爱的礼物
那天姐姐收拾家时,无意中翻出我的“百宝箱”,里面什么都有:玻璃弹球、纸剪小鸡、塑胶小人、绣花布片……
“你从哪儿弄来这些没用的东西?该扔了。”
“那可不行,”我连忙阻止,“这是我的宝贝,是我的学生边的礼物!”我一件件把玩着那些东西,那个玻璃弹球是李军送的,那个塑胶小人是霍丽芬送的……我可以说出每一件礼物的来源珠。
这时,一张薄薄的画纸跃入眼帘,我小心地拿起它,-------------------。那是一天放学后,我抱着一摞作业向办公室匆匆走去。我的一个学生朝我跑来:“老师,我要送你一件礼物!”她的眼睛因兴奋而闪闪发亮。
“是吗?”我装作很感兴趣的样子,心里却因为想尽早赶回住处而焦躁起来。“看,这是我画的小仙女,好看吗?”她从身后拿出她的宝贝,展示给我看。过于艳丽的色彩与稚拙的手法使那个所谓的小仙女看起来像个夜叉。“喏,送给你!”她得意地把那张画递向我。
“哦……谢谢。”我勉强地说,“不过,我现在不能拿。再说,我也没处放。” “哦。”她脸上的笑容立刻飞走了,垂下手,慢慢地走开了。从那一刻起,我就开始后悔,因为我无法忘记她准备送我礼物时眼中的期待与爱,那是只有在孩子的眼光中才能找到的纯真;而且我同样无法忘记我拒绝后她眼光中的失望和沮丧。我立刻找到她,诚恳地说:“你送我的那张好看的画呢?”她看着我,面无表情:“我想你可能不喜欢,所以送给别人了。”
她的表情和决定让我很难受,我想尽可能挽回自己的过失。“也许你愿意再画
一张送给我?”我试探地问。
“你喜欢吗?”
“是的!”我努力回忆那张画,我这回不再以一个成人的眼光去看,而是以一个山区10岁孩子的眼光去看它,“那么多种颜色在一起真好看,而且小仙女的梅花耳环很漂亮!”
她的脸立刻亮了起来:“我今晚再画一张,明天送给你!”
我看着她的小脸儿,这跟大人想要以昂贵的礼物换取实惠、换取感情时的表情多么不同啊!
从那以后,我经常收到学生送我的礼物。那些礼物实在不值什么钱,但对我来说却无比贵重。因为当他们送礼物时,可以从他们微笑的脸上看出,那满得快要溢出来的爱,正是孩子们心目中的黄金。

_____________________________________________的心理。
4.小女孩画的“小仙女”像“夜叉”,并不美,可为什么老师还说那是张“好看的画”呢?
答:______________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
5.“我望着她的小脸儿,这跟大人想要以昂贵的礼物换取实惠、换取感情时的表情多么不同啊!”一句中,“不同”之处在于:大人是____________________,而“她”则是_______________________。

“少年读鲁迅”危险不危险?
丁辉
①我们中国人是有“关心”下一代的传统的,这一点只要看看我们经常给青少年的阅读设置壁垒就不难感知,比如“少不读红楼”之类。(其实,对于《红楼》,少年人看看并无大碍的;从《红楼》里看到“淫”的反而是那些正襟危坐、了无趣味的道学家之流,就很能说明问题。)后来又有人说,“少不读鲁迅”。我初听这句话,内心里真的是“咯噔”一下子,觉得这句话是点中了鲁迅思想的某些要害的。
②我要算是鲁迅的资深读者了,但就像鲁迅自己读过的中国古书可能比谁都多,却反对年轻人读中国旧书,我是最起码能够部分认同“少不读鲁迅”的说法的。那么,“少读鲁迅”的危险究竟在哪里?
