A.Toraisemoneyforcharities.B.Tospreadknowledgeofcharities.

C.Totakeupmarketingcampaigns.D.Toadvertisetheirgoodsforsale.

答案解析：

答案为A。

本题为细节题。

从第一段第二句话“…decidedtomakeallitsmoney-raisingeffortsononetimeofyear.”可知，答案为A。

2.Whydopeoplestarttobecomecynicalaboutawarenessweeks?

A.Toomanyawarenessweeksmakepeoplefeelbored.

B.Peoplefeelmanyawarenessweeksarejustformarketingexercises.

C.Peoplehaveaweakawarenessofawarenessweeks.

D.Awarenessweeksareheldtoooftenandtoomuchmoneyisraised.

答案解析：

答案为B。

本题为细节题。

第四段中提到了人们开始对认知宣传周不满意，第五段中首句“Peoplefeelthatmanyawarenesscampaignsarejustmarketingexercises…”可知，答案为B。

3.WhatdoesMsOrmistonthinkaboutawarenessweeks?

A.Mostoftheawarenessweeksshouldnotbeformakingmoney.

B.Officialgroupsshouldtaketheplaceofcharitiesinawarenesscampaigns.

C.Peoplecandowhattheylikeinawarenessweeks.

D.Peoplecangetlargerbudgetsthroughawarenesscampaigns.

答案解析：

答案为A。

本题为细节题。

从第五段的最后一句话““But90percentofcampaignsarerunbytraditionalcharitiesornotforgroupstomakemoney.”可知，答案为A。

在第六段中MsOrmiston提到认知宣传活动没有正式的群体（noofficialgroupforawarenesscampaigns），因而人们可以做他们想做的，不考虑到活动经费或者公共关系机器所允许的范围。

故B，C，D都与文意不符。

4.Whichofthefollowingistherightmeasuretobetakentosolvetheproblemsinawarenesscampaigns?

A.Lawsshouldstopawarenessweeksrunbyrealcharities.

答案解析：

答案为D。

本题为推理题。

从倒数第二段首句“Thissituationhasledtocallsforlawstostoprealcharitieshavingtheireffortsovershadowedbymarketingcampaigns.”可知，要解决前面提到的问题就要制定法律来阻止真正的慈善活动被市场营销活动所过度遮蔽，言外之意就是市场营销活动不应在慈善活动的名义下进行。

故答案为D。

A选项与文意不符；B选项未提及。

倒数第二段的第二句话“Thiscouldbedonebymakingthetwogroupsholdtheirweeksatdifferenttimesorstoppingbusinessesrunningimitationcharitycampaigns.”可知，文中提到了“differenttimes”，而非C选项的“notbeheldatthesameplace”,故C选项不正确。

5.What’sthewriter’sviewonAwarenessWeeks?

B.NationalSmileWeekisagreatideatoimprovepeople’slife.

C.NationalWeakAwarenessWeekcanhelppeoplebetterunderstandawarenessweeks.

D.AwarenessWeeksshouldbestoppedbecauseofmarketingcampaigns.

答案解析：

答案为C。

本题考查作者的观点态度。

最后一段中，作者提到“Maybeit’stimeforNationalWeakAwarenessWeek,especiallyforpeoplewhoseawarenessofAwarenessWeeksisweak.”，由此可知，作者认为对那些认知宣传周意识薄弱的人要进行宣传，言外之意就是NationalWeakAwarenessWeek可以帮助人们更好的理解认知宣传周。

故答案为C。

A，B,D都与文意不符。
