时文阅读精选一、爱的姿势澜涛(1)救援人员发现她的时候,她已经死了,是被跨塌下来的房子压死的。
透过废墟的间隙,救援人员看到她双膝跪地,整个上身向前匍匐着,双手扶地支撑着身体,有些像古人行跪拜礼,只是身体被压得变形了,看上去有些怪异。
救援人员从废墟的空隙间伸进手去,确认她已经死亡,又冲着废墟喊了几声,用撬棍在砖头上敲了几下,她都没有任何反应,废墟里也没有任何回应。
还有太多的被困者等待救援,救援人员立刻向新的目标搜寻,当救援人员在下一处废墟前探寻是否有生还者时,救援队长隐约听到从她那里传来婴孩的啼哭声。
救援人员立刻纷纷跑回她的尸体前,救援队长再次将手伸进她的尸体底下,仔细地摸索着,摸了几下,救援队长高声喊道“”有人,有个孩子,还活着!”(2)经过一番努力,救援人员小心地把挡着她的废墟清理开,在她的尸体下发现了一个包裹在红色带黄花的小被子里的、三四个月大的婴儿。
因为有她身体的庇护,婴儿毫发未伤。
(3)随行的医生过来解开被子准备给婴儿做些检查,发现有一部手机塞在被子里。
医生下意识地看了一下手机屏幕,发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信:“亲爱的宝贝,如果你能活着,一定要记住我爱你。
”(4)瞿万容是一位幼儿园老师。
地震发生时,她正和其他4名老师在校,照看着80多个孩子午睡。
她悄声和另外几名老师说,等孩子们午睡醒来后,她要教孩子们做一个她新学的游戏,她说的时候,脸上满是明媚和喜悦。
(5)然而,地震突然而至,欲将所有的美丽撕碎。
(6)5名老师,80个孩子。
将孩子们都疏散到安全地带成了老师们不可能完成的任务。
但老师们齐声喊了一句“救孩子”后,就转身冲向酣睡着的孩子,她也毫不迟疑地冲向一个孩子。
接下来,她都做了什么,无人得知。
(7)地震过去之后,只有30名孩子和两名老师生还。
当救援人员在废墟中发现她时,她扑在地上,后背上压着一块垮塌的水泥板,怀里紧抱着一个小孩。
小孩生还了,她却已经没有了呼吸。

高考语文作文素材: 时文阅读第一辑 不舍的依依
不舍的依依
•
同事告诉我,她的姨姨刚过世,我奇怪从没察觉她表现伤心,她说:"是癌症,全家人早有心理准备。
"
心理准备,也许是天下最强的装备,勇气的源头。
早知道某些事情必然发生,预先设想下一步和再下一步,到事情真正发生的时候,就不会阵脚大乱。
冷静地应付,总能过渡。
有很多情况,其实并不是怕,只是有点乱。
有人连蟑螂都怕,有人天不怕地不怕,最勇敢和最胆怯,都是一种心理状况。
我常常想,恐怖分子在行动那天,如何以大脑操控双脚,踏出家门,一步一步迈向死亡?走到最后那一步,到底怎么说服自己完成?
为死作出心理准备,当然不容易,但也是可以做到的。
可是,为爱人的死作心理准备,比自己的来得更艰难。
想象爱人离开,之后自己要面对的孤独和不舍,最最可怕。
孤独,无论怎么有心理准备,都是最难面对的黑暗;不舍,无论怎样调适,都是最难平顺的疙瘩。
有时候,傻傻的,我也会想象日后自己将怎样面对死亡。
其实我很怕死,怕自己离开后飘游的灵魂还懂得思念,怕那不舍的依依。

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk.It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?”On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard.However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture.

He was very talented and forward-thinking. He worked out a series of reform plans for the state, including focusing on farming and giving rewards to soldiers who were successful during war.But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few people in the state understood Shang’s talent and advantages of his plans. Most people had little trust and confidence in him.To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly, “People of Qin, here is my offer. Whoever takes this pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces.”It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking.Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, “I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces.”This offer was even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.Word spread about what had happened in the capital. Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word.

He reminded Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening.When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. In the small hours(凌晨)of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao.

But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves.As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they mistook it for a surprise attack by the Zhou Yu camp. Since they could see nobody on the river, they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the unexpected attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his fleet turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke.

The soldiers shouted in excitement, “Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows.” After they got back to their camp, they collected more than 100,000 arrows in total from the scarecrows.10.How many days did Zhuge Liang need to make 100,000 arrows?A.One day.B.Two days.C.Three days.D.Ten days.11.The underlined word “feet” probably means _________ in Chinese.A.船帆B.甲板C.船浆D.船队12.Who created the idea to get the arrows?A.Zhou Y u.B.Zhuge Liang.C.Lu Su.D.Cao Cao.13.The soldiers in the Cao camp shot arrows because _________.A.the Zhou Yu camp started an attackB.they could see each other on the riverC.they mistook the shouting and beating for a surprise attackD.Lu Su beat the drums14.How did Zhou Yu probably feel after Zhuge Liang returned with over 100,000 arrows?

Reading for Fun 英语时文阅读第一期Reading for Fun高一英语组Passage1Learning to be citizens上海“小政协委员”写提案建言献策。
词数332 建议阅读时间6分钟Zhou Shihao, 17, ofShanghai Yichuan High School,was shocked by the statistics (数据) he had found. When he was looking into the use of handheld cellphones by drivers, he found that more than 30 percent of them reach for their phones on the road.“No use of handheld devices should be allowed while driving,” said Zhou. “It’s not a trifle (琐事), but a serious social issue.”The teenager’s concerns led to his drafting (拟稿) a proposal (提案) on this issue, something he did together with five other schoolmates in the Mock (模拟的) Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)competition in the Putuo District of Shanghai.Zhou and his schoolmates were not alone. In January, many Shanghai youngsters, even elementary school students, took part in Mock CPPCC competitions held in their local districts and handed in proposals on issues ranging from cyber security (网络安全) and the future city to the protection of traditional culture.“The competition encourages us to focus on social issues and play an active rolein taking responsibility for our country,” said Zhang Simin, 17, of Shanghai Nanyang High School.The senior student used to think that the handling of state affairs was just for politicians. But thinking on the “half-past three problem” changed her mind.Kids usually finish school at half-past three; however, most parents work until six, making it hard for them to pick kids up. “This is a problem we’ve all been through,” said Zhang.To help students, Zhang’s school invited deputies to the National People’s Congress (全国人大代表) to give students instruction.“Thanks to the deputies, we finally understand that it’s not who is to blame (指责) that matters, but finding the best solution,” said Zhang.“The competition aims to encourage a sense of citizenship among China’s post-00s generation,” said Xia Jing, a teacher from Shanghai Jinyuan Senior High School. “Through this channel, students can let their voices be heard.”Passage2A dad who stands tallAs the taxi pulls away, my father stands at the living room window looking out, watching me move off into the darkness, at 4:30 am. His grey hair is messy from sleeping.Moments ago, he got up to carry my suitcase for me, despite the fact that it’s the middle of the night. He set it down for me on the front step in the cold morning air.He thanked me for my cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worry about his loneliness and the sudden emptiness of the house, as he goes back to bed alone, to wake later, with no one there.“I have my projects,” he said, in the moments before I walked out the door.When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt the stillness in the house. It was quiet and lifeless. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But, now, they’re gone;I am the last to leave.As the taxi began to depart (离开), I watched the lights go off, but my father didn’t leave. Even though he couldn’t see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, his figure framed by the window, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year. Always, it is ready to decorate when we arrive.Like trees, my father endures (承受) hardships in life: the untimely (过早地) death of my mother years ago, and now his children have scattered (分散) far from home, our selfish choices taking us from one end of the country to the other. The life of the tree is short; my father’s is long and strong. But both of them are tall and straight.I watched him as he waited in the living room, where we sat, talked, had dinners, held our parties, watched the news, waited for the beauty of twilight (暮色) each late afternoon – and said goodbye.He stands still as the taxi pulls away.Are there tears in his eyes, as there are in mine?I can’t wave from the taxi, as I abandon a parent to loneliness in the earlymorning darkness.I leave behind two trees: one with silver-grey hair, the other still freshly green.But I haven’t the strength of either one.

