艺术品的接受在过去并不被看作是重要的美学问题，20世纪解释学兴起，一个名为“接受美学”的美学分支应运而生，于是研究艺术品的接受成为艺术美学中的显学。
过去，通常只是从艺术品的立场出发，将创作看作艺术家审美经验的结晶过程，作品完成就意味着创作完成。
而从接受美学的角度来看，这一完成并不说明创作已经终结，它只说明创作的第一阶段告一段落，接下来是读者或观众、听众的再创作。
由于未被阅读的作品的价值包括审美价值仅仅是一种可能的存在，只有通过阅读，它才转化为现实的存在，因此对作品的接受具有艺术本体的意义，也就是说，接受者也是艺术创作的主体之一.艺术文本即作品对于接受者来说具有什么意义呢？接受美学的创始人、德国的伊瑟尔说艺术文本是一个“召唤结构”，因为文本有“空白”“空缺”“否定”三个要素。
所谓“空白”是说它有一些东西没有表达出来，作者有意不写或不明写，要接受者用自己的生活经验与想象去补充；所谓“空缺”，是语言结构造成的各个图像间的空白，接受者在阅读文本时要把一个个句子表现的图像片断连接起来，整合成一个有机的图像系统；所谓“否定”指文本对接受者生活的现实具有否定的功能，它能引导接受者对现实进行反思和批判。
由此可见，文本的召唤性需要接受者呼应和配合，完成艺术品的第二次创作。
正如中国古典美学中的含蓄与简洁，其有限的文字常常引发出读者脑海中的丰富意象.接受者作为主体，他对文本的接受不是被动的。

过去，通常只是从艺术家的立场出发，将创作看作艺术家审美经驗的结晶过程．作品完成就意味着创作完成．而从接受美学的角度来看，这一完成并不说明创作已经终结．它只说明创作的第一阶段告一段落,接下来是读者或现众、听众的再创作．由于未被阅读的作品的价值包括审美价值仅仅是一种可能的存在，只有通过阅读，它才转化为现实的存在，因此对作品的接受具有艺术本体的意义．也就是说，接受者也是艺术劍作的主体之一、艺术文本即作品对于接受者来说具有什么意义呢?接受美学的创始人．德国的伊瑟尔说艺术文本是一个“召唤结构",因为文本有“空白，“空缺”“否定"三个要素．所谓“空白"是说它有一些东西没有表达出来，作者有意不写或不明写，要接受者用自己的生活经验与想象去补充；所谓“空缺",是语言结构造成的各个图像间的空白．接受者在阅读文本时要把一个个句子表现的图像片断连接起来．整合成一个有机的田像系统；所谓“否定’指文本对接受者生活的现实具有否定的功能，它能引导接受者对现实进行反思和批判,由此可见，文本的召唤性需要接受者呼应和配合，完成艺术品的第二次创作，正如中国古典美学中的含蓄与简洁，其有限的文字常常引发出读者脑海中的丰富意象．接受者作为主体，他对文本的接受不是被动的,海德格尔提出“前理解”，即理解前的心理文化结构,这种结构影响着理解．理解不可能是文本意义的重现，而只能是文本与前理解"的统一、这样，文本与接受訧呈现出一种相互作用的关系:一方面文本在相当度上规定了接受者理解的范围、方向,让理解朝它的本义靠拢;另一方面,文本不可能将接受者完全制约住．规范住，接受者必然会按照自己的方式去理解作品,于是不可避免地就会出现误读或创造．从某种意义上说，理解就是误读,创造也是误读，不要希望所有的接受者都持同样的理解．也不要希望所有的理解都与艺术家的本旨一致．那样并不意味着艺术作品的成功.文本一经产生就成为历史，它所表达的思想感情、所反映的生活,都只能是过去的，而理解总是现在进行时．当我们接受历史上的艺术作品时,我们当然可以设身处地想象古人的生活，体验古人的思想感情，但我们毕竞是现代人,只能按照我们现在的心理文化结构去理解古人．当然，任何理解都只能是个体的理解，但个体毕竞是与群体相通的，所以个体的理解中也有普遍性．理解作为现实的行为具有通向实践的品格．艺术品正是通过理解走向现实，并在生活中发挥作用的．不是别的,正是理解擦亮了艺术品的生命之光.（摘编自陈望衡《艺术是什么》) 1．下列关于原文内容的表述,不正确的一项是A．在过去，艺术品的接受并不属于美学的研究范围，而当接受美学诞生以后，关于艺术品的接受的研究就成为艺术美学中的一门显学.B．在接受美学诞生以前,人们一股的认识是：整个创作过程就是艺术家的审美经验不断结晶的过程，艺术品一旦形成,创作也就大功告成.C．接受美学认为，艺术品在艺术家手中产生出来,这只是艺术创作的第一阶段，读者、观众、听众对艺术品的接受是艺术创作的继续。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2015高考英语（四月）完形填空、阅读理解小练（2）答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.As one ages，the hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.【语篇解读】压力会导致头发变白吗？许多人相信情况是这样的。

2015年考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案(阅读理解)
2015年考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案（阅读理解）Section Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A， B， C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol ， which is it at stress marker， while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom， we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home，” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske， In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work，” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without， but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home， whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men， the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home，they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home， they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles， and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women， it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work， people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing： working， making money， doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure： Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front， however， people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done， there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor； they need to be talked into it， or if they' re teenagers， threatened with complete removal of 新祥旭官网/all electronic devices. Plus， they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite， the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home ______.[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske， who are likely to be the happiest at home？[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that ______.[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word“moola”（Line 4，Para 4）most probably means ______.[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that ______.[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating新祥旭官网/[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded【参考答案】21.

