借给你的温柔

江文胜

这天晚上，天下大雪，出奇的冷。养猪专业户王老汉蜷缩在家里的火盆前，他不敢出门。忽然，狗叫。王老汉极不情愿地打开屋门，一股刺骨的寒风迎面刮来，他打了一个激灵。王老汉哆哆嗦嗦地来到院子里，没见到任何人，可狗还在叫。

院子左边的一排房屋，是猪圈。他逐一查看猪圈，仔细地数，总共60头猪连毛发都没少一根。猪没被盗，狗为啥叫呢？肯定有情况，不然，通人性的狗是不会无缘无故地瞎叫的。果然，王老汉在那排距自己的住房最远的饲料库发现了“敌情”：喂猪的苕片饲料少了一袋！王老汉立马来了精神，他赶紧回到屋里，拉上三十岁出头的儿子金华出来寻找。原来下了雪，现在雪停了，院子里从院门到饲料库、从饲料库到院门各有两行脚印，清晰可辨。金华说：“咱们跟着脚印去追那偷饲料的人！”王老汉说：“这是一个人的脚印，咱俩去追，可以对付，铁证如山，看他如何狡辩。”

父子俩一前一后顺着脚印一口气追到了蜡子山矿区宿舍。脚印通到一间砖房的门前没了，别的砖房都熄了灯，只有这间房没有熄灯。

真是胆大包天啊！做了贼还敢亮着灯？王老汉这样想。

窗是玻璃窗，玻璃上结满了冰花。左下角的一块玻璃没了，糊上了报纸。王老汉用舌头舔湿了窗户纸，用手指轻轻一捅，报纸上便出现了一个小孔：一个黑黑的瘦瘦的中年汉子，坐在屋里的矮凳上，他的头上还冒着热气。啊！那袋装有红苕片的大编织袋赫然放在他的面前。床沿坐着一个双手笼在袖头里的老头，床头的被子下露出一个小脑袋，一个中年妇女站在这个黑汉子的对面。

王老汉父子猫着腰蹲在窗户外，大气不敢出，倾听着屋里的动静。

“粮，借来了。这就是，红苕片，100斤。你还愣着干啥？还不快去熬苕片汤！”汉子的声音。

“妈，快熬，我饿坏了，我要吃苕片汤。”小孩的声音。

“亚龙，这粮是咋借来的？”老人的声音。

“爹，我事先写好了借条，借条压在袋子下。”汉子的声音。

王老汉一愣，心想，我怎么没注意到那借条！真的有？

“这不是偷吗？自打你从娘胎里出来，我是怎么指教你的？做人要本分！还好，留下了借条，人要凭良心。但借粮容易还粮难哪！矿上不开工资，啥时候能还上？”老人的声音。“爹，这个我想过。车到山前必有路，活人不能让尿憋死，我还有一双手。到春天，矿上如果还不能开支，我就到农村去帮工。听说王老汉厚道，日子也过得殷实，不然我干吗要借他的。我想去他那里，帮他干活，用工钱抵粮钱……”汉子的声音。

“快走！”王老汉在心里喊。他拉起儿子往家里赶。进了院子，王老汉急奔饲料库，果然发现了那张借条：

家里无米下锅。借一袋红苕干片。春天还。蜡子山矿区吴亚龙，此据。

某某年某月某日

上面还有一个用墨水作印泥盖的“吴亚龙”的私章。

太阳从蜡子山上露出头来。吴亚龙推开屋门，见门口堆了一些东西：一袋大米、一袋面粉、一大块猪肉、几条鲜鱼和一袋冻豆腐……吴亚龙像见到了天外来物似的翻来覆去地找，竟找不出一张哪怕是手指宽的字条……

7．下列对这篇小说思想内容和艺术特色的分析，最准确的一项是（3分）

A．小说以“借给你的温暖”为题，揭示了文章的主题，表现了淳朴的人性美。

B．小说运用了外貌、神态、动作、心理、对话、细节等描写手法，生动形象地刻画了王老汉和吴亚龙的形象。

C．这篇小说讲了一个感恩的故事，他把人物放在大饥饿的时代，用简洁的文字给人物设置了一个道德困境。

D．小说的结尾照应了题目，既出人意料，又在情理之中；而且，使得王老汉“诚信”的形象更为突出。

8．小说中两处写到“雪”，分别有何作用？请结合文本简析。（5分）

9．小说中王老汉和吴亚龙，哪一位是主人公？请结合文本谈谈你的看法。（6分）

答案：

7．A【B项，对王老汉没有外貌描写，对吴亚龙没有心理描写；C项，小说并非在讲述“感恩的故事”，时代背景也不是“大饥饿时代”；D项，不是表现王老汉“诚信”的形象，应是吴亚龙的。】

8．第一处：“这天晚上，天下大雪，出奇的冷”，渲染气氛，交代了故事发生的背景，【1分】引出下文王老汉因冷不出门、吴亚龙留借据拿苕片的故事的叙写。【1分】

第二处：“原来下了雪，现在雪停了”，推动了情节的发展，【1分】为下文沿着清晰的脚印追寻偷苕片的人做铺垫，【1分】也暗指了吴亚龙选择在雪停之夜偷苕片，其实意并不在偷。【1分】