2022高考语文作文素材:时文阅读第一辑 豪华
2022高考语文作文素材:时文阅读第一辑豪华
物质因此要紧,
但是最高的享受,
统统与名利无关。
那才是真正的奢华。
《时代周刊》附送了一本礼品名目,其中不乏豪华奢侈到极点的礼物。
像这一条钻石项链:原名叫拉索多诺言钻石,重600克拉,D色,由格拉夫珠宝公司以1.24亿美元投得,结果切割成36颗重225克拉镶成钻石项链……
资本主义社会确实是这般奢侈。
然而,礼品册最后一页,却刊登这首小诗:
“别同我说豪华,
你应明白,真正的奢侈,
是时刻,
时刻与一杯茶,
与一枚梨子,
或一只苹果,
也许一小块蛋糕,
差不多足够。
”
说得真好。
小友更直截了当:“肯陪你谈天的男友,那才是天下奢侈。
”
大伙儿都看开了,物质因此要紧,但是最高的享受,统统与名利无关。
那才是真正的奢华。
人类的贪欲欲望,暴力争斗,以及他们灵魂深处的不自由,常常是假“道德”之名而行。
所谓『感官动物』,问题不在于他们是否能看到或听到真相,而在于他们生活中心灵的缺席。
用已知去探究未知,结果通常是:已知的变成未知,未知的依旧未知。
一个人一辈子活中能拥有多少欢乐,决定于他的心扉放开了多少。

高考时文阅读(passages 1-2)Passage 1 Giant leap for ChinaA few days ago, he was just Colonel (上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei's smile was seen across the world above the magic words: "China's first spaceman".The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.Yang was satisfied with his job. "I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful," he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1,350 hours in the air. He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later.While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China's national flag and the United Nations' flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitational forces (重力) on takeoff and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.He has spent five years training to become a spaceman."I eat all of my meals at the space programme's dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten," he said. "I've never met his teachers."But becoming China's first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile."When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn't help feeling excited," he said. "I decided that I had to fly it."To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum (网上论坛) said: "Yang's trip is a giant leap forward for China."Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005. China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab.1. What is the main idea of the story?A. China's first manned space flight.B. A hero with great courageC. The first Chinese man in spaceD. How Yang Liwei became China's first spaceman2. How long did each of Yang's orbits take on average?A. 1 hour.B. 1.5 hours.C. 6 hours.D. The story didn't mention.3. Why did the writer mention the gravitational forces on takeoff and landing?A. To stress the hardship and the spaceman had to experience.B. Because it was a very special experience for any spacemen.C. To stress how much training he had to do to prepare for the flightD. To show that Yang is lucky.4. Why did the writer use "giant leap" in the title?A. Because the space flight marked China's great progress in the field of space exploration.B. Because Neil Armstrong said it was a "giant leap" for mankind when he first set foot on the moon.C. Because the space flight was a huge success.D. Both A and B.Passage 2 Chinese fourth unmanned spacecraft into spaceChina blasted its fourth unmanned craft into space on Monday in what is likely a final test before sending its first astronaut into orbit around earth, state media said.The Shenzhou IV, or "Divine Ship," took off from its launch center in the northwestern province of Gansu early Monday morning and had already settled into its course around Earth, the official Xinhua news agency and newspapers reported. "The successful launch of the Shenzhou IV has laid a solid foundation for China to send Chinese astronauts into space," the China Daily quoted an official at the Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center as saying. Like its predecessors, the craft will circle Earth once every 90 minutes. The vessel, which boasts a complete system needed for manned flight, will fly in space for a few days before landing.China's space program is a test of national pride as the country, growing fast after two decades of market-oriented reforms, seeks a place on the world stage alongside great powers. China aims to become the third nation in the world capable of putting people in space. The Soviet Union first accomplished the feat in 1961, with the United States following the next year. The country started its manned flight program in 1992, the Xinhua reported, adding astronauts had entered the Shenzhou IV to train for missions for the first time. Xinhua quoted Su Shuangning, a leading official for the manned flight program, as saying Chinese astronauts, all with fighter pilot backgrounds, were absolutely capable of making their maiden voyage to outer space.1. In ________ China started its manned flight program.A. 1961B.1962C.1992D.20002. Which nations succeeded in carrying people into space?A. the Soviet Union and ChinaB. the United States and ChinaC. the former Soviet Union and the United StatesD. Russia3. Which is NOT true about "the Shenzhou IV" according to this report?A. It's Chinese fourth unmanned spacecraft launched into space.B. It is likely to be a final test before launching a manned craft.C. It was successfully launched early Monday morning.D. It did not boast a system needed for manned flight.4. The Last sentence in bold implies all of the following but _________.A. The leading official is quite sure that China is capable of sending manned crafts into space.B. The astronauts who will take the first trip into space were picked out among the fighter pilots.C. Chinese astronauts have made several voyages to outer space before.D. Xinhua news agency quoted impersonally what Su Shuangning , the leading official for the manned flight program, said.keys:Passage 1 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. D中国载人航天飞行取得圆满成功,这一消息令国人振奋。
高考语文素材:时文阅读
时文阅读(一)●读经少年悲剧背后有多少功利的家长当美好的道德追求和精致的利己主义结合,结果很可能是金玉其外、败絮其中,这就更违背学习传统文化的本义了。
《新京报》近日报道了有“读经少年”苦学十年最终却难以适应现代社会的悲剧。
这些孩子在本该接受中小学义务教育的年龄,被家长送去“读经”,最后甚至连字都认不全,与现实生活完全脱节了。
“读经少年”的悲剧令人心痛,没把握住最宝贵的成长时期,他们想重新融入主流社会,恐怕颇为艰难。
这样的悲剧不只是发生在新闻里,在“国学热”的吸引下,过去几年有不少家长送孩子去读各种名目的“国学班”“读经班”“传统文化班”,暂不说这些培训班是否有效、开设的课程是否合乎规范,单从某些家长的盲目与疯狂的态度来看,我就常为这些孩子的发展和前程捏一把汗。
爱玩是孩子的天性。
易中天曾说过,“男孩子小时候不调皮捣蛋,长大了没出息”。
这观点虽有偏激之处,但也并非毫无道理。
孩童时代的玩耍不仅能满足孩子的好奇心,还能锻炼他们的运动才能。
孩子们通过同辈交往能逐渐形成独特的性格,并且获取最简单的社交能力。
有不少送孩子去“读经班”的家长觉得孩子太调皮,就认为这是“不礼貌”“没教养”甚至“没出息”,这显然太上纲上线了。
按照一些家长和“读经班”的理论,当代社会物欲横流、人心沦丧,要保持内心的一丝不染,必须遵循远古圣贤的教诲。
这种观念无疑是荒谬的。
人在任何时候都不该做出背离时代潮流的事情,现代人不看电视、不用互联网、不学习数理科学知识,这就会自绝于现代文明,这不是回归古典,而是退回野蛮和荒芜。
曾有在“读经班”短暂学过的人跟我讲,有些进入青春期的“读经少年”,做起坏孩子的事情来比一般的坏孩子还要坏,打架、酗酒、抽烟样样通,甚至还带有一种“阴阴的坏”。
可见,“读经”未必能让孩子们成为“圣贤”。
苦心孤诣培养孩子读经,最后却让孩子成了游离于主流社会外的边缘人,这显然不是家长的初衷。
但是,当一个人被某种能自洽的理论光芒诱惑的时候,他也就无法维持理性了。
高一语文 时文快读(第一期)
高一语文时文快读诺奖得主在学校终于有了自己的停车位《中国青年报》( 2011年10月17日 12 版)2011年度诺贝尔物理学奖获得者索尔·珀尔马特。
10月5日,是来伯克利之后第一个飘雨的清晨。
当打开学校官网查看邮件时,页面左下角的一行字惊醒了惺忪的我:伯克利教授Saul Perlmutter(索尔·珀尔马特)荣获2011年度诺贝尔物理学奖。
下午一点钟,学校将会为教授举行一个获奖讲座。
这是进入21世纪以来加州大学伯克利分校的第5个诺贝尔奖,也是新世纪以来诺贝尔物理学奖继2006年后再次花落伯克利。
当我走过Wheeler Hall,正巧遇到刚刚完成入门天文学考试的同学们。
他们兴奋地告诉我,为他们监考的正是几个小时前刚刚获得诺贝尔物理学奖的教授。
“我都有点没考好。
”一位同学开玩笑说。
这门课的授课人是另外一名明星教授Alex Filippenko。
由于Perlmutter教授非常关心和享受教学,并时常在一些入门课程中充当特约演讲人。
按日程安排,作为天文学教授之一,他将参加监考。
在获得诺奖之后他也谢绝了一些采访请求,如约出现在学生面前。
当他踏入教室,迎接他的是经久不息的掌声。
在LeConte Hall的山坡上,一个新的停车位刚被画出来。
这是伯克利的传统:只有诺贝尔奖获得者才有免费的停车位。
难怪在采访中Perlmutter教授幽默地说:“终于在学校有自己的停车位了。
”距离演讲还有半个小时,报告厅已经座无虚席。
为了安全考虑,更多的人站在报告厅门外。
我也在这个行列之中,直到半个小时后,我才找到了位置。
台上是Saul Perlmutter的团队,包括从上个世纪90年代就开始跟随他的一些研究人员,还有他的同事Alex Filippenko。
值得一提的是,Filippenko在这次重大发现中功不可没。
他是唯一一位同时参与了Saul Perlmutter 小组以及另外两位获奖者Schmidt 和Reiss小组的研究人员。

