Passage One

听力原文

    Do you have too much stuff? Are you, dare we say it, untidy? (16) [Say hello to a TV show called “Tidying up with Marie Kondo”, a home improvement show based on her widely popular book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.] 

    In the show, Marie Kondo acts as a tiny garbage fairy for messy people, visiting their houses to share the wisdom of the “KonMarie” method. This method is simple in theory, but can be endlessly complex in practice. (17) [You divide all the stuff in your house—all of it—into several categories, and then examine each item—all of them—to see if it sparks joy. If it does, you keep it.] If it doesn’t, you thank it and neatly discard it. So, is the TV show inspiring people to tidy up? First-hand accounts seem to indicate a small wave of people bringing piles of donation bags to used-good stores.

    One store receive thousands of bags of used possessions in one day. January is usually the store’s slow season for donations because it’s cold and people don’t want to bother. But not this January. People seem determined to clean up their homes. (18) [One used-book store received a month’s worth of books and donations in a week, when a man gave over 50 boxes of books from his home.] It seems Marie’s TV show is having a big impact after all.

18. What do we learn about one used-book store this January?

解析：B。录音结尾说到，今年一月，有一家二手书店一周内收到的书和捐赠物相当于过去一个月的总量。也就是说，这家二手书店收到了许多捐赠书。B项中的an incredibly large number of对应录音中的a month’s worth of，因此B项为正确答案。

错项排除：录音中说通常一月份是募捐的淡季，但今年不同，二手物品捐赠反而异常火热，因此A项与录音内容相悖，错误。录音中提到50 boxes of books，但说的是有一个人捐了50多箱书，而不是书店卖出了50多箱书，所以C项排除。录音最后说到近藤麻理惠的节目产生了很大影响，指的是人们受到启发，开始整理家居，将整理出的物品捐赠给二手商店，其中有一家二手书店也收到了大量捐赠的书本，但并未提及这家书店加入了整理活动，故排除D项。
