上海市各区2017年高考二模语文试卷分类汇编：现代文阅读二宝山（青浦）区（二）阅读下文，完成第9-12题。

（15分）野草的呼吸迟子建①去年三月，雪花还未从北方收脚，寒流仍环绕冰城、不识相地穿街走巷时，盼春心切的我，一头扎进哈尔滨城郊的室内花卉市场，在姹紫嫣红的花中，选购了几盆色彩艳丽的四季海棠，抱回家中。

②这一簇簇的海棠花儿，在窗前，在桌畔，就像迎春的爆竹，等待点燃。

而悄无声息燃响它们的，就是阳光了。

在最初的一周，它们在日光中心思透明地大炫姿容，开得火爆。

粉色的比朝霞还要明媚，鹅黄的娇嫩得赛过柳芽，橘色的仿佛通身流着蜜，火红的透着葡萄酒般的醇香，让人有啜饮的欲望。

③居室春意盈盈，叫人愉悦。

每日晨起，我都做早课似的，先赏花儿。

我喝一杯凉白开，也给它们灌上一点生水。

也许是浇水频繁的缘故吧，十多天后，我发现粉色的四季海棠首先烂了根，花儿做了噩梦似的，花瓣边缘浮现出黑边，像是生了黑眼圈。

鹅黄的四季海棠叶片萎靡，花朵也蔫了。

我以为它们缺乏营养，于是又浇花卉营养液。

可不管我怎样挽留，四季海棠去意已定，没有一盆不烂根的了，花茎接二连三倒伏，那一团团花朵，自绝于青春似的，香销玉殒。

我只得清理了残花败叶，沮丧地将花盆摞起，扔在阳台一角。

④时隔多日，暮春时分，一个午后，我去阳台晒衣服，无意间低头，发现这摞花盆的最上一盆，有银线似的东西在闪光。

我凑近一看，原来是一棵细若游丝的草，从干硬的土里飞．出来了!它已生长了一段时日了吧，有半根筷子长了。

因为是在板结如水泥般的土里顽强钻出来的，缺光少水，它看上去病恹恹的，单细不说，草色也极为黯淡。

⑤我想一棵草再折腾，也开不出花儿来，所以感慨一番，浇了点水，算是善待了它，由它去了。

⑥那期间我忙于装修新居，忙于外出开会，在家时虽也去阳台舀米取面，晾衣晒被，但哪会顾及一棵草的命运呢。

它就在无人的角落中，挣扎着活。

直到七月下旬我参加香港书展归来，打扫阳台时，才发现它已成了气候。

盆中的野草不是一棵，而是七八棵了，它们相互搀扶着，努力向上，疏朗有致，绿意荡漾。

科幻作品的价值①近几年，随着刘慈欣的《三体》获雨果奖，以及《黑客帝国》《阿凡达》等科幻电影迸发出炽烈的“科幻热”，科幻作品拥有了数量庞大的受众，但这依然未能改变科幻作品的尴尬地位：它既不是科学领域的主流，也不是文学领域的主流，而是被大部分国人习惯看作“科普读物”沉沦在边缘状态。

如何定位科幻作品，我们似乎应该厘清一个基本问题：科幻作品的价值到底是什么？②1866年，人们在海上发现了一只被称为“独角鲸”的大怪物，生物学家阿龙纳斯应邀参加了捕捉这只“怪物”的行动。

（17分）经典谁说了算王乾坤①很难说我们所处的是一个“去经典”还是“趋经典”的时代。

有一点可以肯定，这是一个不太吝啬“经典”名词的时代。

那么，什么是经典？经典由谁说了算？②通常的回答是：权威说了算或大众说了算。

但深通艺术之堂奥的人既不看重权势的眼色，也不在意大众的褒贬，他们心里明白：权威认定、大众评判也许不可或缺，但一切有形的人为裁判只有在文学合法性的前提下，才可能是有效的。

