Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same time. Then they meet to talk about the book. Members may be friends or people __3__ live near each other. Some Americans belong to reading groups on __4__ Internet. These groups include people around the world who communicate about books they read. They send electronic mails instead of gathering __5__ (discuss) books.

Most reading groups study books by __6__ (variety) writers. However, some groups read the work of a single writer, __7__ (usual) one that has been famous for a while. Other groups may __8__ (name) for an important person in the work of a writer, __9__ a Sherlock Holmes Club. Members of these book clubs often are experts on their __10__ (choose) reading materials. One member of a Holmes reading group, for example, can identify almost every person in every Sherlock Holmes story.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国越来越多的人加入读书俱乐部以及读书俱乐部的运作方式、命名方式等。

1．publishers考查名词。此处与and后面的bookstores一起构成并列主语，publisher 为可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故填publishers。

2．them考查代词。join表示“成为……的一员，加入”，是及物动词，后面应跟宾语，故填they的宾格形式them。

3．who/that考查定语从句。先行词是people，空处在从句中作主语，故填who/that。

4．the考查冠词。on the Internet“在网上”，为固定搭配。

5．to discuss考查非谓语动词。他们发送电子邮件而不是聚集起来讨论他们读过的书。此处动词不定式作目的状语。

6．various考查形容词。大部分读书俱乐部研究不同作家的书。空后的writers为名词，应该用形容词来修饰，variety的形容词形式为various，故填various。

7．usually考查副词。空后的“one that has been famous for a while”是空前writer的同位语。usually起强调作用，修饰代词one。

8．be named考查被动语态。此处name是动词，意为“命名”，在句中作谓语，与主语“Other groups”之间为被动关系，且空前有情态动词，故填be named。

9．like考查介词。其他的俱乐部可能以一个作家的作品里的一个重要人物而命名，比如夏洛克·福尔摩斯俱乐部。空后为举例子，故填like“像，例如”。

10．chosen考查非谓语动词。这些读书俱乐部的成员通常是他们选中的阅读材料方面的专家。提示词choose是动词，与其所修饰的名词短语“reading materials”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用choose的过去分词作定语，故填chosen。
