解析:

[听力原文]1-20 British people arc far more sophisticated about beverages than they were 50 years ago. Witness the Starbucks revolution, and you’ll know where the trend (1) goes. However, spurred on by recent studies suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease (2) and retard the aging process, tea is enjoying a similar and a reviving jolt (3). Although tea is available in more places than ever, it remains to be a long tradition (4) of a typical British family. If you are invited to an English home, at five o’clock (5) in the morning you get a cup of tea. It is either brought in by a heartily smiling hostess (6) or an almost malevolently silent maid. When you are disturbed (7) in your sweetest morning sleep, you must not say: "Go away! You deserve to be shot (8)." On the contrary, you have to declare with your best 5 o’clock smile, "Thank you very much. I do adore (9) a cup of tea, especially in the morning." If they leave you alone with the liquid you may pour it down the wash basin (10)! Then, you have tea for breakfast (11); then you have tea at 11 o’clock in the morning; then after lunch (12); then you have tea for tea; then after supper; and again at 11 o’clock at night (13). You must not refuse any additional cups of tea under the following circumstances (14): if it is hot; if it is cold; if you are exhausted (15); if you are nervous; if you are watching TV; before yon go out (16); if you have just returned home; if you feel like it; if you do not feel like it; if you have had no tea for some time (17); if you have just had a cup. You definitely must not follow my example (18). I sleep at 5 o’clock in the morning; I have coffee for breakfast; I drink innumerable cups of black coffee (19) during the day; I have the most unusual drinks (20) even at tea-time!

古诗词鉴赏(共4分,每小题2)

题破山寺后禅院

常建

清晨入古寺,初日照高林。

   曲径通幽处,禅房花木深。

   山光悦鸟性,潭影空人心。

   万籁此俱寂,但余钟磬音。

小题1:下列对本诗的理解不正确的一项是       (       )

A.首句 “清晨入古寺”点明了出游的时间和地点。诗人一大早就“入古寺”,可见他对这块佛教圣地的向往之切。

B.“万籁此俱寂,惟余钟磬音。”尾联进一步以钟磬音响轻轻回荡为衬,以动显静,映衬山寺万籁俱寂的宁静气氛。

C.这首诗以凝炼简洁的笔触描写了一个景物独特、幽深寂静的境界,表达了诗人游览名胜的喜悦和对当时美好社会的赞颂及建功立业的愿望。

D.常建,唐代诗人。长安人,开元十五年(727)进士。天宝中年为盱眙尉。后隐居鄂渚的西山。一生沉沦失意,耿介自守,交游无显贵。小题2:下列对本诗的赏析不正确的一项是(    )

A.常建这首诗是在游览中写会悟,具有盛唐山水诗的共通情调,但风格闲雅清警,艺术上与王维的高妙、孟浩然的平淡都不类同,确属独具一格。

B.唐代咏寺诗为数不少,且有很多佳作。常建的《题破山寺后禅院》,构思独具特色,它紧紧围绕破山寺后禅房来写,描绘出了这特定境界中所独有的静趣。

C.颈联“山光悦鸟性,潭影空人心”,诗句中一个“悦”字,赋予鸟儿以人的灵性,向读者传达了鸟音关关的画外音。一个“空”字,增强了画面的静趣。这两句诗进一步衬托出其景之幽静佳绝。

D.颔联“曲径通幽处,禅房花木深”,写出了寺内僧侣们生活的清苦,表现僧侣们内心对寺内生活的厌恶。