9．答案示例：

（一）我认为王老汉是主人公。

①形象塑造上，作者在塑造王老汉时，着墨最多，运用了动作、神态、心理、细节以及正侧面等多种描写手法进行塑造。【2分】②内容主题上，小说的结尾写到“门口堆了一些东西”“竟找不出哪怕是手指宽的字条”，虽只字未提王老汉，但很明显能看出是王老汉的善举，从而体现人性之美，深化了主题。【2分】③情节结构上，作为明线，王老汉的活动贯穿情节始终。【2分】④题目上，“借给你的温暖”中的“借给”也昭示着主人公应是王老汉。【2分】

阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________.

The 75-year-old won the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tr adition”， the Swedish Academy said. “For 54 years he has been at it, reinventing himself，” said Sara Danius, the academy's permanent secretary.“Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear.But it's perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.” And while many Dylan's fans have found great delight at the news, others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee, saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year. New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are. Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize. “Dylan's poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world，” Scorsese said.“His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist.The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture —in world cultur e.” Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American culture”．He's the first American to win the literary Nobel since Toni Morrison in 1993. 语篇解读：2016年，鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖的消息让很多人大感意外，从而引发热议。

2014高三语文快得分分项专练：训练卷16 散文阅读(一) 一、阅读下面的文字，完成1～3题。(15分) 白发上津城 梅洁 小时候，就隐约听父亲说过湖北郧西有个“朝秦暮楚”的地方，可少小离家，光阴荏苒，岁月沧桑，再没问津。长大后才知人们已经把这个“古成语”作为对爱情不专一的贬损词。 接郧西邹龙权电话时，我就问，郧西是不是有个“朝秦暮楚”的地方？邹龙权说：有呀，上津就是。 我说，我去上津看看好吗？邹龙权说当然可以，我老家就是上津的。 没去上津时，只知“朝秦暮楚”是个成语，去了上津，才发现这是一个秦楚千年相依的古地！这不，我们去上津的车子停在了秦人聚集的陕南古漫川，漫川镇的执政者们把我们领到一片开阔场地，那里并排矗立着二百多年前秦楚两地人各建的古戏楼。秦人的戏楼简约、雄浑，楚人的戏楼精巧、华丽。真有点像一对秦楚相好，在这里牵手百年。 苍莽秦岭，不仅是中国南北气候的分界线，也是秦楚两种不同文化的揖别地。 我们在漫川古镇穿街走巷。我问郧西朋友，为什么在陕西地界停下？朋友说，这里离上津只有十几分钟的路程。来上津参观的人，必领到漫川，去漫川参观的人必领来上津，这已成惯例。啊，秦楚不再战争！啊，鄂陕息息相依！ 走进上津，才知上津这个有着1 800岁的古城是多么的老，老得白发千丈！老得只想让人跪地揖手仰凝。走进上津，才知道蜗居在秦岭深处的楚塞秦关在中国历史上是怎样地举足轻重！如果从建安二十四年(公元219年)曹丕在这里建平阳县算起，1 800年里，上津曾14次设县、6次设郡、2次设州，历史太垂顾汉江边这块弹丸之地了！ 上津北枕秦岭，南临汉水，金钱河穿城飘逸而过。这里自古就是兵来将去、战马鸣嘶的军事重镇，也同时是一个舟楫穿梭、商贾云集的商贸荣城。三国时，曹操部将就在此扼守中原关口，南宋年间，岳飞和金兀术部将在这里杀声震天，元初忽必烈把这里设为囤粮基地。六千里迢迢的金元蒙古人，居然占领上津前后达80年之久！以至于后来的李自成、王聪儿、新四军……上津饱经战争创伤。 唐代杜牧有诗：“长安回望绣成堆，山顶千门次第开。一骑红尘妃子笑，无人知是荔枝来。”上津人知道，当年给杨贵妃送荔枝的船就是在他们那里起岸，然后由骑士打马飞奔，送入长安宫的。也由此，唐玄宗派八品令官把守上津驿站。 上津人还说，长安是13朝古都，历朝历代从江南选送美女进皇宫的船队，经长江、汉水数月的水上劳顿到达上津之后，已人困马乏，纷纷上岸休息，之后转陆路穿秦岭到长安。而无数江南女子上岸后乘机进入上津、郧西民间，千年的美女逃遁，使郧西一代一代女子都天生丽质。鄂西北自古至今都流传着一句谚语：“要吃米到竹溪，要娶媳妇到郧西。”应该

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

2020-2021全国高考英语阅读理解的综合高考模拟和真题分类汇总附答案

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe. Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2. City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest, trees tend to grow close together, shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak. （1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2? A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses. B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming. C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels. D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on. （2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees? A. To know about their growth rates. B. To find out how much they weigh. C. To check whether they were healthy. D. To assess the carbon amounts in them. （3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees? A. They are more likely to access growth promoters. B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air. C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors. D. They are better at competing for light. （4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued? A. How urban trees can live longer. B. Why city living makes trees die young. C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions. D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more CO2.

