A volunteering or gap year trip
Safe, Supported Volunteering and Gap Year Trips for First-Time Travelers
A volunteering or gap year trip is a great opportunity to explore other countries, to help make a difference, and to further a future career. Frontier aims to provide an authentic volunteering experience in many of the world’s most spectacular countries, while making sure that safety, support and accountability are of primary importance. With more than 20 years’ experience in running and supporting volunteering projects worldwide, and with dedicated teams of staff in the UK and the USA, we are able to provide peace of mind for volunteer and their parents, as well as unforgettable experiences.
How does Frontier support its volunteers and their families? We take the safety and security of our volunteers extremely seriously. With this in mind, here are just a few of the policies we follow:
? All field staff trained in health & safety procedures
? We offer a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week, emergency phone line
? Weekly “Situation Report” emails for Frontier group projects, to keep friends and families of volunteers informed of news and developments on our camps.
? Before accepting a volunteer onto a placement, we require them to undergo an interview with one of our travel advisers, to ensure that the volunteer understands the project, and is comfortable with all of the responsibilities required.
Travel Buddies
Volunteers often feel more confident (and their parents more reassured) when travelling with someone from their own county and/ or of their own age. If requested, we will find a placement on which there are volunteers of similar ages and backgrounds. If both parties wish, we can put them in contact with each other so that they can gel lo know each other before leaving, and even arrange to fly out together.

B
Last year, I went WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at a beautiful organic farm in the south of La Reunion. With WOOFing, volunteers exchange their time and work for food and board. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs (刺猬) digging about in the bushes, all different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun.
For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritizes people and our planet above profit. You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.
There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Reunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees, I felt gra teful to be a part of the start of the trees’ cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.
Of course, not everyone is able to travel far afield, due to various restrictions or responsibilities back home. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing, which prioritizes people above profit, is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. That can be swapping French lessons with a neighbour for babysitting, or cooking a meal in exchange for a yoga class. The focus shifts from
money to how we can best support each other in our communities. A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.
4. The author loves WWOOFing mainly because .
A. he can get to know new places and people
B. it is one of the best ways to travel
C. he can make profits at the beautiful organic farm
D. he can connect with local communities and nature
5. What does the underlined word “prioritizes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Take something more seriously.
B. Treat something more carefully.
C. Consider something more important.
D. Take something for granted.
6. Why does the author mention “palm trees ’’again in Paragraph 3?
A. To show that he learns a lot by volunteering on the farm.
B. To introduce the growing process of palm trees.
C. To express his interest in growing plants on the farm.
D. To show his amazement at the growth of palm trees.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. We should exchange what we have with our neighbors.
B. We can save money by swapping labor with our neighbors.
C. We can benefit each other by exchanging our time and work.
D. We should volunteer to work on a farm to experience nature.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。介绍了作者在有机农场从事志愿劳动的体验和对大自然及社会的感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.”可知，作者喜爱WWOOFing是因为可以与当地社区和大自然紧密联系。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“It is a mutually beneficial exchange(这是一种互惠互利的交换)”和上下文可知，从事农场志愿工作的人都认为人类和地球比利润更重要，所以prioritizes 为“认为……更重要”之意。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。本段为总分结构，首句为主题句，后面对种植棕榈树的具体描述和作者对棕榈树认识的比较是作为例子说明首句主题，即作者在劳动的过程中学到了很多。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。对最后一段的推理也是对主旨的深化和升华。作者通过对志愿劳动的感悟引发对日常生活的思考。不仅在农场，我们在自己的社区也可以以各种形式贯彻mutually beneficial exchange，服务别人，自己获益，即：通过交换时间和工作来彼此受益。故选C。
C
Running or walking after dark, backpacking in an unfamiliar city, even taking a taxi alone in the middle of the night, can all be dangerous activities, especially for women. To offer better protection, some technology companies are looking for a way to develop or expand tools that highlight women’s safety.
In Beijing, on Jun 10, China's smart jewelry brand Totwoo launched a kit called Safety, which is expected to prevent attack on women in the country.
