Question

    A book-sharing program

Where can you borrow a book? Of course in a library! But in Hefei, Anhui Province, you can also do it in some bookstores.

Ten bookstores in Hefei are doing a book-sharing program. With an app on the smart phone and a 99-yuan deposit, a reader can borrow up to 2 books from any one of the ten bookstores and keep them for up to 10 days for free. Readers just need to scan the QR code (扫描二维码) on the back of each book to borrow and return it.

The program started from a Xinhua Bookstore in Hefei on July 16, 2017. Since then, more than 20,000 people have borrowed over 100,000 books through the app. Now not only the readers in Hefei can borrow books from the stores, but the readers in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, too. 120 convenience stores in the city joined the program on August 26, 2017. There are about 300 new books for readers to borrow.

For some people, it’s much easier to get to a bookstore than to a library. And the shared books are often new and popular. The people that started the book-sharing program hope that it can encourage more people to read in China.

【解析】

文章介绍了在安徽合肥、河北石家庄等地的书店里可以通过手机扫描二维码进行共享图书的项目。这个项目不仅给读者读书、借书和买书提拱了方便，而且也鼓励了更多的中国人去读书。

1.细节理解题。根据“The program started from a Xinhua Bookstore in Hefei on July 16, 2017.”该项目于2017年7月16日在合肥一家新华书店启动。可知，图书共享项目在合肥启动。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据“Ten bookstores in Hefei are doing a book-sharing program.”可知，合肥10家书店正在开展图书共享计划。故选A。

3.词义猜测题。根据“a reader can borrow up to 2 books from any one of the ten bookstores and keep them for up to 10 days for free.”一个读者可以从十家书店中的任何一家借到最多两本书，并免费保存最多10天。可知，免费阅读，是有条件的，因为书是有价格的，书店就用交押金的方式来杜绝不还和损坏。因此文中的deposit应该是“押金”的意思。故选A。

4.细节理解题。根据“…a reader can borrow up to 2 books from any one of the ten bookstores….一个读者可以从十家书店中的任何一家借到最多两本书。而没有提到如果读者是这个项目的一员，他最多可以借三本书。因此A不对；根据“The program started from a Xinhua Bookstore in Hefei on July 16, 2017.”该项目于2017年7月16日在合肥一家新华书店启动。因此B不对；根据“For some people, it’s much easier to get to a bookstore than to a library.”对有些人来说，去书店比去图书馆容易得多。可知C正确。故选C。

5.主旨大意题。根据“The people that started the book-sharing program hope that it can encourage more people to read in China.”发起这项图书共享计划的人们希望它能鼓励更多的中国人阅读。故选C。
