填空题 {{B}}第三节短文理解 2{{/B}}
阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。

You might think the largest library in the world would be in Europe. But it isn't. It's in Washington, D.C. It's called the Library of Congress (国会图书馆).
President (总统) John Adams started the library in 1800 for members of Congress. He wanted them to be able to read books about law. The first 740 books were bought in England. They were simply set up in the room where Congress met. Then President Thomas Jefferson sold Congress many of his own books. He felt Congress should have books on all subjects, not just on lag. This idea changed the library forever.
The library grew and grew. Now it covers a lot of land. In it there are 20 million books as well as a great number of pictures, movies and machines. Experts (专家) in every field work there. Hundreds of people ring them up every day with all kinds of questions. Many of them get answers right over the phone.

单选题 Which country has the largest library in the world?

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[名师解析] 本题答案在第一段中，文章说如果你认为最大的图书馆在欧洲，那你就错了，因此A，B选项中的英国、法国都是错的，正确答案是C，在美国华盛顿。

单选题 Who started the library in 1800?

单选题 Where did the first 740 books come from?

单选题 What didn't President Thomas Jefferson do? [A] He sold the Congress many of his own books. [B] His idea changed the library forever. [C] He asked many experts to come to the library.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[名师解析] not题应该用排除法做，从文中第二段可以发现Thomas Jefferson总统做的事情，包括，卖给国会他自己的书，他认为国会应该有各式各样的书，这种想法永远地改变了图书馆，A，B选项都包括了，应此不该选，C选项叫了许多专家来，这并不是 Thomas Jefferson总统的行为。

单选题 What are there in the library except books?

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[名师解析] 本题问，除了书本之外，图书馆还有什么东西。从第三段中可以看出，图书馆还有大量的照片，电影，仪器以及专家。而并没有提到有饭店和旧邮票，应此A和 B是错的，C是正确的。

单选题 Who will answer your questions if you call the library?

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[名师解析] 答案在文章最后部分，文中说各个领域的专家都在那工作，每天都有几百个人打电话给他们，其中许多当场在电话中就得到了答案，那这个他们肯定就是这些专家了，其他两个选项根本就没提到。
