Second, reading appreciation (59 points)

(1) Read the following text and complete questions 6-9. (25 points)

Whether reading or writing, the difficulty of words lies in the determination and control of meaning. Words have direct meaning and associative meaning. For example, the direct meaning of "smoke" will be understood by anyone who has seen a burning body smoking, but its associative meaning is vague and elusive. It can be associated with incendiary bombs, crow beds, incense burning in temples, "Yichuan Tobacco", "Yangliuwan Smoke", "Smoke condenses into sunset" and "Lantian breathes its jade to the sun". Direct quotation means contained in the dictionary, like a moon wheel, obvious and true; The meaning of association is the various relationships accumulated by characters in the historical process, such as the halo outside the wheel and the glow outside the wheel, whose shades vary with people at any time and place and are unpredictable. The more scientific vocabulary is limited to the direct meaning, the more accurate it is, while literary vocabulary must sometimes take into account the associative meaning, especially in poetry. The meaning of direct reference is easy to use, but the meaning of association is difficult to use. Because the former is fixed and the latter is free; The former is partial to type, while the latter is partial to personality. Since it is free and individual, it is not easy to control, and it can enrich the meaning, and it can also make the meaning vague or even fragmented. For example, there are three or four sentences in Su Dongpo's poem "Cooking Little Dragons in Huishan", which say that "taking an abortion in the sky alone to taste the best Er Quan in the world", and "abortion in the sky" is associated with "Little Dragons" tea. If you don't know this connection, the original text is incomprehensible. If we don't understand the common meaning of the bright moon soaking in spring water and green tea, we will lose the beauty of the original text. The beauty of these two poems is that they are inseparable and looming. It is richer and more ambiguous than using the phrase "Huishan Spring Soaks Xiaolong Tuancha". The difficulty lies in the ambiguity. From "taking the little dragon group alone to taste Huishan Spring" to "taking the little moon in the sky alone to taste the best Er Quan in the world", this is the golden touch. This is why literature is literature.

6. The following analysis and explanation of this passage is incorrect (5 points) ()

A. Words have direct meaning and associative meaning. The direct meaning is easy to be clear, but the associative meaning is elusive.

B. When creating, you should chew the words carefully, whether it is scientific or literary, and combine the meaning of association with direct reference.

C. when creating literature, you should dare to exert your imagination and association, and you should not be satisfied with plain expression.

D literary creation, especially poetry creation, should make good use of the meaning of association, which can enrich the meaning of poetry.

Analysis: the mistake in choosing B is that "everything should be directed and combined with the meaning of association", which is too absolute.

7. "Whether reading or writing, the difficulty of words lies in the determination and control of meaning". How to understand "the decision and control of meaning"? (6 points)

A:

A: The determination of meaning depends on the reader's side and depends on understanding and imagination. The control of meaning lies in the author's side and depends on creativity.

8. What is the center of this article? (no more than 15 words) (6 points)

A:

A: The difficulty in using words lies in the determination and control of meaning.

9. The author gives two examples: "Smoke" and Su Shi's "Huishan Cooking Xiaolong". What do these two examples show? (8 points)

A:

A: ① This word has two meanings: direct and association. The associative meaning of this word is not easy to control, it can enrich the meaning of poetry.

(2) Read the following text and complete the question 10 ~ 12. (9 points)

Emotion and language

Zhu Guangqian

All art is lyrical, showing a kind of spiritual feeling, such as obvious emotions such as anger, love and hate, sadness, subtle emotions such as excitement, depression and tranquility, and various indescribable erratic moods. The same is true of literature as an art. Words that do not show any emotion are not literary works. Characters have four functions: emotion, reasoning, narration and concreteness. In literary words, whether it is reasoning, narration or concreteness, an emotion must be revealed, otherwise, it will become boring daily application words, such as account books, charts, mathematical textbooks and so on. However, it is not easy to draw a clear line, because people are emotional animals, and emotions are easily touched by reason, things and things. It is for this reason that many philosophical, historical and even scientific works are literary. If you don't use words, you will inevitably show some subjective psychological tendencies, or at least have a "rational belief", which is still an emotion.

Emotions can't be directly expressed in words, but must be set off by things, reasons and things, that is, they must be turned into thoughts. The first step in writing is to have a feeling in your heart, then find out the specific things that can set off this feeling, and finally find the right words to express this inner feeling. Creation is not created out of nothing, but must have its roots. Nature is the foundation of art. Casting, carving and arranging art according to nature will result in a supernatural world. Art is art because of "nature" and "man-made". Emotion is nature, and it is the art of literature to melt emotions into thoughts and express them in words. In literature and art, emotions can only be expressed through images and rhetoric. Being full of emotion can't guarantee a person to be a writer, just as a mountain full of marble can't guarantee a sculpture. The same is true. If a writer believes in his rough feelings and lets them "show naturally", he will end up like a stone digger rather than a sculptor. The sculptor's task is to give the stone a complete shape, a life with spirit and flesh.