英语时文阅读第一篇 A ban on setting off firecrackers?XINHUA话题:“过年要不要燃放烟花爆竹”这个讨论从年前争论到年后,从减少环卫工人负担到降低空气污染,反对者的声音高涨。
但也有人认为,作为传统节日活动,应该燃放烟花爆竹。
你怎么看?Wang Xingyue, 14, from Shanghai:I don’t think we should set off firecrackers (爆竹) during holidays. It is really noisy. Some people fire them during midnight. People around cannot sleep well. Besides, it brings air pollution (污染) and lots of rubbish. Most people do not clean the rubbish after they set off firecrackers. So I think there is no need to set them off anymore during holidays.Liu Ran, 14, from Shandong:Setting off firecrackers is a tradition during Chinese festivals. They set them off to celebrate or wish a happy new year. The ceremony (仪式) is very important in Chinese people’s lives. And it also reminds (提醒) us of one of the four great inventions (发明) of China, gunpowder (火药). We cannot give it up. It is good to have this ceremony during holidays. Do you agree with me?Lin Yisong, 15, from Zhejiang:I think we should control (控制) the setting off of firecrackers. During holidays, the government could get people together in a place. They can set off some firecrackers or fireworks and people can watch. It is safer to do this and people can also enjoy their holiday tradition.Zhang Qi, 14, from Guangxi:Firecrackers are dangerous and bad for the air. But it is really an important tradition in Chinese festivals. So I think we can use something else to replace (代替) them. For example, we can use LED fireworks instead. It is also beautiful and attractive. And it is much safer. Even kids can play with them.Li Qing, 14, from Jiangsu:I think we can improve the technology of firecrackers. The firecrackers we use now are dangerous. That’s why we cannot fire them anytime or anywhere we want. But if we can make them much safer and good for the air, we don’t have to give up the interesting tradition during Chinese festivals.第二篇Birthday girl’s t rip of mystery神秘的银冠带来的奇幻之旅THE Silver Crown (《银色皇冠》)is an exciting read. It is abouta girl who wakes up on herbirthday to find a silver crownunder her pillow (枕头), butthe day doesn’t turn out asshe would have thought.Eventually she ends up in amysterious school and then ishunted for her crown. To findher family, the girl has totravel through forests,mountains and the countryside while meeting many interesting characters with completely different natures.There are many different characters and it is very hard to choose a favorite, as they are all individuals (与众不同的人) with their own personalities. The story kept me guessing as it takes many twists and turns (波折). My favorite part in the story was when the main character and her friend camp in a cave with gems (珍宝) in all of the walls. The description that the author gives here makes youthink and keep the pages turning. There was nothing I really disliked about this book. Perhaps apart from the fact it ended on a cliffhanger (悬念), which I personally do not like in books generally.Overall I think this is a great book. I recommend it to teenagers and people aged 11 onwards.

高三现代文时文阅读精编(一)
时文阅读材料:在怀疑的时代更需要信仰——卢新宁在北大中文系2012年毕业典礼上的致辞谢谢你们叫我回家。
让我有幸再次聆听老师的教诲,分享我亲爱的学弟学妹们的特殊喜悦。
就像刚才那首歌唱的,“记忆中最美的春天,难以再回首的昨天”。
如果把生活比作一段将理想“变现”的历程,我们只是一叠面额有限的现钞,而你们是即将上市的股票。
从一张白纸起步的书写,前程无远弗届,一切皆有可能。
面对你们,我甚至缺少一分抒发“过来人”心得的勇气。
但我先生力劝我来,我的朋友也劝我来,他们都是84级的中文系学长。
今天,他们有的仍然是一介文人,清贫淡泊;有的已经主政一方,功成名就;有的发了财做了“富二代”的爹,也有的离了婚、生活并不如意,但在网上交流时,听说有今天这样一个机会,他们都无一例外地让我一定要来,代表他们,代表那一代人,向自己的弟弟妹妹说点什么。
是的,跟你们一样,我们曾在中文系就读,甚至读过同一门课程,青涩的背影都曾被燕园的阳光,定格在五院青藤缠满的绿墙上。
但那是上个世纪的事了,我们之间横亘着20多年的时光。
那个时候我们称为理想的,今天或许你们笑称其为空想;那时的我们流行书生论政,今天的你们要面对诫勉谈话;那时的我们熟悉的热词是民主、自由、振兴中华,今天的你们记住的是“拼爹”、“躲猫猫”、“打酱油”;那个时候的我们喜欢在三角地游荡,而今天的你们习惯隐形于伟大的互联网。
我们那时的中国依然贫穷却豪情万丈,而今天这个世界第二大经济体,还在苦苦寻找更多的幸福,无数和你们一样的青年喜欢用“囧”形容自己的处境。
20多年时光,中国到底走了多远?存放我们青春记忆的“三角地”早已荡然无存,见证你们少年心绪的“一塔湖图”正在创造新的历史。
你们这一代人,有着远比我们当年更优越的条件、更广博的见识、更成熟的内心,站在更高的起点。
我们想说的是,站在这样高的起点,由北大中文系出发,你们不缺前辈大师的庇荫,更不少历史文化的熏染。
《诗经》、《楚辞》的世界,老庄孔孟的思想,李白杜甫的词章,构成了你们生命中最为激荡的青春时光。

