记住回家的路

周国平

生活在今日的世界上，心灵的宁静不易得。这个世界既充满着机会，也充满着压力。机会诱惑人去尝试，压力逼迫人去奋斗，都使人静不下心来。我不主张年轻人拒绝任何机会，逃避一切压力，以闭关自守的姿态面对世界。年轻的心灵本不该静如止水，波澜不起。世界是属于年轻人的，趁着年轻到广阔的世界上去闯荡一番，原是人生必要的经历。所须防止的只是，把自己完全交给了机会和压力去支配，在世界上风风火火或浑浑噩噩，迷失了回家的路途。

每到一个陌生的城市，我的习惯是随便走走，好奇心驱使我去探寻这里的热闹的街巷和冷僻的角落。在这途中，难免暂时地迷路，但心中一定要有把握，自信能记起回住处的路线，否则便会感觉不踏实。我想，人生也是如此。你不妨在世界上闯荡，去建功创业，去探险猎奇，去觅情求爱，可是，你一定不要忘记了回家的路。这个家，就是你的自我，你自己的心灵世界。

寻求心灵的宁静，前提是首先要有一个心灵。在理论上，人人都有一个心灵，但事实上却不尽然。有一些人，他们永远被外界的力量左右着，永远生活在喧闹的外部世界里，未尝有真正的内心生活。对于这样的人，心灵的宁静就无从谈起。一个人惟有关注心灵，才会因为心灵被扰乱而不安，才会有寻求心灵的宁静之需要。所以，具有过内心生活的禀赋，或者养成这样的习惯，这是最重要的。有此禀赋或习惯的人都知道，其实内心生活与外部生活并非互相排斥的，同一个人完全可能在两方面都十分丰富。区别在于，注重内心生活的人善于把外部生活的收获变成心灵的财富，缺乏此种禀赋或习惯的人则往往会迷失在外部生活中，人整个儿是散的。自我是一个中心点，一个人有了坚实的自我，他在这个世界上便有了精神的坐标，无论走多远都能够找到回家的路。换一个比方，我们不妨说，一个有着坚实的自我的人便仿佛有了一个精神的密友，他无论走到哪里都带着这个密友，这个密友将忠实地分享他的一切遭遇，倾听他的一切心语。

如果一个人有自己的心灵追求，又在世界上闯荡了一番，有了相当的人生阅历，那么，他就会逐渐认识到自己在这个世界上的位置。世界无限广阔，诱惑永无止境，然而，属于每一个人的现实可能性终究是有限的。你不妨对一切可能性保持着开放的心态，因为那是人生魅力的源泉，但同时你也要早一些在世界之海上抛下自己的锚，找到最适合自己的领域。一个人不论伟大还是平凡，只要他顺应自己的天性，找到了自己真正喜欢做的事，并且一心把自己喜欢做的事做得尽善尽美，他在这世界上就有了牢不可破的家园。于是，他不但会有足够的勇气去承受外界的压力，而且会有足够的清醒来面对形形色色的机会的诱惑。我们当然没有理由怀疑，这样的一个人必能获得生活的充实和心灵的宁静。

4．周国平的文章淡泊中蕴含着积极，平实中闪烁智慧，给人启迪。请结合上下文理解第④ 节中画线句子的含义，并举出一例作为事实论据。

答：一个人找到最适合自己的领域，并为此不断努力，追求尽善尽美，就能坚守自我的精神

家园，获得生活的充实和心灵的宁静。“镭的母亲”居里夫人，毕生从事科学研究，两度获得诺贝尔奖，她淡然面对荣誉，把奖章作为女儿的玩具。她抵御物质诱惑，坚守心灵家园，致力于科学探索。

5．请你阅读下面两段材料并联系本文，写出你的探究结论。

（1）春节联欢晚会上，陈红演唱的《 常回家看看》 ，一夜之间就传播了大江南北；听肴优美的萨克斯乐曲《 回家》 ，总会让天涯游子油然而生思乡之情。

（2）在他心里，国为重，家为轻，科学最重，名利最轻。五年归国路，十年两弹成。开创祖国航天，他是先行人．披荆斩棘，把智慧锻造成阶梯，留给后来的攀登者。

答：人们应该关注生活家园，也应该更多地关注精神家园，只有找到精神家园，才能活得充实，才能像钱学森那样找到适合自己的领域，抵挡得住名利诱惑，公而无私，投身于祖国的事业，把自己喜欢做的事做得尽善尽美。

 

