最新文学类文本阅读及答案
文学类文本阅读训练题 一、阅读下面的文字，完成1～4题。 幽怨的琵琶 蒋淑玉 ①“群山万壑赴荆门，生长明妃尚有村。一去紫台连朔漠，独留青冢向黄昏。画图省识春风面，环珮空归月夜魂……”从你负气走向匈奴的那一刻起，你的幽怨便凝固成永恒的美丽斑斓着苍白的历史，为怀才不遇的士大夫们提供了一个借古抒怀的绝妙题材。 ②不知为什么，我一直对这个被无数文人提炼出无数主题的故事心存疑惑。首先是元帝的滑稽和愚蠢。自古以来昏庸的皇帝在政治上昏庸，但在“美女”问题上常常是心明眼亮。坐在龙椅上把宫女一个个召进来看，比起找个画师对着宫女一个个地画像，然后又在画像中一张张地挑选，究竟谁更方便更直接，这是三岁小孩都十分清楚的事，偏偏元帝就这么糊涂？如果他真的老眼昏花、腐朽懒惰得连“亲自过目”的精力都没有，他还要那么多的宫女干嘛？他还花银子找画师画像干嘛？不为这样的男人所看上，乃是你最大的幸运，怎么可能“千载琵琶作胡语，分明怨恨曲中论”？如果你真的是这样的怨天尤人，不是唯利是图又是什么？这岂不是与文人们所塑造的“高洁”形象大相庭径？ ③其次是画师的贪污受贿。毛延寿有没有收受贿赂史书上没有明确的记载，但我认为，不管他受贿还是没有受贿，真正的主犯不是他，而是元帝或者替元帝出主意的那帮大臣。试想想，明摆着利用画师选美是一种画蛇添足、于事无益、滋生腐败的行为，可为什么还会在皇宫里作为制度正儿八经地制订下来？如果不是元帝自己的意思，那么一定是大臣们的“高见”。大臣为什么会出这个馊主意呢？答案很简单，那就是中饱私囊。能得到皇帝的召见就可以飞黄腾达——要得到召见就必须美——要美就必须得到画师的认可……由此推及画师这个职位就是宫中最“肥”的差事。天下的画师很多，究竟谁能得到这份差事就看画师们“八仙过海，各显其能”了！当毛延寿终于“力挫群雄”获得这个肥差时，早已经“投资”不少了。所以，他不得不在画像中收取“成本费”。这个过程叫姑息养奸。因此，当元帝怒斩画师时，该冷静地思考思考自己制订的措施。 ④第三是你的美貌。你真的就那么“倾国倾城”吗？如果是这样的话，元帝

(期中试题)高一语文文学类文本阅读（含答案） 一、（辽宁沈阳重点联合体2019-2020学年高一期中）阅读下面的文字，完成下列小题。 墨烟张 陈柳金 一日傍黑，张家院里哇地一声哭，土坯墙震落一层沙尘。婴儿落地，没听过这样大声的，且脸如包公，黑不溜秋。张父说，俺张家世代制墨，如今老天馈赠一墨宝，就叫他张秉墨吧！ 这张秉墨，天生一个玩家。六岁便能玩墨，采烟、熬胶、和墨、上模、晾晒、裱金，一整套工序下来有模有款。九岁便玩书成瘾，熟读四书五经、诸子百家，还练得一手好书画，吟咏唐诗宋词亦有腔有调。张秉墨的天空悬着一颗文曲星。 但到了十八岁，天空却变了天。参加了地下组织的张父因叛徒出卖，死于鬼子刺刀之下。张秉墨强忍一腔怒火，接过搅墨棒，墨缸里转起圈圈旋涡，搅动一百零八圈后，蒸煮成团，蓄着劲举锤敲打一百零八遍。张秉墨发誓要做条好汉，把小日本的肉剁成酱，锤打成一根根愤怒的墨条。 