读“磨脑子”的书

书有许多种。有的明白晓畅,使人轻松;有的艰深晦涩,让人费解。而真正值得我们阅读的,往往是那些“磨脑子”的书。

与一般的书籍比较起来,“磨脑子”的书具有更加密集的信息量和深刻的思想内涵,往往是前人思想的精华、阅历的浓缩。它不是那种读起来驾轻就熟的书,而是不静下心来深入思考就不能理解的书,是要经常在笔记本上记下大量困惑和疑问的书。读这种书的感受就好像啃骨头,费劲,却别有一番滋味在心头。吃现成的肉当然也好,但终究不如啃骨头来得有劲。

读“磨脑子”的书,能够提高人的理解力和思维水平。生物学告诉我们,人的智力是用进废退的。能否经常给自己出难题,面对困难超越自我,本身就是一个人素质高下的集中表现。燕雀安于暖巢,只有雄鹰才能在风雨中翱翔。常读一览无余的书,会使原本聪慧的头脑退化。

人的愉悦程度大抵与其付出的劳动量和劳动时间成正比。读“磨脑子”的书有点像高强度的体育运动,不花上吃奶的力气就不能达到应有的水平。惟其如此,它所带来的快乐才非同一般,它赐给我们的礼物才格外珍贵。试想,上珠穆朗玛峰的快乐岂是随便踏上哪个土包儿可以比拟的?

俗话说,宁尝鲜桃一口,不吃烂杏一筐。“磨脑子”的书正像鲜桃,而大量克隆的信息垃圾充其量只配叫做“烂杏”。读一本“磨脑子”的书,还是一次与智者的对话。它使人暂别琐碎与平庸、浮躁与虚妄,而变得神清气爽,心灵宁静。对于这样一种难得的体验,聪明人是不该长久疏远的。

真正的读书人都有同感,好书一定要精读。一目十行的读法或许适合一般读物,但对于“磨脑子”的书绝不适宜。真正的好书甚至使我们有意放慢阅读速度,就像一个贪婪的孩子舍不得一口吃完手中的糖果一样。

要真正读一本“磨脑子”的书,还要学会适当地拒绝。________________ 。拒绝,还意味着,既不为某些时髦的写作分心,也不对人为的热点动心,更不为虚假的创造操心。不仅如此,网络的精彩,球赛的热闹,酣睡的香甜,游戏的畅快、电脑的奇妙、影视的缤纷、旅游的轻松、散步的悠闲,都是应该适当拒绝的。否则的话,什么时候“磨脑子”呢?

小题1:文章的中心论点是什么?(2分)

小题2:最后一段画线处需要补充一个事例,下面的例子能否作为论据?请说明理由。(3分)

清朝皇帝康熙读《晋书·车胤传》记载车胤苦读的轶事,深深佩服。后来他叫侍者捉到100只萤火虫(这个数字比车胤的数字多几倍),装进大白练囊里进行照读测试,结果出人意料,效果非常差。他以此事告诫大臣们说:“简册所载,有不可尽信者。”

答案

小题1:我们要读那些“磨脑子”的书或“真正值得我们阅读的,往往是那些 ‘磨脑子’的书”。(2分)

小题1:不能作为本段论据。(1分)因为事例是表现康熙明辨是非,不尽信书(1分),与本段论述的中心“要真正读一本“磨脑子”的书,还要学会适当地拒绝”无关(1分)。

小题1:本题考查学生分析文章中心论点的能力。从标题、开头、结尾“来考虑,本文就是从文章的开头来概括的。

小题1:本题考查学生理解文章内容的能力。材料主要讲的是“不尽信书“,最后一段讲的是“学会拒绝一些书”,所以不能作为论据。

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Most American school have boys and girls in the same classroom. But a public high school in the small, rural town of Boonsboro, Maryland, offers a special program. Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math, science, English and social studies.

The aim is to help teenagers keep their minds on their work by keeping males and females apart. Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy.

Placement in the Academy is voluntary.

Students are invited after middle school. They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations. They also need to be involved in activities.

Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy. His ninth-grade English class for boys centres on books that he believes boys find interesting. He says, “The novels they're reading now are very manly novels. They're novels that deal with the arrogance(傲慢) of man and the pride of man.”

Morgan Van Fleet is a senior at Boonsboro High. She likes being in the Academy. She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in the classroom. She says, “To me, it almost seems like preventing your chances of developing yourself because you’re more focused on ‘Oh, I wish they'd shut up. Oh, what do they think of me?’, instead of focusing on ‘What's the homework? What's going on in this class? Or what's the lesson?''' There is one activity that girls and boys in the Academy do together. At the end of the day, many of them stay and help tutor(辅导) students who are having trouble in school.
