Question

【題目】 The great thing about libraries is that they house all types of books—from mysteries to biographies to dramas—all in one location. The bad thing about libraries is that they house all types of books in one location, and if it’s a location you can’t get to, you’re out of luck. Now, mobile library solutions are appearing quickly around the country to bring books to people who need them.

A few years ago, when the Little Free Libraries Movement launched, more people of all ages could have access to books. Now, more than 15,000 free book stands can be found around the world, bringing books to unexpected places. But many folks simply can’t get to the places where the books are. Bookmobile buses are a good solution, but they can be expensive to fund and to operate.

Books on bikes programs are popping up（出現(xiàn)）in areas where there is a strong bike culture, such as Seattle, or a strong need to bring books to the masses, such as in San Francisco.

The Seattle Public Library’s Books on Bikes program is made up of three bike/trailer combos（復(fù)合）that librarians bring to community events. The trailers are even Wi-Fi enabled so that visitors can sign up for a library card and browse（瀏覽）the library’s card catalog on the spot.

“Seattle has a really strong bike culture so we want to tap into that and provide full service library programs but do it in a way that is quick and smart.” librarian Jared Mills said in an interview.

San Francisco’s program, called Bibliobicicleta, was launched in 2013 by librarian Alicia Tapia. Her trailer can hold about 100 books and attracts readers of all ages and income levels. It’s an independent, donation—based library—ike a Little Free Library, but on wheels.

When asked why she would launch a free library on a bike, Tapia answers, “Why not? Bikes are cool, and can go anywhere.”

【解析】

本文是記敘文。文章介紹了新型的自行車圖書館。和傳統(tǒng)的圖書館相比，自行車圖書館靈活機動且成本低廉，對讀者也很有吸引力。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“The great thing about libraries is that they house all types of books—from mysteries to biographies to dramas—all in one location. The bad thing about libraries is that they house all types of books in one location, and if it’s a location you can’t get to, you’re out of luck. ”圖書館最大的優(yōu)點是，它們把各種類型的書——從神秘小說到傳記再到戲劇——都放在一個地方。圖書館不好的地方在于他們把所有的書都放在一個地方，如果你找不到那個位置，那你就倒霉了�？梢酝浦�，傳統(tǒng)的圖書館雖然圖書館有很多優(yōu)點，但它有時對一些讀者來說并不方便。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后的“Bookmobile buses are a good solution, but they can be expensive to fund and to operate”流動圖書館是一個很好的解決方案，但是它們的資金和運營成本都很高�？芍�，流動汽車圖書館的缺點是成本很高。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句中的“Books on bikes programs are popping up in areas where there is a strong bike culture, such as Seattle”自行車上的圖書館在Seattle等自行車文化濃厚的地區(qū)涌現(xiàn)出來�？梢酝浦�，在Seattle，自行車很流行。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中When asked why she would launch a free library on a bike, Tapia answers, “Why not? Bikes are cool, and can go anywhere.” 當(dāng)被問到為什么她會推出自行車上的免費圖書館時，塔皮婭回答說：“為什么不呢？自行車很酷，可以去任何地方。”由Tapia的回答此可推斷出，她認為自行車圖書館非常方便實用。故選D。
