2.It's such a happy-looking library,painted yellow,decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven,it's pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates,along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available,she announced to her family of four,"That's what we're going to do for our spring break!"
Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted,and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses,and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches (裝點(diǎn)),the family hung a signboard on the front,instructing users to"take a book,return a book,"and making the Henriksen library,now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read,a mix of science fiction,reference titles,novels and kids'favorites."I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,"said Janey,a stay-at-home mom.
Since then,the collection keeps replenishing (補(bǔ)充) itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project's best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left behind."We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular."(317 words)

分析 文章主要介紹了Janey Henriksen一家建立微型圖書(shū)館的故事.

解答 66.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段中的"…it's pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach County Estates…"可知,這個(gè)圖書(shū)館位于人行道附近,是為了方便愛(ài)讀書(shū)的行人借書(shū)而建立的,因此B項(xiàng)正確.
67.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段第一句可知Janey Henriksen看到一篇關(guān)于the Little Free Library organization的報(bào)道后受到啟發(fā),因而產(chǎn)生了建立這樣的圖書(shū)館的想法.
68.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第四段第一句的內(nèi)容可知C項(xiàng)正確.
69.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第五段的內(nèi)容可知,這個(gè)標(biāo)牌要求借書(shū)者拿走一本書(shū)就要?dú)w還一本書(shū),其目的是使圖書(shū)館能夠持續(xù)更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間.
70.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句可知借書(shū)者經(jīng)常捐書(shū)給圖書(shū)館,因此A項(xiàng)正確.文章沒(méi)有提到為圖書(shū)館收集書(shū)會(huì)有報(bào)酬,因此B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文章最后一段提到Peter說(shuō)經(jīng)常收到借書(shū)者的感謝信,而不是借書(shū)者收到感謝信,因此C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文章倒數(shù)第二段第二句提到圖書(shū)館現(xiàn)在平均每天接待5個(gè)人,因此D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)從事情本身的發(fā)展去理解故事情節(jié)而不要只看事件在文中出現(xiàn)的先后順序.因此,考生要注意文章中與題干相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,并作認(rèn)真分析.
