《2025年一本英语五合一必刷题高中人教版》

David Flucker celebrated his 100th birthday on June 22, but that didn’t mean he had got any plans to slow down—the next day he still went to work at St. Columba’s Hospice shop, a charity shop, as usual.
David is so dedicated to the volunteering role that he spends two hours traveling to the shop, and another two traveling back. His journey includes two buses and a 20 - minute walk each way, which he does regardless of the weather.
“It is a wonderful feeling to be doing something. I work three days a week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which are the busiest days,” David said. “We get a lot of donations, like toys, books and puzzles. I check the items to see if they’re okay.”
David enjoys sorting out donations to the charity, and the tasks helped him when he was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer. David started working in the charity shop after he was diagnosed with cancer and spent two weeks being cared for by St. Columba’s Hospice. So he decided to do something in return. Now he enjoys the public - facing role and the social aspect of his work.
When he isn’t working, he likes to tend to his garden and build model railways which he sells to raise money for the hospice.
David, who retired aged 72 having worked as a printer, said his advanced years were no barrier to enjoying himself. He was taken on a boat tour of the Firth of Forth on his birthday. “I went to South Queensferry and had a sail down the Firth of Forth. I saw parts of Scotland I’d not seen before,” David said. “I got quite a surprise as the band started to sing ‘Happy Birthday’. I had a great birthday cake covered with fruits.”

答案： 4. B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“that he spends two hours traveling to the shop, and another two traveling back”可知，他花两个小时才能到慈善商店，从慈善商店回家还需要两个小时。由此可推知，他非常热衷于这项志愿工作，所以才甘愿奉献自己的时间前往。be dedicated to sth. 和 be devoted to sth.意思相近，意为“致力于某事；献身于某事”。
5. D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“David enjoys sorting out donations to the charity”可知，他的工作内容之一是整理慈善商店收到的捐赠品。
6. A 推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句“David started working in the charity shop after he was diagnosed with cancer and spent two weeks being cared for by St. Columba’s Hospice. So he decided to do something in return.”可知，他在被诊断出患有癌症后，在St. Columba’s Hospice接受了两周的照料，所以他决定做点什么作为回报。由此可推知，他开始在这家临终安养院的慈善商店做志愿工作是为了回报这家临终安养院对他的帮助。
7. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“I got quite a surprise as the band started to sing ‘Happy Birthday’.”可知，让他感到吃惊的是乐队为他唱“生日快乐”。