③似乎不必为尊者讳,鲁迅终生习惯于从阴暗面去看人、看事。有人说这跟鲁迅阴暗的童年记忆有关,这些姑且不论。总之,正是这样的独特的思想方法成就了鲁迅。香港岭南大学的许子东教授最近比较了鲁迅和胡适,说“病情是鲁迅看得透,药方是胡适开得好”。胡适的“药方”好不好尚可存疑,但鲁迅于中国的病情“看得透”,我想应该是“拥鲁”派和“反鲁”派都愿意承认的,可以说鲁迅的魅力正源自他对中国问题或曰“中国病”的揭示可谓鞭辟入里,入木三分。然而必须正视的是,鲁迅深刻的悲观、虚无,甚至绝望,正是源自他对“中国病”的“诊断”全面而深刻。鲁迅是背负着虚无与绝望的重担起而行动、斗争和反抗的,就像古希腊神话里推巨石上山的西西弗斯,明明知道是徒劳,却周而复始,永不止息。鲁迅说:“我觉得唯黑暗与虚无乃是实有,却偏要向这些作绝望的抗战。”鲁迅的伟大处与悲壮处皆在于此。
④要青少年“读点鲁迅”的理由自然是充分的。鲁迅的文章好倒在其次,更重要的是,不读鲁迅不可能懂得中国历史,不读鲁迅不可能懂得中国人。因此,我对“读点鲁迅”是没有意见的。但对青少年读“太多”的鲁迅却每每心怀疑虑。我的想法是,青少年尚处在思想、性格和人生态度的塑成期,他们是否有足够伟岸的人格与足够博大的胸怀来承负鲁迅那样的深刻的悲观与虚无?如果答案是否定的,那么,“少读鲁迅”就有了某种程度的危险。如果青少年承负不了对这个世界的悲观、虚无,甚至绝望,当一个少年人读鲁迅足够多的时候,世界就有可能在他眼中变得无一可亲,无一可信,亦无一可爱,从而丧失对这个世界的基本信赖。这样,岂不“于国于家无望”,“生意尽矣”!鲁迅本人亦多次声明自己的作品“太黑暗了”,明确表示不愿意青年受这种“黑暗”的影响。
(选自《2012年中国杂文精选》,有删改)
小题1:阅读第④段,用简洁的语言概括青少年要“读点鲁迅”和不能读“太多鲁迅”的原因。(4分)
小题2:第③段划线的句子运用了什么论证方法?请联系本段内容简要说明这种方法的作用。(3分)
小题3:作者在文中表述的观点是“我是最起码能够部分认同‘少不读鲁迅’的`说法的”,请品析这里“最起码”、“部分”两词所体现的议论文语言的严密性。(4分
小题4:作者说“‘少读鲁迅’就有了某种程度的危险”,我们初中课本里有《社戏》《故乡》《从百草园到三味书屋》等鲁迅作品,请你根据自己的阅读体验,指出作者说法的略显偏颇之处。(80—100字,5分)
参考答案:
小题1: “读点鲁迅”的原因:读鲁迅才能懂得中国历史和中国人(1分),鲁迅的文章好(1分)。不能读“太多鲁迅”原因:青少年的人格与胸怀无法承负鲁迅(作品)的深刻的悲观与虚无(2分)。
小题2:道理论证(或“引用论证”)(1分),引用许子东教授和鲁迅自己的话(1分),有力地证明了“鲁迅的伟大处与悲壮处皆在于他的深刻。”(1分)
小题3:“最起码”突出了作者对“少不读鲁迅”说法的认同,如删去,就不能强调这一点(2分);“部分”说明作者对“少不读鲁迅”的说法还有些保留意见,如删去,就与那些观点完全一样了(2分)。
小题4:示例:《社戏》《故乡》《从百草园到三味书屋》《孔乙己》等散文、小说,充满了鲁迅对美好童年、少年生活的回忆,对美好人性的赞美,这些篇什里并没有“悲观、虚无,甚至绝望”,没有“黑暗”,读这些作品,没有一丝一毫的危险。这些作品应该多读、熟读。(5分)
小题1:
试题分析: “读点鲁迅”的原因,抓住“鲁迅的文章好倒在其次,更重要的是,不读鲁迅不可能懂得中国历史,不读鲁迅不可能懂得中国人”来回答;不能读“太多鲁迅”原因,抓住“青少年尚处在思想、性格和人生态度的塑成期,他们是否有足够伟岸的人格与足够博大的胸怀来承负鲁迅那样的深刻的悲观与虚无?如果答案是否定的”即可明确答案。
