24蛇年話蛇

蛇年說蛇話圖騰

宋人陸游在《人日雪》一詩中說：非賢那畏蛇年至，多難卻愁人日陰。

2025年，是中國農歷蛇年。蛇在中國傳統文化中有著特殊的地位。現代的人們常把蛇

稱之為“小龍”，以示尊崇。在民俗中也有“三月三”，是真龍和小龍出洞，“抬頭”的日子。其

實，這些都是人們在流傳至今的民族文化中，想象而產生的圖騰崇拜。蛇被認為是神秘、智

慧、精明、富有、善良的代表。

在中國民間傳說中，蛇有時被當做是陰邪物，蛇年易發生不好的事情。但是，蛇年好與

不好，取決于人們對世界和事物的認知和態度。在人們的認知中，一般的都會認為，蛇狠毒，

因此派生出“農夫和蛇”的故事。有人認為，蛇陰險、冷漠，也派生出“美女蛇”“蛇蝎心腸”等

等稱謂和形象來。也有人說，蛇十分莫測，顯得很神秘。還有人認為蛇象征著狡猾。

但蛇也有著許多褒義的象征。1.象征著幸運和吉祥、神圣。古時候，人們認為蛇是君主

的保護神。古時也有國家在節杖上雕刻著蛇的象形，代表著使節權力，蛇成為一個國家和權

威的象征。2.象征著追求愛情和幸福。最為有著代表性的是民間傳統故事《白蛇傳》，是中

國四大民間愛情傳說之一。描述的是一個修煉成人形的蛇精與人的曲折愛情故事，表達了人

們對男女自由戀愛的贊美向往和對封建勢力無理束縛的憎恨。3.象征著長壽和財富。在中華

民族文化中，蛇和龜都是長壽的象征。經過瑜伽、氣功等習練后，人們可以延年益壽。

因此說，不管蛇年的運勢與否，都取決于人們永遠保持一顆樂觀向上的心態，要好好珍

惜當下，勇敢的面對一切，迎接新時代的未來。

【答案】35.A36.D37.C38.D39.C

【知識點】人與動植物、說明文

【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了蛇對人類有益，但人們怕蛇，因而不保護蛇。因此

科學家就人們怕蛇的問題展開調查，并且教人們合適的方法和蛇相處而不受傷害。

35.細節理解題。根據第二段中的"Theyfound"blackfaces\anotherexample,spiders（蜘蛛），

fasterthan"safe5thingslikeflowers.Itseemswefindthingsthatmightbedangeroustousfaster.^^

37.細節理解題。根據最后一段中的"Itturnsoutthatsnakesaren'tsobadwhenyouknowthe

waytostaywiththem."可知，當你知道如何與蛇相處時，蛇并不是那么糟糕，即科學家通過

教人們如何與蛇相處來減少他們對蛇的空間，故選Co
