Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book C turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public lace, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.4. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.

D【解析】【分析】本文主要描述一个叫做 BookCrossing 的网站，包括这个网站如何注册，网站的线上及线下运营模式和该网站的意义。【4题详解】推理推断题。根据第一段中Now，the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group可以推测，作者提及读书小组是为了介绍 BookCrossing 这个网站，其他选项不符合文意。故选B.【5题详解】猜测词义题。根据第二段中hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it可知最后的 it 指代的是前文提到的主语the book. 此处指找到这本书的新读者，故选A.【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段中Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops.可知网站的成员在得到书之后会把书留在公园的长椅上或者巴士上或者火车站和咖啡店，方便其他陌生人读书，故选C.【7题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要描述一个叫做 BookCrossing 的网站，包括它的注册，网站的线上及线下运营模式和该网站的意义。根据文中Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.和the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.可知这个网站使书籍充分发挥了其作用，让更多的人能够读到这些书。D项A Website Links People through Books.概括全文，说明了其意义。故选D.【点睛】细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。本文主要描述一个叫做 BookCrossing 的网站，包括它如何注册，网站的线上及线下运营模式和该网站的意义。2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题3考查BookCrosser 读完书后会怎么做，C项意为“将书传递给其他读者”，根据文章第四段第一句Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops.可知网站的成员在得到书之后会把书留在公园的长椅上或者巴士上或者火车站或者咖啡店，方便其他陌生人读书，故C项正确。A项意为“和其他读者会面来讨论书籍”，文章未提及，A项错误；B项意为“在他的书架里保存”，根据文章第五段最后一句the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home可知，这个想法是为了不让人们太自私，把自己的书都放在家里的书架上积灰。故B项错误；D项，意为将书寄回给拥有者，文章未提及，故D项错误。CSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one ofSteins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists likeSteintomake the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shopperstopurchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energytoproduce and transport. And while plastic bags may be uglytolook at, they represent a small percentage of allgarbageon the ground todayThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energytomake. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont dispute（质疑） these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shopperstouse the same reusable bags for years.8. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B.

Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A【解析】文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况，塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋尽管容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.和第二段plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.可知，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害，是对塑料袋被禁用的解释和争论。故选D。【9题详解】词义猜测题。上文介绍在许多美国大城市塑料袋被禁用，看到这种现状，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。headwinds意为“逆风”，此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状，即Bans on plastic bags，故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.可知，塑料袋生产商认为生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源，故选D。【11题详解】标题归纳题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，最适合作为标题。故选A。点睛：概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，要看懂全文的主要内容，明白了主要内容就能准确概括文章标题)。小题4要求概括标题，本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。DBody language is the quietest, secretest and most powerful language of all!
