问题 单项选择题

  近年来,报纸上经常刊载中小学生突遇一点挫折、打击,就选择终结生命作为解决方式的报道。 (A)校园暴力、残害动物之类的事件也时有发生。这些,都折射出当今部分青少年情感的淡漠,以及对生命的漠视和践踏。这一问题应当引起学校、家庭和社会各方面的重视,也应当引起每一个青少年的深入思考。青少年是祖国的未来,21世纪高素质人才的培养,需要每一个个体生命的健康存在,需要每一个个体不断去改善自己的生命,不断为生命所处的社会环境尽一份责任。因此,当代青少年应理解生命的价值,树立正确的生命意识。

  生命是人生最宝贵的东西,只有生命存在才会有人的其他价值的创造和实现。人的生命价值主要表现在以下几个方面:第一,人的生命的不可替代性。日本学者池田大作指出:“生命是有尊严的,就是说,它没有任何等价物,任何东西都不能代替它。”第二,人的生命的不可逆性。生命对于每个人来说只有一次,失去了就不可复得。(B)第三,人的生命的基础性。没有了生命的存在就不会有社会的发展以及人类所有的活动。生命的价值要求我们必须热爱生命,珍惜生命,爱护和尊重自己及他人的生命,与我们周围的自然生态环境和谐相处。

  自从人类诞生以来,灾难和挫折就伴随着人类生命的历程。(C)现代社会的进步使人类在享受自身发明创造成果的同时,也承受着前所未有的重负。生态环境遭破坏,资源日益枯竭,恐怖活动猖獗,局部战争不断,贫困、犯罪、饥荒、瘟疫等等严重威胁着人类的生命。同时,社会的飞速发展,竞争的日趋激烈,也给人们带来了更大的生存压力和精神困惑。在压力和困惑面前,人们往往有一种无能为力的感觉。处于成长阶段,心理发育相对稚嫩、脆弱的青少年,也大多生活在追求成功的沉重压力之下。不成功者固然不快乐,成功者也不一定有幸福感。因此,青少年尤其有必要树立正确的生命意识。首先,要有保存生命的意识。即要认识生命,学会基本的生存技能。第二,要有发展生命的意识。即理解生命的意义在于谋求发展,在于实现自我的生命价值。第三,要正确认识死亡,理解死亡和生命的关系。(D)此外,还要了解死亡对亲人朋友的伤害,从而对与死亡相关的种种打击、挫折、损失有所准备,更加珍惜生命。

  2003年4月,一场突如其来的“非典”疫病使北京的春天失去了往日的喧嚣与欢乐。这场劫难再一次让我们看到了生命的脆弱与顽强,也使我们每个人对生命有了新的认识。同时,广大医务工作者舍生忘死抢救患者生命的壮举,更使我们每个人的灵魂经受了一次庄严的洗礼。愿青少年朋友们能从中汲取精神力量,深入思考生命的价值,关注生命,珍爱生伞,进而建构一个更健康、更完美的生命。

下面这句话作为论据,应该放在文中A、B、C、D的哪一处()。

  俄国哲学家、思想家别尔嘉耶夫说:“这个世界上生命之所以有意义,只是因为有死亡。假如我们的世界里没有死亡,那么生命就会丧失意义。”

A.校园暴力、残害动物之类的事件也时有发生。这些,都折射出当今部分青少年情感的淡漠,以及对生命的漠视和践踏。

B.第三,人的生命的基础性。没有了生命的存在就不会有社会的发展以及人类所有的活动。

C.现代社会的进步使人类在享受自身发明创造成果的同时,也承受着前所未有的重负。

D.此外,还要了解死亡对亲人朋友的伤害,从而对与死亡相关的种种打击、挫折、损失有所准备,更加珍惜生命。

阅读理解

When students and parents are asked to rate(排名) subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as only entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the people who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from . Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity(身份) as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be gained any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon(现象). We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful as maths and science. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization(文明) through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children  some important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away the meanings that music expresses from our children.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, happiness, the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
