Aside from doing schoolwork and studying,American students must also participate in various extra-curricular activities.Many students get involved in their communities by doing volunteer work at various local organizations.In fact,the school I attend even requires students to perform a certain number of hours of volunteer work per semester.It is part of our study hall(自修课)grade,as well as a graduation requirement.
There are many places to do volunteer work in the community.Some of my classmates volunteer at the local animal shelter,the community table(which provides free meals for needy families),charity(慈善)stores,and many others.Finding a suitable place to volunteer usually depends on what’s available,as well as personal interests.For example,a friend of mine who enjoys swimming volunteers at the recreation center to teach young children how to swim.
With all these options out there,I ended up doing most of my volunteer work at a school library and a non-profit bookstore called Friends of the Library.This bookstore sells donated books at cheap prices,and all the profits made are donated to the local library.
I thought it was very fitting that I do my volunteer work at a library and a bookstore,because reading has always been very important to me.I love working in the bookstore now,because every sale we make helps our public library expand,and gives it the funds needed to purchase new books.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to read,and that we each should do our part to help those who don’t have the chance.There is a charity event,called One Book for A Window of Opportunity,in which Chinese students can donate a book to the children of the poor village Fangmaping.They don’t have a lot of resou rces,so reading can be a challenge.To find out more about this event,please visit:/thread-739278-1-1.html.

【2014高考训练】A
A letter of reply is sometimes a most treasured thing． Here is a story that tells about this common and natural human sentiment．
The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse by the naI11e of Kate Austen． But Nurse Austen was not too busy to acknowledge with a long, friendly letter every gift of food or clothing received for distribution to the natives in that cold and poor district of the north． Among the gifts was a box of knittings for children, knitted（编织）and sent by a woman in Toronto．
Nurse Austen was busy, exhausted and not feeling too well that winter．She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement． But that was not her way． She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said -when they got them, and how they looked when they wore them．She wanted the woman who had knitted and sent all those lovely knittings "to see how much happiness and warmth she had created．" Not long after, she received the following answer from Canada．
Dear Miss Austen:
Your letter made me happy． I did not expect such a full return． I am eighty years old, and I am blind． There is little I can do except knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters and scarves．Of course I cannot write this, so my daughter-in-law is doing it for me．She also sewed the seams and made the buttonholes for the knitted things．
I know something of the work you are doing． At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to China to be a missionary(传教士）． For forty years, with an occasional year at home in America, we Worked in China, and during that time our two sons and a daughter were born to us, of whom only one son survives．\After forty years, my husband's health began to fail． We returned to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York． A surprising number of the problems we faced there were similar to the problems we had met in China．When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter-in-law． They
are very good to me, and I pride myself that I am little trouble to them, though it is hard for a blind old lady to be sure of anything．
What I most want to say, my dear, is this． For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or books as I could collect． In various parts of the world and to various parts of the world I have sent them．Sometimes I have received a printed note of acknowledgement from the headquarters depot or mission board, sometimes nothing．Occasionally I :have been informed that my contribution was planned for Syria or Armenia or the upper Yangtze． But never before in all that time have l had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said．I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that．
May God bless you．
Sincerely yours,

2014高考英语阅读理解（人物传记、故事类）【2014·江西卷】A
Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first exp edition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least,
he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different Spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures. Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
56.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
A.His daughter had grown up.
B.He had become a famous diver.
C.His father would dive with him.
D.His daughter would dive with him.
57. What can be inferred from Paragraph2?
A. Larry had some privileges.
B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
58. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?
A. To protect himself from danger.
B.To dive into the deep water.
C.To admire the underwater view.
D.To take photo more conveniently.
59. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.
B. Larry was not good at math.
C. Larry had a poor memory.
D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.
60. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?
A. Become a successful diver.
B. Make a good diving guide.
C. Take a lot of photo underwater.
D. Have longer hours of training.
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

Larry小时候，特别受优待——接受了水下探险的理论和实践的教育。

在父亲的带领下开始了惊奇的水下探险之旅，并不断地成长。

最后成为一个有名的探险家。

今天，他也要带着女儿水下探险，希望女儿能继承家中传统，也成为一个好的水下探险者。

D
解析：细节理解题第一段第1，2 句（but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him.）告诉我们，Larry再一次进行水下探险，但这一次不同，他决定带他女儿一起去。

所以D 选项正确。

B选项干扰性较大。

该段最后一句是说：这是Larry成名后女儿第一次跟父亲去的水下探险。

Larry 的成名并不是此次探险的不同。

A
解析：推理判断题从该段可知，本来像他这样年龄的小孩是不被允许水下探险的（Children his age were not even allowed to dive.，然而他是个例外（He had made an exception），并且下水之前，他必须接受至少5小时的理论教育以及5小时以上的和老师一起下水的实践辅导。

（Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.），由此推测，A选项正确。

A
解析：推理判断题第三段告诉我们，Larry潜入深水中，一些危险区域也阻扰不了他的深水搜寻（Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.）。

而根据常识，在深水中人呆在铁笼中以防危险的突发（如海底动物的袭击）。

故选A。

A 解析：细节理解题从最后一段得知，Larry看着他女儿，希望她能继承他家的传统（He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.）；瞧着她的勇敢劲儿，肯定能变为一个成功的水下探险者（This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.）。

故A选项正确。
