《聞一多先生的說和做》（16分）
聞一多先生還有另外一個方面，——作為革命家的方面。
這個方面，情況就迥乎不同，而且一反既往了。
作為爭取民主的戰(zhàn)士，青年運動的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，聞一多先生“說”了。起先，小聲說，只有昆明的青年聽得到；后來，聲音越來越大，他向全國人民呼喊，叫人民起來，反對獨裁，爭取民主！
他在給我的信上說：“此身別無長處，既然有一顆心，有一張嘴，講話定要講個痛快！”
他“說”了，跟著的是“做”。這不再是“做了再說”或“做了也不一定說”了�，F(xiàn)在，他“說”了就“做”。言論與行動完全一致，這是人格的寫照，而且是以生命作為代價的。
1944年10月12日，他給了我一封信，最后一行說：“另函寄上油印物二張，代表我最近的工作之一，請傳觀�！�
這是為爭取民主，反對獨裁，他起稿的一張政治傳單！
在李公仆同志被害之后，警報迭起，形勢緊張，明知兇多吉少，而聞先生大無畏地在群眾大會上，大罵特務(wù)，慷慨淋漓，并指著這群敗類說：你們站出來！你們站出來！
他“說”了。說得痛快，動人心，鼓壯志，氣沖斗牛，聲震天地！
他“說”了：“我們要準(zhǔn)備像李公仆一樣，前腳跨出大門，后腳就不準(zhǔn)備再跨進(jìn)大門�！�
他“做”了，在情況緊急的生死關(guān)頭，他走到游行示威隊伍的前頭，昂首挺胸，長須飄飄。他終于以寶貴的生命，實證了他的“言”和“行”。
聞一多先生，是卓越的學(xué)者，熱情澎湃的優(yōu)秀詩人，大勇的革命烈士。
他，是口的巨人。他，是行的高標(biāo)。
【小題1】作為革命家的聞一多是怎樣對待“說”和“做”的？（2分）
【小題2】結(jié)合全文,請簡要概括聞一多先生的形象。（2分）
【小題3】說說對下面句子的理解（4分）
①“聞一多先生‘說’了”中“說”的意思。
②他“說”了：“我們要準(zhǔn)備像李先生一樣，前腳跨出大門，后腳就不準(zhǔn)備再跨進(jìn)大門。
【小題4】選段中作者選取了哪幾件事來表現(xiàn)作為“革命家的方面”的聞一多先生“言”“行”完全一致？（3分）
【小題5】請在選文中找出穿插的形象描寫寫下來，并說說這些描寫的作用。（3分）
【小題6】最后兩段，能不能合為一段，為什么？（2分）

閱讀簡答：閱讀下面短文，簡要回答文后問題。
     History is the story of us, human beings. Everyone who has lived and everything that has happened are
part of history. But history is not only what happened in the past. The word also means the study of the past,
through old written records and other kinds of facts.
     Why do we study history? One reason is that we enjoy it. A good story is even better if it is true, and
history is full of good stories, though they can be terrible too. A more serious reason is to understand ourselves
and the world we live in. To understand events happening now, we need to know their causes. We cannot
understand the present if we know nothing about the past. History helps to explain why things are the way they
are.
     Of course, history books cannot tell us everything about the past, not even everything that is recorded. A
history of the world has to pick out the people and events that changed the world.
     Since ancient times, great civilizations have appeared in different countries and regions. Usually, only three
or four existed at the same time. While they lasted, they changed the lives not only of their own people, but of
their neighbors too.
注：(1) civilizations 文明 (2) exist 存在 (3) region 地區(qū)
1. What is history?
     __________________________________________________________
2. How do we study history?
    __________________________________________________________
3. Why do we study history? Please give two reasons. 
    __________________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________________
4. What have appeared in different countries and regions since ancient times? 
    __________________________________________________________
5. What title can you give to the passage?
