蛇年话蛇（解析版）-2025中考时文阅读专项训练

24蛇年话蛇

蛇年说蛇话图腾

宋人陆游在《人日雪》一诗中说：非贤那畏蛇年至，多难却愁人日阴。

2025年，是中国农历蛇年。蛇在中国传统文化中有着特殊的地位。现代的人们常把蛇

称之为“小龙”，以示尊崇。在民俗中也有“三月三”，是真龙和小龙出洞，“抬头”的日子。其

实，这些都是人们在流传至今的民族文化中，想象而产生的图腾崇拜。蛇被认为是神秘、智

慧、精明、富有、善良的代表。

在中国民间传说中，蛇有时被当做是阴邪物，蛇年易发生不好的事情。但是，蛇年好与

不好，取决于人们对世界和事物的认知和态度。在人们的认知中，一般的都会认为，蛇狠毒，

因此派生出“农夫和蛇”的故事。有人认为，蛇阴险、冷漠，也派生出“美女蛇”“蛇蝎心肠”等

等称谓和形象来。也有人说，蛇十分莫测，显得很神秘。还有人认为蛇象征着狡猾。

但蛇也有着许多褒义的象征。1.象征着幸运和吉祥、神圣。古时候，人们认为蛇是君主

的保护神。古时也有国家在节杖上雕刻着蛇的象形，代表着使节权力，蛇成为一个国家和权

威的象征。2.象征着追求爱情和幸福。最为有着代表性的是民间传统故事《白蛇传》，是中

国四大民间爱情传说之一。描述的是一个修炼成人形的蛇精与人的曲折爱情故事，表达了人

们对男女自由恋爱的赞美向往和对封建势力无理束缚的憎恨。3.象征着长寿和财富。在中华

民族文化中，蛇和龟都是长寿的象征。经过瑜伽、气功等习练后，人们可以延年益寿。

因此说，不管蛇年的运势与否，都取决于人们永远保持一颗乐观向上的心态，要好好珍

惜当下，勇敢的面对一切，迎接新时代的未来。

【答案】35.A36.D37.C38.D39.C

【知识点】人与动植物、说明文

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了蛇对人类有益，但人们怕蛇，因而不保护蛇。因此

科学家就人们怕蛇的问题展开调查，并且教人们合适的方法和蛇相处而不受伤害。

35.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Theyfound"blackfaces\anotherexample,spiders（蜘蛛），

fasterthan"safe5thingslikeflowers.Itseemswefindthingsthatmightbedangeroustousfaster.^^

可知，蜘蛛作者说的“黑脸”指的是让人感到危险的东西，故选A。

36.词句猜测题。分析“Afterall,ifwehadtobebittenbyasnaketolearnthatifsdangerous,we

mightlearnourlessontoolate.“可知，如果只有被蛇咬才知道它危险的话就太晚了,因为我们

可能已经被咬死了，故选D。

37.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"Itturnsoutthatsnakesaren'tsobadwhenyouknowthe

waytostaywiththem."可知，当你知道如何与蛇相处时，蛇并不是那么糟糕，即科学家通过

教人们如何与蛇相处来减少他们对蛇的空间，故选Co

38.推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了人们害怕蛇这一问题，科学家为了找到答案进

行研究，并给出解决办法，选项D“发现问题并进行研究以解决问题。”符合，故选D。

39.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Maybewearebomtobeafi*aidofthem.”可知，也许我们生

来就害怕蛇，所以1对应a,排除A和B；根据第四段中的“Peopleprotectanimalstheylike,not

animalstheyfbar.”可知，人们保护他们喜欢的动物，而不保护他们害怕的动物，所以2对应

c,排除D,故选C。

三、短文填空

A

根据所给首字母、上下文或汉语提示完成空格中所缺单词，使短文完整通顺，语法正确，每
