10、going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models.

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 Platos The Republic, for example

28、 most unusual可知，他的行为虽然怪异，但是长相平常。3C人们和他打招呼。由此可知他在与人们交流。4B5D由上文他用歌声来回应别人可知，人们不能从他的嘴里得到正常的回答。6A从下文always wearing the same old secondhand suit可知，他的生活十分简朴。7B根据上文no respect for him可知，人们甚至有时候取笑他。8C由文章中多处出现的opera，尤其是最后一段got the role in the opera可知C项正确。9D结合上下文语境，尤其是他接受采访这一事实可知，演出获得了成功。10B他回答记者提问时谈吐清晰、悦耳。由此可知
29、他彬彬有礼。11C由下句提示可知，他现在只在舞台上歌唱，平时不再用歌声与人们交流。12A根据文章内容可知，此处是对过去事实的一种假设。如果看到他手提箱中的东西，人们就不会认为他是疯了。13B根据下文a handcarved message on it可知B项正确。14D时时刻刻练习，那么机遇就会悄然而至。15C他之所以获得这个重要角色是因为导演外出买报纸正好听到他的歌声。.A模仿充斥着我们的生活，选择好的模仿的对象才有利于我们的成长，而要想真正改变世界，促进世界的进步，只有创新。16C考查细节理解。由文章第二段的第一句话In the early stages of skill or chara

32、agination.可知答案。20A考查作者意图。纵观全文可以看出，文章首先向我们介绍了模仿，怎样的模仿对于我们的发展有好处；然后告诉我们只有创造者才能改变世界，从而促进世界的进步。由此可以看出，作者的写作目的是强调创造力的重要性。B本文主要讲述了作者中学时期的阅读经历。21A细节理解题。 从第一段后半部分可以看出，作者在听到老师有关阅读的意见以后，就开始争取读尽量多的书，并把自己读过的书都列成了一个书目。22A细节理解题。 从第一段可以得知，作者并不是只读超过100页的书，也不是只是反复地读一本书，更没有关于他学着自己教育自己的表述。由第二段可知，作者在报纸上看到了一位教授列出的一百本最重要的关于西方文明的书，自己就决定读它们，故A正确。23A词义猜测题。 在他的一生中，是他所阅读过的这些书使他取得了如今的成就。根据上下文的理解，我们可以推测这位科学家是很“坚定地，斩钉截铁地”跟记者说的。24C推理判断题。 作者举例说他阅读柏拉图的书是为了说明他当时读书比较盲目，读了很多很深奥难懂的书。25B作者意图题。 作者在文中说他曾经列的两个书单，是为了支撑他整篇文章的主题：他在中学的时候是如何读书的，而并不是他是如何形成自己的观点的。
