10、u know, these cups brings to my mind a st四、现代文阅读（共36分）（一）阅读难忘那棵老榆树一文，完成1315题。（共15分） 难忘那棵老榆树故乡的村头，曾有一棵老榆树。榆树是当地的土著，荒坡野岭随处可见，但多是七扭八歪，古怪丑陋。而她却与众不同，像一柄撑天巨伞，矗立村头。树干粗而笔直，树冠分杈均匀，枝条披拂，绿叶繁茂。深黑色的树皮，刻满老榆树特有的裂纹，饱含无限沧桑和神秘。她像慈祥坚毅的老祖母，守护着小村，看着一代代小村人成长。老榆树在这个世界上经历了多少个春秋，无人知晓，因为她比小村的年龄还大，是小村的祖宗。母亲八十岁了，说她小时候这棵树就这么大。小
11、村的先民们在开辟小村时，要砍下多少棵树，她留下了；一百年间，小村人要烧火、做农具、修猪圈、盖房子，用了多少木头，山坡上的树砍光了，她安然无恙，但她最终还是没躲过斧锯之灾，倒在小村人的手中。村里有一口老井供全村人畜饮用，是小村的生命之源。老井多年使用，木板做的井壁已糟朽不堪了，必须重新更换。这六十多米多深的井壁所需木材可不是个小数目，当时的生产队已处于艰难维持阶段，买木头没有钱，寻遍山野找不到合适的树，队长急得团团转，万般无奈时把希望寄托在了老树身上。要伐老榆树的消息刚一传出，便在小村掀起不小的波澜。当时人们虽不懂得环保的重要，但觉得小村不能没有这棵老榆树，她是小村的一部分，小村人和她的感情太深
12、了。老树曾经是神圣的，那时谁家生了小孩，要在老树上拴一块红布条，企盼孩子像老树一样健康长寿。谁家有了病人，也要到老树下烧一柱香，磕几个头，希望得到老树的保佑。谁家老人去世，在安葬前，家人要定时到老树下送浆水，说是死人的灵魂安葬前无处可依，这老树下便是暂栖之所。老树的神圣只是人们的愿望，她不会也从来没有表现出过任何灵异，但在那困难年月，老树确实帮助人们度过了难关。在青黄不接的春天，家家粮囤见底，人人面有菜色。老榆树好像知道人间的饥荒，早早就长出了满树硕大的榆钱。人们小心地爬上树头，一筐筐一袋袋的捋回家，搀和一点小米，煮成榆钱饭，虽不能说好吃，却也能添饱肚子。后来，不再用她的榆钱做饭解饿，但人们还
13、在她下面躲风避雨，消暑纳凉，唠着家长里短，说着酸甜苦辣，人们的乐趣和苦恼都收进了老榆树那深深的皱纹中。在远行人不舍的回望中，最后消失的小村景物是老榆树，在远归人渴望的目光中第一个出现的小村景物也是老榆树，她成了小村的标志。 “老树不能伐！”人们纷纷向队长进言。队长说：“我就是在老榆树身边长大的，她比我爹岁数都大，要是再分有办法，我也不能造这个孽。”要留下这棵树，人们可以说出千条万条理由，但谁又能弄到修井的木料呢？对老树的感情终究抵不住人们对水的需要。那是深秋的一天，一场寒露更增了几分寒意，老树的叶子快落光了，剩下零星的几片枯叶在秋风中摇曳。小村人静静地立在老树周围，为她送行，队长点燃一挂鞭，几个老人烧了一炉香，虔诚地跪在树下，西风掠过树梢的瑟瑟声伴着人们的抽泣弥漫了整个村庄。两个壮汉拉起大锯，沙！沙！沙！粉红色的木屑从锯口喷出，一顿饭工夫，老树轰然倒下，小山一样，静静地卧在她一直守护着的小村旁。开始人们还担心这么老的树，中间会有空洞，影响出材，现在放心了，不但没有空，一点都没朽烂。从树干到树杈，能破的全都破了板，那一块块沉甸甸的榆木板，结结实实地镶到老井中。老树倒下了，老井获得了新生，这口井水更旺了，更加清冽甘甜。队长敲着井帮，高兴地说：“这口井五十年没问题！”还不到五年，生产队解体了。又过几年，人们手头不再拮据，他们不愿意那样费劲巴力地