小题2:
试题分析:解答题目时,先要明确本段的论点是“鲁迅的伟大处与悲壮处皆在于他的深刻”;而划线句子是引用了许子东教授和鲁迅自己的话,因此是采用了“道理论证”和“引用论证”的论证方法,而论据是为论点服务的,因此可明确答案:引用许子东教授和鲁迅自己的话,有力地证明了“鲁迅的伟大处与悲壮处皆在于他的深刻。”
小题3:
试题分析:“最起码”、“部分”都是表限制性的副词,结合语境,“最起码”突出了作者对“少不读鲁迅”说法的认同,如删去,就不能强调这一点;“部分”说明作者对“少不读鲁迅”的说法还有些保留意见,如删去,就与那些观点完全一样了。解答此类题目,先要结合语境看看有无该词时语意是否有变化,就能明确气的作用了。
小题4:
试题分析:结合《社戏》《故乡》《从百草园到三味书屋》等鲁迅作品,简要说说其的积极的主题,即可指出作者说法的略显偏颇之处。

阅读短文回答问题 第3篇
异象聚焦:
1. 命题时随意拓展, 与文本“分道扬镳”。如某校五年级期末考试, 出现了这样一道练习:
(2)将下列骈偶成语中的另一句写下来。
藏之名山,
得道者多助,
失之东隅,
精诚所至,
且不去分析此题的难易程度, 请思考一下此题与文本有何联系呢?阅读短文考查的阅读理解能力, 一定是先阅读文本, 再去解答相关问题。脱离文本, 随意命题, 就没有任何意义了。
2. 答案不具确定性, 而作为考试恰恰需要答案的确定性, 需要命题者提供答案。如某校五年级期末考试将叶圣陶的名篇《稻草人》第3自然段引入了阅读短文。第三小题:
“他安安静静地看着田地, 手里的扇子轻轻摇动, 赶走那些飞来的小雀, 他们是来吃新结的稻穗的。”这句话中的“小雀”指的是什么?A.小鸟。B.特指麻雀。
真不知此题能考查学生何种阅读能力。虽然命题者提供的答案是B, 但查阅资料后, 没有任何依据。
3.所选短文, 不具代表性。学生阅读理解, 既是一次阅读能力的考察, 又是一次温暖的阅读经历。“文质兼美”, 应该是其本质特征 (我们的课文也是如此) 。笔者所遇到的一些短文, 如《蠢狼》等文字浅显, 内容苍白, 没有美感可言。
4.将语文课程标准“置之度外”, 颠覆序列。学生语文素养的发展是具有序列性的。然而, 有些“阅读短文”有随意拔高之嫌。如在某三年级的考试中, 要求画出比喻句, 并写出这样写的好处。在语文素养的序列中, 这明显是高年级的范畴。
现实回应:
命题时, 我们应该如何选文?
笔者认为, 试卷中的短文可分为两类。
第一类来源于教材, 就是王荣生教授所定性的“定篇”。“定篇”本身就是课程内容的一部分, “学生的学习任务, 就是沉浸于这些诗文, 并按权威者的指示, 对那些被阐释过的诗文加以内化 (了解和欣赏) 。将之作为阅读理解内容, 就是考核学生是否已经“彻底、清晰、明确地领会”了作品。
第二类来源于课外阅读, 也就是王荣生教授定性的“例文”与“样本”。主要考察包括事实、概念、原理、技能、策略、态度在内的语文知识。 (具体请参照王荣生教授等主编的《语文教学内容重构》一书) 而这些“例文”“样本”的选择, 是与教材文本紧密相关的, 至少里面所包含的事实、概念、原理、技能、策略、态度应该是一致的。如文质兼美的散文, 具有典型的写作特征的科学小品文, 说理性的文章, 当然也有来自生活的新闻报道等, 培养学生独立阅读相关文本的能力。
我们应该如何命题?
