一株玉米的人生 冰山雪莲
大千世界,芸芸众生,谁人不是经历了一番坎坷?万物生灵,谁的一生又会是一帆风顺的呢?万事如意,心想事成,只不过是人们对生活的美好祝愿罢了。
你看,那田间的一株株的玉米幼苗,不也是农人精心播种下去的吗?看它们安静的享受着阳光雨露,我想:它们的一生应该是万事如意,一帆风顺的吧?
不!细想它们一生的经历,每一阶段又何尝不是经历了一番苦难呢?
尚是种子时,它们中间有的就被筛选出来,被无情地丢弃。优胜劣汰,大自然的法则永远是残酷无情的!那么,被选中的种子是否就一生万事大吉了呢?
不!你看那嫩绿的幼芽儿旁边,不是有一粒种子在默默地哭泣么?它籽粒饱满,在阳光的照耀下闪着熠熠的光泽。谁能不说它是一粒优秀的种子呢?而如今,就因为农人的一个疏忽,它成了大地的弃儿,艳羡地看着昔日的同伴伸展着稚嫩的双臂接受大自然的恩泽,而自己却只能永远生活在同伴的阴影下,在孤寂的时光里呜咽!这一切难道是它的错?
那么,有机会发芽的种子该是命运的宠儿了吧?
不!当它们生长到大约二三十厘米的时候,农人们要再一次执行优胜劣汰的法则。一株株比较赢弱的玉米幼苗被生生的连根拔起!刹那间,我仿佛听见一声声因锥心的疼痛而发出的痛苦呻吟,一声声哀叹命运不公而发出的呐喊!是啊,它们并不都是羸弱的,枯黄的,它们中也有茁壮的,优秀的,可是,他们又能向谁去讨回公道呢?怨它们的位置不符合农人的要求?可那位置恰恰就是农人给的呀!
那么,有幸被留下来的幼苗就可以高枕无忧了吧?
不!它们将接受更多的考验!洪水、干旱、冰雹、蝗虫……将像猛兽一样时时肆虐的对待每一株幼苗!苗儿们要时时紧紧的抓住大地母亲的衣襟,稍有不慎就会被彻底击倒,而且永远不得复生!
难哪!那么,经历了种种磨难和坎坷,最终结得累累硕果的玉米们该是最最幸运的了吧?是的,它们是幸运的!你看,它们在秋目的阳光照耀下,露出金黄的笑脸,自豪地站在秋风中纵情歌唱的幸福模样,的确让人感到欣慰。可是,另一种不幸在别处悄悄地窥视着它们呢!
收获的季节到了!虽然一穗穗玉米幸福地被农人收仓,但是,在田涧地头,仍会有一些玉米被人遗漏。它们像仓中的玉米一样金黄,一样颗粒饱满,一样历经风雨,一样历经沧桑。可现在,只能在孤寂的秋夜里无奈的呜咽,在渐冷的秋风中无声的长叹,在凄风苦雨的侵袭下慢慢的腐烂!这,就是一株玉米的人生!经历了种种坎坷与磨难最终达到了成功彼岸,得到了自己想要的,就应谈是幸福的,幸运的了。因为还有那一样历经风霜而最终以悲剧形式离开的人们。
这,就是命运!强,是因为有弱相比较;幸,是因为有不幸做陪衬!
其实,人的一生如果真的万事如意,一帆风顺,心想事成,又何尝不是另一种悲哀呢?就像蜂蜜喝多了就不觉得甜一样。只有经历了许多波折,品尝了人生百味,人生道路上的风景才会色彩斑斓,五彩缤纷。人生不仅要有高度,更要有深度广度和厚度!不管结局如何,我努力过,我争取过,我奋斗过,我不仅走过、路过,还深深地悟过!我的人生了无遗憾就不愧来人世间走一遭!
分析第一段的含义及作用(4分)
解释下列两句话在文中的含义。
(1)可现在,只能在孤寂的秋夜里无奈的呜咽,在渐冷的秋风中无声的长叹,在凄风苦雨的侵袭下慢慢的腐烂!
(2)人的一生如果真的万事如意,一帆风顺,心想事成,有何尝不是另一种悲哀呢?
请概括玉米一生可能遇到的不幸。
结合实际情况,谈一谈“一株玉米的人生”给你人生的启示。
阅读下面的文字,完成下列各题。
梵 高
张 炜
我们终于谈到梵高了,神圣的梵高。在当代,他已经是不同艺术领域中的崇拜人物。他的作品在商人那儿已经化为金子,或者是远比金子还要昂贵十倍的珍奇。但是像他那样的心灵不仅用金钱无法沟通,就是用一般的艺术和精神也无法接近。他会在任何时候任何地点,拒绝那些流行的艺术热望者、大知音和中产阶级的高雅情调。因为他只是最平凡的人群中的一个灵魂,一个底层的感受者和传达者,一个不屈服者和抗争者,一个实践善良和使用决心的人。他是贫民的儿子,是他们痛苦而尖锐的眼睛。在这样的一双眼睛面前,我们往往只有在无可奈何的沉默中压住自己心底的惊叹才行。他的境界是高不可攀的,因为那是底层艺术家所守护的最后一道防线,也是权利。这其实也是人的防线与权利。梵高可以让我们明白,当一个人面对无情的外部世界时,顽强的精神会怎样迸溅出火花,直至燃烧为熊熊烈焰。
我走在慕尼黑、曼哈顿、巴黎等最著名的艺术博物馆里,在星光灿烂之中,在无法穷尽的艺术、不同时代不同流派的大荟萃面前,常常有一种无可逃匿的眩晕感。在跨越时空而来的多角度多层次、频繁急促和陡然有力的各种撞击之下,那根本来敏感的神经已经麻木疲萎。可是,几乎是无一例外,只要一走近梵高,一走近他的展出单元,立刻就会感到一片辉煌之光扑面而来。就这样,最昂扬的音乐陡然奏响。世界马上改变了,双眼睁大了,一切又重新开始了。
这是怎样神秘的力量,这力量又从何而来?
