1999年6月英语四级作文真题:读书要有选择还是博览群书

作者能较熟练地使用词汇表达，一些学术词汇的使用也比较灵活；作者句法不错，但是文章整体句子稍微偏短；层次不清晰，几乎没有使用衔接词。

　　Reading selectively or extensively? What is your choice? Perhaps each of us has our choice. 　　Some people think we should read selectively, for there are lots of books for us to read. Thousands of new books are published every day. How can we cover all these books in our finite time? Besides, not all the books are worth reading. 　　Some people, on the contrary, choose to read extensively. They think that reading extensively can broaden their horizons. Through reading extensively they can learn something about their ancestors; through reading extensively they can become a great man. Reading extensively can also enable us to adapt to the rapid development of society. Because we are living in the social knowledge explosion, if we don’t read extensively, we can’t get enough information about the modern world, and we can’t keep pace with the society. 　　In my opinion, we should read both selectively and extensively. By reading extensively, we can enrich our knowledge. By reading selectively, we can focus on and learn well the academic knowledge we’ll need in our future work.
