2017下半年公共英語閱讀模擬試題及答案

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

　　Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知識庫) which may be called experience， and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理論的) part —— the explanations of why things happen —— is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens ， and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (術語)。 Presently the college student will learn， in this case also， what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman， so can he.

　　Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (傳統(tǒng)的) practices handed down from father to son ， or mother to daughter， of old country customs (習慣)， of folklore (風俗)。 All this is very difficult for a college student to examine， for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass.
