There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time．One of them is to walk around it，guide-book  36  hand. Of course，we may  37  with our guide-books the history and   38   developments of a town and get to know them.

  39  then，if we take our time and   40  in a town for a while，we may get to know it better. When we   41   it as a whole，we begin to have some  42  ，which even the best guide-books do not answer．Why is the town just   43   this，this shape，this plan，this size? Why do its streets   44  in this particular way, and not in any

  45  way?

Here even the best guide-book   46   us．One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the  47  appearance. It may not describe the

original（最初的）  48  of a town．However，one may get some idea of what it

  49   look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine   50   the town was first planned and built．Then one can learn more about in what direction the town  51  to develop．

What  is  the   52   of studying towns in this way？For me，it is   53  that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes．A   54   visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive

  55   just reading about it in a guide-book．

 (08·安徽D篇)

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes，fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment．Although some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本)，which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories，for example，is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater，and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home．Every home should have a good dictionary．A good encyclopedia(百科全书)，though expensive，is useful，too，because you can find information on any subject．Besides，you can have such books as history books，science textbooks，cookbooks，and collections of stories and poems．Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

68. It can be inferred from the passage that＿＿＿.

A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B．cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C．reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

69．What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading，however.”underlined

in the second paragraph suggest?

A．People only need reading，though.

B．Reading is still necessary today.

C．Reading is more fun than television.

D．Watching television doesn’t help reading.

70．Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A．Types of books.                       B．Kinds of dictionaries．

C．Lists of history books．            D．Collections of stories and poems.

71．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books．

B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home．
