二、现代文阅读（共29分，其中选择题每小题3分）

（一）阅读下面的文字，完成8-10题。（9分）

视觉文化在现代引起了很多学科领域的学者的重视，艺术家、社会学家、美学家、哲学家都从不同的角度尝试理解这一文化现象。

从事某一艺术领域创作和研究的艺术家和学者，对视觉文化投以了较早的青睐。虽然他们从事艺术创作和研究的领域不一，但是他们都认为视觉观看不是一个被动的过程，而是主动发现的过程。英国著名的美术理论家、艺术家贡布里希认为，看就是图式的透射，一个艺术家决不会用“纯真之眼”去观察世界，否则他的眼睛不是被物像所刺伤，就是无法理解世界。 美国“9·11”事件发生后，我问上海同济大学从事艺术设计的一位教授，当看到世贸大楼被袭击的电视画面有什么感想。他说，看着双子大楼倒下的画面，他感觉：“双子大楼象征着男人，它的倒塌就像一个男人被摧毁了，这将是美国永远的痛。”这是多么独特敏锐的视觉感受！

关于视觉文化，对世界产生相当影响的美国学者阿尔温·托夫勒在他的成名作《第三次浪潮》中，用“三种文盲”的概念给予最好的解释。他说，随着社会的演进和科技的发展，人类将产生“文字文化文盲、计算机文化文盲和影像文化文盲”。文字文化文盲是农业社会的产物，而计算机文化文盲、影像文化文盲则是工业社会，特别是后工业社会的产物。

文艺美学家对视觉文化的论述更为系统和深刻。在这方面，英国的文艺美学家伊格尔顿的大声疾呼颇为强烈。他指出，我们正面临着一个视觉文化时代，文化符号趋于图像霸权已是不争的事实。图像生产深刻地涉及现代社会的政治、科技、商业、美学四大主题。

中央电视台某年度全年的广告收入为近90亿，而世界著名的传媒集团维亚康姆的MTV一个频道一年的广告收入就近这数字，这个让许多人不解：为什么一个仅是播放MTV的频道会受到这么多人的关注？这就是视觉文化社会带来的必然结果。它所反映的深层问题是，在视觉文化时代，人们需要一种视觉快感。MTV从时间转向空间，从深度转向平面，从整体转向碎片，这一切正好契合了视觉快感的要求。

哲学家们在这方面的论述就可以称得上有些振聋发聩了。当然，这种振聋发聩效应的获得绝非是学术“呐喊”所致，而是学术“深刻”所在。

海德格尔在上世纪30年代就曾说过：我们正在进入一个“世界图像时代„„世界图像并非意指一幅关于世界的图像，而是指世界被把握为图像了。”

法国哲学家居伊·德波。他在《景象社会》一文中，就大胆宣布了“景象社会”的到来。尔

后，他在这方面进行了深入研究，奠定了他在这一研究领域的地位。他认为世界转化为形象，就是把人的主动的创造性的活动转化为被动的行为；在景象社会中，视觉具有优先性和至上性，它压倒了其他观感，现代人完全成了观者。

（选自孟建《视觉文化时代的来临》有删改）

8．下列对同济大学这位教授的视觉感受的理解，不恰当的一项是

A．这种视觉感受是观看者以专业的敏锐视觉来感受世界的结果。

B． 双子大楼被袭击而倒下的画面深深地刺伤了这位教授的双眼。

C．世贸大都的标志意义是这位艺术设计教授理解美国疼痛的关键。

D． 这种视觉感受现象可以看做是贡布里希所指的“图式的透射”。

9．下列说法不符合原文意思的一项是

A．本文认为视觉文化时代的视觉观看，是一个需要系统研究、深刻反思的复杂文化现象。

B． 本文引入多个学科的知识，从多维视角来考察视觉文化与现代社会各方面的广泛联系。

C．随着社会的演进和科技的发展，后工业社会必然产生只有“纯真之眼”的影像文化文盲。

D．为了商业利益，视觉文化时代的图像生产必须平面化、碎片化，才能契合视觉快感要求。

10．文中既说视觉文化中的观看是“主动发现的过程”，又说“景象社会”把“人的主动的创造性的活动转化为被动的行为”，看似矛盾，其实并不矛盾，为什么？(3分)

