大学语文,考试真题。

四、简析题(本大题共5小题,每小题6分,共30分)36.阅读《容忍与自由》中的一段文字,回答问题:我曾说过,我应该用容忍的态度来报答社会对我的容忍。

现在常常想,我们还得戒律自己:我们若想别人容忍谅解我们的见解,我们必须先养成能够容忍谅解别人的见解的度量。

至少至少我们应该戒约自己决不可“以吾辈所主张者为绝对之是”。

我们受过实验主义的训练的人,本来就不承认有“绝对之是”,更不可以“以吾辈所主张者为绝对之是”。

A.这段文字是针对文章中哪一个事例所生发的议论?强调“以吾辈所主张者为绝对之是”的是谁?针对陈独秀提倡白话文的事例。

陈独秀;B.“绝对之是”是什么意思?“不允许反对者有讨论之余地”不能够容忍别人的不同意见。

自己的意见绝对正确。

C.这段文字的论点是什么?该论点对文章中心论点的论述有什么作用?论点:不承认有“绝对之是”。

宇宙无限,人的认识有限。

是总论点“没有容忍,就没有自由”的三个分论点之一。

37.阅读《哭小弟》中的一段文字,回答问题:我哭小弟,哭他在剧痛中还拿着那本航空资料“想再看看”,哭他的“胃下垂”、“肾游走”;我也哭蒋筑英抱病奔波,客殇成都;我也哭罗健夫不肯一个人坐一辆汽车!我还要哭那些没有见诸报章的过早离去的我的同辈人。

他们几经雪欺霜冻,好不容易奋斗着张开几片花瓣,尚未盛开,就骤然凋谢。

我哭我们这迟开而早谢的一代人!已经是迟开了,让这些迟开的花朵尽可能延长他们的光彩吧。

A.举例说明文中使用了何种修辞手法。

比喻,排比;B.文中的“雪欺霜冻”和“骤然凋谢”的寓意是什么?政治运动对知识分子的迫害;英年早逝;C.文中揭示主旨的是哪一句话?让这些迟开的花朵尽可能延长他们的光彩吧38.阅读《我与地坛》中的一段文字,回答问题:剩下的就是怎样活的问题了。

这却不是在某一个瞬间就能完全想透的,不是能.够一次性解决的事,怕是活多久就要想它多久了,就像是伴你终生的魔鬼或恋人。