换言之，他们在乎的或敬畏的，是文学本身的法权。

③文学的自然法不是任何一种成文的文学法则，而是一种无形的天则。

“俯察人事，仰观天则．．．．。

”人事俯身可察，天则是需要仰观的。

由“自然法”来言事物的合法性本是天经地义。

可是在文明史上，天经地义的天则被各种偏见所干扰反倒成了常态。

五花八门的政治观、道德观、科学观、文化观、历史观以种种集体偶像的强势向文学越权，任意在这个领域封号经典，成了由来已久的“常态”。

④现当代，影响文学创作和评论的有两种思潮：一是认为世界是按照优胜劣汰的进化论定律演进的，二是认为权力可以决定一切。

这两种思潮交合成一种集体无意识：优胜在于权力，劣汰在于无权力。

于是，话语权如拜物教一般左右着创作家和评论家，从事文学艺术的匠人们使出浑身解数，不顾一切地调动可能的权力让自己的声音足够强大，最好是压倒一切成为中心。

经典史，只要检索一些古今中外文学巨匠们弱势的社会身份或话语权状况就能验证。

⑥那么进入文苑的小说多得是，为什么能被认定经典的是此而不是彼？是谁在进行这种无形的筛选？答案只能在文学合法性中寻求。

以《红楼梦》为例，王国维们的鼓吹改变了这部小说的接受史，乃至现代“红学”横空出世。

The ones marching acrossmy kitchen counter looked so confident; I just figured they had a plan, knewwhere they were going and what needed to be done. How else could antsorganize highways, build elaborate nests, launch impressive attacks, and do allthe other things ants do?Turns out I was wrong. Ants aren’t clever little engineers, architects, or soldiers after all --- at least not as individuals. When it comes to deciding what to do next, most ants don’t have a clue. “If you watch an ant try to accomplish something, you’ll be impressed by how awkward it is,” says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University.“Ants aren’t smart,” Gordon says. “Ant colonies are.” A colony can solve problems un thinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, assigning workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called collective intelligence.Where this intelligence comes from raises an essential question in nature: How do the simple actions of individual ants add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honey-bees make a critical decision about their hive (蜂巢)if many of them disagree? The collective abilities of such animals --- one of which grasps the big picture, but each of which contributes to the group’s success --- seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with fascinating insights.56.The author’s former false impression about ants is that he thought them to be _______.A. smartB. awkwardC. elaborateD. creative57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Ants will function as a single body once a decision is made by the commander.B. Ants are the only species which developed collective intelligence.C. The ant queen plays a role in managing ant workers besides laying eggs.D. An individual ant can’t comprehend the whole process of a big movement.58.The paragraph following the passage will most probably deal with _______.A. where we can observe such fantastic behavior of antsB. which is the leading ant in charge of the actionC. how the collective intelligence worksD. what inspiration can be drawn from the collective abilitiesBThe idea of using radio or wireless to broadcast to audiences was formed in 1916 by a president of the American Marconi Company, David Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtfulabout his idea to “make radio a household cause, so that by purchase of a ‘radio music box’,the audience could enjoy lectures, music performance, etc.”Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at W E Corp, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts. A local music store had provided records to play on the Victoria, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys(唱片音乐播音员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter(发射台)in time to announce the outcome of the next US presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1000 people heard this first news broadcast.Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years. To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufactures provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedians, and entire orchestras volunteered their services for publicity. The eventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One group in New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners while others urged that private foundations support radio stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF (now WNBC) in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium had a practicable industry, and it became a national forum(论坛)for news and popular culture.59.The passage is mainly concerned with _______.A. the contribution of radio to popular cultureB. the invention and uses of radioC. early radio programs for a mass audienceD. the history of radio broadcasting60.Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience?A. Frank ConradB. David SarnoffC. Harry DavisD. Warren Harding61.After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because _______.A. people could easily get it in storesB. it was cheaper than newspapersC. it had advantages over newspapersD. people were interested in anything new62.By saying that “the eventual financial basis of the new industry was still unclear”, the author meansthat _______.A. the private foundations were unwilling to support the stationsB. the stations were not sure yet where to get the operational moneyC. advertising and commercial programs could not raise enough moneyD. the listeners would not pay for the broadcasting stationsCIt could be said that the age of adventure peaked with Sir Everest Shackletonthe moment his ship, the Endurance, become hopelessly locked in ice on its way toAntarctica in January 1915. For ten months the 28 men aboard Shackleton’s shipwaited and prayed for ice to break. When it finally did, the Endurance sank, leavingthe crew homeless and adrift on a sea of ice in one of the world’s most dangerousenvironments.In January 2000 a luxury ocean liner found itself similarly trapped in the coldwaters off Antarctica. Argentine authorities sent off an icebreaker straight away fromthe nearest naval base, and in 24 hours, all 176 passengers and crew were free. Thetour company’s spokesperson spun the potential disaster as a value-added reward in extreme travel. “The people on board are looking at this as sort of a great adventure,” she said.Ever since Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air made Everest a household name, the subculture of adventure has blown up like a Himalayan avalanche(雪崩) into public consciousness. Magazines promise “extreme” content, television, offers adventure programs, and the growing collective f ascination with adventure has produced a flow of published accounts about the world’s greatest adventurous journey. Nowadays more