試題分析: 本文屬于廣告類(lèi)文體。主要內(nèi)容是招募愿意幫助有學(xué)習(xí)障礙的志愿工作者。在廣告中提到了招募的志愿者的職位是Volunteer Social Care Assistant ，志愿者將要工作的時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)，待遇（沒(méi)有報(bào)酬但是提供免費(fèi)飯菜），以及對(duì)申請(qǐng)人員的具體要求和工作內(nèi)容，同時(shí)要求志愿者需要有愛(ài)心，而且有類(lèi)似的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人會(huì)優(yōu)先錄用。
小題1:D考查推理判斷。文章開(kāi)頭以自問(wèn)自答的方式向人們發(fā)出號(hào)召，讓人們參與到志愿活動(dòng)中，然后在下文詳細(xì)介紹了志愿者工作的地點(diǎn)、時(shí)間、任務(wù)、要求等，由此可知文章主要目的是宣傳這項(xiàng)工作，故答案選D。
小題2:A考查詞義猜測(cè)。在文章開(kāi)頭作者提出問(wèn)題：你希望通過(guò)你的工作而使別人的生活有所改變嗎？然后鼓勵(lì)人們加入進(jìn)來(lái)，由此判斷加入進(jìn)來(lái)后就會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的愿望，即通過(guò)自己的工作讓別人的生活更加有意義，故答案選A。此題易誤選答案為D，make it 意思是“成功地做到或得到”因?yàn)殚_(kāi)頭作者只是問(wèn)讀者是否想獲得工作中的滿足感，而沒(méi)有提出這是一份工作招聘信息，所以D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。
小題3:D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容:But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued 可知志愿者們除了幫助保護(hù)智障患者的安全外，最重要的任務(wù)就是讓那些被幫助的人感到自身的價(jià)值和重要性，故答案選D。
小題4:B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章末段的小標(biāo)題Skill and Experience Required.和末段中 Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you. 可知有先前類(lèi)似經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人在申請(qǐng)這項(xiàng)工作時(shí)會(huì)優(yōu)先得到錄用，故答案選B。

Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim's case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim's father was 48.
“I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father,” Dr. Smoller says. “He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years. “ Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.
Jim's case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim's, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
41. Jim was sent back to operation because ________.
A. his heart didn't work well               B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn't well performed
42. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim's case?
A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim's death is closely connected with his father's.
43. From Smoller's words, we can infer that ________.
A. Jim's father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn't live to the age of 48
44. Which of the following could have strong effect on one's physical health according to the text?
a. One’s genes.     b. One’s life in childhood.    
c. One’s physical education.  d. The date of one’s birthday.   
e. The opinions one has about something.
A. a, b, d                 B. a, b, e              C. a, c, e              D. b, c, d
45. Which of the following is true?
A. Both Jim and his father died at the age of 48.
B. Jim often asked his father to do his homework.
C. Jim was believed to kill his father.
D. Most childhood events can cause cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

Dear David,
I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me. It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father. You are asking: will I make a good father? How will I deal with? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy（不適）before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn’t share them.
It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home. But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice, he grows into a fully mature（成熟的）man. And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progression of states, from the baby to the adult. Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80. I remember feeling very grown-up at eight, a time when I was weighed down with responsibility. These days, much older, I can, in the company of people I feel at ease with, feel like a young girl.
There’s a common remark that “all men are little boys”, but it’s not true. It’s more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are able of great maturity.
Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. You’ll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if it’s looking to you for comfort and support.
Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up.
Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.
Sincerely Yours,
Miss Advice
小題1:According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt _______.
A．valuableB．natural
C．unusualD．bearable
小題2: From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity _______.
A．will increase with age
B．is obviously seen at home
C．changes with different situations
D．becomes stronger with familiar people
小題3:Miss Advice holds the view that _______.
A．a(chǎn)ll men always behave like little boys
B．men with a baby feel more grown-up
C．people tend to need comfort and support
D．people enjoy talking about their immaturity

BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION
“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.
— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（診斷）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body
is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (輸血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.  Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.
