问题      There is nothing illogical or synthetic about the humility of great bookmen in calling attention to the limitations of the book. No book can【1】us to know everything that is to be known, or feel everything that is to be felt. A book is part of life, not a substitute【2】it. It is not a fit【3】for worship or enshrinement. It loses its charm and much of its value when accepted uncritically. No one would have been more【4】than Aristotle if he could have known of the excessive and【5】veneration that would be given to his ideas in centuries to【6】When his works became the last words of advance knowledge, such knowledge became neither advanced nor vital.
     The particular occasion for these remarks is that there are【7】here and there that some of us in the book world may be【8】ourselves too seriously. In the effort to increase book reading some extravagant things are being said about books. It is made to【9】that nothing is happening now that has not happened before, and that the only true approach to understanding is【10】books. We do neither service nor justice to books by【11】upon them such omnipotence and omniscience. Many of the answers we need today are not necessarily to be found between【12】. There are elements of newness in the present【13】of man that will not readily be【14】of by required reading or ready reference. Books are not slide rules or blueprints for【15】automatic answers. What is needed is a mighty blend of the wisdom of the ages with fresh, razor-edged analytical thought.

选项 A、concentrating
B、conferring
C、imposing
D、installing

答案C

解析 本题测试搭配。所填之词应该与后面的upon搭配。confer和install一般不与upon搭配;concentrate upon意为“集中在……,专心于……”;impose upon意为“强加于……”。根据后面的omnipotence and omniscience(无所不能,无所不知)可知,应该选impose。
