一、根据短文内容，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空
Last Saturday, our school organized a community gardening volunteer project. At first, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it, but it turned out to be amazing.
It's (1) (necessary, keep) our community beautiful, so we planted in the local garden. The garden were full of weeds. It's (2) (hard, pull) them out by hand, yet we persevered. Then we dug holes, planted flowers and vegetables, watered them and added fertilizer. It's (3) (important, plants, get) enough care to grow well.
During the break, Lily shared her snacks. It was (4) (generous, her, think) of others.
When done, the garden looked lively with colourful plants. It's (5) (pleased, us, see) our efforts pay off. I learned it's (6) (helpful, everyone, make) our community a better place to live. I'm looking forward to the next volunteer chance!

(1) necessary to keep
(2) hard to pull
(3) important for plants to get
(4) generous of her to think
(5) pleasant for us to see
(6) helpful for everyone to make

本题考查it作形式主语的核心句型，这是译林版八年级下册Grammar的重点内容，具体包括：
1. It's + 形容词 + to do sth：用于描述动作的性质、必要性等；
2. It's + 形容词 + for sb/sth + to do sth：当形容词描述事物/动作的属性（如important, necessary），不修饰人的品质时，用for引出逻辑主语；
3. It's + 形容词 + of sb + to do sth：当形容词描述人的性格、品质（如generous, kind）时，用of引出逻辑主语。
各空分析：
(1) 需用“It's + 形容词 + to do sth”结构，表达“保持社区整洁是必要的”，故填对应形式；
(2) 用“It's + 形容词 + to do sth”结构，表达“用手拔草很难”，故填对应形式；
(3) important表动作的属性，逻辑主语是plants，用“It's + 形容词 + for sth + to do sth”结构，表达“植物得到足够照料很重要”，故填对应形式；
(4) generous表人的品质（Lily的慷慨），用“It's + 形容词 + of sb + to do sth”结构，表达“她能想到别人很慷慨”，故填对应形式；
(5) pleasant表这件事的属性，逻辑主语是us，用“It's + 形容词 + for sb + to do sth”结构，表达“看到我们的努力有回报是令人开心的”（注：题干中pleased为笔误，pleased仅能修饰人，无法用于该结构）；
(6) helpful表动作的属性，逻辑主语是everyone，用“It's + 形容词 + for sb + to do sth”结构，表达“每个人为社区做贡献是有帮助的”，故填对应形式。

二、根据中文提示完成下列句子
1. 对于志愿者来说帮助有需要的人是有意义的。
people in need.
2. 志愿者无需有丰富的经验，但是善良和友好于他们而言很重要。
have rich experience, but kind and friendly.
3. 开展志愿活动并不困难。
carry on with the voluntary work.
4. 因为政府很贴心，会为有需要的人提供各种服务。
Because provide people in need with different kinds of services.
5. 每一个做志愿者的人都是非常棒的。
a volunteer.

1. It's meaningful for volunteers to help
2. Volunteers needn't; it's important for them to be
3. It's not difficult to
4. the government is caring and will
5. It's great for everyone to be

1. 考查本单元“It's + 形容词 + for sb + to do sth”的核心句型，“有意义的”用meaningful，“志愿者”为volunteers，“帮助”用help，符合语法要求。
2. 第一空用“Volunteers needn't”表达“志愿者无需”，情态动词needn't后接动词原形；第二空用“It's important for them to be”，运用“It's + 形容词 + for sb + to be + 形容词”的句型，表达品质对志愿者的重要性。
3. 考查“It's + 形容词 + to do sth”的固定句型，“不困难的”用not difficult，贴合本单元语法结构。
4. “政府很贴心”译为“the government is caring”，“会提供”用“will”承接，符合语境和语法规范。
5. 考查“It's + 形容词 + for sb + to do sth”的句型，“非常棒的”用great，“每一个人”为everyone，“成为志愿者”用to be，符合本单元知识点。

三、微写作：Talk about your opinion about volunteers and voluntary work. (At least 5 - 8 sentences)

Volunteers are warm-hearted people who play an important role in our society, and voluntary work is really meaningful.
Last weekend, I joined a voluntary activity to help the elderly in the neighborhood, and I felt very happy when I saw their big smiles.
Doing voluntary work can not only help people in need but also let us learn many useful skills, like how to communicate with others and work in a team.
When we take part in voluntary work, we can also understand how to care for others better.
I hope more and more teenagers will join voluntary activities. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference to the world around us.

写作可围绕“志愿者与志愿工作的意义”展开，采用“总述观点+具体举例+个人收获+发出倡议”的结构，运用八年级下册所学的常用词汇（如meaningful, in need, make a difference等）和基础复合句式，保证语句通顺连贯，内容贴合主题，满足5-8句的要求。

四、阅读短文，根据所读内容，在文章后 1 - 9 小题的空格里填入最恰当的 1 个单词，第 10 小题回答问题，词数不限
Volunteering not only benefits those in need but also is helpful for the volunteers themselves. It can connect you to others, provide a sense of purpose and make you grow as a person.
While it's true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you'll experience, making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest challenge. Some people wonder if they will be able to meet organization's expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some worries.
◆ Start out with small steps and don't add too much pressure (压力). Even a few hours a month can be very helpful.
◆ Work with someone who volunteered a lot. He can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.
◆ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
Volunteering makes people look at the world differently. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.

(1) start/begin
(2) good
(3) difficult/hard
(4) reasons
(5) confident
(6) time
(7) tips/solutions
(8) experienced
(9) suits
(10) Volunteering makes people look at the world differently. It can change a person's life for the better and makes everyone a better person.
