五、阅读理解。(2025·江苏南京鼓楼区期末)
Have you ever wanted to help someone in need or start a project for your community? GoFundMe might be the answer! Let's learn how GoFundMe works.
What Can You Do on GoFundMe?
Since 2010, GoFundMe has helped millions of people raise money for personal needs, community projects, or charity events. Here's how it works:
＞ Start Your Action: Share your story with photos or videos. For example, you could raise money for a sick pet, a school garden, or a family facing difficulties.
＞ Set a Goal: Decide how much money you need. Even small amounts can make a big difference!
＞ Share Widely: Send your story to teachers and friends, and post it on social media to let more people give a helping hand.
Why Is GoFundMe Special?
Unlike traditional charities, GoFundMe lets donors (捐赠者) choose exactly where their money goes. If you care about animals, you can donate your money to an animal centre. If you want to help a classmate with a serious disease, you can do that too!
Is It Safe?
Yes! GoFundMe needs a little money (about 2.9% per donation) to keep the website running well. They also use strong security (安全) tools to protect everyone's personal information. Over 150 million people have trusted GoFundMe—it's one of the safest crowdfunding platforms (众筹平台) in the world.

1. D 【点拨】根据“GoFundMe has helped millions of people raise money for personal needs, community projects, or charity events”可知，GoFundMe 是一个用于筹款的慈善组织。故选 D。
2. A 【点拨】由“GoFundMe needs a little money(about 2.9% per donation) to keep the website running well.”可知，每笔捐款会扣除 2.9%的费用。100,000 元扣除 2.9%（即 2900 元）后，玛丽能得到 97,100 元。故选 A。
3. C 【点拨】文章围绕“GoFundMe 是什么、如何运作、为何特别、是否安全”展开，核心是介绍这个安全且受欢迎的众筹平台。故选 C。

【分析】
这是一篇介绍众筹平台的说明类阅读理解，解题时可以按照先通读全文梳理行文脉络，再逐题带着题干关键词回原文定位的思路推进：第1题询问平台属性，直接找原文对GoFundMe的功能描述即可排除错误选项；第2题是细节计算题，定位平台服务费规则后做简单减法就能得出结果；第3题是主旨大意题，梳理全文几个介绍板块的核心内容，排除片面的干扰项就能锁定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段“Since 2010, GoFundMe has helped millions of people raise money for personal needs, community projects, or charity events”的描述，可知GoFundMe是用于慈善筹款的平台，A选项动物中心、B选项社区团体、C选项购物网站均不符合原文描述，因此选D。
2. 细节计算题：定位到Is It Safe?板块的“GoFundMe needs a little money (about 2.9% per donation) to keep the website running well”，可知每笔捐款要扣除2.9%的运营服务费，100000元的捐款扣除100000×2.9%=2900元后，玛丽实际可获得97100元，因此选A。
3. 主旨大意题：全文依次介绍了GoFundMe的功能、运作流程、独特优势、安全保障，核心目的是向读者介绍这个安全且受众广泛的众筹平台，A选项“展示如何选择线上慈善”、B选项“鼓励人们为世界做更多好事”、D选项“告知如何保护线上个人信息”均属于片面或不符合原文的表述，因此选C。