（二）阅读下面的文字，完成11-15题。（20分）

走眼

王伟锋

老街两边，一溜儿开有十多家古玩店。“珍宝斋”的门店在老街的最里面。老板姓赵，做这一行已经有20多年了。赵老板内行，眼力好。据说，好东西只要打他眼前一过，没有看走眼的。

一次，老街有家店收了一件钧瓷，吃不准货色。半条街的人都看过了，但谁也不敢拍板下结论。店主亲自出马，恭恭敬敬地请赵老板赏脸，过去给看一眼。赵老板热心，当即过去，反复把玩了，淡淡地说：“收着。” ．．

店主心中一喜，禁不住颤声问：“能收?”

赵老板朗声道：“能收!”后来，那件钧瓷出手，价钱竟然翻了10倍。自此，赵老板名声日隆。 ．．

但是，新近开张的“云芳斋”的李老板却偏不信这个邪。李老板的店原本开在省城，不知怎么一时兴起，在小镇开了一家分店。他初来乍到，想干一件露脸的事，好在老街尽快站稳脚跟。

这天，“珍宝斋”来了个外乡人。看打扮，像是落难之人。一进店，那人便掏出一个精巧的盒子，说盘缠儿不够了，身上有块玉，想换俩钱花。伙计打开盒子，一看，心里一惊，赶忙一溜小跑，把正在后院竹椅上闭目养神的赵老板请了过来。

赵老板拿过那盒子，看了一下玉，又盖上盒子，端详良久，问卖家：“想淘换多少钱?” 卖家说：“少说也得这个数。”说着，伸出五根手指。

赵老板不语，站起身来，踱了几步，站定，对着卖家伸出了三根手指。

卖家摇摇头，固执地伸出五根手指，神色凝重地说：“这可是家传的宝贝，低于这个数，免谈。”

“收了。给客人添茶。”赵老板微微皱了皱眉头，不动声色地吩咐道。客人走后，赵老板拿了盒子，低声嘱咐了伙计几句，然后不紧不慢地踱着方步，回后院品茶去了。

卖家出了古玩街，在镇上拐了几个弯，又勾回头，一闪身进了“云芳斋”的后院。伙计远远地看得仔细，回来向赵老板汇报。赵老板低头沉思良久，叹了口气，说：“这个李老板，不怎么地道啊!”

隔天，李老板和街上的几个店主来到“珍宝斋”，进门便嚷：“听说贵店新近收了件好东西，拿出来，让大家开开眼!”

赵老板拱手道：“小玩意儿而已，不值一提。”见赵老板不肯拿出玉，李老板暗自得意，忍不住大声嚷嚷：““赵老板，您不让我们开眼，莫非您这一次走了眼，收了个扔货?” 赵老板干咳一下，默不作声。李老板愈发得意起来：“呵呵，想不到，老街赫赫有名的赵老板，也有看走眼的时候。”

这可关系到“珍宝斋”的声誉，连伙计都急了，赵老板依旧笑而不答。

李老板恣意取笑一番之后，领着一群人得意洋洋而去。伙计实在忍不住了，说：“老板，您怎么一句话也不说啊?莫非咱们真的着了人家的道，收了个赝品?”

赵老板粲然一笑，说：“玉的确不怎么样，但盒子实实在在是个好东西。上等的古檀香木，名家雕刻的纹饰。你说，究竟是谁走眼了?”伙计明白过来，心里那块石头终于落了地。他不解地问：“既然如此，你为何不说，羞辱李老板一番呢？以其人之道，还治其人之身！” 赵老板长叹一声，说：“都在这个圈子里混饭吃，得饶人处，且饶人吧!”

一个月后，“珍宝斋”做成了一笔买卖，一个雕工精良的古檀香木盒子卖了个好价钱，整条老街都轰动了。

不久，老街的人发现，“云芳斋”的牌子在夜里悄悄摘掉了，店面转给了一个本地人。

A

Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.

Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.

When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year‟s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.

Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into

savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.

B

Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.

In Brazil

Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there‟s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.

In Singapore

Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.

In the United Arab Emirates

In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and

down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.

In Switzerland

The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others‟ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

46. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. communication types B. the workplace atmosphere

C. customs and social manners D. living conditions and standards

47. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