当然,一切只能源于他的这个生命。他的生命仍然在持续不断地发散----首先是从源头,从他执笔之时,从那一刻的怦怦心跳开始震动我们,使我们至今不能安宁。他眼中的一切原来与我们有巨大区别,就是这区别让我们双眼大睁、心上一凛。这区别当然是来自他的目光,它有强大的剥落和穿凿的力量:世界上的所有事物都被我们的眼睛蒙上了一层庸常的布幔,但这布幔在梵高那儿马上被刺破,或被抽揭一空。世界裸露了,本真显现了,所以他让我们看到的就是强烈的光,是逼人的颜色,是疾旋与燃烧,是轰响和炸裂,是呼叫和奔突......我们每个人本来都拥有这种直视的能力,不幸的是后来的生活给予我们每个人无尽的磨损,我们丧失了这种能力,而只有神奇的梵高保留了。
梵高做过教师、画店营业员、传教士、书店店员、画家。这些职业是那么不同,可是在梵高那儿并没有人们想像的那么大的差异。因为他以同样的心情去做,同样用力,同样真实。他赋予任何工作的,都仅仅是一份生命的虔诚。也正是由于这种对于工作的非同常人的理解,他差不多把每一样工作都给做“砸了”。最后是作画----他现在被公认为最伟大的画家之一,可是当时却被看成是最不成功的画家,几乎没有卖出过一幅作品。他没有一般专业人士看好的技法,简直没有受到什么正规的、更不要说是深入独到的专业训练了。他的画被看成可笑的涂抹,形式上一塌糊涂。那些直接而强悍的笔触、生猛可怖的画面,能够毫不费力地逼退那些艺术沙龙的宠儿。其实比起梵高而言,许多人等于生活在温室中,他们没有经历真实的风雨阳光,当然也没有接受过催逼,没有倾听过号叫,没有接受过起码的人生打击。他们怎么具有理解梵高的能力呢?
真实的生活,底层的生活,有时候、许多时候都是刺目的。但是在漫长的人生旅途中,生活的真实面目还是要显现----最后总是要显现。这是一个顽强的规律。每到这个时刻,人们也就开始理解了梵高,只不过稍微晚了些。
梵高的艺术,像许多真正的艺术一样,是直到最后才被接受下来的。
他保留下了大量书信。人们阅读这些书信时,才知道他是多么热情、对生活多么挚爱的人。人们读得泪眼汪汪。其实他的画作已经再好不过地表达了这种热烈。他的巨大的慈爱并不需要直接说出,他的柔情也并不需要,因为他全部都画出来了。他正是为这种爱,而不是为这种艺术,交出了自己全部的生命。
——《远逝的风景》
文章指出梵高的“心灵不仅用金钱无法沟通,就是用一般的艺术和精神也无法接近”,为什么?尽量用文中的语言作答,不超过14个字。
文章第三自然段:“这是怎样神秘的力量”中“这”所指代的具体内容是什么?
画线的句子问:“这力量又从何而来?”文中除从总的方面回答:“源于他的这个生命”以外,还说了两个具体的答案,请用自己的话予以归纳。
下列对文章的理解有误的两项是:( )
A.梵高的作品现在已经成为商人们以高价竞相购买的收藏品,而且成了商人们心中的无价之宝。
B.梵高让我们明白了顽强的精神可以使人在面对无情的外部世界时迸溅出火花,以至成为熊熊燃烧的烈焰
C.由于在慕尼黑等地的最著名的艺术博物馆里,艺术家众多,不同时代的艺术流派纷至沓来,使人常常有一种无可逃匿的眩晕感,故尔使作者对他们的作品产生了反感。
D.梵高现在已被公认为最伟大的画家之一,但在梵高的一生中做过教师、画店营业员、传教士、书店店员、画家,均未达到成功的目的,虽然他如同做画那样以同样的心情去做,同样用力,同样真实。
E.梵高的画以逼人的颜色,强烈的光,强悍的笔触,生猛可怖的画面,裸露、显现了世界的真实面目,逼退了当时艺术沙龙中的宠儿,因而遭到当时人们的否定。

[阅读材料]
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between his language and others’ language. Bit by bit, he makes the right changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things. They learn to talk, run, climb, ride a bicycle by comparing their own behaviors with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school teachers never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, even fewer chances for him to correct himself. They do it all for him. Teachers act as if the student would never notice a mistake if they did not point out it to him. They act as if the student would never correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let the student do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word means and what the answer is to that problem.
