【解析】試題分析：亞馬遜所發(fā)布的2014年10本最暢銷圖書書單中的前4本書的圖書簡(jiǎn)介。

【1】C推理判斷題。讀了文章對(duì)這四本書的簡(jiǎn)介可知，《發(fā)明的翅膀》講述的是：奴隸Handful和她青梅竹馬的主人Sarah之間錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的關(guān)系。他們之間令人費(fèi)解的友誼，面對(duì)政治和社會(huì)的種種基準(zhǔn)，在時(shí)間的洗禮中見(jiàn)證了美麗又艱難的蛻變。《我們看不見(jiàn)的光》講述的是二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期法國(guó)盲人女孩瑪麗·勞爾和她的父親一同生活，還有擁有搭建和維修無(wú)線電本領(lǐng)的德國(guó)孤兒維爾納的故事。他們的人生道路交叉之時(shí)，這本發(fā)人深省的小說(shuō)將會(huì)提出疑問(wèn)：生活和藝術(shù)會(huì)怎樣影響戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)？這兩本書重在講述情感方面的故事，故該題正確答案為C.

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章“Gray Mountain”部分可知，經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條使得薩曼莎·酷弗失去了她華爾街律師事務(wù)所的飯碗，她在弗吉尼亞州的一家法律援助診所另尋了份工作，直到她能夠滿懷希望的再次投身大律所。所以她是為律師。故該題正確答案為A.

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章"All the Light We Cannot See" 部分第一句This National Book Award Finalist follows…（這本獲得美國(guó)國(guó)家圖書獎(jiǎng)的書籍，講述的是…），故該題正確答案為B.

【4】D推理判斷題。A．A test report．測(cè)試報(bào)告；B．An announcement.公告，布告，通知；

C．A book review．書評(píng)；D．Introduction of books．圖書簡(jiǎn)介；通讀全文可知，該文主要對(duì)亞馬遜所發(fā)布的2014年10本最暢銷圖書書單中的前4本書籍進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)介，故該題正確答案為D.
