A(2024·北京丰台期末)
It was on my 14th birthday that my mother told me to join a volunteer service. Mum was happy, but for me, it was going to be a journey full of uncertainty.
I remember the day I first went to a community food bank. I was nervous, holding a box of canned food, not sure if I was doing it right. Everyone was busy and I felt like I was over my head. But I remembered my mum always said, “Jack, jump in with both feet,” so that was what I did.
The first few weeks were difficult. I had to learn how to sort donations(捐赠品), put food boxes, and most challenging, talk to the people who needed our help. Sometimes, I wanted to give up. But then I'd see the happiness in someone's eyes when they received a box of food and I knew I had to keep going.
One day, I met Ms Jenkins, a sweet old lady who came every week. She taught me how to make the best chocolate chip cookies and we'd chat when I worked. She became like a grandma to me and her stories made me realize(意识到) that everyone had a story worth hearing.
The real test came when we had to organize a big dinner for the community. I was in charge of(负责) decoration, which was way out of my comfort zone. But I asked my friends and together, we turned the hall into a beautiful place. Seeing the smiles on people's faces as they enjoyed the meal we prepared was the best feeling ever.
Volunteering has taught me that growing up isn't just about getting taller or having a driver's license. It's about stepping up, even when you're afraid. It's about finding your voice and using it to make a difference. And I can't wait to see where this journey will take me next.

2. B 提示：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But then I'd see the happiness in someone's eyes when they received a box of food and I knew I had to keep going.”可知，当别人收到一盒食物时，杰克看到了他们眼中的幸福，杰克知道自己必须继续前进。
3. D 提示：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Volunteering has taught me that growing up isn't just about getting taller or having a driver's license. It's about stepping up，even when you're afraid. It's about finding your voice and using it to make a difference.”可知，志愿工作教会了杰克，成长不仅仅是长高或有驾照，而是要勇往直前，即使你感到害怕。要找到自己的声音，并用它来改变世界。结合选项可知，选项D“成长意味着要走出去，实现自我价值”最符合文意。

答案： 1. C 提示：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Tom was a lazy boy. He hated going to school，studying and doing homework.”以及“Tom made sure he was the first in line”可知，汤姆之所以能成为 Gluebeard船上的水手，主要是因为他不喜欢学习。

3. B 提示：推理判断题。根据第四段中“He heard Gluebeard laugh at how stupid the crew were，how easy it was to fool them，and how foolish and poor they would always be after leaving their studies behind.”可知，Gluebeard 不允许船员读书或学习是因为这样他可以更容易地欺骗他们。
4. C 提示：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Unlike Gluebeard，however，he only chose people who studied. And instead of fooling them，he encouraged them to search for treasure with him.”可知，汤姆只选择爱学习的船员们，并鼓励他们一起寻找宝藏，这样一来，聪明的船员们能更快地找到新的宝藏。
