一、完形填空
In a narrow hutong in Beijing lies a small library. It is only seven square metres in size, but thousands of books are 1 in it. Unlike traditional libraries, this one doesn't require its readers to 2 the books. Instead, it encourages them to pass those books on to someone else when they've finished reading.
This library was 3 by Mr Xu, a businessman, in 2010. The idea took shape when Xu recommended books online to students, but found it 4 for them to get the books from their school libraries. So, Xu bought and 5 nearly 1,000 books in the following year. The students who received the books were very thankful. Their thank-you letters got Xu to turn his book-gifting effort into a physical space.
Xu's library might be the smallest in the world, but in another sense, it's also the biggest because its books keep 6. Once, a reader took home an English book on Chinese history. A week later, he passed it on to a neighbour. 7, the book travelled all the way abroad and ended up in Germany. "The 8 of the book is a wonder. Many wonders like this keep the culture of reading alive," Xu tells the newspaper.
Xu says he will continue this work although the library is now faced with the 9 of e-books. "This is the most 10 thing I've done in my life," he says. "I hope that the library can stay open forever."

解析：
1.第一空所在句子意思是“它只有七平方米大小，但是里面有成千上万本书被保存”，“kept”有保存的意思，“written”写，“printed” 印刷，“punished”惩罚，根据题意应是保存。
2.从后文“instead，it encourages them to pass the books on to someone else...”可知，这里表达的不是要求读者归还书，“return”归还，“copy”复制，“lend”借出，“buy”买，所以是“return”。
3.这个图书馆是被徐先生创办的，“started”有创办、开始的意思，“locked”锁，“hidden”隐藏，“guarded”守卫，所以是“started”。
4.从后文徐先生买书送书可知，学生们从学校图书馆得到书是困难的，“hard”困难的，“interesting”有趣的，“harmful”有害的，“possible”可能的，所以是“hard”。
5.徐先生买书并捐赠，“gave away”有捐赠的意思，“dug up”挖出，“picked up”捡起，“threw away”扔掉，所以是“gave away”。
6.从后文书的传递可知，这里说书一直在移动，“moving”移动，“burning”燃烧，“falling”掉落，“shaking”摇晃，所以是“moving”。
7.书从一个人到邻居，最后到国外，这是令人惊奇的，“Amazingly”令人惊奇地，“Clearly”清晰地，“Hopefully”有希望地，“Generally”通常地，所以是“Amazingly”。
8.书的旅程是一个奇迹，“journey”旅程，“history”历史，“language”语言，“background”背景，所以是“journey”。
9.图书馆面临着电子书的挑战，“challenge”挑战，“death”死亡，“truth”真相，“mistake”错误，所以是“challenge”。
10.徐先生认为这是他一生中做的最有意义的事，“meaningful”有意义的，“silly”愚蠢的，“scary”可怕的，“common”普通的，所以是“meaningful”。

### 一、完形填空
在北京的一条狭窄胡同里，有一个小图书馆。它的面积只有七平方米，但里面存放着成千上万本书。与传统图书馆不同，这个图书馆不要求读者归还书籍。相反，它鼓励读者在读完书后把书传递给其他人。
这个图书馆由商人徐先生于2010年创办。当徐先生在网上向学生推荐书籍，但发现他们很难从学校图书馆获取这些书时，这个想法就形成了。于是，在接下来的一年里，徐先生购买并赠送了近1000本书。收到书的学生非常感激。他们的感谢信促使徐先生把送书的努力变成了一个实体空间。
徐先生的图书馆可能是世界上最小的，但从另一种意义上说，它也是最大的，因为它的书一直在流动。有一次，一位读者把一本关于中国历史的英文书带回家。一周后，他把书传给了邻居。令人惊讶的是，这本书一路传到了国外，最后到了德国。“这本书的旅程是一个奇迹。许多这样的奇迹让阅读文化保持活力，”徐先生告诉报纸。
徐先生说，尽管图书馆现在面临着电子书的挑战，他仍将继续这项工作。“这是我一生中做过的最有意义的事情，”他说。“我希望这个图书馆能永远开放。”
