单选题 Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books—specially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy "proper" books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers. There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dicken's time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet. Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on the small barrows (流动售货车) which line the gutters (街沟). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce (一把抓住) upon the dusty cascaded (一叠叠图书). In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

单选题ADDICTED TO COMPUTER GAMES? WHY DON'T YOU TRY FISHING? HERE ARE FIVE REASONS WHY! ALAN SIMPSON Our special correspondent According to health and exercise specialists, computers are becoming a serious threat to the health and general well-being of a large portion of our society. Dr. Alan Parsons, of the University of Technology, claims that a kind of "nerd syndrome" is sweeping through our society, and it's having serious effects on people's physical and psychological health plus carry-over effects on society itself. Computer game fanatics easily become absorbed in games, lose track of their responsibilities, and suffer from aches and pains associated with long periods of sitting, not to mention eye-strain. And the solution? In a light-hearted weblog entry Dr. Parsons suggested that everything can be solved by...fishing! As a countermeasure to computer games, fishing, apparently, has everything to recommend. Here's why: 1. Computer screens are two-dimensional and don't move. Staring at a computer screen is an unnatural fixation that guarantees sore eyes. Fish. on the other hand, move in three dimensions. 2. At best, computer games provide only a simulation of the real world. It is therefore impossible to get a genuine sense of accomplishment no matter how well you play or how many points you score. In fact, your need for accomplishment will be continually frustrated. 3. Fish never suffer from bugs, glitches, or gremlins. When you go fishing, you can never be ebombed, stalked, or spammed. You'll never have to reset or reconfigure a fish. 4. No matter how exciting a computer game is, you still know pretty much what's going to happen. But with fishing, you never can tell! 5. No matter how complicated a game is, it is never as complex as reality. Computer games can be mastered, but you'll never be an absolute master in the real world. That's where the real challenges are!

单选题An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the"One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word .

单选题D From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor car often brings out a man's very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten. It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person's driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor cars.