课标, 对各个学段的阅读目标作了阐释, 它为阅读理解立下了标杆, 只有以它为镜, 才不致于“盲人摸象”。观照课标第三学段阅读目标的阐述, 笔者认为, 小学高年级阅读短文命题主要有以下几种形式:
1.对于语文知识的关注。
语文教育是母语教育, 语文知识支撑着母语的“学得”教育, 引导着学生语感的生成。对于阅读理解而言, “语文知识”应该是其中不可规避的一个体系。具体形式可以有以下几种:
淤看拼音写词语。
于给加点词语选择正确读音。
盂联系上下文, 填上 (选择) 合适的词语。
榆仿照例句, 写词语、句子。
虞给短文相应部分加上标点符号。
愚填关联词语。
舆画出文中比喻句、拟人句等。
以上题目, 考查了学生语文素养结构中最基本的内容。另外, 有了具体的语言环境, 这比单纯的“看拼音写词语”“词语搭配”“选择关联词语”等之类的题目更科学、更简洁、更直观, 更能体现出学生基本的语文素养。
2.对于阅读技能的演练。
培养学生独立的阅读能力, 是阅读教学一项非常重要的课程任务。由此衍生开来, 阅读短文也应强化学生的阅读技能。具体形式如下:
淤联系上、下文理解词语。
于使用词典。侧重点不在于查词典的方法, 而在于对于理解词语及整个文本的帮助。
盂搜集处理文本信息。能否在浩如烟海的信息源中快速、准确地捕获自己所需要的信息, 并迅速判断信息的真伪, 已成为信息时代必须具备的素养和能力。在学生的独立阅读中, 搜集处理信息是最为基本的阅读技能。
如短文《梦想永远在路上》, 我设计了这样一个题型:
本文的主人公是。被誉为。10岁时, 他的梦想是, 20岁时, 他的梦想是, 30岁时, 他的梦想是……70岁时, 他的梦想是。他一直没有停下自己的脚步, 因为他认为。
这是对文本内容的回顾, 也是对文本主旨的挖掘。再比如短文《献给北川的橘子》, 其中第四题设计为:
根据文中的相关信息, 用通顺、简洁的话, 把下面的人物或地方介绍清楚。
A.“我” (本文作者) :
B.达沃斯:
这一题既考察了学生对文本信息的判断能力, 又考察了他们的分析与综合能力, 可谓是一举两得。
榆给短文加上合适的题目, 或者给中间内容填空及补充结尾。
题目是文章的眼睛, 而结尾也常常是文本“画龙点睛”之处。“加上合适的题目, 补充结尾”有利于学生对文本核心价值的把握。
填补文本中间内容, 也能考察学生能否整体把握文本。
形式之一:选择。
如:想一想, 下面的这段话应加在第自然段和第自然段之间。
上帝回答:“我创造了世界, 也创造了风雨, 创造了干旱, 创造了蝗虫与鸟雀, 我创造的是不能如人所愿的世界。”——《如果麦子没有考验》
形式之二:填空。
联系上下文, 在第8自然段的横线上填一句合适的话。
到了收成的时刻, 奇怪的事情发生了, 农夫的麦穗里竟然没有结出一粒麦子。
农夫找到上帝, 问道:“?”——《如果麦子没有考验》
虞考察概括能力。最常见的形式有概括段意和主要内容等。另外, 还有此形式的“变异”。如:
玛格丽特以自己的哪些行动实践着“永远坐在前排”, 请用简洁的语言说一说?———《永远坐在前排》
愚理解关键词、句、段。如:
对文中的两个“绿手指”, 你是怎样理解的?请联系上、下文, 作出回答。
A.美国某小镇有一位“绿手指”。
这一句中“绿手指”是指
B.但愿你我还能长出新的绿手指。
这一句中“绿手指”是指——《绿手指》
3. 对于文本语言的赏析。
关注语言形式, 已成为当前语文阅读教学的共识。在阅读短文中, 让学生赏析文本的表达效果, 则是对此共识的有力回应。
如:画出短文中的比喻句, 说说这句话把什么比作了什么, 表达效果如何?
4. 对于表达形式的观照。
观照文本的表达形式, 从而实现能力的迁移, 也是阅读短文命题的重要内容之一。
淤文中前面的情节有多处为后文的故事发展埋下伏笔, 仔细读短文, 为文中的两处伏笔找到与它们照应的句子, 分别用直线和波浪线在文中画出来。———《慈善的不是钱, 是心》
再如:于课文第三段说“妈妈虽银丝飘飘, 却心明眼睛亮”, 第四段又说“妈妈眼睛不好”这两处是否前后矛盾?为什么?
