2019年公共英语二级阅读理解练习题（11）
It’s wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence. But how can you become an international volunteer?
* Plan practically. Contact the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to attain for the project. What you often consider plentiful here, such as nails or hammers, is in great need in other parts of the world.
* Do the project together, not on your own. You are a guest in the community. The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away, but that you and the community build something as a team. Share skills and build together.
* Be flexible. Not everything is going to happen as planned. Often the other country doesn’t have the right tools, manpower, transportation or funds to get all the needed work done. In a word, they lack infrastructure(基础设施).
* Contact with the people in the community. Often you will have "downtime" outside of the range of the project. Rather than retreat to the group with whom you traveled, be sure to spend time with the people of the community. Listen to the things about their lives. If you can’t speak the language, smiles work wonders. And you will be surprised ― you will find a way to community.
Volunteering is a special and life-long experience for everyone involved. Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you. It’s a joyful, often careful experience which will encourage you to view yourself, your neighbors and your world quite differently.

【长难句解析】
1.It’s wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence.
【翻译】到另外一个国家，完成一个志愿者计划并感觉到自己真得有积极的影响真是太棒了。
【分析】本句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式结构to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence.这个真正的主语是由三个并列的不定式所组成的，其中的最后两个是由连词and连接在一起的。
2. Not everything is going to happen as planned.
【翻译】并不是每件事情都是按照计划发生的。
【分析】本句中的not everything是一个部分否定结构，当not和every, each, all, both连用的时候，无论not在这些词的前面还是后面都表示部分否定。而neither, none表示的是全部否定。