Wordsworth, an English poet, famously said, "Poetry begins with emotions recalled in silence." After some aftertaste in silence, emotions can be changed from subjective feelings to objective observation objects. After washing and polishing thoughts, thoughts can create a complete and elusive form and life for vague and elusive emotions. The principles of this poem can be applied to all literary works.

Generally speaking, literary works can be divided into three types, that is, "emotion moves in words", "emotion overflows in words" or "words overflow in feelings". I feel very much in my heart, but I say very much in my mouth, which means "love is exhausted"; I am very touched in my heart. I only say seven or eight points in my mouth, which is "full of emotion"; I only feel seven or eight in my heart, but I say ten in my mouth. That's beyond words. As far as common sense is concerned, "full of words" should also be the ideal of literature. However, "beyond words" has its advantages. Chinese has its limits, and sometimes it is impossible to talk freely. Even if it is possible, meaning can't last forever. The function of art is not statement, but suggestion. The ancients said that "words are endless, meaning is endless". The implication is endless, profound and graceful, and readers can freely imagine and draw inferences from others. If everything is said, the reader's imagination will have no chance to play. Although "the view stops here", it is "no more than you". Compare pictures, describe characters, carefully describe dots and stains with meticulous brushwork, and tell the story as completely as possible. In this way, a few strokes with big strokes will be more vivid and interesting. This is the difference between a painter and a painter. A painter with more ink is not as good as a painter with less ink. In the selection and arrangement, the Rubik's Cube can contain infinity with finiteness, grasp the essence and discard its dross.

(Excerpted from Talking about Beauty and Literature)

10. One of the following statements about "love words" is incorrect (3 points) ().

A. "Emotion" can't be directly expressed by "words", and it can't be expressed without the help of things, reasons and things, which means that "emotion" must eventually be transformed into thoughts.

B. "Emotion" is a natural state, as long as it is integrated into thought, it is the art of literature; Words are used to express thoughts and feelings, and are the carriers of thoughts and feelings.

C. Literary works can be divided into three types according to whether the words written by the author completely express their feelings, namely, "Emotion moves in words", "Emotion moves in words" and "Words overflow with feelings".

D. From the common sense, feelings are greater than words, that is, the words written by the author can fully express all feelings in the heart, which should be the ideal of literature.

Analysis: the choice of item B.B. "As long as it is integrated with ideas, it is the art of literature" does not conform to the meaning of the text, and it also lacks the necessary conditions for "reaching the words". The original text says that "it is the art of literature to melt feelings into thoughts and express them in words".

1 1. The following understanding of the content of the article is inappropriate (3 points) ()

A. As an art form, literature is bound to be lyrical, expressing a certain spiritual feeling, which can be obvious, subtle or even difficult to express.

B. Art comes from nature. According to nature, art is cast, carved and arranged by writers, not made out of nothing. The result is a supernatural world.

C. In literature and art, emotions can only be expressed by images and rhetoric, so a writer can't just rely on his own rough emotions and let them "naturally show".

D Wordsworth, an English poet, famously said, "Poetry begins with emotions recalled in silence." The principle of poetry expressed in this famous saying can be applied to all literary works.

Analysis: In B and B, literature is only one kind of art, and art is "carved by writers".

12. From the full text, one of the following statements is (3 points) ()

A. The words in literary works, whether reasoning, narrative or metaphor, should reveal an emotion, and words without emotion will become boring and daily applied words.

B. Many philosophical, historical and even scientific works are literary. This is because people are emotional animals, and emotions are easily touched by reasons, events and things.

C. I am very touched in my heart, and I only say seven or eight points. This "sentimental" literary work has a deeper meaning and allows readers to freely imagine and extrapolate.

D. The brilliance of using painting to compare literary creation lies in vividly explaining that when expressing certain feelings, the more words, the more verbose, and the simpler the language, the more vivid and interesting it is.

Analysis: the selection of the original D.D. item does not judge whether a literary work is vivid according to the number of words. The key is to make finite become infinite.

(3) Read the following text and complete the question 13 ~ 16. (25 points)

Qian Zhongshu, who is a "madman"

Yang Jiang

If you want to know a book, you still need to know the author himself. It is best to know it from an early age.

As soon as Zhong Shu was born, he was raised by his uncle because he had no son. Zhong Shu grabbed a book when he was one year old, so he named it "Zhong Shu". Of all the brothers, he is naive and dull. When he studies hard, he cares about everything, puts down his books and is not serious at all. It seems that he has a lot of extra interests and no place to put them, and he loves to talk nonsense. The Qian family likes to say that he is "crazy".

Zhong Shu began to read at the age of four, and he began to gobble up The Journey to the West and Water Margin collected at home, as well as novels rented from bookshops, such as Said Tang Dynasty, Biography of Ji Gong and Elvis Presley. After reading it, he danced and told his two younger brothers the novel he had just read. Later, when we were in Oxford, he told me which hero used what weapon and how many kilograms he weighed.