If the user feels threatened, pressing the button for four seconds will activate the device that will start recording for 10 seconds. Within 50 seconds, the device will telephone and send text messages to three emergency contacts to inform them, providing a location, first-aid information and audio recordings. Once a contact responds, the device shakes and lights up to inform the user. The user can disable the alarm by pressing the button three times in succession.
Around the diameter of a bottle cap, the waterproof piece of jewelry can be attached to a bag, a key or even worn as a necklace. “In Chinese culture, certain jewelry is sometimes worn as a symbol of safely. Our product brings some truth to that,” says Wang Jieming, who founded Totwoo in 2015. It makes sense that the company decided to model the jewelry in the shape of an apple, the name of which in Chinese is “ping guo”, sharing the same pronounced ping as “ping’ an”, the Chinese word for “safety”.
Cooperating with China Mobile, the small core module uses a remote SIM, by passing the need for a physical SIM card. It has certified wireless-charging technology similar to the system used by Apple. Supporting navigation systems such as GPS, Beidou and GSM base station positioning, it car provide accurate location information. Xin Yang, head of the International Security Defense College in Beijing, a private security training school established in 2011, says an independent device can enhance women’s safety in an emergency, because “mobile phones are often the first item an attacker will attempt to grab or destroy”.
8. Which of the following is right about the device?
A. The user can make video and audio recordings with the device.
B. The device can be switched on and off within minutes.
C. The user can confirm a contacts response without text messages.
D. The device is technically supported by big companies such as Apple.
9. What is the advantage of a smart jewelry over other devices according to Xin Yang?
A. It’s easy to carry and operate.
B. It looks beautiful on women.
C. It symbolizes safety in Chinese culture.
D. It avoids being targeted by an attacker.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the device?
A. Doubtful.
B. Favorable.
C. Uncertain.
D. Objective.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Women can be fashionable and safe.
B. A smart jewelry promotes wo men’s safety.
C. Women’s safety raises widespread concern.
D. Technology companies find a new way to save women.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。6月10日，中国智能珠宝品牌Totwoo在北京推出了一款名为Safety的套装，旨在防止女性受到攻击。文章主要介绍了这款类似饰品的女士防身装备的工作方式、技
术配制与优势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中If the user feels threatened, pressing the button for four seconds will activate the device that will start recording for 10 seconds. Within 50 seconds, the device will telephone and send text messages to three emergency contacts to inform them, providing a location, first-aid information and audio recordings. Once a contact responds, the device shakes and lights up to inform the user.可知如果用户感到受到威胁，按4秒按钮将激活设备，设备将开始录制10秒。在50秒内，该设备将打电话并发送短信给三个紧急联系人，告知他们位置、急救信息和音频记录。一旦联系人做出回应，设备就会震动并亮起灯来通知用户。由此可知，C选项“用户无需短信即可确认联系人响应”正确，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Xin Yang, head of the International Security Defense College in Beijing, a private security training school established in 2011, says an independent device can enhance women’s safety in an emergency, because “mobi le phones are often the first item an attacker will attempt to grab or destroy”.可知位于北京的国际安全防御学院是一家成立于2011年的私人安全培训学校。该学院院长杨欣表示，在紧急情况下，独立装置可以增强女性的安全，因为“手机往往是攻击者试图抢走或破坏的第一个物品”。由此可知，智能装备相对于其他设备的优势在于可以逃过攻击者的注意，避免成为攻击的目标。故选D。
【10题详解】

“There’s no place like home.” This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it’s the only affordable place to stay; some place where they can receive first- class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it’s quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying away the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there’s been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live —or not to leave home at all.
According to the UK’s Office for National Statistics, about a quarter of young adults aged 20-34 live at home, and that figure has been growing. A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it’s easy to see why they’re increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC’s Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. These include cooked meals, a full fridge and cleaning, as well as their bills b eing covered by what is commonly called “the hotel of mum and dad”. But for the “hoteliers”, that’s mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their “big kids”. Emma Craig from Moneysupermarket says “they’re trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or lo contribute.
