14．Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru．Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru．He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life．So he asked the new priest（牧師）in his village to give him one．But there was no electricity．So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it．The next morning，he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read．
John Medcalf，the priest，was moved．He also realised that people would love to read if givena chance．But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books．And yet，no one can be taught to read and write without books．To make people in a poor，faraway area grow to love books，they have to be with them．So he thought the only way was tobring books to people．
But how could this be done？Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky，hilly land of Peru．So what other method could be used？
Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot（赤腳）doctors of China．And that was how the barefoot librarians（圖書管理員）first appeared in the villages of northern Peru，almost thirty years ago．
The librarians began by going from village to village，lending books to villagers．They helped start The 12ura1 Library Network of Peru．
At first，they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to．But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work．
So，village leaders took on the job themselves．
Today，there are 600 village libraries across Peru．The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline．

分析 試題分析：本文主要講述：由于達芬奇酷愛讀書的行為感動了牧師，并由此建立了赤腳圖書館的故事．
解答 1．C 推理判斷題．結合第一段最后一句The next morning，he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read可知，Leonardo不怕吃苦，非常喜歡讀書．故選：C．
2．B 詞義猜測題．由第二段最后一句So he thought the only way was to bring books to people可知，因此，他覺得唯一的辦法是把書帶給人們．由此可推知，this指代的是第二段最后一句So he thought the only way was to bring books to people．故選：B．
3．C 細節(jié)理解題．結合第四段第一句 Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot（赤腳）doctors of China 可知Medcalf是從中國的赤腳醫(yī)生這種現象上得到了靈感，文章并沒有提及Medcalf和中國的赤腳醫(yī)生在哪里相遇．故C項在文中沒有提到過．故正確答案為：C．
4．D 推理判斷題．結合最后一段第二句The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline．可知，赤腳圖書管理員的辛勤工作對于村莊圖書館的維持生存至關重要．故選：D．
