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 a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which aims to bring positive and lasting changes to the lives of poor and disadvantaged people.
Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis, who wrote the series Blackadder as well as the famous films Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Lenny Henry. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.
The money collected from RND is used to help fund projects in many areas. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon（长时间电视广播节目）has raised over￡82.1 million! Money raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone, using a credit card and online.
Getting sponsored（赞助）to do something is a common way to raise money on RND. If someone sponsors you, it means that he agrees to give you a certain amount of money for your actions.
On the evening of Red Nose Day, a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channel. This is like a television marathon that shows a selection of the events of the day. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.

1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which aims to bring positive and lasting changes to the lives of poor and disadvantaged people.可知，Comic relief的目的是帮助那些需要帮助的人。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句 It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear！可知，该节日的名称源于节日当天所销售的产品。
3.C 主旨大意题。通读第三段可知，节日当天，电视上播放与之有关的节目，集资活动遍布全国，而且人们通过各种方式参与，这说明该节日在英国广受欢迎。
II.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。5·20是网民的情人节。像很多网络语言一样，5·20节日源于它的发音像中文“我爱你”。网民在这一天也是很疯狂的：玫瑰价格飙升，很多人选择在这一天登记结婚，还有网民在这一天制造各种各样的浪漫。
1.G 根据空后的 traditional Chinese lovers，day on lunar July 7，and Western Valentine’s Day on February 14可知，本句提到了农历七月初七的中国传统情人节和2月14日的西方情人节。这与G选项中的 the other two lovers days相呼应。
2.F 根据第一段最后一句 The Chinese pronunciation for “five two zero” sounds like “I love you”.可知，此处描述了网民创造5·20节日的缘由—发音。故选F。
3.B 根据第二段第二句 According to Tencent News，roses that normally sell for 3 yuan each are around 20 yuan on this special day.可知，根据腾讯新闻报道，正常卖3元每支的玫瑰在这特殊的一天售价达20元左右。这与B选项中的 many holidays are a craze相呼应。

5.D 根据第四段第二句His “wrapping” was a Santa costume and he stuck a package receipt onto his chest.可知，他的“包装材料”是圣诞老人装，他在自己的胸前贴上了一张包裹收据。由此可推断，本空应该涉及快递业务，与D选项中的 mailed一词相呼应。
