From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment (满足) when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed (授予) by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off places, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart’ s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty (高耸的) mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards (林阴大道); we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
The sentence "...the whole world is ours for the asking’ (Line 11, Para. 3) implies that______.
选项
A、in books the world is more accessible to us
B、we can ask to go anywhere in the world
C、we can make a claim to everything in this world
D、we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge
答案
A
解析
这句话出自原文的最后一段。这句话之前的三句是并列句,由分号隔开,讲述了我们可以到好莱坞、巴黎和阿尔卑斯山,紧接着便是:“Indeed,through books the whole world is ours for the asking.”这是对前三句的一个总结。因此,我们可以推断,A项的理解是对的。B项和C项未摆脱“for the asking”这一表面意思,D项中的“free of charge”和这句话意思相去甚远。因此,A项是正确答案。
