Community service is the act of helping others in our neighbourhood or society without getting paid. It is not only a way to support people in need, but also a chance for us to learn and grow. There are many kinds of community service activities that teenagers can join in, and all of them can make a big difference.
One common form of community service is helping the elderly. Every weekend, many students visit nursing homes. They teach elderly people to use mobile phones, help them clean their rooms, chat with them, and even sing songs to make them happy. These small actions help reduce the loneliness(孤独) of the elderly and bring them joy. Another popular activity is environmental(环境的) service. Volunteers clean up city parks, pick up litter on the streets, and plant trees in spring. By doing so, they help protect the environment and make the community a more beautiful place to live in.
Community service also benefits volunteers. Through community service, we learn the importance of responsibility（责任）and teamwork. When we work with others to solve problems, we learn how to communicate and cooperate(合作) better. Most importantly, it gives us a strong sense of purpose. We realize that even small efforts can make the world a better place.
In a word, community service is a win-win experience. It helps those in need and shapes our own characters. As teenagers, we should take an active part in community service and start making a difference today.

1.D 2.D 3.B 4.D

1. 词义指代题：定位到第3段，本段核心介绍社区服务给志愿者带来的益处，前文围绕community service展开相关好处的描述，因此划线it指代的是community service，对应正确选项。
2. 段落目的题：最后一段总结社区服务是双赢的体验，末尾发出呼吁，号召青少年积极参与社区服务，写作目的是鼓励更多人加入社区服务。
3. 推理判断题：A选项和原文第一段"without getting paid"的表述矛盾；C选项文中完全没有提及相关内容；D选项原文仅说明帮扶老人和环保服务都是受欢迎的社区服务形式，没有对二者的受欢迎度做对比；B选项结合第一段提到的社区服务是我们学习成长的机会、第三段介绍社区服务能让志愿者学会责任感、合作能力等内容，可以推断出社区服务能够帮助志愿者学习和成长，表述正确。
4. 主旨大意题：全文分别介绍了社区服务可以帮扶有需要的群体，同时也能让志愿者自身得到能力和品格的提升，点明这是双赢的体验，核心内容为社区服务既惠及有需要的人，也让志愿者自身受益。
