题目内容
Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Many well-known people come to help those who are in trouble. And this was the case for basketball player Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究员) find a medical cure. Fund-raising, or charity, is an act of goodwill(好意) towards others.
Charities in the West have more ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a rich woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten(筋疲力尽的) horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. She turns on the television, and sees a picture of a wide–eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with a request (请求) for money to help the child. The tickets for the charity shows often cost her a lot of money, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick.
Edna, a little old lady, looks after a second-hand shop—a charity shop. Any profit (收益) it has made goes to a cancer(癌症) charity. Now that she doesn’t have to work, she has lots of time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue (美德) that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish writer Henry Drummond.

小题1:细节题。结合Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究员) find a medical cure可知答案。
小题2:推断题。Ruth确实繁忙但并没有流露出feel tired 之意,寻读“The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind…” 和 “She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick.” 等句可看出她并没有因为很多人让她捐钱而生气,因此B项、C项均排除。D项没有提到。关于Edna,文中讲到她已退休,有足够的闲暇时间提供免费服务,因此A项正确。
小题3:细节题。结合倒数第二段可知答案。
小题4:细节题。结合It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals 可知答案
小题5:语义推测题,选D。划线部分本意是“当你回顾你的生活时,往往是你帮助了别人的那些时刻或情景会在你的记忆中清晰地显现(stand out)。” 因此选A。
