二、文言文阅读(总8分)
阅读下面文言文,完成下列题目
《湖南文征》序 曾国藩
吾友湘潭罗君研生,以所编撰《湖南文征》百九十卷示余,而属为序其端。国藩陋甚,齿又益衰,奚足以语文事?
窃闻古之文,初无所谓法也。《易》、《书》、《诗》、《仪礼》。《春秋》诸经,其体势声色,曾无一字相袭。即周秦诸子,亦各自成体。持此衡彼,画然若金玉与卉木之不同类,是乌有所谓法者。后人本不能文,强取古人所造而摹拟之,于是有合有离,而法不法名焉。若其不俟摹拟,人心各具自然之文,约有二端:曰理,曰清。二者人人之所固有。就吾所知之理而笔请书而传请世,称吾爱恶悲份之情而缀辞以达之,若剖肺肝而陈简策。斯皆自然之文。性情敦厚者,类能为之。而浅深工拙,则相去十百千万而未始有极。自群经而外,百家著述,率有偏胜。以理胜者,多阐幽造极之语,而其弊或激宕失中;以情胜者,多排恻感人之言,而其弊常非缛而寡实。自东汉至隋,文人秀士,大抵义不孤行,辞多俪语。即议大政,考大礼,亦每缀以排比之句,间以婀娜之声,历唐代而不改。……
湖南之为邦,北枕大江,南薄五岭,西接黔蜀,群苗所革,盖亦山国荒僻之亚。然周之末,屈原出于其间,《离骚》诸篇为后世言情韵者所祖。逮乎来世,周子复生于斯,作《太极图说》、《通书》,为后世言义理者所祖。两贤者,皆前无师承,创立高文。上与《诗经》、《周易》同风,下而百代逸才举莫能越其范围。而况湖湘后进,沾被流风者乎?兹编所录,精于理者盖十之六,善言情者,约十之四;而骈体亦颇有甄采,不言法而法未始或紊。惟考据之文搜集极少。前哲之倡导不定,后世之欣慕亦寡。研生之学,稽《说文》以究达诂,笺《禹贡》以晰地志,固亦深明考据家之说。而论文但崇体要,不尚繁称博引,取其长而不溺其偏,其犹君子棋于择术之道欤!
(选自《曾国藩诗文集》,上海古籍出版社,2005年版)

B:周秦诸子,亦各自成体
C:若其不俟摹拟,人心各具自然之文
D:《离骚》诸篇为后世言情韵者所祖
21、下列各句中对文章的阐述,不正确的一项是( )(D) (2分)
A:从行文的顺序看,作者先说文集,次论文法,再论文风,然后谈湖南文化源流,最后是对《湖南文征》及其编撰者的评价。
B:论及群经之外的百家著述,作者认为,无论是以理胜者,还是以情胜者,都有其自身的不足,并非尽善尽美。
C:谈到文化源流,作者认为,湖南虽属“山国荒僻之亚”,但由屈原、周子(敦颐)所开创的文化传统,泽被后世。
D:文章结尾,作者认为,《湖南文征》收录考据之文极少的客观原因是罗研生深明考据家之学,“论文但崇体要,不尚繁称博引”。
三、现代文阅读(总8分)
阅读下面的文字,完成下列题目。
中国的资源、地理环境、社会经济等等特殊条件,都会影响中国的科技发展。在我与青年人接触中许多青年人热心于世界科技的发展,他们有志成为世界学者、国际学者,对国际的重大问题给予极大的关注。为此①,我要求他们多研究中国的重大问题。如中国长江三峡工程,这么大的水利资源要开发,在世界水利史上是少有的。为此②,世界上好多水利学家都想插一手,以流芳百世。这项工程出台时,遭到美国的反对,他们认为会破坏生态平衡,而现在美国商务部则忙于为美国公司提供有关中国三峡建设的信息和咨询,否则他们将难以介入。长江三峡还不算是中国的最大问题,最大的问题是中国西南地区的水利开发问题。第一,它占全部资源的50%~70%。西南地区的水利资源集中在南沙江、金沙江、怒江,横亘三个地区,落差1000米,水利资源极其丰富。它的开发,需要高落差水轮机。目前,这项技术在世界上都没有得到很好的解决。第二,这一资源的开发,是在崇山峻岭之中。怎样进去,这也是世界上极少碰到的问题,是搞飞艇呢,还是发明其他运输设备,这有待开发和探讨。因此,它们不仅是中国水利建设上的问题,也是科学技术的研究课题。
英法修隧道等是影响世界的重大问题。中国也有些跨世纪的问题,如怎样将雅鲁藏布江的水调到西北,彻底解决大西北的干旱问题,这也是跨世纪的工程,一旦实现,其经济效益之大是难以估量的。但这一问题的解决不是21世纪上半叶就可完成的,这是中国子孙万代的事业。
22、文中加点的两个“为此”各指的是什么?选出正确的一项( )(A) (2分)
A:①指许多青年人热心于世界科技的发展,关心国际的重大问题;
②指世界水利史上少有的中国长江三峡工程。
B:①指中国的资源、地理环境、社会经济等等特殊条件,都会影响中国的科技发展;
②指世界上许多科学家都想插一手,以流芳百世。
C:①指许多青年人热心于世界科技的发展,关心国际的重大问题;
②指世界上许多水利科学家都想插一手,以流芳百世。
D:①指中国的资源、地理环境、社会经济等等特殊条件,都会影响中国的科技发展;
②指世界水利史上少有的中国长江三峡工程。
23、文中提到了几个中国科技发展的重大问题,下列四项中不能与之并列的一个是( )(C) (2分)
A:中国长江三峡工程
B:中国西南地区的水利开发
C:高落差水轮机的研制
D:雅鲁藏布江的水调到西北
24、从文中看美国对三峡工程的态度为什么陡转?回答不确切的一项是( )(D) (2分)
A:阻不住便想插一手,想起领导作用
B:介入这一大工程可以赚大钱
C:想参与建设出名出成果而流芳百世
D:炫示和推销自己先进的科学技术
25、这段文章的中心内容是什么?请选出正确的一项( )(B) (2分)
A:中国的社会环境、经济条件、地理资源等影响中国的科技发展,应该加强研究。
B:中国的科学技术问题正成为世界科学技术的重大问题,应该多加关注。
C:中国的青年科学家应多研究中国科学技术的重大发展,不要老是关注世界科技的发展。
D:中同影响世界科技发展的跨世纪工程很多,经济效益不可估量。

三、阅读理解(总20分)
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you” hopes to hear answer “Fine”, even though the person’s friend isn’t fine. Because “How are you” is not really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other way of saying “Hello,” and “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say just what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person might be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to say so, so the other person might say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say just what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone end when one person says “I’ve got to go now”. Often , the person who wants to hand up (挂电话)gives an excuse; “Someone’s at the door” “I’ve got to put the things away” “Something is burning on the fire”. The excuse might be real, but it isn’t very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.
When they meet each other, talk about an idea, or end a talk, people often don’t say just what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s all part of the games of language!
46、When a person is not going to agree with someone, it would be better to say “____”.
(C) (2分)
A:No, I don’t agree
B:I think you’re wrong
C:I’m not so sure
D:I’m sure I don’t agree
47、Excuse are used because he or she _________ (A) (2分)
A:doesn’t want to hurt the other person’s feelings
B:wants to talk to a person at the door
C: wants to do much housework
D:is cooking something on the fire
48、“______” is a better expression used to end a telephone call. (D) (2分)
A:I don‘t want to talk any more.
B:Sorry, I want to hang up
C:You speak too much.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of the second of September, 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's bakery in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and
family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul's.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
