第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

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．They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal．Now there are over 7000 charity shops in the UK．My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s 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 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（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．

56．The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _________________．

A．its convenient location B．its great variety of goods

C．its spirit of goodwill D．its nice shopping environment

57．The first charity shop in the UK was set up to _________________．

A．sell cheap products B．deal with unwanted things

C．raise money for patients D．help a foreign country

58．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A．What to Buy at Charity Shops．

B．Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development．

C．Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate．

D．The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops．

B

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasing popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather report, and then drives up to 1000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. T