张家院子每天清晨依旧飞出一群白鸽，鸽群沿鹤庄盘旋一圈后，总是有一只鸽子带着张秉墨的牵挂飞离队伍。薄暮时分，那鸽子才从天空凯旋而归。张秉墨宝贝一样捧在手心，喂了食，轻轻放进笼子。 前线还是失守了，小日本洪水猛兽一样冲进庄里，打砸抢烧，把个鹤庄鼓捣成了墨缸，每个人心里都墨黑墨黑的。小日本把鹤庄小学占为指挥部，临晚集合村民训话，太军佐藤野夫说鹤庄藏有共党，自己站出来，可免全庄人死，否则通通都得死！ 村民个个岿然不动，佐藤无计可施。忽然头顶掠过一群白鸽，仰起头，鸽子送他一个见面礼。佐藤往脸上一抹，一撮腥臭的鸽屎。叭嘎，杀了它们！一阵乱枪响起，连鸽毛也不见掉下来。佐藤恼怒道，不供出来，你们，通通的当鸽子宰！ 翌日，鸽群刚回笼，张家院门被踢开，几个小日本端着枪叽里嘎啦闯进来。正在锤墨的张秉墨猛一惊。贼头贼脑的小日本乱搜一气，从笼里捉出几只白鸽。翻译给张秉墨下了命令，以后每隔三天送两只鸽子孝敬太军！ 鬼子走后，张秉墨赶紧去看鸽子，幸好那只白鸽还在，这才松了口气。入夜，他扬手放飞了那鸽。 就在这两天，有四个村民怀疑是共党分子捉进了指挥部。一向抬头做事的张秉墨把头压得老低，搅墨一百零八圈，锤墨一百零八遍。他要把张家本领亮出来，制成胳膊粗的圆条墨，当作礼物送给佐藤野夫。 转眼三天已到，张秉墨这次送给佐藤的是两只鸽子。进了门，只见佐藤呕吐不止，气喘吁吁。张秉墨细看，知他犯了夹阴伤寒，前几天吃了鸽肉大补精气，不慎便犯下此症。张秉墨说，太军，我有法子能治好你的病！佐藤如遇救星，却见他一脸乌黑，心生疑窦，但病痛难耐，只得恭听。张秉墨道，鸽屎为药引，槐角、扎参、细辛炖服。佐藤还记着上次鸽屎之恨，这次竟敢叫他吃这腥臭物，以为张秉墨捉弄他。翻译说，太军，张师傅可神了，您就信他一回吧！ 佐藤服了鸽屎和中药，翌日果然恢复如常。三天后张秉墨送来鸽子时，他竖起大拇指，你，大大的神！张秉墨说，太军，下次俺送几根大圆墨给你，俺张家墨条，不仅是书画的上等墨料，还能止血、治皮肤疮毒和腮腺炎。佐藤听了大喜，临别，差翻译送张秉墨，张秉墨悄悄塞给他一张纸条。 这晚深夜，张秉墨正要入梦，院门吱呀推开，一黑影潜了进来。是翻译窃取了日军的重要情报，内容是鬼子将于后天晚上攻打驻扎在一深山处的我军阵营。 张秉墨马上放飞那只白鸽。鸽子飞回时，也带回了我军指令——后天里应外合端掉日军指挥部。 这天傍晚，他又一次放飞了白鸽。转身去给佐藤送鸽子，这次多了几根胳膊粗的圆条墨，是他答应送给佐藤的礼物。 踏进门时，地上躺着一只流血的白鸽。佐藤凶相毕露：它，从你家飞出，你的下场……还没等他说完，门外已拥来一群鬼子。张秉墨放飞手里的白鸽，掏出嵌有炸药的圆条墨，把盖子一掀，几声巨响，佐藤野夫与鬼子不明不白地见鬼去了。 在张秉墨的葬礼上，鹤庄乡亲全都披麻戴孝。忽然一群白鸽悲鸣着从张家院子飞出，在鹤庄上空整整盘旋了一百零八圈。仪仗队前，翻译跟一战士手抬石碑大的方条墨，上书三个镏金大字：墨烟张！ （选自《短小说》，有删节） 7．下列对小说有关内容的分析和概括，最恰当的一项是（3分）（）