高考语文作文素材 时文阅读第一辑 英国看病记
2007年9月,我带儿子去英国旅游,住在曼彻斯特朋友家。
没想到,一到英国,水土不服,身体不适,感冒了。
两天之后,发烧了。
无奈之下,只得去医院。
朋友知道我英语水平不行,问要不要陪我去。
我说不用,自己打了辆出租车,就近到了曼彻斯特一家医院就诊。
一进医院大门,我有些惊讶。
医院很安静,没多少人,边上甚至还有儿童玩耍的设施。
这与国内医院有天壤之别。
国内医院简直与火车站候车大厅没什么两样,嘈杂混乱。
“我能帮你做什么?”咨询台一位黑人女接待员迎了上来。
“我看急诊。
”我操着不熟练的英语回答说。
黑人女接待员递过了一张记录表,让我登记一下。
我的英语水平大致能对付前面的身高体重年龄性别等,但下面的有关历史病历的记录,却难倒了我。
接待员给我解释,我也听不懂。
我拿出了随身携带的电子词典,吭哧吭哧地查找着。
无奈,我给中国驻曼彻斯特总领事馆打了电话,请求帮忙。
领事馆的人问清情况,让我不要着急。
不一会儿,一位小伙子蹬着轮滑就过来了,远远地就跟我招手,原来是领事馆的义工,是位台湾同胞。
在他的帮助下,我很快搞定了表格,开始就医。
一位胖胖的白人女护士过来,带我做常规检查。
从测量身高体重血压,到肺部检查做心电图,就像国内的体检一样,全部做了一遍。
都正常,护士把记录我体检情况的报告给了大夫。
医生是一位白人男士,他迅速地看了遍我刚做完检查的表格,跟我说:“放松,没事,小意思啦。
”然后,开始询问我最近饮食是否正常,发烧多长时间了,大小便的颜色是什么样的。
我一一结结巴巴做了解释,到回答大便颜色时,我一下子卡壳了,英语不会说。
着急中,我猛然看到医生的头发,脱口而出:“很正常,颜色就像你的头发……”话一出口,我马上觉得失礼了,赶紧道歉。
“是么?”医生扭头对着镜子照了照,用手撸了一下自己黄褐色的头发,“嗯,我明白了。
”医生转过来对着我微微一笑。
我一下子松了口气。
医生问完我情况,说:“我给你开点药就行了。
”“不要输液么?”我将信将疑,脱口而出。
“为什么要输液?为什么?”医生吃惊地看着我,不解地反问。

初三英语时文阅读(一)(材料一)“美国第一家庭”迎来“白宫第一狗”!早在竞选总统的时候,奥巴马就承诺送给两个女儿一条宠物狗,无论成败。
Meet the First Pet: Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog!Last Tuesday, the U.S. first family officially welcomed their first pet—Bo, a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog*. The selection was one of the White House‟s most tightly kept secrets.They’ll love the dog!President Barack Obama‟s daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, never had pets before. The black and white puppy is a gift from Sen. Edward Kennedy (爱德华·肯尼迪参议员), who owns three Portuguese water dogs himself.“We couldn‟t be happier to see the joy that Bo is bringing to Malia and Sasha,” Kennedy said in a statement. “We love our Portuguese water dogs and know that the girls—and their parents—will love theirs, too.”Why Bo?Malia and Sasha have named the dog Bo, after a cousin‟s cat and in honor of Michelle Obama‟s grandfather, who was nicknamed Diddley. The name for the dog was an apparent (明显的) reference (参考) to the singer “Bo” Diddley.White House aides (助手) told the AP (美联社) that the office of the first lady arranged an exclusive (排他的,独家的) deal (交易) on the dog story with the Washington Post (《华盛顿邮报》).That’s top secret!Before the official announcement, many websites were abuzz with* rumors (谣言,流言) of the first famil y‟s selection; one website even claimed it had pictures of the first pet. Hearing the rumors, Obama joked to reporters: “Oh, man, now, that‟s top secret.”“That was a campaign promise,” Obama said in a talk show last month. The president made a lot of promises during his election campaign, but none more important than (没有比…更重要的) this one to his young daughters; he vowed to buy them a dog, win or lose.Now, he has fulfilled the promise.*water dog: 会游水的狗, (俚语) 老练的水手be abuzz with 热烈…(讨论)(材料二)假期在即,手头却有数不清的作业?试试“留在家里的假期”吧!最美的风景就在身边!Getting Away by Staying HomeWhat will you be doing for the Labor Day holiday? For many, the extra days off provide an ideal opportunity to go and see new places. This is a great way to spend your vacation. However, more and more people are starting to take a “staycation.” That is, instead of traveling, many people are opting (选择) to stay at home and enjoy local recreational activities.Conveniently termed in 2003 as “staycation,”this modern word is shorthand(简略表达) for “st ay-at-home vacation.” Opting for a staycation during your break is a great way to save money because there are no lodging costs (住宿费用) and minimal travel expenses. In addition, it is a great way to take the time to connect with your community and support local businesses. By taking the time to explore and admire the beauty and fun in your immediate (附近的) environment, you can discover cool places that you never knew before. As a result, your experience as a “staycationer” will cause you to have a greater appreciation (了解,欣赏) for your local area.Another attractive reason for going with a staycation during your break owes to (归功于) the lack of stress. As a busy student, it is important to have some time to rest, clear your mind, and “breathe” a little. Traveling, however, is full of packing (整理行装), long-distance travel, waiting in long lines, and tiresome navigation through unfamiliar territory(地域). As a result, traveling “vacations”become another energy-drainer (耗费精力的), piling on (累积) stress during a time when you should be free from it.So, as you contemplate(计划) what you would like to do for the Labor Day holiday, consider a staycation to relax, save money, and refresh yourself! Make sure that you are not tempted to* work at home due to (由于) easy access to e-mail and related materials. Remind yourself that this is YOUR personal time and make the best of (充分利用) it by exploring Shanghai, meeting up with friends, and taking your mind off (忘却) your busy schedule.* be tempted to do sth. 某人被诱惑做某事(被动)(材料三)被功课压得喘不过气,因为父母吵架感到害怕,或是和好朋友吵架了……这些问题应该去和谁聊聊呢?Talk to Your School CounselorIf you study in America or other western countries, a school counselor (顾问,辅导员) plays a very important role in your life.Counselors help you cope*School counselors know how to listen and help. They‟ll take your problem seriously and work with you to find a good solution. A counselor can help you deal with sadness when someone has died, as well as advise you on taking the right classes to get into your dream college. Whatever problem you have, your counselor has seen it before — and has lots of good advice on how to help you work through it.Student-Counselor MeetingsCounselors meet with students individually or in small groups. The most common setting is a private meeting just between the student and the counselor. Most school counselors have their own offices where you can sit and talk.School counselors probably ask you to visit him or her even if you don‟t have a problem. This helps you feel comfortable with the counselor in case you ever need to meet in a time of crisis. It‟s usually easier to talk about a tough issue or a problem when you already feel comfortable with the counselor.Sometimes counselors also meet students in groups. Group meetings can really help people who are dealing with similar issues. In these group settings, people can share their feelings and learn coping skills. Not only do you get great ideas in a group, but it can also help to know that other students are going through the same thing.It‟s just not possible to sort* through tough times alone. Problems can build up and you may lose sleep, find you can‟t concentrate on(集中于) homework, or even become depressed(抑郁的,消沉的). When you need to talk to someone, your school counselor can be a great place to start.*cope 对付(困难),竞争/抗衡/对抗词组:cope withsort 分类;整顿,整理;分选,拣(sort out)(材料四)奥巴马欧洲之行“小试牛刀”,抛出橄榄枝,改善美国形象。
第1辑:青年人等5篇-备战2020年高考语文时文精读细评
第1辑:青年人等5篇【目录】(1)青年人要寻找自己的星星之火(2)像弱者一样感受世界的是强者吗?(3)“老人霸座拘留五日”不因个体污名化老人群体(4)“勿需让座”的硬核大爷,让代际和解充满可能(5)为传统节日赋予当代表达【正文】(1)青年人要寻找自己的星星之火陕声祥来源:人民论坛听一位颇有影响的作家谈自己的成长经历。
他说少年时代,他很羡慕大人使用红印章,就用橡皮雕刻了一个,蘸上红墨水在家里到处盖,很有做大人的成就感。
他把这个经历写成了一篇文章,投给县文化馆。
文章发表了,在县里临街的宣传橱窗上,占了大部分版面。
这件事很快在当地传开了。
他深受鼓舞,不断学习,不断进步,一步一个台阶,33 岁成了省里最年轻的国家二级编剧。
现在已经成为全国知名作家。
【借用事例,引入论题】每个有所成就的人,如要追溯一番,可能都存有那么一个闪光的“原点”。
开始亮度并不怎么高,却以此发端,不断聚合生命的能量,成就一生的事业。
先前那闪光的“原点”犹如一星火光,终成燎原之势,发出耀眼的光芒。
【对事例进行阐述,提出论点:要找到自己的“星星之火”】善于发现属于自己的一星火光,对于人生十分重要。
俗话说,人人有才,人无全才。
舞蹈家未必有一副金嗓子,科学家不一定有艺术造诣,建筑大师可能对机械制造全然陌生。
同样是文学家,诗词曲赋可能各有偏好,散文、小说各有擅长。
发现自己的优长所在,扬长避短,发扬光大,才能找到一条适合自己的成长道路。
【论述找到自己的“星星之火”的重要意义】那点星火,可以是生活中的某种兴趣爱好,也可以是自己学习、工作中表现出来的某种能力、禀赋。
童话大王郑渊洁上小学时,写了一小段话,老师特别欣赏,并拿到班上朗读。
这件事给了郑渊洁莫大的鼓舞,激发了他写作的信心和力量。
伴着这种力量,他致力于文学创作,发表童话作品上亿字,成为名副其实的“童话大王”。
那一小段话的写作,竟然成为他作家人生的起点和巨量作品的源头。
细细思量,我们每个人何曾没有一些小小的成功,没有一些相对而言略胜一筹的地方?【论述“星星之火”的内涵】当然,罗马不是一天建成的。

