Question

19．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 on homes for homeless children，and picking up garbage （垃圾） from beaches and parks．Volunteers may work within their countries or in other countries．They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves．Volunteers 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（錄像） 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 too wanted to try her kind of work．So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks．"
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people．I helped wash clothes and sheets，and pass out lunch．I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the 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（文化） that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world．"

Answer 1

分析 主要介紹了志愿者的志愿活動(dòng)，并以作者Tracy自己的體會(huì)來(lái)說(shuō)明這項(xiàng)工作的意義和價(jià)值，而且Tracy也是深受媽媽的影響的．

解答 21．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段的"one who offers his or her services…．Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay"來(lái)判斷．志愿者就是指義務(wù)勞動(dòng)而不獲取任何報(bào)酬的人；故選A．
22．B．細(xì)節(jié)判斷題．根據(jù)第三段中的"after I graduated from high school…I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks"可知，她是在中學(xué)畢業(yè)后從事志愿工作的．故選B．
23．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段"I was so moved by her spirit…I too wanted to try her kind of work．"可知，她從事志愿工作是受到媽媽的影響的．故選D．
24．D．詞意猜測(cè)題．第三、四段都是講述她的new idea的經(jīng)歷的，從文中最后一句可知new idea的含義為通過(guò)幫助別人來(lái)提高自我．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是社會(huì)文化類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
