She has always loved reading.As a really shy girl, she always turned to books, which sort of became her best friends when she didn’t have one. In 2019, when her dad was diagnosed with cancer, it was a difficult time for her family and books became an even bigger comfort. She started thinking about people in similar situations.When her father recovered, she had overwhelming gratitude to the doctors for performing such a miracle, but also a hint of sadness about kids who were fighting the same battle. At that very moment, she came up with a plan. She wanted to do things for the hospitals.She started a book drive called For Love & Buttercup in her hometown. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. At first, Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. She was expecting maybe two or three responses from neighbors, but it ended up blowing up, especially when news stations began reporting it. Since the start of the book drive, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.Now Emily continues to run the book drive. She hopes to expand the project one day to reach more kids.

答案与详细解析
答案
1.B 2.A 3.C
解析
1.B细节理解题。原文第三段明确说明活动目标：The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals，即募集书籍送给正在接受癌症治疗的孩子。A错误，活动募集书籍而非筹款；C无原文依据；D对象是癌症患儿，不是乡村贫困学生。2.A词义猜测题。前文说她原本只期待邻居两三条反馈，后文提到电视台报道此事，共收集上万本书，说明活动热度暴涨、广受关注。blow up熟义为“爆炸”，此处语境引申为“爆红、广受关注”。B“被摧毁”、C“准备就绪”、D“陷入困境”均和原文积极语境相反。3.C主旨大意题。全文主线：Emily因父亲患癌共情患病儿童，发起图书募捐公益活动，活动大获成功，她计划扩大项目长期帮助患儿。A仅为故事背景，不是核心；B只是文中一处细节，片面；D仅为结尾片段，无法概括全文。
