高原，我的中国色

乔　良

东亚细亚的腹地，一派空旷辽远，触目惊心的苍黄。连那条从巴颜喀拉的山岩间夺路而来的大河，也暴烈地流泻着一川黏稠的黄色！这就是高原。黄土高原。

浑黄的天地间，走来一个黄皮肤的老者。看不清他的面孔，听不清他的声音，只有那被黄土染成褐色的长髯在被太阳喷成紫色的浮尘中飘拂……老者身后，逶迤着长长、长长一列只在身体的隐秘处裹着兽皮的男人和女人。

一棵巨大的柏树，便在这人群中生下根来。所有黄皮肤的男人女人和他们的后人，都把这巨树唤作轩辕柏。它的根须像无数手指抠进黄土，扎向地心，用力合抱住整个儿的高原。

始皇帝横扫六合的战车，汉高祖豪唱大风的猛士，倚在驼峰上西出阳关的商旅，打着呼哨、浑身酒气的成吉思汗的铁骑，和五午年的岁月一道，从这金子样的高原上骄傲地走过去，走过去，直到……

暮云垂落下来，低矮的天地尽头，走来一个小小的黑点。一个军人。

他站在一架冲沟纵横、褶皱斑驳的山梁上。残阳把他周身涂成一色金黄。他伸出手臂，出神地欣赏着自己的皮肤。金黄的晖光从手臂上滑落下去，掉在高原上。一样的颜色。他想，我的肤色和高原一样。

豪迈的西风从长空飒然而至。他的衣襟和裤角同时低唱起暗哑而粗犷的古歌。刹那间，他获得了人与天地自然，与遥远的初民时代那种无缝无隙的交合。是一种虚空又充实，疏朗又密集，渺小又雄大的感觉。

他不禁微微一笑。然而，只一笑，那难以言喻的快感消退了。渐渐塞满胸壑的，是无边的冷寞，莫名的苍凉。竟然没有一只飞鸟，竟然没有一丛绿草。只有我，他想。我和高原。于是他又想，这冷漠、这苍凉不仅仅属于我，还属于遗落在高原上的千年长史。

畏惧盗寇的商贾们抛离了驼队踩出的丝绸古道。面对异族的武夫们丢弃了千里烽燧和兵刃甲胃。一路凄惶，簇拥着玉辇华盖，偏安向丰盈又富庶的南方。那叫人柔肠寸断的杏花雨呵，竟把炎黄子民们孔武剽悍的魂魄和膂力一并溶化！而历史，却在某个迷茫的黄昏，被埋进深深的黄土。

他感到胸口有一团东西被揪得发疼。他想喊。他想站到最高的那架山梁上去，对着苍茫的穹窿嘶喊：难道华夏民族所有的武士，都走进了始皇陵兵马俑的行列？

没有风。没有声息。高原沉默着。

一块没有精壮和血性汉子的土地是悲哀的。

他想起了他那些戴着立体声耳机、抱着六弦琴横穿斑马线的兄弟们。他们全都身条瘦长，脸色煞白，像一根根垂在瓜架上的丝瓜。他们要去参加这一年中的第三百六十七次家庭舞会了吧？他们的迪斯科跳得真好。他们忧郁的歌声真动人。但，他们只从银幕上见过高原和黄土。他们不知道紫外线直射进皮肤和毛孔时的滋味，更不知道那黄土堆成的高原上埋着的古中国。

可那才是中国，那才叫中国。在病榻上呻吟了八百年，又被人凌辱了二百年的，不是真正的中国。真正的中国是闪着丝绸之光、敦煌之光、修筑起长城，开凿出运河，创造了道教，融合了佛教，同化了一支支异族入侵者的中国。

真正的中国是一条好汉。这裸着青筋、露着傲骨的高原也是一条好汉。

他想，我也该是这样的汉子。

他想，有了这样的男子汉，高原，这金子似的高原便不会死去。因为轩辕柏在这里扎着一根粗大的、深邃的根茎。

这个人，这个军人，就是我。

这篇散文中作者设置的“轩辕柏”有什么象征意义？请结合阅读材料简要分析。

“是一种虚实又充实，疏朗又密集，渺小又雄大的感觉。”作者将褒贬之词同时用来描写这种感觉，这是一种什么样的感觉？“他”为什么会产生这样的感觉？

文章结尾说：“这个人，这个军人，就是我。”一句中与上文哪一句照应？怎样理解其中的“我”？请你谈谈作者在文中如何渲染与张扬着自己的情绪?

下列对文章的赏析，不正确的两项是       （    ）

    A．“残阳把他周身涂成一色金黄”，他为自己有着与“金子样的高原”同样的颜色而自豪，就是他为做一个中国人而骄傲。

    B．“他”站在黄土高原上，看到“竟然没有一只飞鸟，竟然没有一丛绿草”，深感植被破坏严重，内心无比冷寞，苍凉。

    C．丰盈富庶的南方，柔肠寸断的杏花雨象征了温柔安逸、没有血性的土地，销磨了一代代中国人慷慨悲歌之气，积极进取之心。

    D．“他”想呼喊，仅仅因为现代人的苍白无知，压得他几乎喘不过气来。所以他的大声呐喊是希望唤回高原的血性来。

    E．全文语言铿锵有力，掷地有声，在凛然傲气中又渗透着无限的历史苍凉感，如同一幅黄昏时分的画卷，述说着遥远的历史又翘首期待着美好的明天。

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids but we made them worse. For my naughty boys, I’d know better. I’d really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would.
My cherished boys, I hope you learn humility (谦逊) by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl (爬) under the covers (被子) with you because he’s scared, I hope you’ll let him. And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him.
　　I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books, and when you learn to use computers, you also learn how to add and subtract (减) in your head.
May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole (旗杆). I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don’t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won’t like it.
I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle.
I hope your father punishes you when you throw a baseball through a neighbor’s window, and that your mother hugs you and kisses you when you give her a plaster of pared mold (一个石膏模型) of your hand.
　 These things I wish for you—tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.
【小题1】Who wrote the letter?

New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams. While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome (黑白画面)．

　 “It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed，” said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.

　 Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams were in black and white. But the tide turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contained some color. Since this period also marked the transition (过渡) between black?and?white film and TV and Technicolor (特艺彩色), an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people's dreams. However, there weren't any firm conclusions.

　 But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and the others under 25.She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.

　 She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under?25s' dreams were black and white. The over?55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent. But the over?55s who only had access to black?and?white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.

　 Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.

　 The crucial time is between 3 and 10 when we all begin to have the ability to dream, she said.
