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、dreadful
B、respectful
C、harmful
D、fruitful
答案C
解析 本题测试异义词。dreadful意为“可怕的”，指引起恐惧的；respectful意为“恭敬的”，指表现适度尊敬的；harmful意为“有害的”，指造成或能够造成损害的；fruitful意为“硕果累累的”，指大量出产某物的。所填之词应该与前面的excessive一样是贬义词，所以应该选harmful。