and more people are interested in adventure and this mass appeal makes good business sense. Today the only thing blocking a would-be adventurer’s passage to Antarctica is the cost---- which typically runs well over $10,000.Despite very different implications, adventure was just as popular in Shackleton’s time. He has little trouble filling the Endurance----5,000 men are said to have responded to his recruitment(招募) notice: “Men wanted for risky journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful.”After five months drifting on ice, the crew were forced to take to their lifeboats to Elephant Island. Reaching the wasteland, Shackleton went on with one lifeboat and five of his best men 1,300 kilometers across the bone-chilly Scotia Sea to South Georgia Island. Shivering with cold, dressed in rags, Shackleton marched into a whaling station and set about organizing a rescue expedition to Elephant Island. Almost two years after becoming shipwrecked on ice, Shackleton picked up his crew. “Not a life lost, and we have been through hell,” he remarked earnestly.63.We can learn from the first sentence of this passage that _______.A. the age of adventure began with the ship Endurance trapped in iceB. Shackleton’s adventure marked the highest point of pure explorationC. the age of adventure ended with the ship Endurance trapped in iceD. Shackleton’s adventure predicted that the golden age of exploration was approaching64.The word “spun” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_______”.A. summed upB. judgedC. boasted aboutD. referred to65.Since Jon Krakauer’s book was pub lished _______.A. the media have got interested in the topic of adventureB. the costs of extreme travel have gone upC. Everest has got its name known to EuropeD. people have got fascinated by Himalayan avalanches66.The adventure in Shackleton’s time has different implications from today’s in that _______.A. Shackleton’s adventure lasted longer then any other adventure nowadaysB. n o one was missing during Shackleton’s adventureC. Shackleton’s adventure was entirely for the sake of adventureD. Shackleton enrolled volunteers more easilySection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.1. You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t.(67)________________________ You think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.2. The road to financial regret is paved with debt. Some debt, such as a mortgage, is OK. But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of pleasure that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.3. I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. (68) ________________________ These are essential survival skills.4. If you’re like most people, you’ll spend most of your adult life thinking, “Once I’ve saved/earned $X, everything will be great.” Then you’ll hit $X, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It’s a miserable cycle. Your goals should be about more than money.5. Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re twice that age. (These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.)6. The best thing money buys is to control over your time. (69) ________________________ One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.7. Change your mind when you need to. I’ve noticed a tendency for people to think they’ve mastered investing when they’re young. They start investing at age 18 and think they have it all figured out by age 19. They never do.8. Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into flourishing economies; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.9. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending.(70) __________________________.10. Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the on e I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. (On the other hand, always listen to your mother.)IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Meet The Member Who Quit SugarWhen I was 15, I weighed 100 kg.I was a size 20+ and hated the way I looked. I was a serial big eater and quite depressed. I would sit in front of the fridge, eat something, move to the cupboard, eat a packet of chips, and move back to the fridge.It was a heartbreaking cycle of hate and food. I didn’t feel confident, pretty, or worthwhile.Shopping made me cry, I avoided mirrors, and my social life came to an end. I actually lost friends because they told me I was antisocial. It became so bad that I wanted to abuse myself; my skin and my mind became my enemy.But then, I turned my life around. I quit sugar.It started with my mum. She staged an intervention (干预) that made me cry. I wanted to change - I needed to change - and she could see how unhappy I was.She put me onto a diet that mostly aimed to schedule meals, and - to my shock horror - cut out all processed sugar. It was so hard at first. I remember the shame of sneaking chocolate and candies when the three o’clock hunger hits.But the weeks kept coming and it just got easier. I stopped eating sugar, and I stopped loving it; simple as that.I substituted chips and biscuits for fruit and nuts, and had cup-of-soups after school when I was hit by the desire. I also had more energy, having a 20-minute walk with my dog into my everyday routine; I began to love that personal time.Cutting out sugar gave me so much more control over my body, and my outlook on life improved. So many people are intimidated by the words “quit sugar”. It’s not true. Fruit, honey, et cetera are natural sugars, and believe me, they fuel you better than chocolate bars ever could.Now I’m 17, turning 18, and I weigh 70 kg. I still struggle with my weight, but this is where I sit naturally, and I am very proud of myself. I never thought I would be confident enough to wear dresses or skirts, and take leadership roles to put myself out there and develop my social skills.I could never have done it without the support of my friends and family, and I urge everyone who wants to do right by themselves and change their diet - quitting sugar or otherwise - to share their decision with people. Develop a support network, online or offline, which can offer you advice or pick you up when you’re down. And I can assure you, from my own personal experience, your body will thank you, and you will thank yourself too.V.
