　　二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　Most volunteers spend a couple of hours each week in __1__ (volunteer) at one of the local community centers. Here is why volunteering is important.

　　New experience and insight

　　Volunteering is one way through __2__ people including students can develop academic, technical and social skills that otherwise could not __3__ (learn) in a classroom environment. Most of us feel that we lack time because of the career or studies we are pursuing.

　　A sense of __10__ (satisfy)

　　Volunteering is also one of the things you can do to help you feel good and build up your self­confidence.

　　答案：1.volunteering　spend ... (in) doing sth.意为"花费......做某事"。

　　2．which　way后是一个"介词＋关系代词"引导的限制性定语从句。设空处指代way，故填which。

　　3．be learned　that(指代academic, technical and social skills)与learn之间是被动关系，且设空处位于情态动词could之后，故填be learned。

　　4．it　设空处是形式主语，真正的主语是to take some time ... in our community，故填it。

　　5．harder　由than可知，应用比较级，故填harder。

6．the　最高级best前应用定冠词the。