第二篇：阅读理解及答案

29.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.It may be walking, cycling or swimming,or in winter,skating or skiing.It may be game of some kind football,hockey,golf,or tennis.It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,and to take risks on high mountains? This astonsihment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no man-made rules,as there are for such games as golf and football.There are , of course,rules of adifferent kind which it would be dangerous to ignore,but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are ,it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend,there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport tequires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty,and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties.But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps.They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort,and their certianly experience equal enjoyment.1.Mountaineering involves____.a.coldb.hardshipc.physical riskd.all of the above2.The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of _____.a.activityb.rulesc.uniformd.participants3.Mountaineering can be called a team sport because_____.a.it is an Olympic eventb.teams compete against each otherc.mountaineers depend on other while climbingd.there are 5 climbers on each team4.Mountaineers compete against______.a.natureb.each otherc.other teamsd.international standards5.Choose the best title for the passage_______.a.mountaineering is different from golf and footballb.mountaineering is more attractive than other sportsc.mountaineeringd.mountain climbers参考答案：d b c a

c30. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the united Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something tht happens to other people:as we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains.How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fuly appreciate what the severely disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.1.The first paragraph points out that______.a.there are many disabled people in the worldb.the number of disabled people in India is the greatestc.India has much more disabled people that Canadad.it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people2.The key word in paragraph 4 is _____.A.disabilityb.ignorancec.prejudiced.barriers3.The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means_____.a.is most importantb.is consideredc.is includedd.is numbered4.Which of the following statements is not true?a.even the able-bodied many lose some of their body functions when they get older.b.there are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.c.the whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled peopled.there still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance5.It can be concluded from the passage that____.a.we should try our best to prevent disablementb.both physical and metal barriers are hard to break downc.we just take a proper attitude towards the disabledd.the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabled

参考答案：a d a d c31.Courses with the numbers 800 or above are open only to graduate students.Certain courses,generally those devoted to introductory material,are numbered 400 for undergraduate students and 600 for graduate students. Courses designed for students seeking a professional degree carry a 500 number for undergraduate students and a 700 munber for graduate students.A full-time graduate student is expected to take courses which total ten to sixteen credit hours. Students holding assistantships are expected to enroll for proportionately fewer hours.A part-time graduate student must register for a minimun of five credit hours.1.In order to be eligible to enroll in Mechanical Engineering 850,a student must be ______.a.a graduate studentb.a part-time studentc.a full-time studentd.an undergraduate student2.If an undergraduate student uses the number 520 to register for an accounting course,what number would a graduate student probably use to register for the same course?a.accounting 520b.accounting 620c.accounting 720d.accounting 8203.A student who register for eight credit hours is a ______.a.full-time studentb.graduate studentc.part-time studentd.non-degree student4.A graduate student may not _____a.enroll in a course numbered 610b.register for only one three-hour coursec.register for courses if he has an assistantshipd.enroll in an introductory course参考答案：a c c b33.There is evidence that the usual variety of high blood pressure is,in part,a familiar disease.Since families have similar genes as well as similar environments,familiar diseases could be due to shared genetic influences,to shared environmental factors,or to both.For some years,the role of one environmental factor commonly shared by families,namely dietary salt(i.e.,sodium chloride),has been studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory.These studies suggest that chromic excess salt ingestion can lead to high blood pressure in man and animals.Some individuals,however,and some rats consume large amounts of salt without developing high blood pressure.No matter how strictly all environmental factors were controlled in these experiments,some salt-fed animals never developed hypertension whereas a few rapidly developed very severe hypertension followed by early death.These marked variations were interpreted to result from differences in genetic constitution.By mating is successive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion,a resistant strain(the "R" Strain)has been evolved in which consumption of large quantities of salt f

ails to influence the blood pressure significantly.In contrast,by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt,a sensitive strain("S" strain)has also been developed.The availability of these tow strains permits investgations not heretofore possible.They provide a plausible laboratory model on which to investigate some clinical aspects of the human prototypes of hypertension.More important,there might be the possibility of developing methods by which genetic susceptibility of human beings to high blood pressure can be defined without waiting for its appearance.Radioactive sodium 22 was an important "tool" in working out the characteristics of the sodium chloride metabolism.1.The study of the effects of salt on high blood pressure was carried out ______.a.as members of the same family tend to use similar amounts of saltb.to explore the long-term use of a sodium based substancec.because it was proven that salt caused high blood pressured.because of the availability of chemically pure salt and its derivatives2.The main difference between "S" and "R" rats is their ______.a.need for sodium 22 b.rate of matingc.reaction to saltd.type of blood3.We can infer from the article that sodium 22 can de used to ______.a.control high blood pressureb.cure high blood pressure caused by saltc.tell the "S" rats from the "R" ratsd.determine what a sodium chloride metabolism is like4.The most beneficial results of the research might be ______.a.development of diets free of saltb.an early cure for high blood pressurec.control of genetic agents that cause high blood pressured.the early identification of potential high blood pressure victims5.Which of the statements best relates the main idea of this article?a.When salt is added rats and human beings react similarly.b.The near future will see a cure for high blood pressure.c.The medical field is desperately in need of research.d.A tendency toward high blood pressure may be a hereditary factor.参考答案：a c d d d34."Culture shock" occurs as result of total immersion in a new culture.It happens to "people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad."Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language,know the customs,or understand people's behavior in daily life.The visitor finds that "yes" may not always mean "yes",that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes.The foreigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The notion of "culture shock" helps explain feelings of bewilderment an

