All over the world, coral reefs are dying. 4.”

“I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章讲述的是在英国，每年都有成千上万的高中生毕业，他们在上大学或者工作之前，会花费一年的时间去其他国家做志愿者。Pauline Jones就是这样的一个年轻人。

1.D句意：然而，在英国情况就不同了。上文提到中国的青年担心找不到一份好的工作，空闲时间，只考虑如何娱乐。而在英国，大多数的青年会去做志愿者。与中国的青年明显不同。故答案为D。

2.F句意：志愿者把时间用来帮助别人。通过后面的举例“For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.”可知，志愿者把时间用在帮助别人身上。故答案为F。

3.A句意：明年，她想要去大学学习中文。上文提到，每年成千上万的英国年轻人在完成学业后，开始工作或去大学之前要休假一年，通常做些志愿者工作。结合上下句理解，答案为A。

4.C句意：我们对于这个问题，一定要采取措施，不要等到为时已晚。根据上句“All over the world, coral reefs are dying.”可知，珊瑚礁遇到了濒临灭绝的危险。我们必须采取措施来保护它们。故答案为C。

5.E句意：当我完成我的工作，我想在这里再呆三个月。根据短文最后的句子“I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”可知，Pauline Jones在完成志愿者工作后，想环游伯利兹和中美洲。故答案为E。
