Question

19．If you visited your Qzone，Youku．com or other social media websites recently，you might have thought that some famous people and even some of your friends had gone mad．
They took buckets（桶） of icy water and poured them over their heads．They recorded the process，and even asked you to join them!
Welcome to the Ice Bucket Challenge．The challenge is simple：When challenged，one either pours a bucket of icy water over his or her head or donates $100 to the ALS（肌萎缩侧索硬化） Organization．He or she can do both，of course．
As the challenge has got more and more popular，however，I think that it has lost its real meaning．The activity's initial（最初的） purpose was to make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money for scientists to treat the disease．However，the videos have caught people's attention too far from the real purpose of the activity．Many people did it just for fun or to follow the trend（潮流）．They didn't even know what ALS was，let alone donate money to the charity．
Some people even tried hard to take the challenge in a funny way．They didn't know how bad the ALS patients would feel if they watched those videos．
At the same time，the world is facing another challenge-the water crisis（危机）．According to The Washington Post，the Ice Bucket Challenge had already used over 5 million gallons （14 million liters） of water by August，which put the world's freshwater reserves（储存） under a lot of pressure．
In short，the Ice Bucket Challenge has changed from a good thing to a show．ALS patients need our kindness，help and respect．We should do something to help them．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文讲述了在很多网站上出现了冰桶挑战比赛，这一活动的初衷是让人们关注肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）并且捐钱给科学家去研究治疗这种疾病的方法，但是现在人们却偏离了这一初衷，成为了一种玩乐和做秀，并且还浪费了太多饮用水，导致了水危机．

解答 29．C 细节理解题．根据文章第三段第二句话The activity's initial（最初的） purpose was to make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money for scientists to treat the disease可知，冰桶挑战的最初的目的是让更多的人关注ALS，并且捐钱给科学家去研究治疗这种疾病的方法，因此答案选C．
30．A 细节理解题．根据文章第四段最后一句话They didn't even know what ALS was，let alone donate money to the charity可知他们甚至不知道ALS是什么，更别说捐钱了，因此A项表述是错误的．根据文章第四段倒数第二句话Many people did it just for fun or to follow the trend（潮流）可知B项表述正确；根据文章倒数第二段At the same time，the world is facing another challenge-the water crisis（危机）．According to The Washington Post，the Ice Bucket Challenge had already used over 5 million gallons （14 million liters） of water by August，which put the world's freshwater reserves（储存） under a lot of pressure可知C、D两项表述正确，因此根据题目要求答案选A．
31．B 推理判断题．根据文章整体内容来看，作者认为冰桶挑战偏离了它的最初的目的，因此对这一活动表示担忧，因此答案选B．