d disorientation.Language problems do not account for all the frustrations that people feel.When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes,or knowing how to make friends,difficulties in coping whth the new society may arise."...when an individual enters a strange culture,he or she is like fish out of water."Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of the culture.When this happens visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and exaggerate the positive aspects of their own culture.Conversely visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with(if only temporatily)the value of the new country.This may occur as an attempt to over-identify with the new culture in order to be accepted by the people in it.1.The expression "he or she is like fish out of water"suggests ______.a.people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new cultureb.a fish can not survive without waterc.people away from their culture experience mental isolationd.people away from their culture have difficulties in new environment2.In order to identify with the new environment,some people may ______.a.give an exaggerated picture of their own countryb.criticize the positive aspects of their own countyc.abandon their original beliefsd.accept a temporary set of values3.Which of the following statements is true according to the author?a.Perplexity results in culture shock.b.A typical symptom of cultur shock is confusion.c.Culture shock is the explanation of anxiety.d.Culture shock happens to foreign students only.4.Newcomer may worry about ______.a.their ignorance of the alien customsb.their knowledge of "Yes" in the native languagec.their understanding of friendshipd.their control of their behavior5.When the foreign visitor is immersed in new problems he finds hard to cope whith,he is most likely to feel ______.a.uninsuredb.deprivedc.alienatedd.baffled参考答案：c d a d b35.Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these f

actors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.1.The passage is mainly discussing __________ .a.the necessity of social changeb.certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occurc.two different societiesd.certain factors that promote social change2.______ is one of the factors that tend to promote social change.a.Joint interest b.Different points of viewc.Less emotional people d.Advanced technology3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?a.Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.b.Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change.c.Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.d.Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.4.The expression "greater tolerance"(paragraph 1) refers to _____ .a."greater willingness to accept social change"b."quicker adaptation to changing circumstances"c."more respect for different beliefs and behavior"d."geeater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas"5.Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because ________ .a.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to changeb.people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much difficultyc.people there are easy to pleased.people there are

less disputed参考答案：b b b c a36.The Colonel ask Ashenden a good many questions and then suggested that he had particular qualifications for the Secret Service. Ashenden knew several European languages and the fact that he was a writer provided excellent cover: on the pretext that he was writing a book he could, without attracting attention, visit any neutral country.It was while they were discussing this point that the Colonel said,"You know you might get material that would be very useful to you in your work. I'll tell you an incident that occurred only recently. Very dramatic. A foreign government minister went down to a Mediterranean resort to fecover from a cold and he had some very important documents with him that he kept in a despatchcase."A day or two after he arrived, he picked up a blonde at some restaurant or other, and he got very friendly with her. He took her back to his hotel, and when he came to himself in the morning the lady and the despatch-case had disappeared. They had one or two drinks up in his room and his theory is that when his back was turned the woman slipped a drug in his glass.""Do you mean to say that happened the other day?"said Ashenden wearily."The week before last.""Impossible,"cried Ashenden. "Why, we've been putting that incident on the stage for sixty years, we've written it in a thousand novels. Do you mean to say that life has only just caught up with us?""Well, I can vouch for the truth of the story." said the Colonel, "And believe me, the government concerned has been put to no end of trouble by the loss of the documents.""Well sir, if you can't do better than that in the Secret Service," sighed Ashenden, "that I'm afraid that as a source of inspiration to the writer of fiction, it's washout."1.How did the Colonel suggest that Ashenden's being a writer would relate to his work as a spy?a.It would make travelling abroad more possible.b.It would make it easier for him to meet people.c.It would enable him to avoid arousing suspicion.d.It would enable him to use the languages he knew.2.The reason for the Minister's trip was ________ .a.to fetch some documentsb.to get over an illnessc.to meet a spyd.to deliver some papers3.According to the Colonel the incident happened _______ .a.a few days beforeb.a few weeks before c.two weeks befored.sixty years before4.Ashenden cried 'Impossible' after hearing the Colonel's story because he thought ______ .a.it could not possibly happenb.it was too embarrassingc.it was too close to fiction d.it was too recent5.The effect of the loss of documents on the foreign government was that