深思熟虑之后,“硬着头皮”这一步专门重要,这需要勇气,需要排除顾虑,同意专门糟糕的后果,然后喜出望外,大功告成。
人一辈子许多事,事实上是硬着头皮才做成的。
某君青年时,专门怕他的英文老师。
某次升级考试,他的英文差五分才及格,学校规定中英数有一科不及格便要留级。
他自己检查试卷,发觉有两处改错的地点。
假如改正过来,他就刚能够及格,不用留级。
然而他专门怕这位老师,担忧分数争不到,还要挨一顿臭骂。
考虑到翌日,他才决定硬着头皮向老师讨回公道。
想不到老师不但没有骂他,还向他道歉。
分数既及格,因此不用留级。
他也学会了凡事应争取者争取,不要躲避畏缩。
这对他后来的事业有专门大关心。
另一位某君,专门喜爱一位女同事,但她的职位比他高,他尽管明白她对自己也有好感,但不敢向她表示,怕遭拒绝之后大伙儿同在一个公司会尴尬。
就如此拖了两年,终于硬着头皮向她示爱,同时做好预备,不论她如何反应,他都会辞职。
他已在另外一家公司找到工作。
女同事反应十分正面,结果专门快便成为情侣,一年后结婚。
他经常对别人说,深思熟虑之后,“硬着头皮”这一步专门重要,这需要勇气,需要排除顾虑,同意专门糟糕的后果,然后喜出望外,大功告成。
高考语文作文素材 时文阅读第一辑 矫情现代都市病
01前段时间看到一本养生方面的书,上面写到多喝水的种种好处,自认为平时喝水不多,以后每天也就多喝了些。
可在一次微量元素检测中,医师说我缺钙,说是由于体内水分过多造成了钙流失,又劝我以后少喝些水。
我茫然。
现代人们生活得异常明白,又十分糊涂。
不是人的脑子退化了,而是因为现代社会发展日新月异,信息爆炸,我们分不清哪些是真的,哪些又是假的,我们的精神思维和社会发展没能同步。
“不是我不明白,这世界变化快。
”这句歌词唱出了我们的心声。
目前在各地的书店里,养生健康类图书种类之多让人眼花缭乱。
对于此类养生书籍,大家都感到困惑,各种养生书籍内容“互掐”的现象屡见不鲜:有的说“大蒜能治很多医院治不了的病”,有的则又说“大蒜是惰性食物,多食用会使我们经常生病”……养生专家告诫咱们,几点入睡,何时锻炼,一顿饭吃几两米,如何搭配水果等,但是如此高强度的“养生”,事事处处比照专家之训去做,谨小慎微,唯恐哪点不慎而祸及自身,也太累了吧?这实际上违背了养生的初衷。
学者周有光的生活座右铭是“顺其自然”,即不养之养,周老以他106岁尚能写作、出书的事实,验证了他的独特“养生说”。
而他的顺其自然,并非放任自流,是饿了吃却不胡吃海塞,困了睡却非赖着不起。
在适应自身需求中,无意间将“规律”融入“自然”便成了他的生活方式,这才是高智能的养生之道。
02有一个这样的故事:记者去采访一位九十多岁的老寿星,希望得到长寿的秘诀,写出来供大家分享。
老寿星侃侃而谈,说自己不沾烟酒,从不发脾气。
记者如获至宝,赶紧记到了本子上。
正在这时,楼上传来一阵“乒乒乓乓”的打砸声,老寿星急忙往楼上跑,一边跑一边回头说:“哎呀不好了,我爹喝醉了,又发脾气乱摔东西了。
”记者顿时瞠目结舌。
同样是长寿老人,有的人说自己从来不吃肉,有的人说自己只吃肉不吃菜,有的人说自己什么都吃……长寿的秘诀在哪里?老寿星说不清,估计老寿星他爹也说不清。
每个人的身体条件都不一样,进而生活习惯也不尽相同,有时两种人的生活习惯明明相左,但因为不同的人有不同的适应性,他们都可能健康长寿,你非把其中一种说成是长寿秘诀,岂不是瞎子摸象?譬如虚寒体质的人,你还去吃绿豆,不是越吃越糟糕吗?养生是在提倡一种人生态度和生活的理念,是道,不是术,不在具体的一招一式。
高考语文作文素材 时文阅读第一辑 愿主保佑你
从希腊到伊朗,经过的国家越来越不发达,但遇到的人却越来越热情,起初是自己买茶喝,如今是别人请喝茶。
茶是伊朗人生活中不可分割的一部分,喝茶在当地是一种拉近彼此距离的社交活动。
刚到伊朗的第二天,走在马路上,前面突然跳出一个小伙子,截住我的去路。
起初以为他要抢劫,但他只是问我是否需要帮助。
当确信我没有迷路后,他执意要邀请我去喝茶。
而一次在博物馆参观,展品看到一半也被3个工作人员拉到一边,一番简单的自我介绍后,还是少不了那句:“先生,您喝茶么?”伊朗人喜欢喝红茶,而且喝茶时加糖。
但是,糖块不能扔到茶水里,而是要放入口中,就着糖啜茶。
每当我接到喝茶的邀请,自己都不敢相信世上居然有这样好客的民族。
多年来,西方媒体对伊朗的扭曲和妖魔化让人们觉得伊朗人是一个嗜血的蛮族,而实际中遇到的伊朗人却热情好客、彬彬有礼。
伊朗的景色远不及希腊,气候也赶不上宜人的土耳其,但是友善的伊朗人短短几天便让伊朗成为至今旅途中最难忘的国家。
坐在前往加兹温(Qazvin)的长途客车上,我想着几天来在伊朗的经历,脸上露出习惯性的傻笑。
我翻出那本《波斯语300句》,再记几句常用对话。
到一个国家旅行,我会试图学一些当地的语言。
哪怕仅仅学会“你好”“谢谢”和“再见”,再配上微笑,就能拉近人与人之间的距离,也会给旅途带来意想不到的帮助。
和阿拉伯语一样,波斯语中也有一些宗教味很浓的用语。
比如,“再见”是“侯达哈非兹”,字面意思就是“愿主保佑你”。
我会时不时抬头,试图拼读出窗外高速路牌上的波斯语地名。
起初高速路牌上写着“德黑兰300公里,加兹温150公里”,过一会儿牌子上是“德黑兰200公里,加兹温50公里”。
翻了一阵子书,再一抬头,路牌上只有“德黑兰100公里”,而“加兹温”的名字从路牌上消失了。
糟糕,坐过头了!这辆客车终点是德黑兰,路过加兹温,而巴士司机可能把我要去加兹温的事忘了!我跌跌撞撞从后排跑向司机,磕磕巴巴地用波斯语向他解释我要去加兹温,并问他车是不是已经开过了。

