DISCOVER THE WORLD OF BOOKS
SUMMAR PROGRAM FOR YOUNG READERS
The Philadelphia Public Library is happy to announce our summer program for young readers: Discover the World of Books. The program will begin on Saturday, June 16 and continue until the end of August. Each two-week session of the program will focus on a different nation, region, or city. Our daily Story Time readings will also feature recommended books from or about the area, and they will be available for reading or check-out at a special display case at the entrance of the children’s section. Thanks to guidance from The World Library Association and book exchanges with our sister libraries in Mexico City, Rome, Asmara, Bangalore, and Tokyo, original language versions of many of the books will be displayed together with their translations.
Most exciting for young readers are the free Reading Passports that will be distributed to all participants. Young readers who have finished reading a book from or about a particular area can bring it to any children’s librarian and receive a stamp representing that area—just like any world traveler! Readers with twenty or more stamps are eligible to enter a drawing to receive a 24-inch diameter globe.
Thanks to special financial assistance from the city council, the program is free of charge. Readers between the ages of 4 and 14 are eligible, and can register starting on June 1 at the main information desk.

1.
【解答】 C
【中譯】本計劃的主要目的為何?
(A) 啟發小讀者們學習外國語言
(B) 從世界上多個城市獲得書籍
(C) 鼓勵孩童閱讀有關世界的書籍
(D) 協助其他國家的圖書館
【解析】
約略地掃瞄一下文章標題和內容,大約可以得知此文章在講的是跟「青少年讀書」相關的活動。第一題"What is the main purpose of the program?"問的是此活動的「目的為何」。根據標題與首句"Summer program for young readers"和"The Philadelphia Public Library is happy to announce our summer program for young readers: Discover the World of Books."可知,此活動的目的是為了要「鼓勵孩童閱讀有關世界的書籍」。
選項(A)中的" … learn a foreign language"提到是要「學外語」,與活動內容不符,故不選。
選項(B)的" … acquire books from … world cities"提到要「自世界各大都市取得書籍」,亦與活動內容不符,故不選。
選項(C)提到的關鍵點"… encourage children … read about the world"與活動標題相符,故為最佳答案。
選項(D)的" … assist libraries … other countries"是說要「協助其他國家的圖書館」,與此活動無關,故不選。
2.
【解答】D
【中譯】誰為本計劃提供資金?
(A) The World Library協會
(B) Philadelphia大眾圖書館
(C) 位於世界各地的姊妹圖書館
(D) Philadelphia市政府
【解析】
第二題問的是"Who is funding the program?",應試者要將焦點放在找「誰/哪個單位」贊助此活動的資訊上。根據最後一段第一句"Thanks to special financial assistance from the city council"可知,提供金錢協助的是該市之市政府。很明顯地,正確答案為(D),而(A)、(B)、(C)雖在文中皆被提及,但並非贊助單位,故不可選。
3.
【解答】D
【中譯】下列何項活動不是計劃的一部分?
(A) 每天閱讀書籍
(B) 國際性的書籍交換
(C) 閱讀護照
(D) 國際作家的參訪
【解析】
先看到題目問的是"What type of activities is NOT a part of the program?",焦點非常明確,就是要找出三個文章當中有提到的"activity",以便排除掉一個沒提到的。根據文中的這些資訊"Our daily Story Time readings will also feature recommended books from or about the area …","Thanks to guidance from The World Library Association and book exchanges with our sister libraries …","Most exciting for young readers are the free Reading Passports that will be distributed to all participants."可知,選項(A) Daily book readings、(B) International book exchanges、與(C) Reading passports都有被提及,因此(D) Visits from international authors為正確答案。
