What is the writers carpet made of?We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen, she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, You dont need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!参考译文我们刚刚搬进一所新居子，我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一个上午。

新概念英语第⼆册课后习题Lesson 52 1. b 根据课⽂第2-3⾏I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books 可以看出只有b. he is finding it difficult to get his room in order 与课⽂的实际情况相符，其他3个选择都不符合故事所描述的情景。
2. c 根据课⽂第9-10⾏ ‘This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,’ she said, 可以判断出只有c. the books make a nice carpet 是作者的妹妹的真实想法，其他3个选择都与课⽂的内容不符，也不是他妹妹所认为的。
3. c 只有c. is still working 是正确的，因为前半句⽤的是现在完成进⾏时，表⽰到现在为⽌动作还在继续进⾏，所以后半句应该⽤现在进⾏时，才能使句⼦的时态协调⼀致。
其他3个选择都不能与前半句的时态相配。
4. aa. make it tidy (把它收拾整齐);b. keep it tidy (保持整洁);c. make order 不合乎习惯⽤法，意思也讲不通;d. keep order (维持秩序)。
只有a. 最符合题⽬意思，因为make it tidy 与前⼀句中的get his room in order 意思相同，所以选a. 5. ba. a small enough 不合乎语法，不能说a small enough room,可以是 the room is small enough.b. a fairly small(相当⼩的)，c. a terribly small(极⼩的)，d. a much smaller(更加⼩的)，4个选择中只有b 是正确的，因为b中的fairly 同前⼀句的rather(相当)意义相同，所以b是对的。
