When I worked part-time in a local bookstore at my early age -- so easily - pictured, if you do not work in one, as a kind of paradise where not only 【1】 one read his own favorite books but also encounter charming young ladies (one of my personal fantasies) who browse eternally among Toni Morrison or Ernest Hemingwast thing that chiefly struck me was that really bookish people are a rarity, 【2】 there are vast numbers of those who consider themselves to be such. Often they will introduce themselves when they enter the bookshop 【3】 ‘book people’ and insist on telling you that ‘we love books’. They will wear T-shirts or carry bags with slogans explaining exactly how much they think they adore books. It is clear that the was they dress themselves is quite similar to that of us bookish people, but that is 【4】 the similarities between them and us begin and end. And 【5】 (sure) means of identifying them is that they never, ever buy books.

These days it is so rare that I find time to read that, when I do, it feels like indulgence, more so than any, other sensory experience. When an important relationship in my twenties 【6】 (break) up the only thing I could do was to read, and I amassed a pile of books 【7】 I sank and escaped from the world around me and inside me. The landscapes of Yu Hua, Wang Shou, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Harper Lee and others protected me from my own thoughts, which were pushed into the background, where 【8】 could silently process without bothering me. I created a physical wall on my desk, 【9】 (make) from the books, and as I read them the wall slowly came down until it was gone.

In a more real sense, books are the best way in which one enriches his own life and the enormous numbers of them out there in the world excite me, especially when I visit second-hand bookstores with no intention 【10】 (search) for a certain book. It is like casting a net and never knowing what you will find when you gather it in. As Goglo put in it in Dead Souls: “Once, long ago, in the years of my youth, in the years of my childhood, which have flashed irretrievably（不能挽回地）by, it was a joy for me to drive for the very first time to a place unknown.”

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。作者記敘了自己熱愛讀書的感受以及讀書對(duì)自己的影響。

【1】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句意：在書店里，一個(gè)人不僅可以閱讀自己喜歡的書，還會(huì)遇到迷人的年輕女士，她們總是在托妮·莫里森和歐內(nèi)斯特·赫明之間流連。根據(jù)句意，該空表示“可以，能夠”，故填can。

【2】考查讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。句意：讓我印象最深刻的是，真正愛讀書的人是罕見的，盡管有很多人認(rèn)為自己是這樣的人。根據(jù)句意，該空表示“盡管”，且引導(dǎo)從句，故填although。

【3】考查介詞。句意：當(dāng)他們走進(jìn)書店的時(shí)候，他們通常會(huì)自我介紹為“讀書人”，并堅(jiān)持告訴你“我們愛書”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，該空意為“當(dāng)作，作為”，故填as。

【4】考查表語(yǔ)從句。句意：很明顯，他們的穿著和我們這些書呆子很相似，但這就是他們和我們之間的相似之處開始和結(jié)束的地方。該空引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，空處作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，故用where引導(dǎo)該從句。故填where。

【5】考查形容詞最高級(jí)。句意：確定他們身份的最可靠的方法就是他們從來(lái)沒有買過書。該空修飾名詞means，應(yīng)用形容詞的某種形式，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，該處表示“最可靠的方法”，應(yīng)用最高級(jí)形式，故填the surest。

【6】考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意：當(dāng)我二十多歲的時(shí)候，一段重要的關(guān)系破裂了，我唯一能做的事情就是讀書。該空作謂語(yǔ)，且敘述的是作者二十多歲的時(shí)候的情況（即：過去的情況），應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，故填broke。

【7】考查定語(yǔ)從句和固定搭配。句意：我積攢了一堆書，沉浸其中，逃離我周圍和內(nèi)心的世界。___7___ I sank是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾books。sink into表示“陷入到……中”，是固定搭配。books作into的賓語(yǔ)，先行詞為物，應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞which代之。綜上，該從句應(yīng)用into which引導(dǎo)。故填into which。

【8】考查代詞和語(yǔ)境理解。句意：余華、王守、海明威、喬治·奧威爾、陀思妥耶夫斯基、哈珀·李等人的風(fēng)景保護(hù)著我，使我不受自己思想的干擾，我的思想被推到背景中，在那里它們可以無(wú)聲無(wú)息地進(jìn)行，而不打擾我。where ___8___ could silently process without bothering me是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾my thoughts，該空在從句中作主語(yǔ)，指代my thoughts，指代復(fù)數(shù)名詞用they。故填they。

【9】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：我在我的書桌上用書做了一堵實(shí)體墻，當(dāng)我讀它們的時(shí)候，這堵墻慢慢地倒了下來(lái)，直到消失。____9____ (make) from the books是定語(yǔ)，修飾a physical wall。a physical wall和make之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)用過去分詞作定語(yǔ)。故填made。

【10】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：從更真實(shí)的意義上說(shuō)，書籍是豐富自己生活的最好方式，而世界上大量的書籍讓我興奮不已，尤其是當(dāng)我去二手書店卻無(wú)意尋找某本書的時(shí)候。____10____ (search) for a certain book是定語(yǔ)，修飾intention，intention后常接動(dòng)詞不定式作定語(yǔ)，意為“……的打算，……的意圖”。故填to search。
