There is no limit to how one can serve community interests，from spending a few hours a week with some charitable organization to practically full-time work for a social agency. Just as there are opportunities for voluntary service overseas（VSO）for young people before they take up full-time employment，21 there are opportunities for overseas service for 22 technicians in developing countries. Some people，particularly those who retire early，23 their technical and business skills in countries 24 there is a special need.

So in considering voluntary or 25 community service there are more opportunities than there26 were when one first began work. Most voluntary organizations have only a small full-time 27，and depend very much on volunteers and part-timers. This means that working relationships are different from those in commercial organizations，and values may be different. 28 some ways they may seem more casual and less efficient，but one should not judge them by commercial criteria. The peo-ple who work with them do so for different reasons and with different objectives，both personal and organizational. One should not join them 29 to arm them with professional expertise，instead，they must be joined with commitment to the 30 but not business efficiency. Because salaries are 31 or non-existent，many voluntary bodies offer modest expenses. But many retired people take part in community service for 32 simply because they enjoy the work.

Many community activities possible 33 retirement were also possible during ones working life and they are to be undertaken 34 seriously for that. Retired people who are just looking for something different or unusual to do should not consider 35 community service.

III. Reading Comprehension（60 points，3 points for each）

Directions：There are four reading passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A、B、C and D. Choose the best answer.

Passage 1

During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have seven or eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up. By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.

This important change in womens life has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. When they got married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is 16；many girls stay at school after that age，and though women marry younger，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties of family life.

Passage 3

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animals eyes？For example，what a chimpanzee（黑猩猩）sees as it sits at the top of a tree，or a penguins view as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner？

These questions are answered in the nature documentary，produced by the BBC. The three-part miniseries（迷你劇）was first aired in the UK last month. To explore animal stories“told”by the animalsthemselves，thedocumentarysfilmmakersworked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear.

“Never before have we seen such high-quality footage（连续镜头）directly from the animalspoint of view，”BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS.“This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opensup new possibilitiesfordiscoveringsomuchmore.”

Indeed，the groundbreaking technology provides a new perspective of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear，according to the documentarys camera designer Chris Watts.

The technical challenges didnt stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment，with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera. In the case of chimpanzees，“we had to create dummy（仿造的）cameras，so that every chimpanzee could get one”，the miniserieswildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science.

For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings，the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand. But for others，the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward. This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible.

To avoid disturbing the animals，scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the camerason the animals.“The last thing we want to do is to cause them discomfort，”the documentarys producer Dan Rees told the BBC.“To follow an animal in the first place， there has to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protect a species in the future.”

Their efforts certainly paid off.“Footage that captures these rare and exciting glimpses of animalshidden habits is important to scientists，but documentaries likealso connect audiences with the beauty and danger of wildlife in their natural environments，”Live Science noted.

Passage 4

Two deer jumped out in front of 16-year-old Amanda Floyds car. She stepped on the brakes（剎车），stopping the car just in time.

But later，she started texting. Distracted，Amanda turned left and right，and then crashed into another car.

Luckily，she was not in a real car：She was in a driving simulator（模拟器）at Roosevelt High School，Ohio，US.

“I never really realized that cars make such turns，”Amanda，a junior，said. She added that she doesnt text while driving anymore.

The Ohio Department of Transportation（ODOT）and State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the dangers of driving while drunk，while texting，or while talking on the phone.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration，distracted driving claimed 3，450 lives in 2016 alone. Experts believe that the actual figure is probably higher.

The simulator is basically a computer game. Like many computer games，it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a wheel and a brake. It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.

Students choose a distraction，such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash，of course. Then，they are pulled over by police to be taught the bad results of their driving—how much damage theyve caused，what their fine is，if anyone died in the accident，and if theyre going to go to prison.

“It teaches how to drive without being on the road，”said Shane Thompson，16. She had just crashed into a deer.

ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids had gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more had benefited from watching their classmates.

“Driving is such a major responsibility，so take it seriously，”he said.“Put away your cell phone. Dont put your makeup on. Dont eat or play with the radio.”

“A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life，but it can change someone elses life forever. The results are serious.”

A. show the dangers of texting while driving

B. warn drivers to watch out for deer on the road

D. share one of Amandas unsuccessful driving experiences

D. killed

53. The driving simulator project at Roosevelt High School is meant to___.

A. teach students how to deal with traffic accidents

B. make students aware of the dangers of distracted driving

C. let students relax and have fun between classes

D. test the studentsability to stay focused

54. What can we know about the driving simulator？

A. It is connected to the local police station.

B. It looks like a real car but has large computer screens.

C. Students who use it benefit more than those who only watch.

D.It lets students find out in detail the consequences of traffic accidents.

55. What can we conclude from the article？

A. The simulator is serving its purpose well.

B. Driving with the radio on has proven to be safe.

C. More courses should take the form of computer games.

D. Thanks to the simulator，the number of accidents has gone down in the US.
