[解析]
(1)推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties,I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.(故事对我来说就像空气,当其他孩子打球或参加派对时,我通过从图书馆借阅的书来体验冒险。)可知,作者小时候与书是密不可分的。故选C。
(2)短语指代题。根据第三段内容As I grew older and became a mother,the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment.It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library,where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.(随着年龄的增长,我成为了母亲,图书馆在作者的生活中又增添了新的意义,我有几个孩子,书是我们主要的娱乐来源。对我们来说,去当地的图书馆是件大事,我的孩子可以在那里挑选他们想读的书,或者他们想让我读给他们听的书。)可知,作者成了母亲以后,带着孩子去图书馆,孩子挑选书籍来阅读,或者作者读给他们听。由此可知,图书馆在作者的生活中又增添了新的意义,阅读的乐趣在家庭中代代相传。A.Pleasure from working in the library.在图书馆工作的乐趣;B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.读书的乐趣在家里代代相传;C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.把故事表演出来而感到惊奇;D.A closer bond developed with the readers.与读者之间建立了更紧密的联系。故选B。
(3)目的意图题。根据最后一段Libraries,in their own way,help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can.(图书馆以自己的方式帮助打击图书盗版,我认为所有作家都应该尽可能以重要的方式支持图书馆。)可知,作者呼吁其他的作家们支持图书馆。故选C。
