细节理解题。文章第二段告诉我们Nancy发动该活动的目的：encouragingreading和promotingreadingasanexperiencetobesharedinfamiliesandschools，由此可知B项正确。12．C 细节理解题。倒数第二段告诉我们在纽约该活动启动困难的原因：…NewYork，wherelocalreaderscouldnotdecideononebooktorepresentthehugeanddiversepopulation.选项中differentbackgrounds对应原文的diversepopulation。13．D 细节理解题。倒数第二段Thismayshowthattheideaworksbestinmediumsizedcitiesorlargetowns,whereagreatersenseofunitycanbeachieved.中的largetowns和agreatersenseofunitycanbeachieved分别对应选项中的largetowns和agreementcanbequicklyreached。14．A 词义猜测题。由语境可知，该短语就是对上文中enjoyedspeakingtosomeone的另外一种说法，故选A。15．C 细节理解题。题干中的AccordingtoNancy，对应文章的asNancypointsout。由最后一段thelevelofsuccessisnotmeasured…byhowmanypeopleareenrichedbytheprocess，or…可以看出，该活动成功的标准在于，有多少人通过该活动丰富了自己、有多少人喜欢上了和从来没有和自己说过话的人进行交流，也就是选项所说的从该活动中受益的人数的多少。Ⅲ.16－20
