【4】C

【解析】试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Green先生从一个大公司辞职，自己开了一家书店。他书店里的书都很好，因此人们都喜欢去那里买书。但是有一个女士觉得Green先生家的书没意思，她想要一本美味的书。于是Green先生给她拿了一本菜谱。

【1】B细节理解题。根据短文中He was quite busy so that he couldn't do any reading．So he gave up (放弃) his job and opened a bookshop in the center of the town可知，Green先生原本在一个大公司里工作，但是他很忙，以至于他没有时间读书，因此他就放弃了他的工作，在镇的中心开了一个书店。由此可知应选B。

【2】D细节理解题。根据短文中It wasn't big but all the books were nice and most people liked to buy some there可知，Green先生的书店不大，但是里面的书都很好，因此很多人都喜欢去那里买书。故应选D。A不是人们喜欢去那里买书的主要原因；B太片面；C不符合文意。

【3】A推理判断题。A选项说Green先生喜欢把书借给学识渊博的人，这一点文章中并没有说到，故A是不对的。根据When the shop was closed，he could read at home可知B选项符合文意；根据many learned people were glad to make friends with him可知C符合文意；根据At nine in the evening all the buyers left，but a woman was still there可知D符合文意。

【4】C词义猜测题。根据短文中He knew a lot and many learned people were glad to make friends with him可知，Green先生喜欢读书，因此他知道的事情很多。而这个单词中learn本意是学习，由此我们可以猜到，learned这个单词的意思应该是有知识的，学识渊博的。故应选C。

【5】C推理判断题。根据故事的最后我们可知，那个女士觉得Green先生书店里的书一点儿也不有趣，他想要一本美味的书。于是Green先生就给她拿了一本菜谱。由此可知，这个女士并不是真的想买书，因此最后她不会买任何一本书就会离开书店的。因此应选C。