Bu t though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and th e journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o’clock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when w e entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, an d introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protectin g care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fif teen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and gr eater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with th em."Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keepin g down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitte d into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck m e that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, an d left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and le d me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; andwhile I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I th ought) and trying to keep something like a conversation— consi sting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but fro m the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my ha nds.“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especi ally the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock— a genero us, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for al ways speaking the truth.”“His sister Mary Ann will require watc hing,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, t hough I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as pos sible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washin g and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to ha ve nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the chil dren entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, som ewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remainin g one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scar cely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest — but with her I had nothing to do.67. Which of the following statements best describes how the w riter felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfield's home?A. She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confi dent.B. She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.C. She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decisio n.D. She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.68. What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfield's home?A. A nursery maid.B. A house cleaner.C. A home cook.D. A family teacher.69. Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage ?A. The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the t ough food and the cold.B. The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs. Bloomfield’s words.C. All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.D. All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomf ield herself.70. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lotB. the youngest girl Harriet would be the writer’s favorite studen tC. the writer would take on more responsibilities than she shoul dD. Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children 【参考答案】2.67-70 ADAC【福建省漳州市2014高考英语第三次联考试题】BBecause of the financial crisis in the US and , college students are beginning to struggle to find ways to pay their tuition fees a nd accommodations.Recently, two major US student loan lenders—Citibank and JPMorgan Chase—announced they were leaving the student loan industry altogeth er. Because banks currently have a lack of credit(存款额), they are reluctant to offer students lowinterest loans(贷款) that need a severalyear wait for any return of interest.In the US, many undergraduates top up their financial needs wit h a private loan, although the majority can get governmentfund ed loans. In the 20052006 academic year, $17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education. The shortf all in private funding has yet to be covered and will hit many st udents hard.Across the Atlantic, students have been less troubled by the cri sis. Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expen ses with governmentfunded loans and grants(助学金). Their biggest concern is a sudden steep increase in studen t rent.Most young professionals now rent houses, since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes(住房抵押贷款计划) have disappeared—a direct result of the credit crisis. This has boosted the house re nt market.In large cities, students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in r ent than the previous year. Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as p aying an average weekly rent of $103.Yet, despite students' suffering, the number of this year’s univer sity applications is expected to grow. During economic slumps, people regard further education as a way to survive tough job m arkets.60. According to the passage, banks are unwilling to offer stude nts loans because ________.A. the students are poor and sometimes they can’t pay off the debtB. banks prefer lending the money to the young professionalsC. banks don’t have enough money left at the present timeD. they think college students are not studying hard61. The underlined phrase “top up” in Paragraph 3 probably me ans ________.A. put upB. make upC. fill upD. pick up62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?A. college students have to pay more if they want to rent hou ses.B. More UK students want to further their study in college.C. It is not so easy for US students to loan money now.D. College students' tuition fees have risen greatly.63. It can be inferred that ________.A. there are no private student loan lenders in theB. loans for US college students will be increased next yearC. private funding falls a little because of higherinterest loans in theD. private loans play a very important role in financing US stu dents’ education64. The passage mainly tells us ________.A. college students in the US and are faced with their financi al crisisB. it is the duty of the governments to solve college students' f inancial crisisC. private student loan is a good way for college students to o vercome the difficultiesD. further education is a good way for college students to surv ive tough job markets【参考答案】60—64、CCDDA较难题目特训：人物故事类Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the Univer sity of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won th e 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category forher most recent book, “Versed”."I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Crit ics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout."For a long time, my writing has been just below the media rada r, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th boo k, is really surprising.”Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degre e at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Le vertov, and her master’s in creative writing from .

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22.

Rivers may be a significant source of the greenhouse gas nitrou s oxide (一氧化二氮), scientists now find.Their calculation suggests that across the globe the waterways contribute three times the amount of nitrous oxide to the atmos phere as had been estimated by the International Panel on Clim ate Change (IPCC), the United Nations scientific body charged with reviewing climate change research. They found that the a mount of nitrous oxide produced in streams is related to human activities that release nitrogen (氮) into the environment, such a s fertilizer use and sewage discharges.“Human activities, including fossil fuel combustion and intensive agriculture, have increased the availability of nitrogen in the en vironment,” said Jake Beaulieu of the University of Notre Dame and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in , , and lead a uthor of the paper published this week in the journal Proceeding s of the National Academy of Sciences.“Much of this nitrogen is transported into river and stream netw orks,” Beaulieu said. There, microbes (微生物) convert the nitrogen into nitrous oxide (also called laughing gas) and an inert gas called dinitrogen (二氮).The finding is important, the researchers say, because nitrous o xide is a powerful greenhousegas that contributes to climate change and destruction of the str atosphere’s ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s harm ful ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation. Compared with carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide is 30 0-fold more powerful in terms of its warming potential, though car bon dioxide isa far more common greenhouse gas. Scientists estimate nitrou s oxide accounts for about 6 percent of human-induced climate change.Beaulieu and colleagues measured nitrous oxide production rat es in 72 streams. When summed across the globe, the results s howed rivers and streams are the source of at least 10 percent of human-caused nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. “Changes in agricultural and land-use practices that result in less nitrogen being delivered to streams would reduce nitrous oxide emissions from river networks,” Beaulieu said.1.

Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work. Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge. “Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well asmen have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, shenotes, “It is men, not women, who report being happier at ho me than at work.” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health. What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it’s not surprising that women are mor e stressed at home. But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues- your family- have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electroni c devices. Plus, they’re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home. So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co- workers are much harder to motivate. 21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home_______ was an unrealistic place for relaxation generated more stress than the workplace was an ideal place for stress measurement offered greater relaxation than the workplace 22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home? Working mothers Childless husbands Childless wives Working fathers 23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact thay_______ they are both bread winners and housewives their home is also a place for kicking back there is often much housework left behind it is difficult for them to leave their office 24. The word “moola” most probablymeans_______ energy skills earnings nutrition 25. The home frontdiffers from the workplace in that_______ home is hardly a cozier working environment division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut household tasks are generally more motivating family labor is often adequately rewarded Text2 For years, studies have found thatfirst-generation college students- those who do not have a parent with a college degree- lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting firstgeneration students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close” ab achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science. But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach can close 63 percent of the achievement gap between first-generation and other students. The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degree. Their thesis- that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact- was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap. Many first- generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the ‘rules of the game,’ and take advantage of college resou rces,” they write. And this becomes more of a problem when collages don’t talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students ’educational experience, many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students’ like them can improve. 26. Recruiting more first- generation studentshas_______ reduced their dropout rates narrowed the achievement gao missed its original purpose depressed college students 27. The author of the research article are optimistic because_______ the problem is solvable their approach is costless the recruiting rate has increased their finding appeal to students 28. The study suggests that most first- generation students______ study at private universities are from single-parent families are in need of financial support have failed their collage 29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students_______ are actually indifferent to the achievement gap can have a potential influence on other students may lack opportunities to apply for research projects are inexperienced in handling their issues at college 30. We may infer from the last paragraph that_______ universities often rejectthe culture of the middle-class students are usually to blame for their lack of resources social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question Text3 Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,” said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion.” Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very “team”-oriented—and not by coincidence. “Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they wan t to win.” These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. “You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations andrel igious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,” said Khurana. This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The “mommy wars” of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your “passion,” you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed. But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.” In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are. 31. According to Nancy Koehn,office language has become_____ more emotional more objective less energetic less strategic 32. “team”-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to_______ historical incidents gender difference sports culture athletic executives 33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to______ revive historical terms promote company image foster corporate cooperation strengthen employee loyalty 34.It can be inferred that Lean In________ voices for working women appeals to passionate workaholics triggers dcbates among mommies praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak? Managers admire it but avoid it Linguists believe it to be nonsense Companies find it to be fundamental Regular people mock it but accept it Text 4 Many people talked of the 288,000 newjobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace. However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000 above its year ago level. Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000 from its year ago level. We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours i n the reference week. If the answer is “yes,” they are classified as working part-time. They survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week. The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions of family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance. However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance. 36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected? A. The prospect of a thriving job market. B. The increase of voluntary part-time jobs. C. The possibility of full employment. D. The acceleration of job creation. 37. Many people work part-time because they A. prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs B. feel that is enough to make ends meet C. cannot get their hands on full-time jobs D. haven’t seen the weaknes s of the market 38. Involuntary part-time employment in the US A. is harder to acquire than one year ago B. shows a general tendency of decline C. satisfies the real need of the jobless D. is lower than before the recession 39. It can be learned that with Obamacare, __________. A. it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insurance B. employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance C. it is still challenging to get insurance for family members D. full-time employment is still essential for insurance. 40. The text mainly discusses____________. A. employment in the US B. part-timer classification C. insurance through Medicaid D. Obamacare’s trouble。

Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn‟t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitam in C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers‟ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I‟ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they‟re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncerta inty, on one particular table at the Brown‟s Grove Farm‟s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn‟t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown‟s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I‟d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author‟s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer‟s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist‟s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali‟s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the caféLa Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psycholog ist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say …one feels,‟ or …people think‟,”Lehanne told them. “Say …I think,‟ …Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn‟t s eem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.

江苏省徐州市2015英语阅读理解训练（2）及答案（高考一轮）AChinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.MianziThe idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.GuanxiThroughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.KeqiKeqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothingof embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.1. In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.A. relationships between peopleB. influences upon othersC. dependence on othersD. kindness to others2. The underlined word “demean” in the first paragraph means make people _____.A. respectfulB. happyC. shamefulD. weak3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person.B.It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner.C. It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered.D. It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people.4. Which of the following proverbs has the same meaning as the underlined sentence “Do in Rome as Rome does.”?A. Caution is the parent of safety.B. Many hands make light work.C. There’s no smoke without fire.D. If you are elsewhere, live as they do there.【参考答案】1—4、ACBD阅读理解---------C.Affordable Boutique Hotels in New York CityBy STEPHEN HEYMAN June 20, 2010A new breed of hotels is trying to stand out from the masses with designer details, memorable allowances and prices around $250 a night.Welcome to Boutique Hotel.To Get Those Summer Tickets in New York, StrategizeBy FELICIA R.

