語篇理解

  Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

  When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks(空白)in your knowledge. On the other hand ,it is no good just trying to fill your mind with Knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning, like a silly tourist(旅游者)going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose , and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

1The writer thinks that one must ______.

[  ]

Aread as many books as he can

Btry to read books on all the different subjects

Conly read books on subjects that interest him

Dread and absorb a lot

2A cultured man is similar(相同)to a camel because ______.

[  ]

Aneither of them is interested in knowledge

Bthe man reads books as much as a camel eats grass

Cneither of them can be considered wise

Dboth of them have the ability to select

3The term “mental food” at the end of the passage refers to ______.

[  ]

Abooks   Bgrassland

Cbrain   Dsubjects

4In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.

[  ]

Ahow to compare furniture with books

Bhow to select reading materials

Chow to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.

Dwhy books must be absorbed

5The writer thinks that it is ______ to try to master every subject.

[  ]

Anecessary   Bpossible

Cnot good    Dnot interesting

  The first man to step out of a spaceship and “walk” in outer space was a Russian, Alexia LeonAnd Edward White was the first American to take a “space walk”It is very interesting to imagine what it is like to take a “walk” in space

  How did these two astronauts walk in space? Well, they did not actually walk in space with their feetThey floated thereThat is because in space there is no earth under your feet to walk onSpace is emptyThere is nothing around you and nothing under your feet at allSo how is it possible to walk with your feet? You can only floatWhat is more, as there is no up or down in space, to float on your stomach, or on your back, or on your head, all feels the sameIt does not make any difference to you whether you look at the earth upside down or right side up

  A good way to help you to float in space is to use a jet gunIt pushes you much as a jet engine pushes a planeIt also helps you control your directionAnd in order to keep you from moving too far away from your spaceship, you have to have a line with you and tie its other end to the spaceship, because it would be so easy to move too fast and drift so far into space that it would be difficult to get back to the spaceshipThis line also carries oxygen for you to breathe, and messages from inside the spaceship and from the earth

  The first two men to work outside of a spaceship have already enjoyed “space walking”Their experiments are the first step toward the building of space stations for the exploration of outer space
