The 2026 Beijing Spring Book Fair opened on Saturday and will last for a whole month until May 17. Held before China’s national reading week (the fourth week of April), this annual event has become more colorful this year by expanding reading spaces and adding cinematic elements. It also coincides with the 16th Beijing International Film Festival, making the combination of “film and reading” the biggest highlight. Tens of thousands of readers, from students to the elderly, have visited the fair since its opening, showing great enthusiasm for reading and related activities.

At Chaoyang Park’s Wangfujing Bookstore exhibition area, visitors can see decorative film strips and a special slogan. The bookstore has worked with the film festival to create a unique “cinematic reading space” with historical photos and film images. Bai Guowei, its deputy general manager, said they show over 3,000 books, mainly about history and social sciences, including new books, bestsellers and novelizations of popular films and TV dramas.

Besides book displays, the bookstore also holds lectures and interactive activities about filmmaking, such as AI’s use in video production and basic cinematic language. Famous directors and writers are invited to share their experiences, making these activities more attractive. These activities help readers learn more about the stories behind films. Another highlight is China Bookstore’s exhibition, which shows famous Chinese literary works and their film posters, including rare ones like Teahouse, allowing visitors to feel the charm of literature and film at the same time.

This year’s book fair is held in four major venues across Beijing and has the largest number of physical bookstores participating. The four venues are Chaoyang Park in the east, Nanyuan Forest and Wetland Park in the south, Shougang Park in the west and Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park in the north. Nearly 2,000 bookstores join in with their own themed activities, such as author talks and reading salons. With over 70 special activities in communities, schools and other places, it aims to offer reading services to people all over the city and encourage more people to develop a good reading habit.

1.1.What makes the 2026 Beijing Spring Book Fair unique?

A It lasts longer than before.

B It starts in early spring.

C It links films with reading.

D It is meant for the elderly.

解析：选C。C 细节理解题。题干问的是是什么让2026年北京春季书展显得“独特”。解题关键信息在第一段。文中提到“It also coincides with the 16th Beijing International Film Festival, making the combination of ‘film and reading’ the biggest highlight.”（书展恰逢北京国际电影节，使得“电影与阅读”的结合成为最大的亮点）。这直接对应选项C（它将电影与阅读联系起来），这是今年书展区别于往年的核心特色。选项A（比以往持续时间长）错误，因为文中仅说明今年持续一个月至5月17日，并未提供往年时长数据进行对比。选项B（它在早春开始）错误，这是对举办时间的字面理解，并非其“独特性”所在。选项D（它是为老年人准备的）错误，第一段末尾明确提到读者群体包括“从学生到老年人”的广泛人群，并非专为某一群体设计。故选C。

2.2. What can we learn about Wangfujing Bookstore’s exhibition?

A It focuses solely on new novels.

B It sells tickets for the film festival.

C It limits the number of visitors.

D It features visual film elements.

解析：选D。D 细节理解题。题干询问关于王府井书店展区的信息。答案依据在第二段。该段详细描述了展区布置了“decorative film strips”（装饰性胶片条）、“historical photos and film images”（历史照片和电影图像），并打造了“cinematic reading space”（电影化阅读空间）。这说明该展区在视觉上融入了电影元素，与选项D（它以视觉电影元素为特色）完全吻合。选项A（它只专注于新小说）错误，原文指出展出的3000多本书主要是历史和社会科学类，包括新书、畅销书和热门电视剧小说化作品，并不局限于新小说。选项B（它售卖电影节门票）在文中未提及，属于无中生有。选项C（它限制访客数量）也未在文中出现，属于过度推断。故选D。

3.3. Which of the following describes China Bookstore’s exhibition?

A It sells film posters.

B It combines literature and film.

C It focuses on new books.

D It invites foreign writers.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。题干问的是对中国书店展览的描述。根据第三段最后一句：“…shows famous Chinese literary works and their film posters … allowing visitors to feel the charm of literature and film at the same time.”（展示了中国著名文学作品及其电影海报……让参观者同时感受文学与电影的魅力）。这直接说明了该展览将文学和电影结合在了一起，完全对应选项B的描述。选项A（它售卖电影海报）错误，文中是“shows”展示，而非“sells”售卖。选项C（它专注于新书）错误，该展览强调的是经典文学作品《茶馆》及其海报，并非以新书为焦点。选项D（它邀请了外国作家）错误，文中仅提及邀请著名导演和作家，但未具体指明是否包含外国作家，且这并非该展览的核心描述特征。故选B。

4.4. What is the main purpose of this year’s book fair?

A To popularize reading.

B To increase book sales.

C To host film festivals.

D To draw foreign guests.

解析：选A。A 主旨大意题。题干问今年书展的主要目的是什么。文章最后一句明确指出：“…it aims to offer reading services to people all over the city and encourage more people to develop a good reading habit.”（它旨在为全市人民提供阅读服务，并鼓励更多人养成良好的阅读习惯）。这明确指向了推广阅读的根本目的，故选项A（普及阅读）是正确答案。选项B（增加图书销量）是书展可能带来的商业效果，但文中并未将其确立为主要目标或宗旨。选项C（举办电影节）错误，书展是“与电影节同期举办”以形成联动，其本身的目的并非主办电影节。选项D（吸引外国宾客）错误，文章主旨着眼于服务全市居民、培养阅读习惯，并未提及主要目的在于吸引外国宾客。故选A。
