D．Statement.‎ ‎4．What is the main function of Paragraph 5?‎ A．To attract readers' attention.‎ B．To introduce other prize winners.‎ C．To serve as background information.‎ D．To compare Sally's novel with other books.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了萨莉·鲁尼的第二部小说Normal ‎ People的获奖情况及其畅销度。这部小说自出版以来其精装本的销量达4.1万册，是她的处女作销量的5倍多。萨莉·鲁尼现在是英国最大的连锁书店Waterstones颁发的奖项最年轻的获奖者。她的成功表明了文学小说在健康地发展。‎ ‎1．解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“declining sales”和最后一段中的“which has seen sales decrease over the last decade”可推断，近年来文学小说不受欢迎。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎2．解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release.”可知，该书一出版便得到了广泛赞扬。故选C项。‎ 答案：C ‎3．解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“and indicates”以及最后一段中的“Rooney's win was a sign of the healthy state of literary fiction”可知，Normal People的获奖及畅销表明文学小说是健康发展的。因此，testament应与indicate和sign意思相近，意为“迹象；标志；证据”。故可推断，testament与evidence意思相近。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎4．解析：推理判断题。第二、三段讲述了萨莉·鲁尼的小说的销量及获奖情况，第五段介绍这个奖项建立的时间和之前的获奖作品，由此可推断，其作用应是作为背景信息。故选C项。‎ 答案：C
