问题     It is simple enough to say that since books have classes: fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice (同谋).
    If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fitness(委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Immerse yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty-two chapters of a novel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building, but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you--how at the comer of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
选项 A、A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.
B、The mere difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.
C、To mad something is easier than to watch something.
D、One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.
答案D
解析 此题只能用排除法，去掉与文章细节不符的选项。选项A意为“读者在阅读时应该能发现一些错误。”文章中没有此细节，可排除。B项“一本书越难读，从中得到知识也越多。”也与文章无关。再看 C项“阅读比观看容易。”根据文章第二段第四句最后一分句可知这正与作者的观点相反，故也排除。最后只剩下D项，应为正确答案。而其内容“读者在阅读时应和作者保持一致。”正是作者的观点，无疑正确。
