                        The book that can’t wait

One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never start reading them.

To   【1】 , a foreign publisher called Eterna Cadencia came up with a very clever idea: it printed the words of the books in disappearing ink: the text of the book vanishes(消失) two months after the special package of the book is opened, so that encouraging buyers to start reading it 【2】  it goes away. They call this “the book that can’t wait.”

According to a video presented with the story, the book was 【3】  . The publisher sold out the whole first edition(版) at a bookstore the day it was printed, and received “thousands of requests” for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of news reports. As a result, the publisher is planning to publish   【4】 kinds of books in disappearing ink.

In some ways, the idea is pretty clever. 【5】 , we still have some suggestions:

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：有很多拥有书的人都有一个问题就是他们买书啦但并没有开始阅读。本文介绍了一种不能等待的书。

1.为了解决这个问题，一个外国出版商想出一个非常聪明的主意。answer the question回答问题； take the place of books代替书本；solve this problem解决问题；be fond of the books 喜欢书。根据上句One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never start reading them.并且结合下句a foreign publisher called Eterna Cadencia came up with a very clever idea可推知该选C。

2.

3.这本书取得了巨大的成功。a terrible dream可怕的梦； a big problem大问题； a large amusement一个大型的娱乐； a great success巨大的成功。根据下句The publisher sold out the whole first edition(版) at a bookstore the day it was printed, and received “thousands of requests” for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of news reports. 可知该选D。

4.一样； other其他的； expensive昂贵的；successful成功的。联系上文可推出本句句意：作为一个结果，出版商计划用消失的墨水制作其他种类的书。所以选B。

5.在某些方面，这个想法非常聪明。然而，我们仍然有一些建议。However然而；So所以；Luckily幸运地；Finally最后。练习前后句句意可知该选A。

6.消失的书应该找到一个好的用途。 strange陌生的，奇怪的； hard困难的；good好的；traditional传统的。根据下句Maybe they can be recycled, or maybe we can use them as notebooks.可推知该选C。

考点：日常生活类短文。
