Do you like travelling? Have you heard of volunteer travel? Do you know what volunteer travel means?

The main purpose of volunteer travel is to take part in service opportunity to help others． During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities． The volunteers may get free or discounted (打折) accommodation, meals and laundry, activities, or classes because of their help．

It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transport． However, volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization．

Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country． But now, more volunteer trips have taken place within the volunteers’ own countries in recent years． Volunteer projects in the countryside are now attracting more visitors living in the cities as a break from the fast and stressful city lives．

By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive influence on the world． The services volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the communities they serve． Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it helps people living in cities experience the life in the countryside． For those who are tired of city life but can’t move to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a way． In this way, travelers can relax themselves from their busy lives, while the countryside can get a lot by receiving more customers for local tourism industries．

Lichun, or Start of Spring, is the first of the traditional Twenty-Four Solar Terms (节气), representing the beginning of all things, rebirth and a new cycle．

Lichun plays an important role in China’s traditional culture． It is the first solar term that lasts so long (15 days) and has so many nicknames: yingchun (greeting spring), songchun (sending spring), dachun (beating spring), yaochun (biting spring), tachun (outing in spring) and taochun (begging for spring)． The different verbs in front of the word chun all stand for the joy and eagerness for the arrival of spring． “I have never seen a solar term with so many descriptions as lichun．” says folklore expert You Guoqing．

Spring greeting ceremonies (仪式) started from the Western Zhou Dynasty． On the very day, the king personally led the whole officers to the east to welcome the spring, praying for a year of good weather and a good harvest． During the Qing Dynasty, the ceremony became an important folk (民间) activity that everyone took part in． The forms of celebration were simple and interesting． The great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu wrote, “Every time on lichun, families put green silky cut chives on white jade plates, and gave them to each other through their hands, so as to enjoy the festival．”

With the development of the times, such activities are no longer as well found as they were in ancient times, but “biting spring” is a custom that has been followed to this day． The northerners enjoy eating spring pancakes and spring rolls on lichun． The paper-thin spring rolls, wrapped around fried vegetables and pork． Eating spring pancakes will make people work harder and live longer．

As the head of the four seasons, lichun is a new starting point and a sign of the arrival of spring．

42． Which of the customs of lichun is still popular today?

A． Greeting spring．  B． Sending spring．   C． Biting spring．      D． Beating spring．

43． Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________．

A． the meaning of lichun in the ancient times

B． the history of the spring greeting ceremonies

C． the great poems by Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu

D． different forms of the spring greeting ceremonies

44． How does the writer organize the article? (P= paragraph)

A．    B．        C．      D．

45． What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A． Lichun is the first day of the year in the traditional culture．

B． The custom taochun (begging for spring) is the most important of all．

C． Eating spring pancakes will make people work harder and live longer．

D． Not everyone could join in spring greeting ceremonies before the Qing Dynasty．

Portia gave the decision． “One pound of the merchant’s flesh is yours! It is what the contract (合同) says． You may take his flesh!” Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready．

“Wait!” said Portia． “You will not do anything that is not written in the contract． Is that right, Shylock?” “Yes, that’s right,” said Shylock． “Well,” said the young judge, “I have read the contract carefully, and it does not say anything about taking his blood． It says ‘a pound of flesh．’ You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood． If you take any of his blood, the duke will take everything you own!”

Shylock didn’t want to give everything he owned to the duke． He decided not to take his pound of flesh． He said he would take the money． Bassanio was happy to give him the money because he thought he could save his friend Antonio in this way．

Portia, however, had more to say． “Wait!” she said again． “He does not want the money． It is not written in the contract, and he said that he would not do anything that was not written in the contract． Shylock, you can take your pound of flesh, just as the contract says． Why are you waiting?” she asked． Shylock said he just wanted to have his money back．

“Just give me the money I lent you． I won’t even demand interest,” he said． Bassanio was ready to give the money to him, but again Portia stopped him and said, “He said in front of us all that he did not want the money． He wanted only the penalty that is in the contract．”

Shylock understood that he would not get his pound of flesh． He understood that he would not get his money． He decided to go home．

参考答案

1． C

【解析】

【详解】句意：中国国家主席习近平上月访问了俄罗斯。

考查冠词用法。a为不定冠词，表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词前或用于固定搭配中；the为定冠词，表特指。pay a visit意为“进行访问”；Russia为国家名，前面不用冠词，故选C。

2． B

【解析】

【详解】句意：——你介意把你的书《爱丽丝梦游仙境》借给我吗？——对不起。我还没看完它。

考查代词辨析。one一，一个；it它；those那些；this这个。根据“Would you mind lending me your book Alice in Wonderland?”可知“我还没有看完它”，此处用it指代这本书。故选B。
