全国高考英语2卷阅读理解译文及解真题步骤
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  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 w
ay, 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?
24.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l?
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.
25.What does the underlined phrase“tug at the heartstrings”in paragraph 2 mean?

C. Promote good deeds.
D. Provide advice.
26. 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.
27. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?

schedule英语怎么发音
24.推理题。做此题时,虽然题目为:What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l?我们应该回文到第一段,去明确 the parent的相关信息。但the parent的her reply 只是例证,要证明作者的观点。我们应该全文去体会,到的对应句应该为:In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish actthan I’d freely like to admit.对应选项C.
25.猜词题。词不离句,我们到的对应句为:She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. She may just need a little persuading表明原因:她可能需要一点说服力。She may just need a little persuading点出了结果:所以我再试一次,拉着心弦。tug at the heartstrings(拉着心弦)显然与B项相符。
26.推理题。做此题时,需要对第三段整体理解:父母亲都在分担志愿者责任,在志愿服务做着许多工作。故选D.
27.细节题。the author (作者)like doing volunteer work的原因,对应文章最后一句:However, if others benefitin the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?故选B.
参考译文
“你可以把我当作最后的选择,如果没有其他人自愿的话,那么我会这么做。”这是我向我的孩子曲棍球俱乐部(long曲棍球)提出志愿者要求后,一位家长的真实答复。
我想可能有一些苛刻的工作日程,或是社会的焦虑在加紧帮助一项未知的运动。她可能需要一点说服力。所以我再试一次,拉着心弦。我提到了一位有四个孩子的单亲家长,我谈到了父亲在指导一个孩子根本不参加的团队……此时,不情愿的家长大声说,“好吧。是的,我会的。”
我暗地里松了一口气,因为我知道在许多人中分担志愿者责任是有真正的力量的。不情愿的家长会安排用餐时间,发邮件,并为季末礼物筹款。一路上的某个地方,同一个家长最终成为了团队中一个无价的成员。教练能够专注于孩子们,而其他的父母则可以在下一个赛季摆脱困境。向贪婪的孩子分发切好的橙子就像看着自己的孩子得分一样令人兴奋。
尽管如此,当季节结束时,我们大多数志愿者都会松一口气。这种解脱加上对为什么同样的人会不断回来寻求更多帮助的深刻理解:与社区(社区)联系,因为你可以自由地给予你的时间、金钱、技能或服务提供真正的快乐。志愿服务感觉真好。
从这个意义上说,我很肯定志愿服务比我愿意承认的更自私。然而,如果其他人在这个过程中受益,我也得到了一些奖励,那么我的动机在哪里真的很重要?

Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Go
ld, a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.
