【1】考查上下文聯(lián)系和推理判斷。根據(jù)下文Volunteering can help you learn more about yourself and even put you on a path to your future career.可知志愿活動(dòng)可以幫助你更多地了解自己，甚至讓你走上通往未來職業(yè)的道路。因此推斷志愿活動(dòng)對(duì)你的社區(qū)有積極的影響，對(duì)你也是有好處的。故選B。

【2】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)上文Whether you build houses for the homeless or mail flyers for a local politician, you can experience the real world through hands-on work.可知，無論你是為無家可歸者建造房屋，還是為當(dāng)?shù)卣�客郵寄傳單，你都可以通過親身實(shí)踐體驗(yàn)到真實(shí)的世界。因此推斷同時(shí)你可以探索你的專業(yè)和職業(yè)興趣。故選E。

【3】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)段落標(biāo)題Meet interesting people.和下文No matter what groups of people you’re working with, you’ll find that they have information and ways of looking at the world that can broaden your horizons.可知，做志愿活動(dòng)可以遇到有趣的人，不管你和哪一群人一起工作，你都會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們有可以拓寬你的視野的信息和不同的看待世界的方式。因此推斷你所幫助的人和你的志愿者同行都能給你對(duì)世界的新的理解。故選G。

【4】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)上文Some high schools offer academic credit for volunteer work through service learning. 可知，一些高中通過服務(wù)學(xué)習(xí)為志愿工作者提供學(xué)分。因此推斷這是一個(gè)通過為社區(qū)服務(wù)提供實(shí)踐性學(xué)習(xí)的項(xiàng)目。故選F。

【5】考查段落大意。根據(jù)下文It’s eye-opening(令人瞠目的) to realize that doing even small things can have a big impact on others.并結(jié)合下文例子可知，意識(shí)到做一些小事也有很大的影響是令人吃驚的，因此推斷本段講述做志愿活動(dòng)是有影響的。故選A。
