問題詳情:
I love 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 won’t 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 charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐贈物). 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 <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />
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 don’t 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(資助)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.

【回答】
本文主要介紹了慈善商店的基本特*以及慈善商店的建立與發展。
40.C 推理判斷題。由第一段第四句"The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause”“我“最喜歡慈善商店的一點是你的錢用於有用的事業可推斷出C 項為正確*。"goodwill”含義為“好意”
41.D 事實細節題。由第二段第二、三兩句"the famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful……” 可知第一個慈善商店的建立是為了籌錢援助戰後的希臘。而從文章的第一段可知作者是英國人。因此,D項正確。C項中的"patients”未提。
42. A 事實細節題。由第四段第一句"The shops have very low running costs”可知A項正確。"running”相當於"operating”含義為“運營”由第三段第一句中"volunteer(志願者)"可知B項不正確。由第三段第二句可知慈善商店中90%以上的商品為公眾捐贈,但並不能推出是“二手貨”,故C項不正確。D項未提
43. C 主旨大意題。本文的最後一句為主題句。由"a good moral sense (好的道德感)"和"You provide funds to a good cause(你為一項有意義的事業提供資金)"可知 C項為最好題目。"Charity Shop: Where You Buy To Donate. (慈善商店----一個買東西就相當於捐款的地方。)
