单选题
One of the many features of World Books is that ______.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问：World Books的一个特色是什么?根据文章第二段中的句子“With World Books you"ll go on saving as a member. Each month your free magazine is packed with popular books at huge savings”，可见World Books特色之一就是其会员可以得到免费的杂志以及购买价格优惠的书籍。所以本题的正确答案为D)。
[避错说明] 关于折扣，文章的第一、第二段中都有提到，从中可知，一般的折扣never less than 25 per cent，有时可高达50%，并不是选项中的often 80%，故可排除选项A)。选项B)“即使你不是会员，你也可以得到优惠”显然与文章中的内容不符；而选项C)“如果你是俱乐部的成员，你就可以挣更多的钱”也与文中的相关细节矛盾。

The passage is most probably an advertisement for ______.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题为主旨题。本题问：这篇文章最有可能是给谁做的广告?原文中有种种迹象表明World Book是一个邮购书的俱乐部。如：第一段提到了“…plus a total of $1. 95 towards postage and packing...”，我们知道postage(邮资)和packing(包装)都是邮寄物品时才用到的词。从第二段第二句话“With World Books you"ll go on saving as a member”也可以看出来，你要作为会员才能享受优惠。可知，本题的正确答案为B)。
[避错说明] 从第一段的最后一句“you could save as much as $97 0n the publisher"s prices”，说明广告者不是出版公司(a publishing company)；城市图书馆通常是不出售书的；街边书店通常也不邮购，所以选项A)、C)、D)都不正确。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问：World Book的会员在第一年需要做些什么?根据文章第四段中的句子：“All we ask is that you choose at least one book a month during your first six months”可见，俱乐部要求会员在头六个月每月至少买一本书。这与选项D)的意思相符，所以本题的正确答案是D)。
[避错说明] 根据文章中的句子“All we ask is that you choose at least one book a month during your first six months. After, it"s up to you how many，or how few, you choose”可知，会员只需在前半年的每个月购买至少一本书，之后就没有限制了，你可买也可不买任何书籍。由此可见，选项A)“每个月购买一些书”是错误的。选项B)“必须每年买六本以上的书籍”显然也与文章内容不符。选项C)“会员每年可得到一定数量的免费书籍”在文中未提到，是干扰项。

How can members receive their special offer?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问：会员怎样才能开始享受到优惠?从题干中的线索词receive their special offer，可定位到文章的最后一段：“Pick your introductory books and write their numbers on the coupon(优惠券)，then send it to us. Don"t send us any money now.”从中可知，挑选好你需要的试读图书，将编号写在优惠券上寄给我们，是开始享受优惠的第一步。所以本题的正确答案是C)。
[避错说明] 本题可用排除法。根据最后一段的内容可知，挑选好你需要的试读图书，将编号写在优惠券上寄去，就可成为会员，不要寄钱或别的什么。由此可见，选项A)“填写打印好的表格”；选项B)“给World Books写申请信”；选项D)“寄去个人支票”都是干扰项，可排除。
