Knit a jumper, save a life
On an island in Antarctica, a group of penguins stand by the water. But these penguins don't look like ordinary penguins. Why? Because each one is wearing a cute, knitted jumper!
These jumpers help protect penguins when oil gets into the ocean. When penguins get oil on their feathers, they try to clean it off with their beaks. However, they end up eating the oil and getting very sick. That's where the jumpers come in. They stop the penguins from reaching the oil with their beaks. The penguins only need to wear the jumpers for a short time—just until rescue workers can clean them.
People from all over the world are joining the effort to knit jumpers for penguins. Over the past twenty years, knitters have sent more than 200,000 penguin jumpers to an organization in Australia. One British professor even left his job so that he could knit jumpers for the penguins full - time!
The jumpers must be made from a special kind of material, and they have to be the right shape and size. However, incorrectly made jumpers can still be useful. The organization uses them on toy penguins and sells the toys to raise money.
So, what are you waiting for? Take out your needles and knit a jumper. A knitted jumper can save a life!

答案：【解析】：本題主要考查了閱讀理解的能力，需要從文章中獲取關鍵信息來回答相關問題。題目給出了四篇關于為企鵝編織毛衣的雜志文章，并針對文章內容提出了四個問題。對于每個問題，我們需要仔細閱讀文章，找到與問題相關的信息，然后對比選項，選擇最符合文章內容的答案。
1. 第一個問題問的是毛衣在石油進入海洋時如何幫助企鵝。文章中明確提到，當企鵝的羽毛沾上石油時，它們會試圖用嘴清理，但最終會吃下石油并生病。而毛衣可以阻止企鵝用嘴接觸到石油，從而防止它們吃下石油。因此，答案是a，即毛衣阻止企鵝吃下石油。
2. 第二個問題問的是企鵝需要穿多久的毛衣。文章中提到，企鵝只需要穿很短時間的毛衣，直到救援人員能夠清洗它們。這意味著，一旦企鵝的羽毛被清洗干凈，它們就不再需要穿毛衣了。因此，答案是c，即直到它們的羽毛被清洗干凈。
3. 第三個問題問的是該組織收到了多少件毛衣。文章中明確提到，在過去的二十年里，編織者們已經(jīng)向澳大利亞的一個組織發(fā)送了超過20萬件企鵝毛衣。這表明該組織已經(jīng)收到了數(shù)十萬件毛衣。因此，答案是b，即它已經(jīng)收到了數(shù)十萬件毛衣。
4. 第四個問題問的是該組織如何處理錯誤制作的毛衣。文章中提到，即使毛衣制作不正確，也仍然有用。該組織會在玩具企鵝上使用這些毛衣，并出售這些玩具來籌集資金。這表明該組織會利用這些錯誤制作的毛衣來籌集資金。因此，答案是c，即該組織用這些毛衣來籌集資金。
【答案】：1. a；2. c；3. b；4. c。