11月27日,一位清廷大员穿戴整齐,在英国人赫德的陪同下登上“阿尔法”舰验货。
以赫德为首的一帮“推销员”,除了在清廷验收大员面前摇唇鼓舌极尽赞美之能事外,还搞了一个水兵操练展示,想以此博得验收大员的欢心。
寒风中,清廷验收大员端坐在甲板上,面色沉静,聚精会神地观看英国水兵操练。
突然,“砰”的一声枪响,一颗子弹擦着他的官帽呼啸而过。
验收大员惊得冒出一身冷汗。
随从们闻声拔刀在手,屏护在其身前,大叫:“有刺客!”事后调查得知,原来,在英国水兵操练队伍中有个新兵蛋子,因为过于紧张,致使手中的来复枪意外走火。
晚清历史最后的几十年,有一大半是属于这个验收大员的,他就是赫赫有名的晚清重臣李鸿章。
假若这一枪真的爆掉了他的头,那么,中国近代史上诸如组建北洋舰队这样的一些重大事件也许根本不存在,李鸿章也不会因为签订丧权辱国的系列条约而背负那些本不该由他背负的历史骂名。

像拣到珠宝一样,他高兴极了,小心翼翼地把这几十本书捆扎好,塞进随身携带的大提包里。

雨林横越了包括巴西(占森林60%面积)、哥伦比亚、秘鲁、委内瑞拉、厄瓜多尔、玻利维亚、圭亚那等多个国家,占世界雨林面积的一半,全球森林面积的20%,是全球最大及物种最多的热带雨林,因此,被人们称为“地球之肺”和“绿色心脏”。

