Question

【題目】With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering are great to you, your family, and your community(社區(qū)).

One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the effect on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect with your community and make it a better place. Volunteering also strengthens your ties to the community and broadens your support network, exposing(使暴露) you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and fun and satisfactory activities.

While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests. Once you have the desire, it’s easier to make more friends and contacts.

Volunteering provides many benefits for both mental and physical health. You’re doing good to others and the community, which makes you experience the pleasure of success. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity.

Reducing the risk of depression(沮喪) is another important benefit of volunteering. A key risk factor for depression is social isolation. Volunteering keeps you in regular contact with others and helps you develop a solid support system, which in turn protects you against stress and depression when you’re going through challenging times. Volunteering is good for your health whether you are young or old, but it’s especially good in older adults.

Volunteering offers you the chance to try out a new career without making a long-term commitment. It is also a great way to gain experience in a new field. Volunteering work can expose you to professional organizations or internship（實習(xí)）that could be of benefit to your career. That volunteer work is unpaid doesn’t mean the skills you learn are basic. Many volunteering opportunities provide training. In addition, volunteering can also help you build upon skills you already have and use them to benefit the greater community.

Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions. Volunteer opportunities that match both your goals and your interest are most likely to be fun and satisfying for you. Doing volunteer work you find meaningful and interesting can be a relaxing escape from your day-to-day routines of work, school, and family commitments. Volunteering also provides you with renewed creativity, motivation, and vision that can be carried over into your personal and professional life.

【解析】文章介紹做志愿者工作的好處。

考查學(xué)生的閱讀能力，以及信息捕捉能力。

【1】信息捕捉題。根據(jù)文章第二段的句子Volunteering allows you to connect with your community可知志愿工作能讓把你和其他人聯(lián)系在一起。根據(jù)表格下面敘述志愿工作好處的用詞being，advancing和bringing，可知這里用connecting。

【2】信息捕捉題。根據(jù)文章第二段的句子Volunteering also strengthens your ties to the community and broadens your support network, exposing(使暴露) you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and fun and satisfactory activities.可知志愿工作能擴大你的朋友圈，讓你接觸到不同的人。故用broaden。

【3】信息捕捉，原詞再現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests.整合句意可知“經(jīng)常和有相同興趣的人見面能幫助提高你的社會技能�！�故用social。

【4】信息捕捉，詞性轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)第四段第一句Volunteering provides many benefits for both mental and physical health.這里用副詞形式和副詞physically對應(yīng)，故用mentally。

【5】信息整合題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity.提到a sense of pride and identity，故這里缺少句子You’re doing good to others and the community, which makes you experience the pleasure of success.中提到的”體驗成功的快樂”，也就是成功感。故這里用success。

【6】信息整合題。根據(jù)第五段的句子Volunteering is good for your health whether you are young or old，無論你年輕還是年老，志愿工作對你的身體都有好處。其中whether you are young or old可用“無論什么年齡regardless of age”替換，故用age。

【7】信息捕捉，詞性轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)第六段的句子Volunteering work can expose you to professional organizations or internship（實習(xí)）that could be of benefit to your career.句中的 be of benefit to=be beneficial to。故這里用beneficial。

【8】信息整合題。這里總結(jié)志愿工作的最后一個好處。根據(jù)文章最后一段內(nèi)容Volunteer opportunities that match both your goals and your interest are most likely to be fun and satisfying for you.把你的目標(biāo)和興趣聯(lián)系在一起的志愿機會有可能對你來說有趣并令人滿意。可知志愿機會給你的生活帶來快樂和滿意。這里用名詞satisfaction。

【9】信息整合題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的句子Doing volunteer work you find meaningful and interesting can be a relaxing escape from your day-to-day routines of work, school, and family commitments.可知做你認(rèn)為有趣有意義的志愿工作讓你感覺放松。故用relaxed。

【10】信息整合題。根據(jù)文章最后一句Volunteering also provides you with renewed creativity, motivation, and vision that can be carried over into your personal and professional life.志愿工作也能提供給你全新的創(chuàng)意，動力和眼界，這些都能繼續(xù)存在于你的個人和職業(yè)生活中。這里用continue to exist 表示“繼續(xù)存在”，故用continue。
