阅读理解钢构的故乡(节选)刘醒龙一个从哺乳时期就远离故乡的人，正如最白的那朵云与天空离散了。因此，漂泊是我的生活中，最纠结的神经，最生涩的血液，最无解的思绪，最沉静的呼唤。说到底，就是任凭长风吹旷野，短雨洗芭蕉，空有万分想念，千般记惦，百倍牵肠挂肚，依然无根可寻和无情可系。在母亲怀里长大的孩子，总是记得母乳的温暖。在母亲怀里长大的孩子，又总是记不得母乳的模样。因为故乡的孕育，记忆中就有一个忽隐忽现的名为团风的地方。书上说，团风是1949年春天那场叫渡江战役的最上游的曲击地。书上又说，团风是抗日战争时期，国内两支本该同仇敌忾的军队，却同室操戈时常火并，必争之地。书上更说，团风是改变中华民族命运的赤色政党中两位创党元老的深情故土、痴情故地。著书卷，立学说，想来至少不使后来者多费猜度。就像宋时苏轼，诗意地说一句，人道是三国周郎赤壁，竟然变成多少年后惹是生非的源头。苏轼当然不知后来世上会有团风之地，却断断不会不知鸟林之所在。苏轼时期的鸟林，在后苏轼时期，改名换姓成为团风。作为赤壁大战关键所在，如果此鸟林一直成为鸟林，上溯长江几百公里，那个也叫鸟林的去处，就没有机会将自己想象成孔明先生借来东风，助周公瑾大战曹孟德的英雄际会场所了。书上那些文字，在我心里是惶惑的。童年的我，无法认识童年的自己。认识的只有从承载这些文字的土地上，走向他乡的长辈。比如父亲，那位在一个叫刘下垸的小地方，学会操纵最原始的织布机的男人；比如爷爷，那位在一个叫林家大垸的小地方，替一户后来声名显赫的林姓人家织了8年土布和洋布的男人。从他们身上，我看得到一些小命运和小小命运，无论如何，都不能将这位早早为了生计而少能认字的壮年男人，和另一位对生计艰难有着更深体会而累得脊背畸形的老年男人，同那些辉煌于历史的大事伟人，作某种关联。比文字更让人难以置信的是亲人的故事。首先是母亲。在母亲第九十九次讲述她的故事时，我曾经有机会在她所说的团风街上徘徊很久，也问过不少人，既没有找到，也没有听到，在那条街的某个地方，有过某座祠堂。虽然旧的痕迹消失了，我还是能够感受到生命初期的孤独凄苦。当年那些风雨飘摇的夜晚，母亲搂着她的两个加起来不封三岁的孩子，倍着那被组人用私刑冤毙的谱魂。一盏彻夜不灭的油灯，成了并非英雄母亲的虎胆，夜复一夜地盼到天亮，将害怕潜伏者抢劫的阴森祠堂，苏醒成为翻身农民供应生活物资的供销社。其次是父亲。父杀的故事，父亲本人只说过一次。后来就不再说了。他的那个1948年在汉口街上贴一张革命传单，要躲好几条街的故事，更是从1967年的大字报上读到的。那一年，第一次跟在父亲身后，走在幻梦中出现过的小路上，听那些过分陌生的人冲着父亲表达过分的热情，这才相信那个早已成为了历史的故事。相信父亲为躲避“文革”斗争，只身逃回故乡，那些追逐而来的狂热青年，如何被父亲童年时的伙伴，一声大吼，喝退几百里。还有一个故事，它是属于我的。那一年，父亲在芭茅草丛生的田野上，找到一处荒芜土丘，惊天动地地跪下去，冲着深深的土地大声呼唤自己的母亲。我晓得，这便是在我出生前很多年就已经离开的奶奶。接下来，我的一跪，让内心有了重新诞生的感觉。所以，再往后，当父亲和母亲，一回回地要求，替他们在故乡找块安度往生的地!我亦能够伤情地理解，故乡是使有限人生重新诞生为永生的最可靠的地方。成熟了，成年了，越喜欢故乡。哪怕只在匆匆路过中，远远地看上一眼!哪怕只是在无声无息中，悄悄地深呼吸一下！

阅读理解自言自语(其六)史铁生自然之神以其无限的奥秘生养了我们，又以其无限的奥秘迷惑甚至威胁我们，使我们不敢怠慢不敢轻狂，对着命运的无常既敬且畏。我们企望自然之母永远慈祥的爱护，但严厉的自然之父却要我们去浪迹天涯自立为家。我们不得不开始了从刀耕火种到航天飞机的创造历程。日日月月年年，这历程并无止境，当我们千辛万苦而又怀疑其意义何在之时，我们茫然若失就一直没能建成一个家。太阳之火轰鸣着落在地平线上，太阳之光又多情地令人难眠，我们想起：家呢?便起身把这份辛苦、这份忧思、这份热烈而执着的盼望，用斧凿在石上，用笔画在墙上，用文字写在纸上，向自然之神倾诉，为了吁请神的关注，我们又奏起了最哀壮的音乐，并以最夸张的姿式展现我们的身躯成为舞蹈。悲烈之声传上天庭，悲烈之景遍布四野，我们忽然茅塞顿开听到了自然之神在赞誉他们不屈的儿子，刹那问一片美好的家园呈现了，原来是由不屈的骄傲建筑在心中。我们有了家有了艺术，我们再也不孤寂不犹豫，再也不放弃(而且我们知道了，一切创造的真正意义都是为了这个。所以无论什么行当，一旦作到极致，人们就说它是进入了艺术境界，它本来是什么已经不重要了，它现在主要是心灵的美的家园)。我们先是立了一面镜子，我们一边怀着敬畏滚动石头，一边怀着骄傲观赏我们不屈的形象。后来，我们不光能从镜子里，而且能从山的峻拔与狰狞、水的柔润与汹涌，风的和煦与狂暴，云的变幻与永恒，空间的辽阔与时间的悠久，草木的衰荣与虫兽的繁衍，从万物万象中看见自己柔弱而又刚劲的身影。心之家园的无限恰与命运的无常构成和谐，构成美，构成艺术的精髓。敬畏与骄傲，这两极!(选自史铁生《宿命的写作》，山东文艺出版社2001年版)