_______ .a.it put an end to one source of troubleb.it caused them a lot of inconveniencec.they merely denied it had happenedd.they refused to believe it参考答案：c b c c d37.The United States is a federal union of 50 states.The capital of national government is in Washington,D.C.(District of Columbia).The federal constitution sets up the structures of the national government and lists its powers and activities.The constitution gives Congress the authority to make laws which are necessary for the common defense and the good of the nation.It also gives the federal government the power to deal with national and international problems that involve more than one state.All powers that are not given to the federal government by the constitution are the responsibility of the individual states.The federal government has three branches--the executive,the legislative,and the judicial.The legislative brandch makes the laws,executive branch carries out the laws,and judicial branch interprets the laws.The President heads the executive branch and the Supreme Court heads the judicial branch.The legislative branch includes both houses of Congress--the Senate and the House of Reprsentatives.The constitution limits the powers of each branch and prevents one branch from gaining too much power.For example,Congress can pass a Law the President may sign it.Nevertheless,the Supreme Court can declare the law unconstitutional and nullify it.All government in the United States is "of the people,by the people and for the people".The people elect the President and the members of Congress.However,the President appoints the heads of federal departments and the Supreme Court judges.Every citizen votes in secret.Consequently,no one knows for whom and indevidual votes.The people believe that their government should provide a frameword and order within which they are left free to run their own lives.1.Who makes the laws?a.The Congress. b.The Federal government.c.The President.d.The supreme Court.2.The capital of the United States lies in _____.a.the state of the COlumbiab.none of the fifty statesc.the state of New Yorkd.the state of Washington3.Based on what you can know from the passage,which of the following statements is true?a.The heads of federal departments are elected by the people.b.The President sets up the structures of the federal government.c.The judicial branch has the authority to explain the laws.d.The constitution gives all powers to the federal government.4.The constitution limits the powers of each branch of the federal government because _____.a.the U.S. has fifty statesb.the individual states have their own governments

c.the federal government has three branchesd.any one branch should not have too much power5.The main point of this passage is ______.a.the three branches of the U.S. governmentb.American governmentc.the Federal ConsititutionD.the people should be left free to run their own lives参考答案：a b c d b38.40 Years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville,England in 1984 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Gernamy,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just tow teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings,things have developed fast.Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games,although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendshiop and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athlets should not be excluded.1.The first games for the desabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.a.40 yearsb.21 yearsc.10 years d.9 years2.Besides Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.a.New Yorkb.Londonc.Romed.Los Angeles3.In Paragraph 3,the word "athletes" means _____.a.people who support the gamesb.people who watch the gamesc.people who organize the gamesd.people who compete in the games4.Which of the following statements in NOT true?a.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.b.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.c.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.d

.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.5.From the passage,we may conclude that the writer is _____.a.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledb.a disabled person who once took part in the gamesc.against holding the games for the disabledd.in favour of holding the games for the disabled参考答案：cbccb39.Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University,first had a problem taking tests when she began college."I was always well prepared for my tests.Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test.Yet I would go in to take the test,only to find I could not answer the questions correctly.I would blank out because of nervousness and fear.I couldn't think of the answer.My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology and similar experiences.He said ,"My first chemistry test was very difficult.Then,on the second test,I sat down to take it,and I was so nervous that I was shaking.My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil.I knew the materical and I knew the answers.Yet I couldn't even writen them down!"These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety.Because a student worries and it uneasy about a test,his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does.The student can't write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness.Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits,sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades.Recently,test anxiety had been recognized as a real problem,not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university counseling courses try to help students.In these courses,counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety.At some universities,students take tests to measure their anxiety.If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension.These courses teach students how to relax their bodies.Students are trained to become calm in bery tense situations.By controlling their nervousness,they can let their minds work at ease .Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains."With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking out program.Most of then experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement.With some,the improvement is very great."1.To "blank out" is probably______.a.to be like a blanketb.to be sure of an answerc.to be unable to think clearlyd.to show knowledge to the teacher2.Poor grades are usually the result of _______.a.poor hygienic habitsb.lazinessc.lack of sleepd.inability to f
