Brian arrived at San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round trip ticket and a small package.
"Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily," Tony said," You don’t have any luggage, right"
"Only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry on bag. "
"That’s right. One carry on bag is fine. Have a good trip. "
"Thanks. "
is Brian a criminal Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $ 110 for the round trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he ______.

A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of jeans
D. saves little money from the travel

答案

参考答案:A

解析: 由最后一段的最后一句中的can be flexible about your travel plans,可推断出航空快递员不能确定旅行的时间和地点。故选A。

灯影书香

许寿裳在一篇记述鲁迅居京生活的文字里,提到西三条胡同寓所的壁上,挂有一副乔大壮所书的集骚句对联,文云:“望崦嵫而勿迫,恐鹈之先鸣!”他说这是鲁迅先生“表明格外及时努力,用以自励之意”。

这对联挂得很有意思;但要像鲁迅那样的人挂起来才能名副其实,如果让我辈来用,就不免妄了。

多年前,我也动过一回心念,拟请能写好字的朋友给我写一副对联。当时选定的联语是这么说的:“书似青山常乱叠,灯如红豆最相思。”这好像是陆剑南的诗句吧?但那意境的确完全符合自己当时的生活趣味。斗室中,书刊杂乱,上下堆积。每到天黑,就埋头书堆,对着不怎样明亮的灯光,常常一泡就泡到了深夜里。

要说一灯如豆。当然是极其夸张的,但由于夜深了,灯色也深了,日间浮动的心境,至此也显得分外的深沉。临案读书,那灯豆的情味,拟之红豆的惹人相思,恐怕也不为过。就这样,自己觉得个中天地异常的广阔,毫无遗憾地安于一段相当长久的时间。

后来呢,虽然终于给现实轰了出来,不再困守于昔日的书堆了,但对那深灯之下,一卷在手的情思,仿佛总还有点“剪不断”的余绪似的。

本来,只要还有时间的余裕,广读点书也是好事。问题在对书籍必须知所取舍。黄山谷云:“擘书覆瓿,裂史黏窗,谁不惜之?”我看未必尽然,天下有许多坏书、劣史,擘以覆瓿,裂以黏窗,可惜的是在瓿在窗,而不在书在史。因为它其实是玷污了瓿,亵渎了窗的。至于如赵季仁所持的平生三愿:一愿识尽世间好人,二愿读尽世间好书,三愿看尽世间好山水。只要他对“好”字的字义下的允当,则陈眉公所称“读书者当作此观”云云,也还是可加首肯的。

正因为世界上好书甚多,读之难尽,则劳生有涯,便觉得有时偷得一时半刻,局促在斗室之中,埋头于深灯底下,那种乐趣是无穷的,那种辛劳也是值得的。

[注]“望崦嵫而勿迫,恐鹈之先鸣!”集自《离骚》。“崦嵫”神话中太阳所入之山,“鹈”即杜鹃,鸣时百花皆谢,这两句诗有抓紧时光,及时努力之意。

1. 下列对这篇散文理解赏析不正确的两项是(4分)

A.这篇散文多处恰切地引用前人诗文,丰富了内容,增添了文采。

B.作者十分欣赏鲁迅居京寓所壁上的对联,但认为今天之人不配使用。

C.文中所引黄山谷的话,是对玷污了瓿,亵渎了窗的坏书、劣史的有力批判。

D.作者是一个书痴,深谙读书之味,知道读书之乐,应任由个人体会。E. 作者并不一味主张读书,好书甚多,劳生有涯,读之难尽,故须知所取舍。

2. 文章开头为什么从鲁迅书房的一副对联写起?(4分)

3. 从文中看,作者为什么喜欢挑灯夜读?(6分)

4. 从文中看,作者为什么主张“对书籍必须知所取舍”?(4分)
