million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个图书漂流的网站，该网站鼓励人们拿出自己的图书与他人分享，如今超过135个国家的一百多万人成为该网站的会员。7why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?ato explain what they are.bto introduce bookcrossing.cto stress the importance of reading.dto encourage readers to share their ideas.【解析】推理判断题。由题干定位到第一段，该段首先说阅读是一种社会性的活动，然后谈到读书小组(book groups)，接下来说到bookcrossing这个网站，说该网站给传统的读书小组翻开了新的一页(turns the page on)，然后逐段介绍这个网站的做法，由此推断，介绍读书小组的目的是引出这个网站，因此选b项。a项“解释它们的含义”，c项“强调阅读的重要性”，d项“鼓励读者分享他们的观点”，均不是作者提到读书小组的目的，可排除。【答案】b8what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?athe book.ban adventure.ca public place.dthe identification number.【解析】词义猜测题。画线词在第二段，该段详细介绍这个网站的具体做法：会员去网站登记自己愿意分享的书，网站给这本书一个身份编号并贴在书中，主人把书留在公共场所，希望这本书会跟“找到它的每个新读者”一起旅行。由此可知代词it指前文提到的the book。b项“一次冒险”，c项“一处公共场所”，d项“身份编号”，均不是it所指的内容。【答案】a9what will a bookcrosser do with a book after reading it?ameet other readers to discuss it.bkeep it safe in his bookcase.cpass it on to another reader.dmail it back to its owner.【解析】推理判断题。从题干中的after reading it判断答案在第四段。该段说，人们在看完一本书之后就把书留在公园的长凳、公共汽车、火车站及咖啡馆等地方，下一位找到这本书的人就到网站上记录他们找到这本书的地点，由此可推断选c项“把书继续传递给另一位读者”。a项“与其他读者会面，讨论这本书”，b项“把书妥善保存在书架上”，d项“把书邮寄给他的主人”，均不是会员的做法。【答案】c10what is the best title for the text?aonline reading：a virtual tourbelectronic books：a new trendca book group brings tradition backda website links people through books【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了bookcrossing这个网站，因此这篇文章的标题应体现出“网站”这一关键点，再根据第三段中的the people you meet and books you read可知只有d项涵盖了这些信息。【答案】d.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to
