体裁：说明文 题材：社会生活 主题：Sisyphe书店的发展
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国实体书店的现状及西西弗书店的发展历程。
1．答案与解析：which 考查关系词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的整个句子，且从句中缺少主语，所以用which引导该从句。
2．答案与解析：competition 考查词形转换。根据语境以及空前的定冠词“the”可推知，此处应用compete的名词形式competition，表示“竞争”。
3．答案与解析：biggest 考查形容词最高级。根据空前的“one of the”和空后的“bookstore chains in China”及语境可推知，此处应用big的最高级形式。
4．答案与解析：as 考查固定用法。serve as“充当……”为固定用法，此处表示西西弗书店的成功是一个很好的例子。
5．答案与解析：Founded 考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，found与其逻辑主语Sisyphe之间为动宾关系，故用其过去分词形式。
6．答案与解析：selling 考查非谓语动词。devote oneself to sth.“致力于某事”中的to为介词，介词后面应接动名词形式，故填selling。
7．答案与解析：creative 考查词形转换。修饰名词应用形容词，故用creative修饰其后的“cultural products”，表示“创造性的文化产品”。
8．答案与解析：enables 考查动词的时态、主谓一致及词形转换。它也使人们能够享受阅读和饮用咖啡的时光。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处需要谓语动词；根据上文中的“opens”可知，此处应用一般现在时，且空前的主语“it”是第三人称单数，所以填enables。
9．答案与解析：it 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，此处动词不定式为真正的主语，故用代词it作形式主语。
10．答案与解析：has offered 考查动词的时态和语态。so far为现在完成时的标志，且根据语境可知，offer与其主语the government为主动关系，所以此处应填has offered。
