Charity(慈善)shops are special stores that sell donated items(捐赠物) to raise money for good causes. In countries like the UK, USA and Canada, they are often called"thrift stores". The word"thrifty"means being careful with money and not wasting things. These shops sell second-hand clothes, books, and toys at low prices. Some also sell products(产品)made by people in poor areas. All the money helps different charities that support medical research, animal welfare(福利), and people in need.
China has charity shops too. The first one opened in Shanghai in 2003. Now there are more than 200 charity shops in Shanghai's communities. The people working in these shops are volunteers. They don't get paid-they work to help others. Their job is to organize all the donated items.
Charity shops do two important things. First, they raise money to help those in need. Second, they help the environment by reusing things instead of throwing them away. When you give or buy at a charity shop, you become part of this cycle of kindness that helps both people and our planet.

7. 阅读短文,回答问题

Have you ever visited a history museum? Near Chengdu, China, there is a special museum called Sanxingdui. It holds ancient treasures from over 3, 000 years ago. These artifacts(古器物)change what we know about China's past.
Inside the museum, you will see amazing things. There is a very tall bronze statue(青铜雕像)with big eyes and large ears. Golden masks(面具)are so thin that they look like they could float. The most interesting piece is a bronze tree with birds and dragons on its branches. Long ago, people may have believed this tree connected heaven(天堂)and earth.
Sanxingdui is full of mysteries(神秘). Scientists found these objects in 1986, but there are no writings to tell us about the people who made them. Who were they? Why did they disappear? When you visit, you can try to solve these puzzles(谜)yourself.
The museum building looks modern. If you want to learn more about the ancient culture, you can use screens to see the artifacts closely. There is also a VR room that shows what life might have been like in this ancient culture.
Sanxingdui teaches us that history still has many secrets. The more we learn, the more questions we have. Maybe the ancient people wanted us to keep wondering about them.
(1)、Where is the Sanxingdui Museum?(2)、What does the tall bronze statue look like?(3)、How can visitors learn more about the ancient culture at the museum?(4)、If you could visit the Sanxingdui Museum, what would you like to do there? Why?(5)、将划线的句子译成中文。六、第三部分 综合技能(共两节,满分25分)第二节 写作(共1题,满分15分)
