1.Who is in charge of the daily operation of Books Are Magic?
A.Eddie Joyce.
B.Emma Straub.
C.Martine Joyce.
D.Martin Amis.

2.What can we infer about “Parnassus” in paragraph 3?
A.It’s a city.
B.It’s a museum.
C.It’s a bookstore.
D.It’s a crazy person.
正确答案：C
解析：原文第三段中Emma Straub说：’If you’re in Nashville and you don’t go to see Parnassus, you’re a crazy person. Or if you’re in Los Angeles and you don’t go to Skylight and Book Soup. Seattle and Elliott Bay Bookstore.’ 此处Parnassus与Skylight、Book Soup、Elliott Bay Bookstore并列，后三者均为知名书店，故Parnassus亦为书店。
解析：原文第三段明确列举：’Or if you’re in Los Angeles and you don’t go to Skylight and Book Soup. Seattle and Elliott Bay Bookstore.’ 句式结构为并列地点+对应书店，故Seattle对应Elliott Bay Bookstore；Powell’s Books位于Portland（第四段）；Prospect Park在首段提及为Brooklyn景点。
4.The owner of Books Are Magic hopes the bookstore will ______.
A.make a large profit

5.What is the Books Are Magic team going to do for local writers?
A.Give them books for free.
B.Help publish their books.
C.Establish a writers’ salon.
D.Make them known to the public.
正确答案：D
解析：原文第四段：’We are going to have a little sign up by the register that says, “Are you a local Brooklyn author? Please identify yourself so that we can make sure to carry your book.”’ 并强调‘we don’t want a writer who lives around the corner to come in and feel sad because they’re not on the shelf’，核心是让本地作家被看见、作品上架，即使其被公众知晓。
6.Why did people in Washington State prefer to buy Prius?
A.It was a car of high quality.
B.It was sold at a reasonable price.
C.It was famous all over the world.
D.It was regarded as earth-friendly.
正确答案：D
解析：原文第二段：’People in Washington State were willing to buy the green-signaling Prius over an equally efficient car that didn’t broadcast its virtue.’ 关键词’green-signaling’表明Prius作为环保符号（signal）被选择，且上下文讨论的是绿色消费的社会认同动机。
解析：原文第二段定义：’When people shopped in a green online store, they felt like they’d done their good deed for the day and were more likely to cheat or steal in a subsequent task—an effect psychologists call “moral licensing.”’ 即因先前的道德行为（good deed）而获得心理许可（licensing）去放纵自己。
