答案及分析：

1. B

分析：该题考察考生推理判断的能力。原文中有种种迹象表明World Book是一个邮购书的俱乐部。如：第二段提到了…plus a total of $1.95 towards postage and packing…我们知道postage(邮资)和packing(包裹)都是邮寄物品时才用到的词。从第三段的第二句话也可以看出来。

2. D

分析：此题考察的是细节。答案就在上题中提到的第三段第二句话。另外也可以用排除法：A提到了折扣，课文提到的是never less than 25 per cent,并不是选项中的often 80%. B, C都没有在文中提及，注意识别这类干扰项。

3. A
