Ⅱ.完形填空(共 15 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 15 分)
根据短文内容,从 A、B、C 三个选项中选择一个最佳答案。
Last year, I decided to do something different during my summer holiday. I didn't want to just play video games or hang out with friends. I wanted to make a $\underline{21}$. So, I signed up as a(n) $\underline{22}$ at our local community centre.
I have been a volunteer there $\underline{23}$ almost three months, and it has been a wonderful $\underline{24}$. My main job is to $\underline{25}$ a group of primary school children whose parents are at work. We play games, read books, and sometimes I even $\underline{26}$ them with their homework.
One of the children, a shy boy named Leo, couldn't read well. I spent some time $\underline{27}$ him every day. At first, he found it difficult, but he never gave up. I have $\underline{28}$ seen him become more confident. Now, he can read simple stories by himself. The smile on his face is the best $\underline{29}$ I have ever received.
Through this $\underline{30}$, I have learned the importance of patience and kindness. I understand that even a small $\underline{31}$ can change someone's life. I also have made many new friends $\underline{32}$ I started working here.
My summer holiday is over, but I have decided to $\underline{33}$ my work at the centre. I will go there every Saturday. I encourage everyone to find a way to help $\underline{34}$. Remember, our actions, no matter how small, can $\underline{35}$ the world a better place.

21.A 解析:make a difference 是一个固定短语,意为"发挥作用,产生影响",符合"我想做一些有意义的事"的文意。
22.B 解析:全文主题是志愿服务,且第二段开头也明确提到了 I have been a volunteer。故选 B。
23.B 解析:后面跟的是一段时间 almost three months,"for+一段时间"表示某个动作或状态持续了多久。
24.C 解析:experience 经历。指做志愿者的这整段"经历"很美妙。
25.A 解析:look after 照顾,照看;look for 寻找;look up 查阅,向上看。根据下文可知,作者的工作是照顾一群小学生。故选 A。
26.C 解析:help sb with sth 是固定搭配,意为"帮助某人做某事"。provide sb with sth 意为"给某人提供某物",但"给他们提供家庭作业"语义不通。guide 引导,后面常接 through 或 to。
27.B 解析:spend time with sb 是固定搭配,意为"花时间和某人在一起"。
28.C 解析:already(已经)用于现在完成时,表示"已经"看到他变得更自信,强调成果。ever(曾经)常用于疑问句或否定句,never(从不)与句意不符。
29.A 解析:这里用的是比喻义,孩子脸上的笑容对作者来说就是最好的"礼物"。gift 礼物。
30.B 解析:activity 活动,指代前面提到的志愿照看孩子这项"活动"。
31.A 解析:action 行动,指即使一个微小的"行动"也能改变人生。
32.A 解析:since I started working here 构成时间状语从句,主句常用现在完成时。
33.B 解析:根据下文"我将每周六都去"可知,作者决定"继续"这项工作。
34.C 解析:help others 是固定搭配,意为"帮助他人"。
35.B 解析:"make sth/sb+n."是固定结构,意为"使某人/某物变成……"。make the world a better place 意为"让世界变得更美好"。