When Zhong Shu was 1 1, his uncle died. Aunt smokes, and the family loses quickly. Zhong Shu couldn't afford an exercise book when he was studying, so he used a book made for him by his uncle himself with tassel paper and paper twist. The teacher frowned. All the students have many pens, but he only has one, so he can't write without a pen. He used his quick wits, sharpened his hair and bamboo chopsticks, and dipped his head in ink to write. Of course, he wrote in such a mess that the teacher simply refused to accept his exercise book.

He showed some confusion, which still exists today. For example, he can't remember his date of birth. When he was a child, he couldn't tell right from left. Fortunately, he was wearing cloth shoes, regardless of his left and right feet. When he wears a collared underwear or sweater, he often turns it upside down. When he put the dress on his neck, he just turned it upside down, but the result was still upside down.

Zhong Shu was admitted to Suzhou Taowu Middle School at the age of fourteen. That year, his father went to Tsinghua University to teach and didn't come home during the winter vacation. Without the strict control of his father, he borrowed a large number of publications such as Novel World, Red Rose and Violet to read at will. His father came home and ordered him to write an article. His article was neither written nor written, and his words were vulgar. His father was very angry and gave him a beating. The beating inspired the legitimacy of his active study. Zhong Shu studied hard and made great progress in his composition. At that time, the Commercial Press published a book by Qian Mu, which contained the preface of The Father of Zhong Shu. According to Zhong Shu, he wrote it on his own behalf and didn't change a word.

Zhong Shu studied hard under the guidance of his father and was admitted to Tsinghua University at the age of twenty. In fact, he still studies out of preference, just like a gluttonous glutton: he eats a lot of intestines, and he doesn't choose carefully, but eats sweet and salty. He can laugh at extremely vulgar books. He not only watched the gag in the opera script, but also moved it again and again until he fell down. Most exquisite and profound works, such as philosophy, aesthetics, literary theory, etc. He ate and ate like a child eating snacks and gradually finished eating the thick book. Poetry is his favorite reading. A big dictionary, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc. He not only read letter by letter, but also took pains to add new entries to old books when he saw the new edition.

Zhong Shu's "Qi" book can't hold, but it still overflows. When we were in Oxford, he took a nap and I posted, but when a person was writing, he fell asleep when he was sleepy. He woke up and saw that I was asleep, so he dipped in thick ink and wanted to draw a face for me. But I woke up as soon as he put pen to paper. He didn't expect my face to eat ink more than rice paper and wash away ink marks. My face is as fast as paper. After that, he stopped playing pranks, only drew a portrait for me, and added glasses and a beard to it for fun. On a hot day, his daughter fell asleep (she was still a doll). He drew a big face on her belly and was scolded by his mother. He dare not draw any more.

Qian often said that "fools have fun". As a bookworm, he is really a bit silly. Books for him to read are as rich as the rich man's "hit grain" and will be supplied from all directions. As long as he has books to read, he will be all right. This is another manifestation of the so-called "infatuation" of family members.

After Zhong finished Fortress Besieged, his infatuation was still strong, but it was not reflected in his second novel. After Fortress Besieged was reprinted, I asked him if he wanted to write another novel. He said: "There may be interest, but the number of talents is decreasing year by year. It is impossible to write, only resentment; Those who can't write for the sake of writing can only regret. There is still room for self-deception in jealousy. Regret is the so-called' moment to face the truth' in the Spanish you have learned, which makes you unable to deceive yourself, excuse yourself, tolerate it and taste bad. I would rather hate than regret. " Perhaps these words can be used as the annotation and preface of the second edition of Fortress Besieged.

13. The following analysis and summary of biographies, the most appropriate two are (5 points) ().

A. When Qian Zhongshu was one year old, he grabbed a book, hence the name. He really loves reading, and he doesn't choose fine and coarse books, which is as vulgar as Chinese opera. He not only read and laughed, but also played them over and over again until he fell down.

B. after uncle Qian Zhongshu died, life was very tight. But he can still be optimistic about all this. He couldn't afford exercise books, so he ordered fringed paper and paper buttons to write as books. When the nib is broken, sharpen the bamboo chopsticks and use them as the nib.

C. His father's beating aroused Qian Zhongshu's indignation at reading. He studied hard and made great progress in his composition. The preface he wrote for a book by Qian Mu was very successful.

D. "Blessed are the idiots." Qian Zhongshu's "blessing" is that as long as there are books to read, there is nothing else. The books he reads are very valuable, just like the rich's "going on the road".

E in this article, Jiang Yang, Qian Zhongshu's wife, recalled Qian Zhongshu's life in chronological order. The narrative is full of affection and outlines an image of Qian Zhongshu full of infatuation.
