34、可以看 出该句是对此主题的进一步解释，该句内容应该给出一个具体的例子来证明这个观点，备选 项当中 G 项是一个具体例子，且符合上下文语境。所以选择 G 项。 3B由本段第一句“Volunteering is a great way to have fun with your family(和家人一起 参加志愿工作是非常开心的事情)”可知，本段内容建议我们和家人一起去做志愿者。B 项 “Things to do with family members.”符合段落大意，所以选择 B 项。 4D本段第一句“Kids can come up with their own ways to raise money or provide needed services.”告诉我们孩子们可以想出他们自己的方法来筹集资金或提供必要的服务，这样做可 以提升孩子们的社会责任心。 D 项“Volunteering gives kids a sense of responsibility.”符合上下文 语境，所以选择 D 项。 5A本句设在文章结尾，句尾的话语通常具有号召性或总结性的意味，该句后面的 “Make a plan to start volunteering today(就从今天做一个志愿服务计划吧)！ ”可以看出作者最 后鼓励大家加入志愿行列当中，所以选择 A 项。
