】

【1】 A

【2】 B

【3】 D

【4】 C

【解析】

本文主要內(nèi)容：科學(xué)技術(shù)已經(jīng)滲透進了我們的生活，我們每天都在使用這些科技帶來的方便中。但作者認為我們應(yīng)該利用這些先進的技術(shù)去幫助別人，這樣才能體現(xiàn)出這些科技的力量。

【1】題意：從第2段我們可以知道作者______�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解題。A. uses technology a lot大量使用技術(shù)；B. works in a café在咖啡館工作；C. is a computer engineer是個電腦工程師；D. likes modern music 喜歡現(xiàn)代音樂。題目問到的是短文第二段，仔細閱讀這一段我們可以知道，這一段的第一句話是該段的中心句，根據(jù)這句話There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（設(shè)備） lying around in it.的意思可知，在作者的家里，沒有一個房間里是沒有電子設(shè)備的，也就是說作者使用非常多的電子設(shè)備，下面的文字作者舉例來說明，如television, laptop, mobile phone等，故應(yīng)選A。

【2】題意：第4段中“Recruited”的下劃線意思是“_____”。A. Ordered下令；B. Wanted通緝犯；C. Visited訪問；D. Warned 警告。考查詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該段中I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world.可知，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上有很多在線志愿活動，而這句話說的就是聯(lián)合國在網(wǎng)上招募志愿者的一個網(wǎng)站，由此我們可以知道劃線這個單詞應(yīng)該是“招聘”的意思，與wanted同義，故選B。

【3】題意：在作者看來，人們應(yīng)該花更多的時間利用技術(shù)______�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解題。A. working on computer programs操作計算機程序；B. keeping the Internet safe保持互聯(lián)網(wǎng)安全；

C. inventing electronic products發(fā)明電子產(chǎn)品；D. helping people in need幫助需要幫助的人。根據(jù)短文第三段中I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering以及下一段的開頭The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others可知，作者覺得自己浪費了很多時間在電腦上，這些時間他可以更好的利用起來去從事一些網(wǎng)上的志愿者工作。由此我們可以知道，作者認為人們應(yīng)該花費一點時間去幫助別人。故應(yīng)選D。

【4】題意：這篇文章最好的標(biāo)題是什么？考查主旨大意題。A. Website Design網(wǎng)站設(shè)計；B. Internet Organizations互聯(lián)網(wǎng)組織；C. Online Volunteering在線志愿服務(wù)；D. Online Translation 在線翻譯。這篇短文開頭部分作者講述了我們周圍無處不在使用著科學(xué)技術(shù)，短文的第一段中What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others點明文章的主題，從短文的第三段開始，作者對文章主題進行展開論述，即我們應(yīng)該利用這些技術(shù)去做一些在線的志愿者活動，去幫助別人，所以C選項Online volunteering在線志愿者活動這個題目能點明文章的主題，故選C。

這篇短文講述的是現(xiàn)在我們應(yīng)該利用我們周圍無處不存在著先進的技術(shù)去幫助別人。短文主題明確、突出，線索也非常清楚，比較有利于學(xué)生們的做題。后面的題目設(shè)置包括細節(jié)理解、詞義猜測和主旨大意題。細節(jié)題都可以在短文中尋找到相關(guān)信息去作答，例如第1小題，這個題目涉及的是短文第二段的內(nèi)容， 因此我們只需要弄清楚第二段的大意就行，這一段的主題句是第一句話，根據(jù)這一句我們可以知道，這里作者介紹的是他家里的各種各樣的電子設(shè)備，說明他在平時的生活中大量的使用了這些設(shè)備，故應(yīng)選A。

【題目】“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity(機會) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations(期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.

★ Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.

★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.

★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.

★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “... little things can change a person's life.”

【1】Volunteering can help .

A. make a decision

B. see the world clearly

C. make person's life better

【2】What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?

A. They don't have enough time.

B. They are prevented by their families.

C. They fear that their abilities are shared.

【3】The underlined word “veteran” in the passage means “ ”．

A. polite

B. humorous

C. experienced

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. To tell people to make changes in their lives.

B. To encourage people to start their volunteering.

C. How to make great achievements in volunteering.

Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.

How much sleep do we actually need?

It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24. we're at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly there is no storage system for sleep in the brain.

Can we train ourselves to need less sleep?

As a study in 1964, a 17-year-old boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could do anything close to that without dying?

When you are reading this, you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don’t get behind the wheel thinking they're probably going to kill someone.

Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping?

Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for four to six hours before bedtime.

Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality?

A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above.
