Wildlife Protection*閱讀理解。Volunteering Is FunOne afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored.Instead of feeling sorry for myself， I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my puter and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and acmodation were provided.However，it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle！I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However，you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can bee a hobby.For example，I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university，I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe（衣柜）.While this is all fun，my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell！Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。作者認為做志愿者很有趣，并生動地描繪了他的幾次志愿者經(jīng)歷，最后指出在做志愿者的同時，自己還收獲了其他的很多東西，感激之情油然而生。1.Why did the author want to volunteer？A.He wanted to go abroad.B.He felt ashamed of himself.C.He wanted to taste new life and make friends.D.He wanted to be a farmer.C解析：細節(jié)理解題。由第一段第二句可知，作者想做志愿者是因為他想交朋友并得到新體驗。故選C。2.The underlined word “hilarious” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to“_”.A.sadBfunnyC.awful DcriticalB解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在段落可知，作者當(dāng)志愿者最喜歡的部分就是講故事，他在農(nóng)場的經(jīng)歷給予了他講有趣故事的源泉。同時和不同國家和背景的志愿者交談也幫助作者更多地了解了世界。由此可推知，hilarious應(yīng)與funny意思相近。故選B。3.The author did many volunteering work except_.A.taking care of horses and sheepB.conducting a choir in a concertC.helping in a charity sports eventD.helping in a charity shopA解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三句可知，作者是照看十五匹馬，并沒有羊。故選A。3.How does the author feel according to the last paragraph？A.Curious.
