高中语文真题：高中语文2005年普通高等学校全国统一考试语文试卷（全国卷Ⅰ）一、现代文阅读(共1题)1.阅读下面的文字，完成以下各题。
一日的春光冰心去年冬末，我给一位远方的朋友写信，曾说我要尽量的吞咽今年北平的春天。
今年北平的春天来的特别的晚，而且在还不知春在哪里的时候，抬头忽见黄尘中绿叶成阴，柳絮乱飞，才晓得在厚厚的尘沙黄幕之后，春还未曾露面，已悄悄的远引了。
天下事都是如此--去年冬天是特别地冷，也显得特别地长。
每天夜里，灯下孤坐，听着扑窗怒号的朔风，小楼震动，觉得身上心里都没有一丝暖气。
一冬来，一切的快乐、活泼、力量和生命，似乎都冻得蜷伏在每一个细胞的深处。
我无聊地安慰自己说：“等着罢，冬天来了，春天还能很远么？”一天看见湖上冰软了，我的心顿然欢喜，说：“春天来了！”当天夜里，北风又卷起漫天匝地的黄沙，忿怒的扑着我的窗户，把我心中的春意又吹得四散。
有一天看见柳梢嫩黄了，那天的下午，又不住地下着不成雪的冷雨，黄昏时节，严冬的衣服，又披上了身。
九十天看看过尽--我不信了春天！几位朋友说：“到大觉寺看杏花去罢。
”虽然我的心中始终未曾得到春的消息，却也跟着大家去了。
到了管家岭，扑面的风尘里，几百棵杏树枝头，一望已尽是残花败蕊；转到了大工，向阳的山谷之中，还有几株盛开的红杏，然而盛开中气力已尽，不是那满树浓红、花蕊相间的情态了。
我想，“春去了就去了罢！”归途中心里倒也坦然，这坦然中是三分悼惜，七分憎嫌，总之，我不信了春天。
四月三十日的下午，有位朋友约我到挂甲屯吴家花园看海棠，“且喜天气晴明”--现在回想起来，那天是九十春光中惟一的春天--海棠花又是我所深爱的，就欣然地答应了。
东坡恨海棠无香，我却以为若是香得不妙，宁可无香。
我的院里栽了几棵丁香和珍珠梅，夏天还有玉簪，秋天还有菊花，栽后都很后悔。
因为这些花香，都使我头痛，不能折来养在屋里。
所以有香的花中，我只爱兰花、桂花、香豆花和玫瑰，无香的花中，海棠要算我最喜欢的了。

英专05级《英美文学作品选读》试卷AJune 2008Section One (40%)Directions:Match each of the following ten passages with its author.1. The woods are lovely, dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.2. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.3. So I got a piece of paper and a pencil, all glad and excited, and set down and wrote,Miss Watson your runaway nigger Jim is down here two mile below Pikesville and Mr.Phelps has got him and he will give him up for the reward if you send.HUCK FINN 4. I cannot express what a satisfaction it was to me, to come into my old hutch, and liedown in my hammock-beck. This little wandering journey, without settled place of abode, had been so unpleasant to me that my own house, as I called it to myself, was a perfect settlement to me, compared with that. It rendered everything about me so comfortable that I resolved I would never go a great way from it again while it should be my lot to stay on the island.5. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks m elt wi’ the sun;And I will luve thee still, my dear,While th e sands o’life shall run.6. The waves beside them danced; but theyOutdid the sparkling waves in glee;A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company;7. Until on the threshold of the prison-door, she repelled him by an action marked with natural dignityand force of character, and stepped into the open air, as if by her own free-will. She bore in her arms a child, a baby of some three months old, who winked and turned aside its little face from the too vivid light of day; because its existence, heretofore, had brought it acquainted only with the gray twilight of a dungeon, or other darksome apartment of the prison.8. “I tell you I must go!” I retorted, roused to something like passion. “Do you think I can stay tobecome nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? – a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? –You think wrong? – I have as much soul as you, – and full as much heart! If God had gifted me with some beauty, and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: –it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal, –as we are!”9. The day what belongs to the day – at night the Party of young fellows, robust, friendly, / Singingwith open mouths their strong melodious songs.10. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be inwant of a wife.Authors:William Shakespeare: ; Daniel Defoe: ; Robert Burns: ; Walt Whitman: ;William Wordsworth: ; Jane Austen: ; Charlotte Bronte: ;Nathaniel Hawthorne: ; Mark Twain: ; Robert Frost: .Section Two (40%)Directions: Read the story and answer questions.Story of an HourBy Kate ChopinKnowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences, veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, to o, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed.” He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a secondtelegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonm ent, in her sister’s arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will – as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “Free, free, free!” The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion as trivial.She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. But she saw beyond thatbitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.And yet she had loved him – sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in the face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole, imploring for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door – you will make yourself ill. What are you doing, Louise? For heaven's sake open the door."“Go away. I am not making myself ill.” No; she was drinking in a very elixir of life through that open window.Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.She arose at length and opened the door to her sister's importunities. There was a feverish triumph in her eyes, and she carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of Victory. She clasped her sister’s waist, and together they descended the stairs. Richards stood waiting for them at the bottom.Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease – of the joy that kills.1.
