【解析】

本文講述了伊拉克的圖書(shū)管理員——Alia Baker，在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)前和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)后如何保護(hù)那些珍貴的圖書(shū)。

【1】句意：Alia很擔(dān)心戰(zhàn)火會(huì)將書(shū)毀滅。

worried 擔(dān)心；angry 生氣；doubtful 懷疑的；curious 好奇的。根據(jù)前文“When the war was near”和后文“which are more precious to her than mountains of gold”，可知，這些書(shū)對(duì)Alia來(lái)說(shuō)非常重要，當(dāng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)臨近的時(shí)候，她擔(dān)心戰(zhàn)火會(huì)毀壞了書(shū)。故選A。

【2】句意：這些書(shū)籍每種語(yǔ)言版本都有，新書(shū)，古書(shū)，甚至是關(guān)于伊拉克七百年歷史的書(shū)。

then 然后，still 仍然，even 甚至，rather 寧可。根據(jù)前文“The books are in every language—new books, ancient books”和后文“a book on the history of Iraq that is seven hundred years old”，可知，前面概括了這里有各種語(yǔ)言版本的書(shū)，后面介紹了有哪些品種，空格前后的句子表示遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系，所以用even更符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。

【3】句意：Alia在下班后，把書(shū)裝滿她的車，秘密地搬回家。

starting 開(kāi)始；parking 停車；testing 測(cè)試；filling 裝滿。根據(jù)前文“Secretly, she brought books home every night”，可推測(cè)，每天她把她的車裝滿書(shū)載回家，所以是用動(dòng)詞fill。故選D。

【4】句意：當(dāng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)爆發(fā)的時(shí)候，她的朋友都來(lái)幫助她。

took off 脫掉；broke out 爆發(fā)；went off 爆炸；broke up 分散。根據(jù)前文“When the war was near…”，當(dāng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)臨近的時(shí)候，Alia開(kāi)始自己晚上下班后搬書(shū)回家，“Her friends came to help her”她的朋友都趕過(guò)來(lái)幫她搬運(yùn)，可推測(cè)是戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)爆發(fā)了，用固定詞組break out，本句中用的是一般過(guò)去時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)，所以break out的一般過(guò)去時(shí)是broke out。故選B。

【5】句意：隨著戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的繼續(xù)，這些書(shū)一直被藏起來(lái)。

opened 打開(kāi)；stopped 停止；continued 繼續(xù)；ended 結(jié)束。根據(jù)上文“when the war broke out”和下文“But the war was not over yet”，可知，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)還在持續(xù)。句子用的一般過(guò)去時(shí)，所以空格處的動(dòng)詞要用過(guò)去時(shí)。故選C。

【6】句意：現(xiàn)在Alia等著戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)束夢(mèng)想著和平和一個(gè)新的圖書(shū)館。

dreamed of 夢(mèng)想；believed in 相信；cared about 關(guān)心；looked for尋找。根據(jù)空格處后peace，表示和平，結(jié)合語(yǔ)意，可知要表達(dá)夢(mèng)想著和平，句子用的是一般過(guò)去時(shí)，所以空格處的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)也要用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。故選A。
