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.

1．The writer thinks that one must ______.

[　　]

A．read as many books as he can

B．try to read books on all the different subjects

C．only read books on subjects that interest him

D．read and absorb a lot

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

[　　]

A．neither of them is interested in knowledge

B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass

C．neither of them can be considered wise

D．both of them have the ability to select

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

[　　]

A．books　　　B．grassland

C．brain　　　D．subjects

4．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.

[　　]

A．how to compare furniture with books

B．how to select reading materials

C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.

D．why books must be absorbed

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

[　　]

A．necessary　　　B．possible

C．not good　　　 D．not interesting

　　The first man to step out of a spaceship and “walk” in outer space was a Russian, Alexia Leon．And 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 feet．They floated there．That is because in space there is no earth under your feet to walk on．Space is empty．There is nothing around you and nothing under your feet at all．So how is it possible to walk with your feet? You can only float．What 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 same．It 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 gun．It pushes you much as a jet engine pushes a plane．It also helps you control your direction．And 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 spaceship．This 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．

1．This passage mainly tells us ______．

[　　]

A．how people walk in outer space

B．how people are sent into outer space

C．how people get back onto the earth from space

D．how people build space stations

2．Alexia Leon and Edward White were both ______．

[　　]

A．Russians　　　 B．Americans

C．spacemen　　　 D．Englishmen

3．In fact, Leon and Edward White both ______．

[　　]

A．walked　　　 B．ran

C．jumped　　　 D．floated

4．A jet gun is used to ______．

[　　]

A．push a plane up into the sky

B．help an astronaut float in space

C．help an astronaut control the direction in space

D．both B and C

5．In space the special line is used to carry oxygen for people to breathe and messages from the spaceship or the earth besides ______．

[　　]

A．keeping people from moving too far away from the spaceship

B．drifting so far into space

C．controlling the direction

D．getting back to the earth
