Question

Wearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain

Red Nose Day (RND) is well-known in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.

Red nose?

Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. It’s called Red Nose Day, as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.

When is RND?

Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so famous that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days. This year Red Nose Day was on 13^th March 2015.

Money

Across Britain, people are encouraged to “Do Something Funny for Money”. The money that is collected helps children to go to school, and educates the adults with HIV and AIDS. Comic Relief also works closely with disabled and elderly people to make sure they have equal rights and a better life.

So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It’s all for a good cause! If you want to find out more about the day, have a look at the official Read Nose Day website.

Answer

to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief ☞A.选项To raise money for Comic Relief

1.Ｃ

细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis”可知不是在1895，而是在1985，故A是错误的。第二段最后一句“…Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.”可知是帮助非洲和英国有需要的人。故B是错误的。根据第8 段中的“The money that is collected helps children to go to school, and educates the adults with HIV and AIDS.”可知帮助儿童上学和教育有艾滋的人或携带艾滋病毒的人。故C是正确的。

2.Ｄ

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Across Britain, people are encouraged to “Do Something Funny for Money”.和最后一段“So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!”在英国，人们被鼓励为筹集资金做些有趣的事。因此如果你是在英国的红鼻子日，现在你知道为什么你会发现正常人戴着红色的鼻子和做愚蠢的事情！分析以上的内容可中那一天不是做红鼻子，也不是为钱工作，也没有把身体涂红，而是人们要戴着红鼻子，脸看起来滑稽。故选D。

【解析】 本篇文章主要讲述英国的红鼻子日，这一天人们戴着红鼻子来为慈善筹集资金，去帮助非洲和英国的有需要的人。

【名师点睛】细节理解型答题策略

文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应。（2）语言转述型。答案与题目在意义上运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另一种表达。（3）语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。（5）事实排序型。

节理解题主要的答题策略有：

（1）细节审题，直接就根据题目找答案。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。

（2）变通理解，间接转述。细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述，命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生，即对原句细微处做改动，截取原文词语或结构进行改造，因果倒置，把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。

（3）多点归纳，综合事实找答案。细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息，而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时，一定要全面捕捉相关信息，进行综合分析、归纳，切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。

1.A【解题剖析】此题属于细节理解中的（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合。
