Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That's what the National Garden Scheme(NGS)(国家花园计划) has been doing. The organization opens over 3,500 private(私人的) gardens in England and Wales for people to visit, and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes.
The NGS has a rich and interesting history. At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district(地区) nursing through the nation's obsession(沉迷) with gardening. A year later the NGS began to work and garden owners were asked to open their gardens for "a shilling(先令) a head". As a result, 609 gardens opened and a total of £8,191 was raised that year.
During the past century, the number of gardens grew, so the NGS was able to help more charities with a larger amount of money. Thanks to the kindness of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far. It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence(便士) in every £1(1 pound=100 pence) went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen's Institute of Community Nursing.
The National Garden Scheme doesn't just open beautiful gardens for charity. Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health.

答案
B
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的国家花园计划,这个计划将国民对园艺的热爱与慈善活动结合在了一起。
31. C 细节理解题。根据第一段"Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That's what the National Garden Scheme(NGS) has been doing."可知,国家花园计划将园艺与慈善结合在了一起,它的本质是一个慈善计划。故选C。
32. A 细节理解题。根据第二段"At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district nursing through the nation's obsession with gardening."可知,Elsie Wagg提出借助国民对园艺的热爱来为社区护理筹钱,由此可知,英国人对园艺的热爱使Elsie Wagg将花园视为筹钱的一种途径。故选A。
33. B 数字计算题。根据第三段"It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence in every £1 (1 pound=100 pence) went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support ..."可知,2024年,国家花园计划捐赠的每1英镑中约有70便士直接去往类似麦克米伦癌症基金会这样的组织,即每350万英镑中约有70%(350×70%=245万英镑)直接去往这些组织。故选B。
34. D 推理判断题。根据第四段"Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health."可知,国家花园计划的"花园与健康"项目向人们展示了园艺和花园在帮助人们走向健康方面的重要作用,由此可推断出,学习园艺是个好主意,因为它能帮助人们健康生活。故选D。
易错题点拨 A:根据第二段"At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea ... A year later the NGS began to work"以及NGS官方历史记载,该计划在1926年只是提出构想,1927年才正式启动运作,故不选;B:根据第一段"raises money through tickets, tea and cakes"可知,茶点是用于筹款的商品,并非免费提供,故不选;C:根据第三段"it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far"可知,7000万英镑是截至目前的捐赠总额,而非20世纪的捐赠数额,故不选。只有D选项可以从文章中推理出来,故选D。
35. D 写作意图题。通读全文可知,作者主要介绍了英国的国家花园计划,该计划将国民对园艺的热爱与慈善活动结合起来,在慈善方面做出了突出贡献。故选D。
