(2019·全国Ⅱ卷,B)

“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do

it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my

kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.

I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety

around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little

persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with

four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t

even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,I’ll do it.”

I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer

responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,sends

out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the

same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to

focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another

season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching

your own kid score a goal.

Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a

close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep

coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your

time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.

In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely

like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it

really matter where my motivation lies?

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者介绍了自己说服他人参与志愿者工作

的经历,论述了志愿者工作的特殊意义。

1.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?

A.She knows little about the club.

B.She isn’t good at sports.

C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.

D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.

答案:C

解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句“You can use me as a last resort,and if

nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.”可知,这位家长让作者最后再考虑她,如果没

有其他人当志愿者,她才会做。由此可知,她不想做志愿者工作。

2.What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Encourage teamwork. B.Appeal to feelings.

C.Promote good deeds. D.Provide advice.

答案:B

解析:词义猜测题。开头提到这位家长不愿当志愿者,再根据第二段的“She may

just need a little persuading.”以及下文作者提到的两个例子可知,作者是想让她内心

有所触动。对比四个选项可知,B 项正确。

3.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?

A.She gets interested in lacrosse.

B.She is proud of her kids.

C.She’ll work for another season.

D.She becomes a good helper.

答案:D

解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的第二句“The unwilling parent organizes the meal

schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.”可知,这位家长

安排就餐时间表、发送电子邮件,并且为季末礼品筹款。这些都可表明她是一位好

帮手。故选 D项。

4.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?

A.It gives her a sense of duty.

B.It makes her very happy.

C.It enables her to work hard.

D.It brings her material rewards.

答案:B

解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Connecting to the community as you freely

give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so

good.”可知,志愿者工作给她带来了快乐。故选 B项。

Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone,not in features but in

footsteps.As he grows you also age,and your ambitions become more unachievable.You

begin to realize that your boy,in your footsteps,could probably accomplish what you

hoped for.But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.

My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects

waited until the last moment.Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.

I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate

working toward her master’s degree in English.But Jody?When he entered the tenth

grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生).They’re called “motorheads” by the

rest of the student body.

When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”,I was

shocked.“Hey,he’s a good kid,”I wanted to say,“And smart,really.”

I learned later that motorheads are,indeed,different.They usually have dirty hands

and wear dirty work clothes.And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).

But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who

labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to

learn this when I had my car crashed.The cost to repair it was estimated at $800.“Hey,I

can fix it,”said Jody.I doubted it,but let him go ahead,for I had nothing to lose.

My son,with other motorheads,fixed the car.They got parts(零件) from a

junkyard,and ability from vo-tech classes.The cost was $25 instead of $800.

Since that first repair job,a broken air-conditioner,a non-functioning washer and a

non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to

him.

These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in

their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.

I have learned a lot from my motorhead:publishers need printers,engineers need

mechanics,and architects need builders.Most important,I have learned that fathers don’t

need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.

My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。父亲总是希望儿子去实现自己未能实现的目标。

作者通过自己的亲身经历,最终阐明了这样一个道理:父亲没有必要让儿子去走他

曾经走过的路。

1.What used to be the author’s hope for his son?

A.To avoid becoming his clone.

B.To resemble him in appearance.

C.To develop in a different direction.

D.To reach the author’s unachieved goals.

答案:D

解析:推理判断题。由文章第一段可知,父亲都希望自己的儿子能够重复他曾走过

的路。但是儿子可能会向另外的方向发展。接着在第二段作者提到自己的儿子就

是这样一个孩子——没有按照作者的意愿去发展。由此推断出作者希望儿子去实

现自己未能实现的目标。

2.What can we learn about the author’s children?

A.His daughter does better in school.

B.His daughter has got a master’s degree.
