It was a career move for my husband, and our 20yearold daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79yearold mother suffered a stroke (中风). Being strong and independent, she continues to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldn't look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organisation I had been looking for Easy Care Gardening (ECG)!There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others.Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney's North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.Finally, there are all those wonderful people we call “clients (客户)”， but are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and the stories they have to tell the family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia. I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者因为个人经历而决定在澳大利亚做园艺志愿者，主要帮助客户打理花园。这一工作不仅让作者能够帮助别人，还为作者带来了诸多收获。1Why did the author move to Sydney?AHer husband would work there.BShe planned to volunteer there.CShe was very keen on adventures.DShe had to look after her sick mother.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I left England for Sydney in September.

It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极限的) challenge？” made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights.

Alexa. Siri. These are names of robotic voices that are often programmed on electronic tablets. They also become default (默认) identities for people with speech disorders who rely on technology to communicate. Now some speech scientists are developing personalized voices to reflect the broader diversity of the people who use them. To do it, they are tapping into a vast network of volunteers who are donating their voices to share with people who cannot speak.The effort to build an international “Human Voicebank” has attracted more than 17,000 volunteers from 110 countries, including Priyanka Pandya, a 16yearold from Columbia, Md., who plans to spend her winter vacation recording a string of sentences into her computer. “To be able to give somebody the gift of voice, I think that's really, really powerful，” she said.“Everyone has a voice，” said Rupal Patel, founder of VocaliD, the company that started the voicebank. “Even people who are unable to speak have sounds that are unique to them.” Her company designs personalized voices by recording the unique sounds of the user, and then mixing them with 6 to 10 hours of recordings from a voice donor, matched by age, gender and region. The company is developing voices now for its first 100 customers.Also, people's voices change. The company is looking for donors who are willing to record their voices, and then record them again a few years later, as they get older.Some of the first customers say they are happy with the results. John A. Gregoire was one of the first customers to receive a personalized voice from VocaliD last December. The voice came eight years after he developed ALS (肌萎缩侧索硬化症) and more than six years have passed since his voice became unintelligible to everyone except his wife and youngest son. “Having a distinctive voice is like getting something back that was stolen，” John said.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，讲述了VocaliD公司创建了“人类声音银行”(Human Voicebank)，旨在利用志愿者的声音和高科技帮助语言障碍者拥有自己独特的声音。12What can we know about the voicebank?AIt collects all kinds of voices.BIt gains strong public support.CIt helps to recognize special voices.DIt offers people personalized voices free.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The effort .has attracted more than 17,000 volunteers from 110 countries”可知，人类声音银行项目获得了公众的大力支持。13What does the example of John A.

If there is anything that can help you be more content with your life, social media is certainly not the answer. _16_ That is simply so much better than letting your time just fly by in front of electronic devices.Finishing reading a book is also a good idea.