5. 对于人文内涵的体味。

(四)One morning it took me an hour to watch a small ant carry a huge feather across my back porch(走廊).2
Several times it met objects on its path and after a short time it would go around them.At one point the ant had to deal with a crack(裂缝)about 10mm wide.After a short time of thought, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked across it and picked it up on the other side then continued on its way.I was attracted by the cleverness of this ant, one of God‘s smallest creatures(生物).It was an example of the wonder of creation.Here was an insect, tiny, yet given a brain(大脑)to think, explore, discover and beat difficulties.But this ant, just like people, also shares human weaknesses.After some time the ant finally reached its home — a flower bed at the end of the porch and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground home.And it was here that the ant finally faced the problem.How could that large feather possibly fit down the small hole?
Of course it couldn‘t.So the ant, after all this trouble and using much creativity, beating difficulties all along the way, just left the feather behind and went home.The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its brave journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a heavy weight.Isn‘t our life like that?
We worry about how much money we have, we worry about work, about where we live, about all kinds of things.These worries are heavy things, and they make an already difficult life even more difficult.Worrying will do nothing good for us.When we get to where we want to be in life, we will understand that worrying can only bring us down.1.Did the writer show a great interest in the ant at first?

(五)Alexander Graham Bell was a British man who was a teacher to people who could not hear.He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1847 and went to school in Edinburgh and London.People who can not hear any sounds at all are called deaf people, and Alexander became interested in helping them to learn to speak.He taught people how to use their mouths to make the sounds needed for talking.Bell‘s family moved to Canada in 1870 and to the USA in 1871.For several years he taught the people who could not speak in Boston.But at the same time he was developing a way to use electricity to send the sounds of talking along a wire, and he made the first telephone in June, 1875.He worked hard in his workshop for six months with his helper Tom Watson.Finally, he spoke these famous words slowly into the telephone, ―Mr.Watson, come here.I want to see you.‖ and Watson came to him.The telephone develo

(六)Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities.Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure(冒险)---those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky(冒险的)activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee(蹦极)jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的)rope tied to your ankles.You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It is said that about 2 million people around world have now tried bungee jumping.Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff(悬崖).For the reasons, some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring.Not very long ago, people‘s lives were constantly(持续的)in danger.They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle(战争)for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement.They live and work in
comparatively safe conditions;they buy food in shops;and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.1.Are there many people who are taking part in the dangerous sports?

(七)Frank W.Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852.His family was very poor, and there was never enough to eat.Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer.He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Frank realized he had a natural skill
Soon afterwards, Frank opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents.But he had another
lesson to learn before he became successful.That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories.Once, for example, Frank went to Germany and placed an order for knives.The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year.In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Frank had over 1,000 stores in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London.He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world.He always worked hard and ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”

(八)AUTUMN is harvest(收获)time for the 27 eighth-graders at Heritage Middle School in Painesville, Ohio.They couldn‘t wait to pick ripe vegetables from the school garden behind the school‘s library.There were tomatoes, beans, peppers and broccoli.The 27 students took part in the school‘s garden project.The program teaches about environmental issues(环保事宜)– water, soil and energy – as well as leadership and team-building skills.―I hope it helped to get the kids outside to start their own garden at home,‖ said Colleen Royer, coordinator(协调人)of the program.Several gardening experts helped the students build two garden beds and plant some vegetables in May.For some students, it‘s their first taste of the garden‘s fresh vegetables.Others have been working through the hot summer months to keep the plants alive.Eighth-grader Christopher DiPierro and his family pulled weeds, watered and even took home some ripe vegetables.His mother, Laura, said her other children also took part and it was a great learning experience for the whole family.―We went to work one day a week [in the summer],‖ she said.―The kids learned how to be patient.Chris paid extra attention and it was really exciting for him.He‘s not a tomato fan, but he agreed to try.‖
At the end of September, the school made pepperoni(意大利香辣肠)and jalapeno(墨西哥胡椒)pizza with the peppers and tomatoes from the garden.All the students enjoyed the delicious food – the fruits of their labor – together.240 w
