【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Whether you are a student, professional or a retiree (退休者), anyone is welcome to make a difference and contribute to protecting some of the most beautiful islands in the world.”（无论你是学生、专业人士还是退休人员，欢迎任何人为保护世界上一些最美丽的岛屿做出贡献。）可知，学生、专业人士和退休人员都可以参加这项活动，再结合第一段下面报名要求中的“Requirement: General level of fitness”（要求：正常的健康水平）和“Age: 18+”（年龄: 18岁以上）可知，报名人员要身体健康并且年龄超过18岁，浏览选项，“A retired maths teacher.”是“一名退休的数学老师”，符合要求，可以报名参加这个保护志愿者项目，“A primary school student.”是“一个小学生”，年龄不符合，“A scientist with heart disease.”（一个患有心脏病的科学家）和“A businessman in a wheelchair.”（一个坐轮椅的商人）健康状况不符合，故排除。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“What will I be doing?”部分关键句“Tree planting”（植树）和“Seed collection”（收集种子）可知，在这项活动中，你可以植树，还可以收集种子，由此可知，在志愿者之旅中，你能收集种子并种植树木，A项中的“go shopping”文中没有提到，B项中的“go fishing”文中没有提到，C项中的“Protect weeds”文中没有提到，故排除。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段关键句“Choose a suitable city and travel out to your conservation (保护) site to work with local people!”（选择一个合适的城市，旅行去你的保护区与当地人一起工作！）可知，本文主要是征集志愿者去其他城市参与当地的保护工作，由此可推断出，这篇文章可能出自于与旅行相关的东西，“A travel magazine”意为“一本旅游杂志”，符合文章出处。故选B项。
