阅读理解专题卷24love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you wont find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charitys appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find childrens books, all 10 or 20 pence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they dont encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment. （08天津卷）1The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _.

The Publics Concern about Charity Shops.Last week, I was invited to a doctors meeting at the Ruth Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadnt long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.“Frank!” I cried in surprise. He couldnt answer, as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine. My thoughts raced back more than thirty years to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal. He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasnt quite true, because the Wests went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running and paced his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted me in the same way.5 How did the writer know that the patient was Frank?A. He was told that Frank was in the hospital. B. He was invited to study Franks illness.C.

Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. Im sorry to say that the men in the family my dad, my younger brother and myself rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but its not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who arent wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in. 9The purpose of the text is to _.A. tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day B. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving DayC. introduce foods served on Thanksgiving DayD. introduce the American Thanksgiving Day10On Thanksgiving Day the authors family do the following except _.A. watching a movie B. making visitsC. having a big meal D. watching football11Why does the authors mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?A.

Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday of December.Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.“I dont often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Foxs Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.And probably Foxs Shadow was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You dont know who youre talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online.”Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have known someone very well. Foxs Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because Ive got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money. “If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you cant give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”14From the passage, we know“they are all just a few clicks away” means“ ”.Ait is wonderful to see your friends by clickingBit is popular to make friends onlineCit is possible to live much closer to your friendsDit is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends 15Foxs Shadow thinks QQ is .Aa good place to spend her time when bored Bthe biggest messaging service in ChinaCa safe place to chat with strangersDthe best place to make friends 16Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?AAll the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.BWe should think more of our friends in real life.CWe should be careful about boys or men online.DChatting online is a waste of time and money.17The underlined phrase means .Aturn on the computer Benter in QQ Csurf the internet Dmake friendsFacebook means never having to say goodbye The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends Last week, a guy whom I hadnt seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request I accepted and waited for Easy E to send me a greeting of some kind He had sought me out, after all I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son However, Im pretty sure we wont ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other But hell remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official listMy pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends There are 35 in all If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, Im confident that I could increase my friend count actuallyA person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better And some people can even handle hundreds of no-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions After all, there are worse fates than having too many friendsThanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back Thats normal People move from school to school, job to job, city to cityYou never have to feel guilty for breaking awayEvery day,the masterminds of Web 20 find new ways of making human communication easier However, convenience can be a crutch （拐杖） Some things shouldnt be simplifiedWhen it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts18According to Paragraph l, the website is famous because Ait has an interesting name of“ Facebook”Bit helps people get in touch with old friendsCit can send people a greeting of some kindDit reminds people of events in the past19From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer Awould write to the friend quite oftenBasked the friend to e-mail himCdid get some information about the friendDwould keep in touch with the friend forever20Which of the following statements is NOT true?AThere are 35 people in the authors list of friends right nowBThe author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mailsCThe list of35 friends doesnt include the old e-mail addressesDIt is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count21What does the write mean by saying “However, convenience can be a crutch（拐杖）”?

British and Swiss researchers carried out a study showing that advertisements made by celebrities like David Beckham and Scarlett Johansson are not as effective as those by ordinary people.In a sample of 298 students, researchers presented a magazine advertisement for a digital camera that was endorsed (为做广告宣扬) by a fictional student claiming the camera was “hot” and his “preferred choice”. The same advertisement was shown to other students, but with a difference: The camera was endorsed by a famous person in Germany.While the students said that both advertisements were beneficial, the one made by the student topped the celebrity one if students aimed to impress others with their purchase
