快速阅读
1. Google claims its plan for the world’s biggest online library is _____
【答案】B. to serve the interest of the general public【解析】该题问的是Google所声称的自己图书馆计划的目的。根据顺序原则该题靠前，同时注意到第三段开头连续并列why，提示第三段很有可能提到原因或目的。用claim定位至第三段第三句，该句motive引出后面Google声称的原因是“本质上被公众精神驱动”，三段末更提到是为了所有人的知识需求。核心名词public及句意都对应B选项。
2. According to Santiago de la Mora, Google’s book-scanning project will
【答案】B. broaden humanity’s intellectual horizons【解析】该题问的是Santiago de la Mora对Google图书扫面项目的看法。用人名可定位至四段中，之后该人提到Google该项目能expand the frontiers of human knowledge，即拓广人类知识的范围。对应B选项。核心名词knowledge被改为同义词intellectual，frontier被同义替换为horizon，动词expand被同义替换为
broaden。
3. Opponents of Google Books believe that digitally archiving the world's books should be controlledby_______.
【答案】C. non-profit organizations【解析】该题问的是反对Google的人对数字知识控制者的看法。用opponents可定位至第7段前后，control可进一步定位至第八段最后Robert Darnton的观点。该人认为只有public, not-for-profit bodies 可以有控制数字知识的权利，对应C选项。Bodies被同义替换为organization。 
4.【答案】D. the copyright of the books it scanned【解析】该题问的是Google卷入官司的原因。由legal battle可定位至第9段前后，用之后第10段短首出现的however可进一步将重点信息圈定到第10首。该段首句即提到问题的中心是copyright，对应C选项。
5. 【答案】B. the online display of in-copyright books is not for commercial use【解析】该题问的是Google自己对自己涉及侵权行为的辩护。用defend可定位至第12段第二句的editor的名词和动词形式defence。该句中Google指出自己仅显示了受版权保护图书的小片段(snippets)。该词若不认
识，也可结合前面的only猜出其否定名词的性质。对应D选项。Snippets被同义改写为a small part。
6.【答案】 B. It was settle after more than two years of negotiation. 【解析】该题问的是关于针对Google的class action的相关信息。用class action可定位至第14段首句。该句提到这个事件经过两年多的争论（wrangling），最终以一个宣言（announcement）实现庭外和解（out-of-court settlement）。对应B选项，wrangling被同义替换为negotiation。若不认识wrangling，一方面可由该句退出其大致表示“纠结”的意思，另一方面可由settle, more than two years等关键表达确定B选项与原文信息的对应关系。
7. 【答案】D. The commercial provision of the settlement【解析】该题问的是class action之后的争议点。用controversial可定位至第17段末句的，该句用强调句形式强调是该事件的商业规定（commercial provisions）成为最为争议的一个方面，原文信息完整原样对应D选项。
8. 【答案】Providing information for free【解析】该题问的是Google在卖广告挣钱同时做的另一件事。用sell advertising可定位至18段中部，该句提到Google的商业模式一直是免费提
供信息（provide information for free）, 同时在这产生的访问流量（traffic）的基础之上卖广告挣钱。可知除了卖广告之外，Google更基本的服务时免费提供信息。由于空前是while，空中应填充动名词形式providing information for free。
9. 【答案】orphan works【解析】该题问的是版权拥有者不明的书籍的别称。由copyright holder not known可定位至第19段首句，该句用破折号将"orphan" works解释为没有已知版权拥有者的书籍作品（there is no known copyright holder）。可知答案即填入orphan works。
10. 【答案】change the world’s book market【解析】该句问到的是Google进入数字图书界后未来的相关情况。由该句说法以及digital bookselling可定位至全文末句。该句用转折强Google进入数字图书界会对未来的图书世界有很大影响（will have a significant impact on the book world in years to come）。由于题干缺少动词成分，因此要由原文同义改写为动词表达，填入influence the book world。只需将名词impact改为同义动词influence，名词表达book world原样保留。原文中significant等于题干中的tremendous，in years to come等于题干中的in the future，都不用再抄入。