Still a livelihood for 1.5bn people, forests maintain local and regional ecosystems and, for the other 6.2bn, provide a—fragile and creaking—barrier against climate change. Now droughts, wildfires and other human-induced changes are compounding the damagefrom chainsaws. In the tropics, which contain half of the world’s forest biomass, tree-cover loss has accelerated by two-thirds since 2015; if it were a country, the shrinkage would make the tropical rainforest the world’s third-biggest carbon-dioxide emitter, after China and America.②Nowhere are the stakes higher than in the Amazon basin—and not just because it contains 40% of Earth’s rainforests and harbours 10-15% of the world’s terrestrial species. South America’s natural wonder may be perilously close to the tipping-point beyond which its gradual transformation into something closer to steppe(没有树的草原)cannot be stopped or reversed, even if people lay downtheir axes. Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, is hastening the process—in the name, he claims, of development. The ecological collapse his policies may precipitate would be felt most acutely within his country’s borders, which encircle 80% of the basin—but would go far beyond them, too. It must be averted.③Humans have been chipping away at the Amazon rainforest since they settled there well over ten millennia ago. Since the 1970s they have done so on an industrial scale. In the past 50 years Brazil has given up17% of the forest’s original extent, more than the area of France, to road- and dam-building, logging, mining, soybean farming and cattle ranching. After a seven-year government effort to slow the destruction, it picked up in 2013 because of weakened enforcement and an amnesty(特赦) for past deforestation. Recession and political crisis further pared back the government’s ability to enforce the rules. Now Mr Bolsonaro has happily taken a buzz saw to them. Although congress and the courts have blocked some of his efforts to rob parts of the Amazon of their protected status, he has made it clear that rule-breakers have nothing to fear, despite the fact that he was elected to restore law and order. Because 70-80% of logging in the Amazon is illegal, the destruction has soared to record levels. Since he took office in January, trees have been disappearing at a rate of over two Manhattans a week.④The Amazon is unusual in that it recycles much of its own water. As the forest decreases, less recycling takes place. At a certain point, that causes more of the forest to wither so that, over a matter of decades, the process feeds on itself. Climate change is bringing the point closer every year as the forest heats up. Mr Bolsonaro is pushing it towards the edge. Pessimists fear that the cycle of runaway degradation may kick in when another 3-8% of the forest vanishes—which, under Mr Bolsonaro, could happen soon. There are hints the pessimists may be correct. In the past 15 years the Amazon has suffered three severe droughts. Fires are on the rise.⑤Brazil’s president dismisses such findings, as he does science more broadly. He accuses outsiders of hypocrisy—did rich countries not fell their own forests?—and, sometimes, of using environmental dogma as an excuse to keep Brazil poor. “The Amazon is ours,” the president thundered recently. What happens in the Brazilian Amazon, he thinks, is Brazil’s business.⑥Except it isn’t. A “dieback” would directly hurt the seven other countries with which Brazil shares the river basin. It would reduce the moisture channeled along the Andes as far south as Buenos Aires. If Brazil were damming a real river, not choking off an aerial one, downstream nations could consider it an act of war. As the vast Amazonian store of carbon burned and rotted, the world could heat up by as much as 0.1°C by 2100—not a lot, you may think, but the preferred target of the Paris climate agreement allows further warming of only 0.5°C or so.⑦Mr Bolsonaro’s other arguments are also flawed. Yes, the rich world has razed its forests. Brazil should not copy its mistakes, but learn from them instead as, say, France has, by reforesting while it still can. Paranoia about Western scheming is just that. The knowledge economy values the geneticinformation sequestered in the forest more highly than land or dead trees. Even if it did not, deforestation is not a necessary price of development. Brazil’s output of soybeans and beef rose between 2004 and 2012, when forest-clearing slowed by 80%. In fact, aside from the Amazon itself, Brazilian agriculture may be deforestation’s biggest victim. The drought of 2015 caused maize farmers in the central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso to lose a third of their harvest.⑧For all these reasons, the world ought to make clear to Mr Bolsonaro that it will not tolerate his vandalism(肆意破坏). Food companies, pressed by consumers, should abandon soybeans and beef produced on illegally logged Amazonian land, as they did in the mid-2000s. Brazil’s trading partners should make deals contingent on its good behavior. The agreement reached in June by the EU and Mercosur, a South American trading bloc of which Brazil is the biggest member, already includes provisions to protect the rainforest. It is overwhelmingly in the parties’ interest to enforce them. So too for China, which is anxious about global warming and needs Brazilian agriculture to feed its livestock. Rich signatories(签约国) of the Paris agreement, who pledged to pay developing ones to plant carbon-consuming trees, ought to do so. Deforestation accounts for 8% of global greenhouse-gas emissions but attracts only 3% of the aid earmarked for combating climate change.⑨If there is a green shoot in Mr Bolsonaro’s scorched-earth tactics towards the rainforest, it is that they have made the Amazon’s plight harder to ignore—and not just for outsiders. Brazil’s agriculture minister urged Mr Bolsonaro to stay in the Paris agreement. Unchecked deforestation could end up hurting Brazilian farmers if it leads to foreign boycotts of Brazilian farm goods. Ordinary Brazilians should press their president to reverse course. They have been blessed with a unique planetary heritage, whose value is life-sustaining as much as it is commercial. Letting it perish would be a needless catastrophe.While-class activities:Activity 1: Structure analysis (matching)Para 1 current situationPara 2-7 what to do nextPara 8-9 the importance of forestsActivity 2: Reading comprehension1.What does ‘hastening’ mean in paragraph 2?A.holding backB. slowing downC. speeding upD. taking off2.What can we infer from paragraphs 3 and 4?A.The congress of Brazil didn’t try its best to stop the president’s plan.B.It is the recession and political crisis that helped the rainforest get better protected.C.The future of the Amazon is likely to be bright if another president is elected.D.The Brazil’s president should largely be to blame for the serious situation of the Amazon.3.