With parents splashing out（花费）around ￡l,886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their children, it’s easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
12. Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. The main reason for their moving back home lies in parents' service. B. Different countries have different traditions. C. More and more young people live with parents in the UK. D. Young people desire to live independently in all countries. 13. Why do more young people choose to stay at home? A. They are struggling financially. B. They want to keep their parents company. C. They can't afford to buy their own house. D. They want to enjoy home comforts 14. What influence does the trend have on parents? A. They have difficulty making ends meet. B. They feel happy with their children around. C. They feel awkward asking their children for rent. D. They give up their own life to take care of their kids. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A new trend in the UK. B. The hotel of mum and dad.
C. There’s no place like home.
D. Everything comes at a price.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。许多英国年轻人选择“回巢”，与父母同住。回到父母家中，他们享受着家庭的舒适生活，但是回家住“爸妈旅馆”是有代价的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“But there’s been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live —or not to leave home at all.”可知，但是至少在英国，年轻人回家居住或者根本不离开家已经是一种上升的趋势。由此可见，越来越多的英国年轻人和父母一起居住。结合选项可知，选项C正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段的第二句“A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year.”和第三句“More young peop le had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year.”可知，由一个比价网站做出的调查发现和去年的8%相比，18%的英国成年儿童说他们搬回家是因为债务。和前年相比，更多的年轻人失去他们的工作，并且其他人无法承担他们的租金。由此可见，更多的年轻人选择回家住，是因为他们经济上的困难。结合选项可知，选项A正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段的第三句“But for the“hoteliers”, that’s mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their “big kids”.”可知，但是对于这些“旅馆经营者”，那就是母亲和父亲，这项调查发现他们的平均花销急剧上升，并且他们正在牺牲奢侈品和假期去照顾他们的“大孩子”。由此可见，这种趋势对父母造成的影响是他们为了照顾孩子要放弃他们自己的生活。结合选项可知，选项D正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，第一段的第二句“And for many young adults, it’s the only affordable place to stay; some place where they can receive first- class service from mum and dad.”，第二段的第二句“But there’s been a growing tren d, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live —or not to leave home at all.”，第四段的第一句“The BBC’s Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts.”以及最后一段的最后一句“That's before they learn a home truth that one day it m ight be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!”可知，对于很多年轻人来说，那是唯一能够负担起居住的地方，一些他们能从妈妈和爸爸那获得一级服务的地方。但是至少在英国，年轻人回家居住或者根本不离开家已经是一种上升
的趋势。BBC的Lucy Hooker解释说很多回来的成年儿童享受着家里的舒适。那是在他们了解到家的含义之前，有一天可能是他们自己的孩子将要入驻父母酒店。由此可见，全文主要是在讲述年轻人回归父母家中，和父母一起居住，父母的家成为舒适的酒店。所以短文的标题为“父母酒店”为短文的最佳标题。选项B正确。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

这是一篇说明文，介绍了四条在新冠疫情下的自我保护和（间接）保护他人的措施。
【16题详解】
第一段总述：无症状感染难以追踪却也有相同的传染性。所以要自我照顾，也保护他人。然后提出具体的保护建议（下文）。故选F。
【17题详解】
这里建议要保持一米的距离，因为如果离得太近，人们打喷嚏从嘴里、鼻子里喷出小液滴会被他人吸入，继而形成交叉感染。故选G。
【18题详解】
这是四条建议中的一条，应该是个祈使句。下文提到：手会接触各种（东西）的表面而沾染病毒，然后病毒又经由手接触到眼睛、嘴、鼻子，进而引发感染，所以建议就是“避免用手去接触眼睛、鼻子、嘴”。故选B。
【19题详解】
“there”这个字眼体现上文应该有个能理解为地点的“物”，语意上也通顺，即“从眼睛、鼻子、嘴那里，病毒进入体内”。故选D。
【20题详解】
最后一空是总结句。容易错选“C”。本文着重还是介绍如何“保护（protective measures)”，而不是“避免传播”，呼应第一段。故选A。
