When we set up our bibliotherapy service through The School of Life in 2008, our【C3】______was obvious: to show people that books, and【C4】______novels, not only have the【C5】______to lift spirits, but to【C6】______fundamental psychological shifts, healing and enriching the heart, the intellect and the soul in extraordinary ways. But you could【C7】______that someone with depression would【C8】______to make their way to the library,【C9】______put a spring in their stride, simply by the offer of some mood enhancing reads. One of the things we have found as biblio -therapists is that clients with depression【C10】______a therapeutic book require a very【C11】______prescription. Some may want a book that offers some escape—【C12】______case the odd English humour of Dodie Smith"s / Capture the Castle may【C13】______.

单选题
【C1】
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析:that从句中的主语they指代上文提到的patients with depression(抑郁病人),从句的宾语为a“mood-enhancing”book(“令人心情变好”的书),读这类书能让抑郁病人心情变好从而改善病病情,故推断抑郁病人应“读”令人心情变好的书,而不是“买”、“评论”或“写”,因此选C,同时排除A、B、D。
【答案解析】解析:一般来说,得了抑郁症的人是不愿意出门凑热闹的,那么去图书馆对他们来说可能是很不情愿的,故选A项struggle“挣扎”,struggle to do sth.表示“挣扎做某事”,符合句意。

【C14】
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析:由句首的But可知,本句跟上一句的意思转折,上一句提到“有人想要逃避现实的书”.因此推断此处表示“其他人不想要逃避现实的书”,空格后的anything...seems too unlikereal life等同于上句的a book that offers some escape,因此推断"——with impatienceto"应具有“不想要”含义,B项respond with impatience to意为“对……表现出没有耐心”符合要求。
