Unit 11 Conflict and Compromise能力提升强化练习题 .阅读理解 A The great thing about libraries is that they house all types of books—from mysteries to biography and dramas—all in one location.The bad thing about libraries is that they house all types of books in one location,and if it’s a location you cannot get to,you are out of luck.Now,mobile library solutions are appearing quickly around the country to bring books to people who need them. A few years ago,when the Little Free Libraries Movement kicked off,more people of all ages could have access to books.Now,more than 15,000 free book stands can be found across the globe,bringing books to unexpected places.But many folks are simply not in a position to get to the places where the books are.Bookmobile buses are a good solution,but they can be expensive to fund and to operate. Books on Bikes programs are popping up in areas where there is a strong bike culture,in some regions like Seattle,or a strong need to bring books to the masses,for example,in San Francisco. The Seattle Public Library’s Books on Bikes program consists of three bike/trailer combos(组合) that librarians bring to community events.The trailers are even Wi-Fi enabled so that visitors can sign up for a library card and browse(浏览) the library’s card catalogue on the spot. “Seattle has a really strong bike culture so we want to tap into that and provide full-service library programs but do it in a way that is quick and smart,” librarian Jared Mills said in an interview. San Francisco’s program,called Bibliobicicleta,was launched in 2013 by librarian Alicia Tapia.Her trailer can hold about 100 books and attracts readers of all ages and income levels.It’s an independent,donation-based library—like a Little Free Library,but on wheels. When asked why she would start a free library on a bike,Tapia answers,“Why not?Bikes are cool,and can go anywhere.” 1.What is the passage mainly about? A.Free libraries on bikes. B.Unique bicycle cultures. C.Popular online libraries. D.V
