【参考答案解析】C
【要点综述】文章主要讲述了BigBrothersBigSisters这样一个项目,该项目为情感上容易受挫折的孩子提供了帮助。
1.D 根据文章第一段第二句“Itisaprogrammewhichprovidesfriendshipandfunbymatchingvulnerableyoungpeople…”可知,这个项目是“通过让成人陪伴一些内心比较脆弱的孩子,从而来提供友谊和乐趣”。
A选项是说为学生提供公共服务;B选项是说帮助学生提高分数;C选项是说为年轻人组织体育活动;D选项是说给年轻人提供友情和乐趣。
所以选D。
2.B 根据文章第三段第一句可知,志愿者要每年至少参加12个月,每个月三到四次,每次花一到四个小时。
由此可以得出,志愿者一年之内最少要工作12×3×1=36小时。
3.B 根据文章第六段第一句“…by‘providingdifferentfeedback(反馈)aboutherselfotherthanjust…’.”可知,这个项目可以向Emily的妈妈提供一些关于她孩子不同的反馈,而不是仅仅只依赖同学的评价来评估Emily的自我价值。
4.C 根据文章第七段最后一句“…becausesometimesit'sallworkandnoplay.”可知Sarah想要通过参加这个项目来找些事儿做,因为有时候生活充满了工作而没有放松。
A:
她曾经是一个志愿者;B:
她需要一份兼职工作;C:
她感觉生活有点儿无趣;D:
她想要获得一份有挑战性的工作。
所以选C。
5.C 由文章的第一段可知这个项目可以为这些孩子提供玩伴和乐趣。
再由文章的第三段可以得知,这个项目可以为孩子们提高自尊、自信和找准生活方向。
再由文章的第五段可以得知,Emily在学校很难被同学接受。
综上分析,可以得出,vulnerableyoungpeople是指“情感上容易受伤害的人”。