1.改革开放让中国巨轮驶入新天地时间无穷长,但总有特殊的时间节点带给人们前行的力量;未来无穷远,当改革的步伐一步步延伸到远方,一切努力便有了非比寻常的意义。
“改革开放是我们必须始终坚守的正确之路、强国之路、富民之路,坚定不移沿着这条道路走下去,就能创造更加美好的明天。
”站在改革开放40周年的时间节点上,“宣言”文章再出重磅之作《改革开放天地宽》。
揆诸40年来风云变迁,再没有其他任何事情,能如中国的改革开放一样,深刻影响了中国和世界历史进程。
“宣言”文章从人民生活跃进新天地、强国复兴打开新天地、社会主义展现新天地三个维度,对改革开放深刻改变中国、深刻影响世界的重大意义高屋建瓴作出总结,为我们更好地回顾过去、理解当下、擘划未来提供了重要参照。
没有改革开放,就没有中国的今天,也就没有中国的明天。
这是中国上上下下的共识,也是中国过去、现在和未来乘势而上开拓新功的方法论。
中国特色社会主义进入新时代,新的历史方位、新的社会主要矛盾、新的现代化时间表,新征程上,任务需要改革开放来落实,险滩需要改革开放来跨越,愿景需要改革开放来实现。
改革到了一个新的重要关头,推进改革的复杂程度、敏感程度、艰巨程度,一点都不亚于改革开放之初。
然而在中国的改革词典里,坚定不移地深化改革开放,始终是攻坚克难、乘势而上的法宝。
正如“宣言”文章所指出的,改革开放,对于无限接近伟大梦想的当代中国,只有进行时、没有完成时,惟有迎难而上,向荆棘挺进,一览无限风光。
2018年刚刚走过三分之二,如果找一个关键词来归纳中国的时间旅程,“改革”二字再合适不过。
十九届二中、三中全会接踵召开,修改宪法、深化党和国家机构改革等重大决定,翻开新时代政治体制改革的新篇章;全国两会上,国务院机构改革、监察委设立等议程备受瞩目,为改革再出发积淀民意基础;博鳌亚洲论坛凝聚经济全球化共识,致力于深化改革开放、促进互利共赢的中国方案受到与会各方好评……迎着庆祝改革开放40周年的万众期待,一系列改革方案、改革举措公诸于世,显示出改革开放“四十而不惑”的中国态度,释放出“推动全面深化改革在新起点上实现新突破”的强烈信号。
改革勇往直前,开放再进一步,过去几年来改革已经大有作为,新征程上改革还将大展作为。
山不低头,但人能比山高。
改革开放是一场深刻革命,是人的能动性和变革精神的集大成体现。
换个角度说,改革动力在于每个人,改革成果属于每个人。
方今之时,全面深化改革动奶酪、闯难关、蹚险滩、啃硬骨头,数量之多、力度之大、范围之广、触及之深前所未有,掀起势不可挡的改革洪流。
对于每个人而言,支持改革、参与改革、投身改革,努力做矢志前行的“逐梦人”,坚定勇毅的“信仰者”,担当有为的“拓荒牛”,只争朝夕的“实干家”,改革就能汇集最大共识、汇聚最大动力、汇合最大能量。
改革开放天地宽,砥砺奋进正当时。
改革开放走过40年征程,不惑于改革目标和路径,不惑于改革问题和阻力,亦不惑于一切成就和毁誉。
我们未曾辜负改革开放以来的40年,也决不会躺在功劳簿上辜负前所未有的新时代。
“中华民族伟大复兴必将在改革开放的进程中得以实现”,我们每个人都将是历史的见证者。
2.青年向上,时代向前今天的中国青年,更能够在放眼世界中认识自己的使命。
去年年末,人民日报发起“给青年的一封信”活动,在收到的回信中,有学波兰语的学生为“一带一路”倡议而自豪,感叹“大时代下,小语种并不小”;有在巴基斯坦工作的国企电力建设者,喊出“更广阔的世界等待我们去点亮”。
字里行间,有满满自豪感,有磅礴使命感。
这是当代青年人的世界观。
因为有机会了解世界,他们更能平视世界;因为深度参与世界,他们更加懂得中国。
他们的眼界,让中国更加充满信心地走近世界舞台中央。
当然,时代也需要关爱青年,为他们答疑解惑。
上世纪80年代初,“潘晓之问”曾激发社会对青年心态的关注。
今天,为每一个青年搭建好人生出彩的舞台,让青年人在实现中国梦的生动实践中放飞青春梦想,在为人民利益的不懈奋斗中书写人生华章,是紧迫的时代命题。
毕竟,实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦,是集体远航而非孤帆远影,只有当所有中国青年秉持胸中那团火,相信理想的力量,信奉奋斗的意义,国家才能更有力量。
40年前恢复高考后,第一代大学生与改革开放同行,见证了中国从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃,也纷纷写下了各自人生的华章。
当代青年的人生黄金期,同“两个一百年”奋斗目标的实现完全吻合,后人将如何书写今天的奋斗?接好历史的接力棒,是当代青年的机遇,更是沉甸甸的使命。
3.让爱国主义情怀激荡精神力量爱国之情是再朴素不过的情感,强国之志是再基本不过的抱负,报国之行是再自然不过的选择展览馆内,触摸历史脉络、学习传统文化,感知深沉的民族底蕴;开学典礼,升国旗、奏国歌,向伟大祖国庄严致敬;走进军营,踏正步、站军姿,感受保家卫国的激情……近日,爱国主义教育成为开学季一个响亮的主旋律,青春的心跳与爱国的情怀同频共振。
在全国教育大会上,习近平总书记强调,要在厚植爱国主义情怀上下功夫,让爱国主义精神在学生心中牢牢扎根,教育引导学生热爱和拥护中国共产党,立志听党话、跟党走,立志扎根人民、奉献国家。
通过教育在学子们心中播下爱国的种子,就能收获对国家和民族的浓浓之情、拳拳之心,才能培养出合格的社会主义建设者和接班人。
国民,是我们与生俱来的身份。
“祖国”二字,让多少人心中涌动激情,让多少人眼里泛起泪花,让多少人血管奔腾热血。
司马迁说,“常思奋不顾身,而殉国家之急”;孙中山说,做人最大的事情“就是要知道怎么样爱国”……倡导爱国主义、表达爱国热情是一门必修课。
可以说,爱国之情是再朴素不过的情感,强国之志是再基本不过的抱负,报国之行是再自然不过的选择。
中国成其为中国,正在于有千千万万中国人生于斯、长于斯,情感系于斯、认同归于斯。
深沉的爱国主义、浓厚的家国情怀,早已融入民族心,铸就民族魂。
犹记1935年,著名教育家张伯苓在南开大学开学典礼上问了3个问题:你是中国人吗?你爱中国吗?你愿意中国好吗?其言谆谆,其意切切,正在于要振奋起师生的爱国斗志。
这3个问题,是历史之问,更是时代之问、未来之问。
走出流血牺牲、生死考验的语境,走出神州陆沉、存亡绝续的背景,仍然需要我们一代一代这样问下去、答下去,才能为“中国号”巨轮破浪前行提供最深厚的底气、最有力的支撑。
新一代的青年,成长于改革开放的岁月,亲历了中国强起来的伟大跨越,对时代进步有着深切的体会,对国家发展有着强烈的认同。
作为“互联网的原住民”,他们视野开阔、思维活跃、追求个性,不喜欢板起脸的说教,也不接受单向度的灌输,但他们从未拒绝崇高、绝非排斥意义。
2017年,有100多万名大学生应征报名入伍,1994年出生的北大女生宋玺参与亚丁湾护航的事迹,更是赢得无数点赞。
他们让人看到,当代青年有着强烈的爱国热情,也敢于表达、勇于行动。
面对这生机勃勃的一代,更需以共鸣、共情激荡他们的爱国情怀,以对话、沟通引导他们的爱国行动,让他们在与祖国共奋进中,书写下最动人的青春故事。
然而,近年来,虚无历史的态度、诋毁英雄的谣言、矮化精神的观点,种种不良思想、奇谈怪论沉渣泛起,给爱国主义教育带来了一些挑战。
这也警示我们,弘扬爱国主义精神要从少年儿童抓起,要把爱国主义贯穿教育和精神文明建设全过程。
当前,有的爱国主义教育,还是流于形式、显得僵化,存在千篇一律、泛泛而谈的问题,也存在填鸭灌输、互动不足的问题。
爱国主义教育要讲好爱国故事,需在情真意切、引人入胜上下功夫,在提高内容质量、教育实效上花力气,才能引导学生树立正确的历史观、民族观、国家观、文化观,让爱国主义精神在学生心中牢牢扎根。
“世界上有许多美好的地方。
但是,那里有黄山么?有黄河么?有长江么?有长城么……既然这些都没有,那么,祖国就是一个不可替代的地方。
”当年路遥的文字,激发起多少人爱国奋斗的精神。
今天,我们离梦想从未如此之近,壮丽的未来在眼前,奋斗的豪情在心中。
把亿万人民的爱国心、爱国情,激荡成共鸣、汇聚成洪流,就一定能成为磅礴的“中国力量”,推动国家的进步、民族的复兴。
4.守护好中华民族的“根”与“魂”习近平同志指出,“文明特别是思想文化是一个国家、一个民族的灵魂”“优秀传统文化是一个国家、一个民族传承和发展的根本,如果丢掉了,就割断了精神命脉”。
中华优秀传统文化是中华民族的“根”与“魂”。
党的十八大以来,伴随着我国经济社会发展与中华民族伟大复兴进程的推进,人们的文化自信不断增强,但思想文化领域仍存在一些值得警惕的倾向。
例如,一些人一味否定中华传统文化,文化虚无主义还有一定市场;一些人唯洋是举,成为“西方文化优越论”的奴仆。
消除这些忘掉民族根基、丧失文化自信的错误倾向,需要大力传承发展中华优秀传统文化,守护好中华民族的“根”与“魂”。
中华优秀传统文化积淀着中华民族5000年来最深沉的精神追求,包含着中华民族最根本的精神基因,代表着中华民族独特的精神标识,是中华民族生生不息的丰厚滋养,是中华民族的“根”与“魂”。
一方面,中华优秀传统文化是中华民族“根”之所在。
千百年来,中华优秀传统文化既是中华民族大一统和发展壮大的文化基础,也是民族团结的桥梁与纽带,成为中华民族具有强大生命力和凝聚力的根脉。
另一方面,中华优秀传统文化是中华民族“魂”之所系。
比如,中庸、和谐、包容,天人合一、以人为本、以和为贵,这些思想理念贯穿于中华民族发展史,体现着中华民族爱好和平之“魂”、崇尚自然之“魂”、注重和谐之“魂”,演变成一种文化特质传承下来,凝聚成中华民族的灵魂,是我们在世界文化激荡中站稳脚跟的坚实根基。
中华优秀传统文化在发展中也经历过困惑与迷茫。
近代以来,西方资本主义迅速兴起,中华民族面临千年未有之大变局。
面对列强的欺凌,近代中国暴露出生产方式、社会制度和文化观念的落伍。
在西学东渐过程中,欧美国家构建的“西方中心主义”也像病毒一样被植入一些国人的精神世界,中华优秀传统文化遭到了他们的全盘否定。
我们党自成立之日起,就把守护中华优秀传统文化作为重要使命,在带领中国人民不断取得革命、建设和改革辉煌成就的同时,也重建了中国人的文化自信。
当前,伴随着经济全球化深入发展,各种思想文化风云激荡,一些西方国家不遗余力地对我国进行文化渗透。
如果不能传承发展中华优秀传统文化,我们就难以实现文化自强,中华民族伟大复兴就会失去“根”与“魂”。
