题文
(2013·高考湖南卷，C)It’s such a happylooking library，painted yellow，decorated with palmtree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.about the size of a microwave oven，it’s pedestrianfriendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach County Estates，along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built with love.
A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization，a Wisconsinbased nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available，she announced to her family of four，“That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break！”
Son Austin，now a 10thgrader，didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted，and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51yearold owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses，and made a door of glass.
After adding the library’s final touches (装点)，the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to“take a book，return a book，”and making the Henriksen library，now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world，the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read，a mix of science fiction，reference titles，novels and kids’ favorites.“I told them，keep in mind that you might not see it again，”said Janey，a stayathome mom.
Since then，the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project’s best payoff，says Peter，are the thankyou notes left behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”

小题3:C
小题4:C
小题5:A
解析
本文是一篇说明文。文章为我们介绍了一个充满爱心、给读者带来便利的特殊图书馆。本文虽然是一篇说明文，但并不枯燥，如讲故事般娓娓道来。小题1:解析：选B。细节理解题。该类题目出题者往往不将问题直接与文章中的事实对号入座，而是提出似是而非，或与问题完全无关的事实让考生去判断。对于这类题目，考生不要根据自己读文章的最初印象马上选出答案，而要从原文中找到问题的出处。根据第一段最后一句“...it’s pedestrianfriendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk...”可知图书馆位于人行道附近，为爱书人提供便利，故B项正确。
小题2:解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段首句“A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the...”可知Janey是受到一个报道的启发才有建图书馆的想法的，故D项正确。
小题3:解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Son Austin，now a 10thgrader，didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.”可知该图书馆看起来像个邮箱，故C项正确。
小题4:解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“...the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to‘take a book，return a book，’and making...”可知，在前面挂上一个布告板是为了告知使用者“拿走一本，返还一本”，以避免图书丢失，从而使图书馆长久存在，故C项正确。布告板是the family制作并悬挂的，而不是使用者，故A项错误；B项“这标志着对图书馆的最后装点”与原文中的“After adding the library’s final touches...”相矛盾；挂布告板的目的是提醒使用者而非表明这是家庭的私有财产，故排除D项。
小题5:解析：选A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Since then，the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.”可知，借用人捐赠了很多书，故A项正确。文中未提及使用者为图书馆收集书会有报酬，排除B项；C项中的receive应改为give；D项说“使用者平均每天去图书馆超过五次”，与原文“图书馆每天平均会有五次拜访”不相符。
考点
据考高分专家说，试题“(2013·高考湖南卷，C)It’s s.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
