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 vie
28、w. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything 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 tw
29、o thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony 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 t
30、hen 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 im
31、portant books of Western Civilization”. “More than anything else in my life”. The professor told the reporter with finality(坚定), “These books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most bo
32、oks, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos 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
33、the time I reached the last word, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list. 56. On hearing the teachers 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 im

37、r so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the program! We have 100% horses from stable(马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings. Horses help us achieve many of o
38、ur aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning. Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with a
39、nd a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack(马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to str
40、engthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses. At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers.

45、ten claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society, where there is a huge demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase n
46、eeds an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy is endless and economical. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run by
47、relatively few technical and managing staff. The nuclear power station represents a large step in our scientific research and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, those who disagree with nuclear energy point out that nuclea
48、r power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to the human race. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether finally nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America and Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of
49、 uranium (铀) and the cost to ensure its safety could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy may bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. Though nuclear energy programmes are e
50、xpanding, which assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. It is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and environmental reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.
51、 64. According to the passage, an increase in industrial production can .A. ensure the safety of nuclear powerB. overcome the resource crisisC. solve the pollution problemD. offer more working opportunities65. According to the anti-nuclear group, nuclear energy has the following disadvantages EXCEPT
52、 that .A. it is a limited source of energy B. it is harmful to the environmentC. it is a danger to the human raceD. it is an expensive source of energy66. Some people claim that nuclear energy is necessary because .A. it can meet the growing demand of energy in an industrially developing societyB. i
53、t represents a big step forward in our scientific developmentC. it provides the best solution to mass unemploymentD. its easy to run a nuclear power station67. The function of the last sentence is to .A. seek help from the public B. change previously expressed thoughtsC. reflect the writers attitude
54、D. show the disadvantages of nuclear power D Walking across the campus of Pittsburghs Carnegie Mellon University one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather. Several had identical blue T-shirts with “Trilogy CMU” written across themT
55、rilogy being an Austin, Texasbased software company with a reputation of recruiting(招聘) our top students. I walked over to the table. “Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked. “No, absolutely not,” they replied firmly. “Were not recruiters. Were just hanging out, playing a little frisbee with our fri
56、ends.” How interesting, I thought. Theyve come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with some new friends. As I later learned, they were gifted students who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments. I asked one young man why he was going to a
57、 smaller city in Taxas. The company is excellent, he told me. There are also terrific people and the work is challenging. Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburghs high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the life-styles options, cultural diversity, and to
58、lerant attitude that would make it attractive to him. As he summed it up: “How would I fit in here?” What a change from my own college days, just a little more than 20 years ago, when students would put on their dressiest clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they co
59、uld fit in with the company. Today, apparently, its the company trying to fit in with the students. These young men and their lifestyles represent a lively new force in the enonomy and life of America. They are members of what I call the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid
60、 part of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend. They do not consciously think of themselves as a class. Yet they share a common belief that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage. 68. Why were the young people in the university
61、campus? A. To get recruited in Pittsburgh. B. To celebrate their successful recruitment. C. To relax themselves away from work. D. To meet their old school mates. 69. Which of he following best describes the authors attitude towards the young people? A. Criticizing.B. Disgusting.C. Approving.D. Disa
62、ppointing. 70. What can you infer from the passage? A. The young people prefer to work in a small quiet city. B. The high pay is the main attraction to the young people. C. Pittsburgh has many advantages over Austin. D. Pittsburgh doesnt have enough attractions to the young people. 第四部分 信息匹配 (共5小题；每