2018届二轮复习小说阅读训练（江苏） 一、中国小说 阅读下面的文字，完成文后题目。 蚊刑 孙方友 陈州城四周皆是湖，万余亩，水天一色，素有“水城”之誉。湖内蒲草丛丛，荷花片片，因而夏日多蚊虫。傍晚时分，那蚊虫便密匝匝飞出，团团而来，团团而去，云集之处，铺天盖地，“嗡嗡”之声，能传百步之遥。 此地蚊虫，针长翅大，肚明腿花，为花脚蚊子，咬人贼轻，过后则又肿又硬，奇痒难忍，素有“飞蛇”之称。 为防蚊虫，每到夏日傍晚，陈州内外便火艾熏天。外埠人进陈州，必得先经得起火艾薰，要不，你就无法呆下去。因而，此地火艾有价钱。 先前的时候，陈州一直为府。不知何朝何代降为县。首任知县姓贾，至于叫贾什么，已无从考究。此人为人刁毒，搜刮民财，不择手段，人送外号“花脚蚊子”。每到夏日，他必做火艾生意，而且还订了“土政策”：不准外埠或本地客商在此出售火艾。独门生意好做，因此他年年必发火艾财。 火艾生意，扎本小，获利大，商人和四周村民见钱眼开，便偷做。每每抓到偷售火艾者，贾知县就用蚊刑惩罚之。 蚊刑，顾名思义，就是用蚊子叮。让人把罪犯衣服扒光，然后缚了，划船送到河心，看守守在四旁，坐在吊了帐子的船上。受刑者如若天明五更身亡，罪有应得；如若命大不死，当场放生。可大多受蚊刑者，皆撑不到黎明，便浑身浮肿，一命呜呼。 有时候，贾知县也用此刑法严惩土匪和惯偷。偷偷倒卖火艾的商人和村民虽然对贾某奈何不得，但土匪们却不是好惹的。土匪们扬言，若有一天活捉贾知县，一定要为弟兄们雪耻。 这一年七月，一队土匪夜袭县城，果真绑走了贾知县。到了一处，众匪推出贾知县。匪首望了望一县之长，冷笑一声，当即命令，用蚊刑。 几个匪徒应声把贾知县的衣服扒了个精光，知县又白又胖，如同刚褪净的肥猪。一匪徒照腚一掌，脆响。众匪大乐，细看父母官，仍气宇轩昂，不屑一顾。匪首大怒，高喝：“上刑！”众匪应声而动，把知县缚了，搁到船板上，送到湖中。 时处盛夏，蚊虫极多。月光下，众匪坐在吊了帐子的大船上，喝酒吃肉，笑看贪官丧九泉，那贾知县身上早已落满了蚊虫，里三层外三层，如蜂房一般。一时间，知县又肥了许多，像陡然下了一场黑雪，父母官被埋进了雪堆里。 那知县如死了般一动不动，直到天明。众匪以为知县已亡，给他松了绳索。没想他突起，虽然眼肿脸胖，竟没死。众匪惊诧，问：“你怎么没死？” 知县笑道：“蚊子，懒虫也，吃饱喝足便是睡觉。吾一夜如眠，怕的就是惊动他们。这样一来，后边的蚊子过不来，趴在身上的已喝饱，是它们保全了我！说出道理来怕你们不懂，这就叫逆来顺受！” “胡扯！”匪首怒吼，“我们兄弟为何叮死了？” “这就怪他们自己了！蚊刑中有明文规定：天明不死者放生。可他们耐不住，来一批蚊子刚喝饱，他们便摇头晃身，把它们赶跑了，于是又来了一批！一夜之间，赶跑一批又来一批，赶跑一批又来一批……如此循环，那血哪有不

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知，作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs.

2017届全国高考英语阅读理解汇编（1）英语试卷SYS201708100601 一、阅读理解 详细信息 1. 难度：中等 阅读理解。 Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought，and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley，Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University，is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions. He believes we are very ambivalent about them：we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them as essential to being human.For example，Mr Spock，a character in the television series Star Trek，is superintelligent and he has no emotions at all.However，he is never made captain of the spaceship.Maybe，this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with—a person who shows his emotions. As Professor Oatley points out，our emotions have very important functions，for example，fear.If we cross the road and a car approaches，we usually stop moving or step back.We stop what we are doing，check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which，on average，help preserve our safety. On the other hand，if things are going well and small problems come up，we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.As a consequence，we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job. Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person，or to try harder，and so on. Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else，while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing. 1.What’s Keith Oatley’s opinion about emotions? A．They affect reasonable thought. B．They get us into trouble. C．They are helpful to us. D．They are reasonable. 2.What does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them”in Paragraph 2 mean? A．We have contradictory feelings towards emotions. B．We have similar ideas of emotions.
