One event that helps educate young people about things they can do for others is National Youth Service Day (NYSD). Every year on this day, organizations all over the country celebrate young volunteers, educate young people about how they can help their country, and invite them to participate in service projects. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said, “National Youth Service Day honors young volunteers and is an invitation to others to join hands and do our part as Americans.”

Founded in 1988, NYSD originally took place on a Tuesday. Now the event lasts from Friday until Sunday so that more people can participate in it. More than 200 organizations work together to create thousands of projects each year. Millions of young people across the United States take part in these service projects.

Long before the event, people, community groups, schools, and nonprofit organizations think of ways to meet their communities’ needs. Then, they plan projects for young volunteers. Projects include bringing food to hungry people, tutoring younger children and helping senior citizens. During the event, young people from the community do things like planting neighborhood gardens and cleaning up local parks.

The organizations that contribute to NYSD believe that volunteering and community service are important activities for people of all ages, but especially for young people. Young people who volunteer are more likely to do well in school, vote, and contribute to charities. More important, they help other people and make the world a better place for everyone.

4. The aim of National Youth Service Day is to _______.

A. educate young people on responsibility

B. invite young people to meet each other

C. encourage young people to serve others

D. celebrate the growth of young people

5. On National Youth Service Day, young volunteers will _______.

A. do some cleaning in public places

B. prepare food for hungry people

C. plant vegetables and fruit

D. help old people to learn

6. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.

B. keep a record of how young people celebrate their festival

C. introduce an event — National Youth Service Day

D. advise young people to be cooperative when volunteering

根据短文内容,从下面A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选。选项中有一项为多余选项。)此题答案写在二卷

A. Start early

B. Set up a side business

C. Build your network

D. Predict what will happen in the future

E. Expand your knowledge

 F. Be willing to spend your time and money

61._______

Who doesn’t want to have a good future? It’s something everyone desires. The one who determines whether or not you have a good future is you. Don’t wait until something bad happens. Don’t wait until you lose your job. It is you who must take action. Start now while the situation is still good. Why? Because it takes time to build something. Let’s say you want to build an alternative income stream that you can rely on. You can’t build that overnight. Doing that takes time and persistence. If you don’t start early, it might not have been ready by the time you need it.

62. _______

It could be difficult to spend your time and money on something that doesn’t give you immediate return. But it’s important that you do that and it is one of the best ways to prepare yourself for the future. Those who are wise always spare some time and money in advance to invest in their future. If you don’t, your progress will be slow and you wouldn’t be ready in time.

63._________

I’m sure you’ve heard the advice “ Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” It’s good advice, but how can you apply if you know only one basket? By expanding your knowledge, you will know what possibilities there are so that you can find new opportunities. Expanding your knowledge can also help you see something you already know in a different light. You can see it from a new perspective. Overall, expanding your knowledge improves your ability to make good decisions.

64. _______

Building a side business is one of the best ways to invest in your future. In fact, it’s a favorite of mine. Not only can it help you prepare for unexpected job loss and provide you with an alternative income source, but also it teaches you a lot in the process. You will learn much because you deal with the real world.

65. ________

Your network of friends and acquaintances is one of the best assets (资产) you could have. It can inform you of new opportunities. It can also help you find the resources you need. By building your network, you are preparing for a time in the future when you might need help from it. But build your network with right motivation. Don’t build it with the motivation to get something from it.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意请将正确答案写在二卷答题纸相应位置上。

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7%. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying…

Arms.  71 If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way.  72 If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy.

Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.   73 

Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.

Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself.  74 This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse (皱拢) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back all angry comment you don’t wish to show.    

  75  .

A.If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards.

B.If you are pleased, you usually open your eyes wide and people can notice this.

C.Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies.

D.How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet.

E.However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.

F.However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.

G.Don’t say too much when you’re happy.

【2011·河北邯郸市二模】E

      India’s population has grown by 181 million people over the past ten years to 1.21 billion, according to the 2011 census(人口普查) result announced on March 31.

      More people now live in India than in the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh counted together.

      Although its speed of population growth is slowing, India is on course to overtake China as the most populous country around 2030, figures show.

      The census also shows a continuing preference for boys - India's sex ratio is at its worst since it was founded.

      Figures for the past 10 years show fewer girls than boys are being born or living. They show 914 girls were born for every 1,000 boys under the age of six, compared with 927 for every 1,000 in 2001 census.

      Government officials said they would review all their measures towards it, which they admitted were failing.

      The population of India now is made of 623.7 million males and 586.5 million females.

      Mr. Chandramauli, Census Commissioner, told a news reporter in the capital, Delhi that the increase in the population over the past ten years is in agreement with official estimates(估计).

      The figure shows India’s large population growing fast—181 million is about equal to the entire population of Brazil—but the speed of growth has slowed.

      The 2011 census shows a population increase of 17.6% from 2011, compared with one of 21.5 in the last ten years.

      Uttar Pradesh remains India’s most populous state—199 million people now live there.

      In the field of education there was good news, with the census showing the literacy rate(识字率) going up to 74% from about 65% in the last count.

      India started the 2011 census in April last year. Some 2.7 million officials visited households in about 7,000 towns and 600,000 villages, sorting out the population according to sex, religion(宗教), education and job.

The exercise, carried out every 10 years, faces big problems, not least India’s large area and differences of cultures. Census officials also have to face high levels of illiteracy and millions of homeless people.
