I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲諷) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)  

There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.” “More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality , “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list

On heating the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought _______.

A. one must read as many books as possible

  B. a student should not have a complicated idea

  C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books

  D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read

While at high school, the writer _______.    

  A. had plans for reading                            B. learned to educate himself

  C. only read books over 100 pages              D. read only one book several times

The underlined phrase “with finality” probably means _______.

  A. firmly              B. clearly                            C. proudly         D. pleasantly

The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _______.

  A. explain why it was included in the list

  B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list

  C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand

  D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word

The writer provides two book lists to _______.

  A. show how he developed his point of view

  B. tell his reading experience at high school

C. introduce the two persons' reading methods   

  D. explain that he read many books at high school

Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon  abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.    

   Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large  family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.  

   I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.  

    But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. 

1.According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _____

A.full of ambition        B. self-disciplined

C. full of enthusiasm     D. knowledgeable

2.The first paragraph tells us that the author _____

A.lost his hearing when he was a child

B. didn’t like his brothers and sisters

C. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

D. was born to a naturalist’s family

3.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ____.

A.just rends about other peoples observations and discoveries.

B.Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist.

C.Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.

D.Come up with solutions in most natural ways.

4.The author can’t remember him relatives clearly because__

A.He didn’t live very long with them

B.He was too young when he lived with them.

C.The family was extremely large

D.He was fully occupied with observing nature.

5.Which of the following statements is true?

A. The author believes that a born naturalist can not be scientist.

B. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industry

C. The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.

D. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. William，

I've learned that you are interested in Beijing Opera, so I've come to give you two ticket for tomorrow evening's Beijing Opera at Mei Lanfang Theater. But it's real a pity that you happened to be out. So I have to leave the tickets with this note. The  opera will be put on by some famous actors or actresses. He is well worth watching. By the way, I've read the two books you lent me, that are very interested. This week, I am busy review my lessons in order to pass the final exams.

I hope you will have good time.

完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the   21  side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   22   in good health, or   23   about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   24  damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   25  the title. Therefore, the scissors（剪刀）would 26   before they start,  27   halfway done when I find out the   28  result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your   29 .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be  30   up. But you know the future is unpredictable（不可預料）—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left   31  .Thus you are   32  in a difficult position and feel sad. How   33  that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   34   greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

In fact that is what  35  is like: we are often   36  with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   37  we get into another. The latter may be more important than the  38  and give rise to a divided mind. I   39 remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts, another opens in life.”So a casual（不經意） 40  may not be a bad one.
