One morning, a blind* boy sat in front of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign* which said,“I am blind. Please help me. There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps* and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty* of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure*what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

D.Nobody wanted to give any coins to the blind boy.
答案

小题1:B

小题2:D

小题3:C

小题4:A

题目分析:这篇短文讲述了一个眼睛盲了的小孩在路边乞讨,旁边牌子写着“我是盲人,请你帮助我”,但没有几个人给他钱。一个路人帮他把牌子改成“今天天气很好,我却看不见。”很快他就得到了很多人的帮助。同样的意思,不同的表达和创意,结果就不一样。

小题1:细节理解题。根据文中描述What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”他写的是“今天是美丽的一天,但我却看不到”,故选B。

小题2:词意猜测题。结合后文“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”你就是早上改了我牌子的那个人吗?你些了什么?可知此句为The boy recognized his footstep sand ask, 男孩认出了他的脚步并问道。故选D。

小题3:细节理解题。从文中内容可知I am blind. Please help me.我是盲人,请帮助我,故选C。

小题4:判断推理题。在那个人改了牌子之后,Soon the hat began to fill up.帽子很快就装满了(钱),从而判断A正确。

营建起梭罗式的散步境界

杨文丰

  梭罗在《心灵散步》中还说,能不能成为真正的散步者,绝不是依靠自己的追寻,“一个步行者,必须是得天独厚的,必须天生是步行者的家庭成员。我是个‘生命的步行者’”。的确,以生命而散步者,自然是本质的、天然的、本色的。

  我对梭罗这种“天生散步者之说”,尽管欣赏,却不敢苟同。我将之视作是梭罗散步说的瑕疵。尽管梭罗之说肯定是真诚的。因为一名作家是否真诚,主要是看他的文字。梭罗的真诚,却全然展示在那不朽的与其行为也自然合一的长篇自然散文——《瓦尔登湖》里了。

  1845年春天,梭罗在老家康科德城附近的瓦尔登湖畔建了一座小木屋,过起了自耕自食的生活,写出了《瓦尔登湖》这本“寂寞、恬静、智慧的书”(徐迟:《瓦尔登湖》译本序)。书中文字,摹景写人细致优美,见解独到,耐人寻味,还犹同湖水般纯洁、透明、自然、静谧。静静的文字,给予你一片清新、健康、向上的冲力,使你的心灵在不知不觉之中就得到了纯净和升华。能写出如此文字的梭罗,还能是不真诚的吗?

  然而,假如梭罗能够活到今天,我以为,他肯定也会真诚地无法再坚持自己的“散步观”了。毕竟客观环境会影响乃至决定人的主观意识。当年,梭罗之所以具有那样的散步观,是由当时瓦尔登湖一类纯净、恬静、美丽的自然环境所决定的,起码也是与其密不可分的。不久前,我恰巧读了一篇中国作家朝圣瓦尔登湖后写的文字,才知瓦尔登湖也早已“旧貌变新颜”,环湖早已屋舍森然,喧嚣不绝于耳,而且湖泊早已凄惨地干涸了。

  置身于今天如此的环境,梭罗,你还能 “散步”依旧吗?你还会有旧日的散步心情吗

  我们有充足的理由可以推断,可敬的梭罗也只能 “改行”而走路了。

  梭罗的“改行”,无疑是无奈的,可将之视作一则寓言。

  嗟乎!深入地看,谁能否定,今天如此伟大可爱的人类,已再也无法自在地“散步”,而只能宿命地“走路”了呢

  只是由”散步”沦为”走路”,对于人,已成了日落西山般的无奈,成了对于啜饮而不得不独吞的苦酒……

  然而,走路也不是永恒的。

  一位早逝的港星在影片里说:有一种无脚鸟,它无枝可依,为了生存,只能一直飞呀飞,飞累了就只能在茫茫的风里睡觉。无脚鸟自然是无法一步步走路的,终其一生只能下地一次,只是这一下地,就跌入死亡之谷。如此伟大的无脚鸟,不已成为了沦落苦海的人类的绝妙象征么!

  悲观吗?自暴自弃吗?然却又有何用!我们需要的,依然是乐观主义。理想主义仍然是乐观主义的极致!

  “要创造人类的幸福,只能靠我们自己。”(《国际歌》)到了今天我们真是太需要国际歌的悲壮了。

  自然和社会何以会出现如此的污染?怎么办?果真如《寂静的春天》前言中所说:“清除污染最重要的是澄清政治”吗?

  人类的理想能够破灭吗?真的会破灭吗?人类真是宿命地要成为无脚鸟吗?

  果真如歌手刘欢在《从头再来》中所唱:“心若在,梦就在,天地之间还有真爱”吗?追寻或营建梭罗式的散步境界,能成为当今人类最重大、最恒久、最全球化的“真爱”。梭罗式的散步境界,关山千重,云遮雾障,追寻或营建之,其艰难不亚于新的长征吗?

  沐浴上世纪曙光的诗人郭沫若,屹立在地球的东方,以海洋般阔大的声音,唱出了憾天震地的伟大诗篇《凤凰涅槃》,呼唤新中国,如凤凰浴火而新生。为新生而浴火,因浴火而新生,尽管不易,然而,还存在别的道路吗?人类若没有自身的涅槃,不先行涅槃,又何以能使自己与自然共同涅槃呢?!能否营建成功梭罗的散步境界,在今天,难道不已全然取决于我们人类有无可能真正地涅槃了吗?

1.根据文意,解释文中画线句中加粗词的具体含义。

________________________________________________________

2.下面这句话中,作者将人称转换为第二人称,简要分析其表达效果。

置身于今天如此的环境,梭罗,你还能 “散步”依旧吗?你还会有旧日的散步心情吗?

________________________________________________________

3.作者认为,假如梭罗能够活到今天,肯定也无法再坚持自己的“散步观”了。为了阐述理由,作者作了两个推理。请写出这两个推理。

________________________________________________________

4.下面对文中“涅槃”这个说法的阐述,不符合作者观点的两项是(     )

A.为避免沦为“无聊鸟”,人类需要“涅槃”式的彻底改变。

B.要实现“涅槃”,人类必须有“靠我们自己”的悲壮决心。

C.“涅槃”,是为解决人类与自然的矛盾,并不为“澄清政治”。

D.实现“涅槃”的过程是艰苦的,我们不能畏惧这过程中的艰难。

E.“涅槃”即“浴火重生”, “浴火”就意味必须毁掉现有的一切。
