Schools across the nation are bringing in volunteers to guide children in this very way. If you simply enjoy spending time with children, being a reading volunteer can be a great way to help support the upcoming generation of readers.Reading volunteers work with elementary school age children to promote reading. They may read books to children, listen to children read aloud, or distribute books to school children. Reading volunteers promote the activity of reading, rather than focusing on teaching reading skills. They may read to a whole class of children, to a small group, or be assigned a child to read to one-on-one. During the time they spend with new readers, reading volunteers encourage them to learn to read.Almost anyone who knows how to read can be a reading volunteer. High school students, college students, parents, grandparents, and police officers are just an example of the kinds of people who become reading volunteers. Being able to read and wanting to spend time inspiring children to read are the only skills needed to be a successful reading volunteer.Several educational research studies show that children who are involved in programs with adult reading volunteers improve their school performance levels. For example, in 1998, researcher Sara Rimm-Kaufmann found that first graders involved in a program with an adult reading volunteer three times a week had better letter recognition and reading skills than similar first graders who hadn’t been involved in such groups. In 2000, the Eugene Research Institute found that fifth graders who had been in “SMART”, an adult volunteer literacy program, were 60% more likely to have grade-level scores in standardized reading tests. Moreover, a 2006 study by Brian Volkmann showed that children who were read to by adult volunteers had improved school attendance, which is a major predictor of high school graduation rates.In addition, reading volunteers themselves can gain a lot of benefits that range from expanding their personal networks to adding valuable skills to their resumes. They also enjoy the special time they get to spend with young children. Many volunteers have heart-warming stories to share with the children they read to. The volunteers know that they are inspiring young children with a proved educational strategy. So, if you have time, energy, and skill to support children’s literacy, it is a good idea to sign up to be a reading volunteer.Topic:Reading VolunteersGeneral information★Reading stories to children can bring them much pleasure.★Employing reading volunteers for kids is a 【1】 practice in schools nationwide.★Being a reading volunteer is a good way to support children.The work of a reading volunteer★Read to children, listen to them read or give out books to them.★Pay attention to the reading itself instead of teaching reading 【2】 to children.★Offer 【3】 to them while new readers learn to read.【4】 for being a reading volunteer★Have the basic reading ability.★Have the desire to inspire children to read.【5】 of reading volunteer programs★Improve the school children’s skills at 【6】 letters and reading.★Enable children to【7】 standardized tests more easily.★Inspire children to avoid 【8】 classes.★Develop and improve volunteers’ 【9】 with others.★Admit volunteers to obtain valuable skills to increase chance of landing a 【10】.★Give volunteers opportunities to enjoy the happy time with children. 答案：【答案】【1】common /standard【2】skills【3】encouragement/inspiration【4】Requirements/Qualifications/Conditions【5】Benefits/Advantages/Effects【6】recognizing【7】pass【8】skipping【9】relationship(s)【10】job【解析】本文为说明文。本文主要说明了阅读志愿者的工作内容，成为阅读志愿者的要求，成为阅读志愿者的好处以及阅读志愿者项目对孩子的积极影响等内容。【1】考查信息转换题。根据第一段中的“Schools across the nation are bringing in volunteers to guide children in this very way”可知，“全国各地的学校都在招募志愿者，以这种方式指导孩子”可推断，雇用阅读志愿者在全国范围内是一个普遍的/常规的做法，common practice意为“普遍做法”。故填common/standard。【2】考查信息提取题。第二段“Reading volunteers promote the activity of reading, rather than focusing on teaching reading skills.”可知，“阅读志愿者促进阅读的活动，而不是专注于教阅读技巧。”可知，“阅读志愿者关注的只是阅读的活动而不是教阅读技巧”。故填skills。【3】考查信息转换题。根据第二段中的“During the time they spend with new readers, reading volunteers encourage them to learn to read”可知，“在与阅读新手相处的时间里，阅读志愿者鼓励他们学习阅读”。由此可知填encouragement/inspiration。【4】考查信息归纳题。根据第三段的内容和表格右栏的内容可知，此处主要讲述的是成为阅读志愿者的条件/资格。故本空填Requirements/Qualifications/Conditions。【5】考查信息概括题。根据最后两段的内容及表格右栏的内容可知，此处主要讲的是阅读志愿者项目的好处或影响。故填Benefits/Advantages/Effects。【6】考查信息转换题。根据第四段中的“first graders involved in a program with an adult reading volunteer three times a week had better letter recognition and reading skills than similar first graders who hadn’t been involved in such groups.”可知，阅读志愿者项目可提高孩子们的识别（recognize）字母的能力。题干中的at为介词，因此本空填动词的ing形式，故填recognizing【7】考查信息转换题。根据第四段中的“...fifth graders who had been in “SMART”, an adult volunteer literacy program, were 60% more likely to have grade-level scores in standardized reading tests.”可知，阅读志愿者项目可帮助孩子们更容易地通过（pass）考试。故填pass。【8】考查信息转换题。根据第四段末句“showed that children who were read to by adult volunteers had improved school attendance, which is a major predictor of high school graduation rates.”可知，阅读志愿者项目有助于提高孩子们的上课出勤率，即鼓励孩子们不逃课。skip（不做应做的事），不参加。avoid doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“避免做某事”。因此此处应填skipping。【9】考查信息转换题。根据最后一段中的“reading volunteers themselves can gain a lot of benefits that range from expanding their personal networks ...”可知，阅读志愿者们自身也可从阅读志愿者项目中得到好处，包括拓宽他们的人际网，即改善他们的人际关系（relationship）。故填relationship(s)。【10】考查信息转换题。根据最后一段中的“reading volunteers themselves can gain a lot of benefits that range from expanding their personal networks to adding valuable skills to their resumes”可知，阅读志愿者们从阅读志愿者项目中得到好处也包括充实自己的简历，即增加自身获得工作（job）的可能性。故填job。