2015届成都市武侯区高考英语一轮复习阅读理解训练(2)及答案
成都市武侯区2015阅读理解一轮训练（2）及答案阅读理解Grasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them. Moving animals from one area of pasture (牧场) to another can provide the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing .(循环放牧)Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals, and it can save money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide (农药) treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting animal wastes do the job of natural fertilizer. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively (集中地) in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting. Animals eat the most desirable growth first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, less desirable plants may replace them. Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.While rotational grazing can save money over time, it also requires planning. And that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time. Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose (圈起) grazing areas, called paddocks. The paddocks will need water. Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place.Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less that five centimeters. The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.Sheep and goats may require special preparations. They may need stronger fences than other animals. And while they eat the grass, they may need guard animals to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.67. Grasslands won't depend on chemical fertilizers when __________________.A. the soil of grasslands is naturally richB. animal wastes serve as natural fertilizerC. rotational grazing can prevent wildfiresD. grasslands are usually in good condition68. The function of putting up electric fences is to _____________.A. divide the pasture into paddocksB. encourage animals to get aroundC. stop animals staying at one placeD. provide water supplies for animals69. Why do sheep and goats need guard animals?A. They can easily jump over fences.B. They don't like to stay in the paddockC. wild animals are likely to attack themD. Tigers and lions prefer sheep and goats70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Giving grasslands a restB. How to feed animalsC. Keeping animals moving in pasturesD. Grass growth and grazing ways【答案】阅读理解：(D) BACA阅读理解。

Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has an average over four cups a day, or someone thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.第二部分阅读理解第一节21.【答案】C【解析】根据“…newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”可知，作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感觉自己上当受骗上当了。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.( )1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.C. He could have bought it at a lower price. B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.( )2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programs C. changed to commercialsB. provided fewer channels D. showed all-night movies( )3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.C. By switching channels. B. By turning it on and off.D. By having it repaired.( )4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places---and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make f ood appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.( )5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about __________.A. their home comforts C. house buyingB. their body shape D. healthy diets( )6. A home environment in blue can help people __________.A. digest food better C. burn more caloriesB. reduce food intake D. regain their appetites( )7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.C. Use smaller spoons. B. Play fast music.D. Turn down the lights.( )8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?C. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessB. Ways of Serving DinnerD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? CMore student than ever before are taking a gap-year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the startof the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS sa id that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship---young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.( )9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length. C. It is increasingly popular.B. It is a time for relaxation. D. It is required by universities.( )10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year __________.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities( )11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He’s puzzled.B. He’s worried.C. He’s surprised.D. He’s annoyed. ( )12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.C. Earn money for their education.B. Make plans for the new term.D. Prepare for their graduate studies. DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A---Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge---£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

马兰花李德霞大清早,马兰花从蔬菜批发市场接了满满一车菜回来,车子还没扎稳,邻摊卖水果的三孬就凑过来说:“兰花姐,卖咸菜的麻婶出事了。
”马兰花一惊:“出啥事啦?”三孬说:“前天晚上,麻婶收摊回家后,突发脑溢血,幸亏被邻居发现,送到医院里,听说现在还在抢救呢。
”马兰花想起来了,难怪昨天就没看见麻婶摆摊卖咸菜。
三孬又说:“前天上午麻婶接咸菜钱不够,不是借了你六百块钱吗?听说麻婶的女儿从上海赶过来了,你最好还是抽空跟她说说去。
”整整一个上午,马兰花都提不起精神来,不时地瞅着菜摊旁边的那块空地发呆。
以前,麻婶就在那里摆摊卖咸菜,不忙的时候,就和马兰花说说话,聊聊天。
有时买菜的人多,马兰花忙不过来,不用招呼,麻婶就会主动过来帮个忙……中午,跑出租车的男人进了菜摊。
马兰花就把麻婶的事跟她男人说了。
男人说:“我开车陪你去趟医院吧。
一来看看麻婶,二来把麻婶借钱的事跟她女儿说说,免得日后有麻烦。
”马兰花就从三孬的水果摊上买了一大兜水果,坐着男人的车去了医院。
麻婶已转入重症监护室,还没有脱离生命危险。
门口的长椅上,麻婶的女儿哭得眼泪一把,鼻涕一把。
马兰花安慰了一番,放下水果就出了医院。
男人撵上来,不满地对马兰花说:“我碰你好几次,你咋不提麻婶借钱的事?”马兰花说:“你也不看看,那是提钱的时候吗?”男人急了:“你现在不提,万一麻婶救不过来,你找谁要去?”马兰花火了:“你咋尽往坏处想啊?你就肯定麻婶救不过来?你就肯定人家会赖咱那六百块钱?啥人啊?”男人铁青了脸,怒气冲冲地上了车。
一路上,男人把车开得飞快。
第三天,有消息传来,麻婶没能救过来,昨天她女儿火化了麻婶,带着骨灰连夜飞回了上海。
男人知道后,特意赶过来,冲着马兰花吼:“钱呢?麻婶的女儿还你了吗?老子就没见过你这么傻的女人!”男人离开时,一脚踢翻一只菜篓子,红艳艳的西红柿滚了一地。
马兰花的眼泪在眼眶里打转转。
从此,男人耿耿于怀,有事没事就把六百块钱的事挂在嘴边。
马兰花只当没听见。
一天,正吃着饭,男人又拿六百块钱说事了。
男人说:“咱都进城好几年了,住的房子还是租来的。
你倒好,拿六百块钱打了水漂儿。
”马兰花终于憋不住了,眼里含着泪说:“你有完没完?不就六百块钱吗?是个命!就当麻婶是我干妈,我孝敬了干妈,成了吧?”男人一撂碗,拂袖而去,把屋门摔得山响。
日子水一样流淌。
转眼,一个月过去。
这天,马兰花卖完菜回到家。
一进门,就看见男人系着围裙,做了香喷喷的一桌饭菜。
马兰花呆了,诧异地说:“日头从西边出来啦?”上小学二年级的女儿嘴快,说:“妈妈,是有位阿姨给你寄来了钱和信,爸爸高兴,说是要犒劳你的。
”马兰花看着男人说:“到底咋回事?”男人挠挠头,嘿嘿一笑:“是麻婶的女儿从上海寄来的。
”“信里都说了些啥?”男人从抽屉里取出一张汇款单和一封信,说:“你自己看嘛。
”马兰花接过信,就着灯光看起来。
信中写道:“兰花姐,实在是对不起了。
母亲去世后,我没来得及整理她的东西,就大包小包地运回上海了。
前几天清理母亲的遗物时,我意外地发现了一个小本本,上面记着她借你六百块钱的事,还有借钱的日期。
根据时间推断,我敢肯定,母亲没有还这笔钱。
本来母亲在医院时,你还送了一兜水果过来,可你就是没提母亲借钱的事。
还好我曾经和母亲到你家串过门,记着地址。
不然麻烦可就大了。
汇去一千元,多出来的四百块算是对大姐的一点心意吧。
还有一事,我听母亲说过,大姐一家住的那房子还是租来的,母亲走了,房子我用不上,一时半会儿也卖不了,大姐如果不嫌弃,就搬过去住吧,就当帮我看房子了,钥匙我随后寄去。
”马兰花读着信,读出满眼的泪水……1.下列对这篇小说思想内容与艺术特色的分析和鉴赏,最恰当的两项是(5分)( ) A.马兰花刚从市场接菜回来,三孬就急忙告诉她麻婶生病住院的事,还鼓动她到医院向麻婶女儿要钱,说明三孬好嚼舌,是个搬弄是非的人。
B.马兰花的丈夫因为六百元钱就耿耿于怀,收到一千元的汇款单后又主动为妻子做饭,这些细节惟妙惟肖地写出了这个人物的世故圆滑、反复无常。
C.小说以麻婶女儿来信作为结局,既在意料之外,又在情理之中,不仅呼应了故事留下的悬念,还巧妙地造成了情节的逆转,颇具艺术匠心。
D.小说注重于细微处写人,从上海来信中可以看出,麻婶的女儿是一个通情达理的人,又是一个精明的人,她内心深处很不愿意欠别人的情。
E.发生在马兰花与麻婶两家之间的故事温馨动人,其中也蕴含着作者对当下社会伦理道德和人际关系的忧虑与反思,这是小说的深刻之处。
【解析】选EC。
本题考查对文章内容和表现手法的赏析能力。
本题为多项选择题。
其中A、B、C、D四个选项是对小说相关内容的理解分析,E项是对全文内容的总结和概括。
E项符合小说写作意图,小说重在忧虑与反思,所以是第一正确项,给3分。
C项虽然符合材料意思,但是“呼应了故事留下的悬念”与原文意思的表达稍有出入,所以是第三正确项,给2分。
D项“又是一个精明的人”不太恰当,所以得1分。
A项“三孬好嚼舌,是个搬弄是非的人”与原文不符。
B项“人物的世故圆滑、反复无常”不符合材料的意思。
A、B两项为错误选项,所以均不给分。
