Question

Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny.

    Research shows that students are extremely passionate(熱情的)about supporting charity（慈善）--- 88％of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high because this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19％ of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than￡5，000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not possible.

    Beth Truman, a 21year old recent university graduate has used Everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”

    Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.

    Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.

【解析】

試題分析：Wugging是web use giving的縮寫，這是一種通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)點(diǎn)擊就可以做慈善的活動，而且也是一種很受學(xué)生歡迎的舉措。本文作者通過調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)和真人實(shí)例來說明這種網(wǎng)絡(luò)贈與活動給慈善事業(yè)和學(xué)生同時(shí)帶來了好處，是一個雙贏的舉措。

1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章首句Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user.可知Wugging就是通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)點(diǎn)擊來做慈善，所以B為正確選項(xiàng)。

2.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段Beth 說的話“but it's sometimes hard to give to others和Wugging is great for people in this age group……o give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”可以判斷她認(rèn)為這種活動使捐贈更為方便了，所以答案選B。

3.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知這項(xiàng)舉措既能使學(xué)生不花錢就能做慈善活動，又能使慈善機(jī)構(gòu)獲得基金來源，所以是雙贏的行為，故答案選C。

4.D主旨大意題。文章開頭對Wugging即網(wǎng)絡(luò)贈與活動進(jìn)行了簡單介紹，然后又通過調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)和學(xué)生的講述來證明這項(xiàng)活動給學(xué)生和慈善帶來的好處，故D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容更能體現(xiàn)文章中心，所以D為正確選項(xiàng)。
