Unit 1 Great scientists.閱讀理解2017·石家莊二模If you watch British television on March 15，you might be surprised to see celebrities(名人) wearing funny red noses and joking around.But don't worry.They're not mad.It's all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day. Founded in 1985 by two British comedians，the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa.Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows.For example，UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction，which the band produced for the event.Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year，but they do it all year round.One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops.These small shops sell clothes，books and household goods just like any other shop except that it's all secondhand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK.Their business model is simple：Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop，where they are checked for damage，cleaned and priced.The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant，but for shoppers who have less spending money，it has been a welcome option.Now，shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion.“You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price.It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them.I simply wash them before I wear them.” said Anne Marie，a 19­year­old from the US.So next time you spot a charity shop，why not go inside？Who knows，you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds.Even better，you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.1Why did Cameron appear in One Direction's music video?ATo earn a living.BTo support the band.CTo help raising money.DTo entertain the audience.2Where are the goods of charity shops from?ALocal bands.

has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly.Several passers­by stop to help the man.One woman reaches into her purse for her cellphone and hits 911，the emergency number._1_Within ten minutes，the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and is sent to the hospital for life­saving treatment.This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities.Over the years，cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies._2_But none of this would be possible without the cooperation of car drivers who yield(讓路)to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets.In fact，it's against the law for drivers not to yield.To yield means to give away or，more specifically，to get out of the way._3_As yet，China doesn't have any specific laws that require drivers to yield，whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles._4_Drivers did not yield when they heard the ambulance's siren.In Canada，failing to yield to an ambulance vehicle can result in a fine of $ 400­$ 2,000 and reduction of three points off your license.That's for a first offense._5_This punishment is severe because lives are in danger.AIt has resulted in many lives being saved.BA second offense results in a bigger fine，the loss of your driver's license for two years and a possible jail sentence.CIt saves lives and，who knows，someday it may save your own.DThree minutes later，sirens(警報(bào))are heard in the distance as a police car，an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area.EIt means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass.FRecently，an injured Beijing cyclist died on the way to hospital because the ambulance carrying him got stuck in city traffic.GSafe driving depends on driver's being aware of the traffic around them and yielding when necessary.答案：1.D解析：根據(jù)前文“One woman reaches into her purse for her cellphone and hits 911，the emergency number.”可知此處應(yīng)該是指警車來(lái)了。2A解析：根據(jù)前文“Over the years，cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies”可知，此處應(yīng)該是表示結(jié)果，所以選擇A項(xiàng)。3E解析：根據(jù)前文是在解釋“To yield means to give away or，more specifically，to get out of the way.”此處是在做進(jìn)一步的解釋。4F解析：根據(jù)前文提到“China doesn't have any specific laws that require drivers to yield，.，”所以此處是給出一個(gè)具體的例子。與下文中的描述相呼應(yīng)。5B解析：根據(jù)前文“That's for a first offense.”可知此處指的是a

when Li Hua was taking off a bus on his way home，he offered his seat to a woman carried a baby.However，she didn't receive even a reply like “Thanks”，what made him a little bit annoyed.Volunteered to help people in need is a traditionally virtue in China.Everyone has a responsibility to help others.Therefore，do not always expect those you help to reward your kindness.As far as the person who accept help is concerned，it would be polite to express his or her gratitude.Two powerful word like “Thank you” are easy to say and mean a lot.As long as everyone was ready to help others，the world will become beautiful place.
