44、d to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japans Morioka Shoten a little strange.Thats because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza，Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.Opened in May 2019，Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka.The experienced books

45、eller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyos Kanda district before branching out to open his own store.It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind.Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many

46、 copies of just one single book.In November 2019，he partnered with his two friends，to establish a unique bookstore with the idea of “A Single Room，A Single Book.” Like its offering，the bookstore is simple.The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers wi

47、th different interests.Recent choices include The True Deceiver，an awardwinning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson，Hans Christian Andersens Fairy Tales，and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldts photography of plants.Morioka has also chosen books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and Akito

48、Akagi.To highlight his only offering，Morioka often uses clever methods.For example，when selling a book about flowers，he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book.He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers.Morioka says his go

49、al is for the customers to experience being inside a book，not just a bookstore!Risky as the idea might seem，things appear to be going well.Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it.Things can get better considering that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among

50、 the locals but also visitors from other countries.1What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore?AA Swedish novel.BHis present partner.CA bookstore clerk.DHis working experience.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的第二至四句可知选D。2Why is Morioka Shoten unique?AIt is popular with foreigners.BIt sells books of different to

51、pics.CIt is decorated with colorful flowers.DIt sells various copies of a book in a week.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知每周所选的书不同，吸引不同兴趣的顾客。故选D。3Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?ATo introduce his bookstore.BTo advocate(倡导) his philosophy.CTo make books better understood.DTo help readers connect

52、 with each other.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知Morioka的目的是让顾客更好地理解一本书。故选C。4Whats the authors opinion about the bookstores future?ARisky. BOptimistic.CUnpredictable. DHopeless.答案B解析作者态度题。根据最后一段，特别是最后一句可知，这家书店越来越受欢迎了，不仅是当地的顾客而且也有来自其他国家的顾客，所以情况会变得更好。由此可知作者持乐观态度，故选B。BBeauty has always been regarded as something

53、 admirable.Almost everyone thinks that attractive people are happier and healthier；they have better marriages and have more respectable jobs.Personal consultants(顾问)give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive persons.But in the executive circle，beauty can become a l

54、iability.While attractiveness is a positive thing for a mans rise，it is harmful to a womans.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less h

55、onesty than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to other factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive

56、woman is thought to be more feminine(女性的) and an attractive man more masculine(男性的) than the less attractive ones.Thus，an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.Th

57、is is true even in politics.Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人)She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of

58、 candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men，but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.5In traditionally female jobs，at

59、tractiveness .Astrengthens the feminine qualities requiredBmakes women look more honest and capableCis of great importance to womenDoften enables women to succeed quickly答案A解析推理判断题。由文章第三段可知，人们觉得有魅力的女性更有女性特质。在传统上由女性所从事的工作中，女性魅力具有一定的优势。但在传统上由男性所从事的工作中，有魅力的女性看起来缺乏所需要的男性特质。由此可推出，在传统上由女性所从事的工作中，魅力加强了所需的女

60、性特质。A项符合题意。6Bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics，attractiveness .Aturns out to be an obstacle to menBaffects men and women alikeChas as little effect on men as on womenDis more of an obstacle than a benefit to women答案D解析推理判断题。由文章最后一段可知，在政界，有魅力的男性彻底击败了缺乏魅力的男性。而那些被认为最有魅力的女性常常得到最少的选票

61、。由此可推出，在政界，对于女性来说，魅力是一个障碍，而不是益处。7It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often .Apractical BoldfashionedCprejudiced Dserious答案C解析推理判断题。由文章第一段可知，几乎每个人都认为有魅力的人会更幸福、更健康。他们的婚姻更美满，并且拥有更令人尊敬的职业。在找工作方面，私人顾问会给他们更好的建议。甚至法官对于有魅力的被告都会手下留情。由此可推出，人们对美的看法往往是带有偏见的，是缺乏事实依据的。8The author

62、writes this passage to .Adiscuss the negative aspects of being attractiveBgive advice to jobseekers who are attractiveCdemand equal rights for womenDemphasize the importance of appearance答案A解析写作目的题。本文虽然也提到了魅力有许多积极方面，但那并不是文章的主要方面。文章主要讲的是魅力给就业和政界中的女性所造成的不利影响。由此可见，作者写这篇文章的目的是要讨论有魅力的消极方面。.七选五(2019河南新野一中
