Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2017·都江堰模拟]Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated W1knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.Many of those who have had, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they o w ed W2much of their purest happiness to books. Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. He says, “If anyone would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that P1I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.”Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter W3around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest W4spirits, through the most charming regions.Without stirring W5from our firesides we may wander to the most remote regions of the earth, or go up high into fields when Spender's shapes of unearthly beauty flock(人群) to meet us, where Milton's angels bell in our ears the choral hymns(赞美诗) of Paradise. Science, art, literature, philosophy, —all that man has though, all that man has done, —the experience that has been bought with the sufferings of a hundred generations, —all are gathered up P2for us in the world of books.篇章导读：本文讲述了书籍对我们生活的重要性，并且鼓励我们要多读书。
