【题目】Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music.

【题目】【真题展示】

（2016年高考上海卷）阅读下文，完成下列各小题。

湖殇熊久红

①当一双脚站在干涸的湖底的时候，其实，那种心痛的感觉，就像是自己踩在了自己的骨头上。

②我说的是，在西部腹地，看着被戈壁荒漠一寸寸吞噬掉的艾比湖；我说的是，面对一片白色的盐碱，以及狂风掠过时卷起的漫漫沙尘。

③对湖而言，它首先带给我们的，应该是那粼粼的波光，是鸥鸟的翔鸣，是蓝天白云的倒映，是渔歌唱晚的恬静，这些特征是湖带给我们的生活体验，也是湖应有的生命品质。而我脚下的艾比湖，正在丧失这些青春，就像一个散失了光鲜的干瘪水果，躺成一汪奄奄一息的物证，那些越来越多从湖底裸露出来的丑陋的盐碱污泥，总是让我联想到一具行将风干的木乃伊，一个湖的木乃伊。

④青年时期的艾比湖有着1200平方公里的水面；有着几万乃至十几万只野鸭水鸟嬉戏的场面；有着浩浩荡荡芦苇环卫的辽阔水域；有着长河落日大漠孤烟的宁静致远。这些深深的怀念，使得我对眼前的景象，有着撕心裂肺的悲怆。

⑤在蛮荒的疆域里安插一个湖，应该是上帝对自己分配不公的一个补偿，她带给我们的是对绝望灵魂的抚慰，是对生存状态的重估，是能枕着入眠的一个梦境，而这个梦，曾经真真实实地存在过，在记忆的回望里，碧波荡漾。

⑥那是八十年代中期，一直对巴金的《海上日出》心存缱绻，期待感受红日出海的璀璨景象。新疆离海太远，使只好以湖的的水域，模仿海的苍茫了。从首府放暑假回来，邀几位同学，骑车六十里，去艾比湖看日出，以弥补对海的贫瘠和渴望。

⑦由于道路的崎岖到湖边时，太阳早已三尺竿头了。虽没赶上看日出，却被眼前一望无际、绵延至深的芦苇荡所震撼，清风拂过，波涛汹涌。一如百万雄兵拥围着这一城的浩淼，湖的浅滩上，密密麻麻布满了野鸭、灰鸭、斑头雁，随便朝水中甩一片卵石，都会惊飞几十只水鸟，空中盘旋两圈，又栖落水中。湖面很宽，即使极目远眺，也看不见对岸的轮廓。靠近水边是一排沙滩，赤脚从上面走过，可以感受到温热潮润的细沙与脚趾间密切接触的惬意。几行浅浅的脚印，一派浪漫的行程。

⑧二十多年的时间，都无法淡化湖在往事里的色彩，这幅精美的画面早已长在岁月深处，每一次温故，都在重新涂染一遍色彩，所以，停靠在回忆中的湖，其实，一直都很鲜艳，多少次在梦里，潮涨潮落，清波涟涟。

⑨但眼前的残败，总让人恍然隔世，觉得这个每年被大风从湖底卷起无数沙尘和盐尘的，这个每年以几平方公里的速度一点点消失的，这个在干涸湖底随处可见禽鸟尸骨和枯苇干枝的，不是记忆里的那个湖啊！它与往日被我们时常念想的碧水清波毫无瓜葛。

⑩多么希望艾比湖的枯萎是一次误诊！

但更多时候，我们不得不面对这样一串的数字。近50年，我国失去的湖泊有243个，其中，新疆的数量最多，达62个。罗布泊消失于1972年；台特玛湖消失于1974年；玛纳斯湖消失于1974年；艾丁湖消失于1987年。这听上去多少有些像宣读阵亡名单，但它们确实是从我们眼中一个一个消失的。

那些缭绕碧波的绿茵，那些水中游戏的鱼鸟，那些湖面泛舟的渔人，那些环湖晚炊的村庄，都随着湖的消失而泯灭了。

通过同伴的结局，艾比湖一定看到了自己悲情的归宿，所以，湖才有了泪的咸涩。如果能发出呐喊，我想，湖是一定要向上天控诉的，控诉那贪婪者、破坏者、无知者、傲慢者，控诉他们以自己的短视，替子孙们挖掘着墓穴。

时常看到一些赞美艾比湖的文章，对它仅剩的三分之一的水域，进行热情歌颂，听上去就像是对着一个病入膏肓的人，赞美她美丽的服饰和迷人的发髻，不知道在鱼缸里长大的鱼，会不会朗诵有关海的诗句。

我在为一个湖悲哀的时侯，突然想起了那些鸟，那些以湖为生的水禽，它们的翅膀，如何才能越过灾难，飞抵梦想的天堂。
