让我们一起观看黄土高原的秦腔吧。

秦腔

贾平凹

       山川不同,便风俗区别,风俗区别,便戏剧存异。普天之下人不同貌,剧不同腔:京、豫、晋、越、黄梅、二簧、四川高腔……十几种品类。或问:谁为历史最悠久者,文武最正经者,是非最汹汹者?日:秦腔也。正如长处和短处一样突出便见其风格,对待秦腔,爱者便爱得要死,恶者便恶得要命。外地人A——尤其是自夸生于长江流域的纤秀之士B——最害怕秦腔的震撼。评论说得婉转的是:唱得有劲;说得直率的是:大喊大叫。于是,便有柔弱女子,常在戏台下以绒堵耳,又或在平日教训某人:你要不怎么怎么样,今晚让你去看秦腔!秦腔成了惩罚的代名词。所以,别的剧种可以各省走动,唯秦腔则如秦人一样,死不离窝;严重的乡土观念,也使其离不了窝:可能还在西北几个地方变腔走调的有些市场,但绝对冲不出往东南而去的潼关呢。     

        但是,几百年来,秦腔却没有被淘汰,被沉沦。这使多少人在大惑而不得其解。其解是有的,就在陕西这块土地上。如果是一个南方人,坐车轰轰隆隆往北走,渡过黄河,进入西岸,八百里秦川大地,原来竟是:一抹黄褐的平原;辽阔的地平线上,一处一处用木椽夹打成一尺多宽墙的土屋,粗笨而庄重;冲天而起的白杨、苦楝、紫槐,枝杆粗壮如桶,叶却小似铜钱,迎风正反翻覆……你立即就会明白了:这里的地理构造竞与秦腔的旋律惟妙惟肖的一统!再去接触一下秦人吧,活脱脱的一群秦始皇兵马俑的复出:高个、浓眉、眼和眼间隔略远,手和脚一样粗大,上身又稍稍见长于下身。当他们背着沉重的三角形状的犁铧,赶着山包一样团块组合式的秦川公牛,端着脑袋般大小的耀州瓷碗,蹲在立的卧的石碾子碌碌上吃着牛肉泡馍,你不禁又要改变起世界观了:啊,这是块多么空旷而实在的土地,在这块土地摸爬滚打的人群是多么“二愣”的民众!那晚霞烧起的黄昏里,落日在地平线上欲去不去的痛苦的妊娠,五里一村,十里一镇,高音喇叭里传播的秦腔互相交织、冲撞。这秦腔原来是秦川的天籁、地籁、人籁的共鸣啊!于此,①你不渐渐感觉到南方戏剧的秀儿无骨吗?②不深深地懂得秦腔为什么形成和存在并占却时间、空间的位置吗?     

1.第一自然段A、B两处的破折号的作用分别是什么?

A:                                                                                                                         

B:                                                                                                                         

2.请将文中画“           ”的两句变成陈述句。

(1)                                                                                                                          

(2)                                                                                                                          

3.“秦腔”为什么会成为惩罚的代名词?

                                                                                                                              

4.读了本文后,你对秦腔有着怎样的理解?请把你想到的写在下面的横线上。
