第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I love charity 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 that 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 7,000 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, and all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better places 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 step lightly on the environment.

46. 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

47. 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

48. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?

A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid.

C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.

49. 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

50. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______ ?

A. the famous charity's appeal B. the first charity shop

C. postwar Greece D. the famous charity: Oxfam