2.小说有明暗两条线索,分别是什么?这样处理有什么好处?请简要分析。
(6分)答:【解析】本题考查分析小说结构的能力。
本题涉及小说的全篇。
我们可以从小说结构方面来具体分析,首先,贯串全篇的是马兰花一家面对借款的表现,所以马兰花一家面对借款不同态度的冲突应是表面的线索,即明线。
其次,小说中一直没正面出场的人物麻婶母女,也是值得歌颂的人物形象,她们的还款过程则构成了小说的暗线。
明暗双线的作用要分三个方面回答,分别是人物塑造、情节设置、主题表达。
答案:第一问:明线是马兰花一家为借款而引发的冲突,暗线是麻婶母女的还款过程。
第二问:①设置麻婶母女还款这一暗线,虽然着墨不多,但仍可展现她们的品质,丰富小说的主题;②明暗线索交织,使小说情节更为集中紧凑,突出了主人公的形象。
【评分标准】第一问2分;第二问4分,每点2分。
3.小说在刻画马兰花这个形象时,突出了她的哪些性格特征?请简要分析。
(6分)答:【解析】本题考查理解小说人物形象的能力。
本题考查考生是否能够由表及里,从人物的外部形象深入到人物的精神世界,看到作者塑造人物形象的艺术和对人性的理解。
根据小说场景的转换和叙事情节结构的发展变化,这篇小说主要安排了几个情节来表现马兰花这个人物形象的特点。
首先是在听到麻婶住院的消息后表现出着急,可见其心地善良,富有同情心。
接着写男人催马兰花要钱的情节表现出马兰花重情重义。
再有一个情节就是面对男人对她的责备,她选择了宽容与忍让。
答案:①朴实善良。
听说麻婶的不幸后,不时发呆,并及时到医院探视。
②善解人意。
见麻婶女儿伤心,便不再提借钱的事,丈夫对她不满,她尽量忍让。
③做人有原则。
尽管挣钱不易,但不为钱伤害情义;丈夫言行过分,她会据理力争。
【评分标准】每答出一点给2分。
4.小说三次写马兰花流泪,每次流泪的表现都不同,心情也不一样。
请结合小说内容进行具体分析,并说明这样写有什么效果。
(8分)答:【解析】本题主要考查考生宏观把握整个作品结构及思想主旨的能力,看学生能否理解细节描写与人物形象之间的关系,并从中分析小说的中心和作者的感情。
细节描写能把人物或事物最本质的性状鲜明而又逼真地呈现在读者面前,从而增强作品的真实感和艺术感染力。
具体来说,主要有以下三个方面的作用:突出人物的性格,展示故事情节,升华小说的主旨。
第一次,“马兰花的眼泪在眼眶里打转转”,此段前马兰花的男人指责马兰花不在医院向麻婶要钱,结果无处要钱,马兰花感觉受了委屈。
第二次,马兰花“眼里含着泪”,此段前男人一直斤斤计较那六百块钱,不明人情事理,马兰花流泪表达着不满。
第三次,“马兰花读着信,读出满眼的泪水”,此段前写到了麻婶女儿还钱的来龙去脉,饱含了马兰花的复杂情感,有对麻婶去世的惋惜,对麻婶女儿知恩图报的感动,有对丈夫不再抱怨的释然。
三次描写层层递进,丰富了人物形象,凸显了小说主题。
答案:①第一次是“眼泪在眼眶里打转转”,强忍泪水的背后,是受到丈夫指责后的委屈与隐忍;②第二次是“眼里含着泪”,含着泪水的背后,是对丈夫不明人情事理、斤斤计较的气愤与不满;③最后一次是“满眼的泪水”,满眼泪水的背后,是对麻婶去世的惋惜,对麻婶女儿知恩图报的感激,以及对丈夫终于不再唠叨埋怨的释然。
说明效果:三次描写,层层递进,丰富了马兰花的人物形象,凸显了小说“人间自有真情在”的主题。
【评分标准】具体分析6分,每答出一点给2分;说明效果2分。
说不尽的萤火虫中国有着悠久的萤火虫文化。
早在先秦时期的《诗经》中,萤火虫就成为先民的关注对象,诗中“町畽鹿场,熠耀宵行”就是描述萤火虫的。
古代诗人常借萤火虫抒情达意,唐代杜牧的“银烛秋光冷画屏,轻罗小扇扑流萤”,便是千古绝唱。
“囊萤夜读”的故事家喻户晓,也曾激励过无数学子发奋努力。
现代人是不再需要“囊萤”来夜读了。
到20世纪40年代,科学家受萤火虫发光器的启发,发明出荧光灯。
萤火虫发出的荧光是一种生物光,它不同于其它的光会伴生热量的损耗,是目前已知唯一几乎没有热损耗的光源,因此也叫“冷光源”。
荧光灯的发明大大提高了能源使用率,但与萤火虫的发光率相比还差得太远。
最近,研究人员在研究萤火虫发光器时,还意外发现了一种锯齿状排列的鳞片,它可以提高发光器的亮度。
科学家将其应用在二极管(LED)的设计中,制作出模仿萤火虫发光器天然结构的LED覆盖层,可使其效率提高50%以上。
这种新颖设计可能会在几年内应用在LED生产中。
萤火虫特有的虫荧光素酶基因,在基因工程中也越来越多地作为遗传标记的首选来检测基因表达。
人们不但利用萤火虫的基因检测癌细胞,还利用基因转移技术把萤火虫的基因转移到玉米中,较快地培育出新的具有抗病虫害的玉米新品系。
萤火虫还是血吸虫病的防疫助手,水生萤火虫的幼虫吃包括钉螺在内的螺类,而钉螺正是血吸虫的唯一宿主。
萤火虫体内的腺甙磷酸,可作为一种优异的检测剂来检测水的污染程度。
萤火虫喜欢植被茂盛、水质干净、空气清新的环境,凡是萤火虫种群分布的地区,都是生态环境保护得比较好的地方。
遗憾的是,如今,萤火虫在部分地区已越来越少见。
除了自然天敌外,人类成了萤火虫最大的“天敌”。
美国一些医药公司为了获取萤火虫体内特有的虫荧光素和虫荧光素酶,出价购买萤火虫,导致人们大肆捕捉萤火虫。
在日本,上世纪60年代的工业污染和城市扩张,致使萤火虫幼虫的生存率直线下降。
萤火虫求偶时,雌雄之间会发出特异的闪光信号以吸引异性并交尾。
然而城市的亮光干扰了它们的闪光交流,当萤火虫感知到外界灯光时,就会停止发光、飞行、求偶,最终导致种群减少甚至灭绝。
去年夏季一些城市刮起萤火虫展览热,千里迢迢从外省引入萤火虫,然后在公园放飞。
但萤火虫的很多种类年复一年地在同一个栖息地聚集、交配,即使栖息地遭到破坏,也不会迁往别处。
