　　B. By writing an application letter to World Books

　　D. By sending a personal checks.

　　1. B

　　分析：該題考察考生推理判斷的能力。原文中有種種跡象表明World Book是一個郵購書的俱樂部。如：第二段提到了…plus a total of $1.95 towards postage and packing…我們知道postage(郵資)和packing(包裹)都是郵寄物品時才用到的詞。從第三段的第二句話也可以看出來。

　　2. D

　　分析：此題考察的是細節(jié)。答案就在上題中提到的第三段第二句話。另外也可以用排除法：A提到了折扣，課文提到的是never less than 25 per cent,并不是選項中的often 80%. B, C都沒有在文中提及，注意識別這類干擾項。

　　3. A

　　分析：此題考察考生判斷推理的能力。大家可以看第五段第三句，這句話中提到：the lasted on cookery, gardening, and other popular hobbies,從這句話可以推斷一般的家庭會對這些書籍感興趣。

　　4. D

　　分析：此題有一定的難度。我們采取排除法。A 的錯誤之處在于并不是每個月，而是千半年的每個月;B這種情況不一定，假設前半年每個月至少買一本書(all we ask is that you choose at least one book a month during your first six months),有可能以后每個月都不買(after, it’s up to you how many, or how few, you choose),也就是說不買也是允許的，如果是這種情況，這一年買的書就不是more than 6了;D屬于典型的無中生有的干擾項，文中并未提及。所以D是正確選項。意思是：World Book的會員在第一年一定要買夠最低限度的書。

　　5. B

　　分析：這又是一個細節(jié)題。從最后一段第一句可以找到答案。
