1.主旨大意题。这篇短文为我们讲述的是中国红十字会为受海啸袭击的国家进行捐赠，目前已收到18百万的捐款。这些捐款已被送到了受灾国家。另外，中国红十字会还组织营救队到受灾国家进行支援。根据这个短文的第一段最后reports from the RCSC…可以判段这篇短文应该来源于报纸。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中…were sent to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Maldives soon after they were hit by the killer disaster可知，一部分捐款已经被送到受灾的国家，像印度尼西亚、斯里兰卡、泰国、马尔代夫。故应该选B。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第三段中two RCSC’s rescue (营救) teams have arrived in Indonesia and Sri Lanka on Friday.可知，两支营救队已经到达了印度尼西亚和斯里兰卡。故选B。

4.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中The rest of the money will be sent for rebuilding villages, schools and orphanages可知，余下的捐款将被用于灾后重建村庄、学校和孤儿院。故选D。

5.推理判断题。根据短文第一句话The Red Cross Society of China（RCSC）has so far received 150 million yuan (18 million U.S. dollars) as donation for tsunami-hit countries可知A选项中的捐款数目不对;根据A third team will go to Thailand early next week可知第三支营救队将于下周到达,故B不对;根据two RCSC’s rescue teams have arrived in Indonesia and Sri Lanka on Friday可知,两支营救队到达了印度尼西亚和斯里兰卡,而不是泰国,故C不对;根据短文的最后一段可知,这些捐款的使用将在中国红十字会的网站上及时公布,故D选项是正确的。
