蚊对   （明）方孝孺
天台生困暑，夜卧絺帷中，童子持翣①飏于前，适甚就睡。久之，童子亦睡，投翣倚床，其音如雷。生惊寤，以为风雨且至也。抱膝而坐，俄而耳旁闻有飞鸣声，如歌如诉，如怨如慕，拂肱刺肉，扑股[撍]面。毛发尽竖，肌肉欲颤；两手交拍，掌湿如汗。引而嗅之，赤血腥然也。大愕，不知所为。蹴童子，呼曰：“吾为物所苦，亟起索烛照。”烛至，絺帷尽张。蚊数千，皆集帷旁，见烛乱散，如蚁如蝇，利嘴饫腹，充赤圆红。生骂童子曰：“此非吾血者耶？尔不谨，蹇帷而放之入。且彼异类也，防之苟至，乌能为人害？”童子拔蒿束之，置火于端，其烟勃郁，左麾右旋，绕床数匝，逐蚊出门，复于生曰：“可以寝矣，蚊已去矣。”
　　生乃拂席将寝，呼天而叹曰：“天胡产此微物而毒人乎？”
　　童子闻之，哑而笑曰：“子何待己之太厚，而尤天之太固也！夫覆载之间，二气絪緼，赋形受质，人物是分。大之为犀象，怪之为蛟龙，暴之为虎豹，驯之为麋鹿与庸狨，羽毛而为禽为兽，裸身而为人为虫，莫不皆有所养。虽巨细修短之不同，然寓形于其中则一也。自我而观之，则人贵而物贱，自天地而观之，果孰贵而孰贱耶？今人乃自贵其贵，号为长雄。水陆之物，有生之类，莫不高罗而卑网，山贡而海供，蛙黾莫逃其命，鸿雁莫匿其踪，其食乎物者，可谓泰矣，而物独不可食于人耶？兹夕，蚊一举喙，即号天而诉之；使物为人所食者，亦皆呼号告于天，则天之罚人，又当何如耶？且物之食于人，人之食于物，异类也，犹可言也。而蚊且犹畏谨恐惧，白昼不敢露其形，瞰人之不见，乘人之困怠，而后有求焉。今有同类者，啜栗而饮汤，同也；畜妻而育子，同也；衣冠仪貌，无不同者。白昼俨然，乘其同类之间而陵之，吮其膏而盬其脑，使其饿踣于草野，流离于道路，呼天之声相接也，而且无恤之者。今子一为蚊所，而寝辄不安；闻同类之相而若无闻，岂君子先人后身之道耶？”
　　天台生于是投枕于地，叩心太息，披衣出户，坐以终夕。
[注] ①翣（shà）：扇子

B:本文由生活小事入笔，从闻蚊、拍蚊写到照蚊、驱蚊，然后引发议论，逐步推进，最后以天台生“叩心太息”、“坐以终夕”作结，照应开篇。
C:本文描写细致生动，颇富情趣；议论鞭辟入里，启人深思；句式长短交错，整散结合，加之韵脚的巧妙运用，读来淋漓酣畅，令人击节赞叹。
D:本文借童子与天台生的对话，既揭露了同类相残的黑暗的社会现实，又批判了忽视异类生存权利的错误认识，阐发了万物平等、物我为一的主题。

莫高窟可以傲视异邦古迹的地方，就在于它是一千多年的层层累聚。看莫高窟，不是看死了一千多年的标本，而是看活了一千多年的生命。千年而始终活着，血脉畅通，呼吸匀停，这是一种何等壮阔的生命!一代又一代艺术家前呼后拥向我们走来，每个艺术家又牵连着喧闹的背景，在这里举行着横跨千年的游行。纷杂的衣饰使我们眼花缭乱，呼吸的旌旗使我们满耳轰鸣。在别的地方，你可以蹲下身来细细玩索一块碎石、一条土埂，在这儿完全不行，你也被裹卷着，身不由主，踉踉跄跄，直到被历史的洪流消融。在这儿，一个人的感官很不够用，那干脆就丢弃自己，让无数双艺术巨手把你碎成轻尘。
色流猛地一下涡漩卷涌，当然是到了唐代。人世间能有的色彩都喷射出来，但又喷得一点儿也不野，舒舒展展地纳入细密、流利的线条，幻化为壮丽无比的交响乐章。这里不再仅仅是初春的气温，而已是春风浩荡，万物苏醒，人们的每一缕肉筋都想跳腾。这里连禽鸟都在歌舞，连繁花都裹卷成图案，为这个天地欢呼。这里的雕塑都有脉搏和呼吸，挂着千年不枯的矜笑和娇嗔，这里的每一个场面都非双眼能够看尽，而每一个角落，都够你留连长久。这里没有重复，真正的欢乐从不重复。这里不存在刻板，刻板容不下真正的人性。这里什么也没有，只有人的生命在蒸腾。到别的洞窟还能思忖片刻，而这里，一进入就让你燥热，让你失态，让你只想双足腾空。

三、阅读理解(总20分)
  “I enjoy being a twin, “ said Helen. “The teachers at school are never sure who they are talking to！Even our friends don’t know sometimes. Once, just for joke, I let Nicky go out with my boy friend. He didn’t notice anything was different, until they got to the disco. I’m much better dance than Nicky!”
   “But there is something I really hate. People think we are halves of the same person. But we’re not! We’re two individuals. That’s why I always wait to see what Nicky’s wearing. Then I put on something else, something completely different.”
   “Oh, and I also hate it when people stare at us, when we’re together –as if we were something out of a circus!”
   “We look alike, but we’re more like opposite than twins,”said Helen. “I can’t think of anybody who is more different from me! We’ve got different friends, we like different music and different school subjects. In fact, I can’t think of anything which we both like, except for spaghetti! People often ask us if we’re telepathic. Somebody even asked me, “If I hit you, will your sister feel it?”I can’t think of anything more stupid!
   “But perhaps, deep down, we are alike. I’ll always remember when we decide to give our dad a birthday card each, instead of sharing one. We didn’t say anything to each other. We went to different shops, and when we got back, we had exactly the same cards!”

   By the time she got the box open, Nancy was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. Eagerly she removed the cotton surrounding the small object inside the box, and held it up to the light. It glittered and sparkled –made alive by the bright sunlight pouring through the large picture window. Nancy turned the object slowly in her hands, first this way and then that way. It continued to sparkle and shine as if it had a light of its own. She gave a little squeal of delight. Her diamond engagement ring had been found and returned to her, just as that woman on the phone had promised.
   For two weeks, Nancy had almost become a nervous wreck after losing the ring on the subway. She had placed ads in the newspaper and over the radio, offering a reward for the return of the ring. And, she had almost given up hope when the telephone call came.
   A kind, elderly female voice informed her that she had found the ring wedged in a seat cushion. She had called, she said, to ascertain the exact address and had promised to return the ring by insured mail the next day. And then she had added sweetly: “There’s no need top send a reward either. I lost my engagement ring once when I was young, and some kind, unknown person returned it to me the next day. I feel I’m only paying back an old debt of gratitude.”
   Nancy had thanked the finder profusely and asked her name, but the other woman had said that it wasn’t important. And, now, here was the ring once again in her hand. She slipped it once again on her finger and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
