B
The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan!” We’re friends.
“I’d rather pay,’’ I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services .insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English，or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that there’s a price for everything. And I’m always looking around to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he and his uncle in the countryside had carved from a solid block of stone.
Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping (呷) tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,”
I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”
And I joined the group. When chatting about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived, one man said, “They were pocket-sized when you
came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies !.”
How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
4. Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?
A. Because he was an upright man.
B. Because he didn’t know the repair man
C. Because he thought it natural to pay for other’s service.
D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return.
5. Generally, the author thinks that .
A. Chinese are generous always ready to help their friends
B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values
C. Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends
D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time
6. The best title for the passage should be “ ”
A. Still No Free lunch
B. A Good Lesson From Chinese
C. True Help or Not
D. Learn to Both Give And Receive
7. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. All the Chinese that once gave the author help have asked him to tutor them in English
B. When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself
C. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life
D. The author thinks little of the Chinese way of life.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】文章主要讲述了中国人慷慨大方对于美国人来说这是一种真正的教育，美国人宁愿
给钱也不愿意陷入纠纷。

作者通过与中国人的交往，赞扬了中国人的慷慨大方。

但是作者仍相信没有免费的午餐。

4. 细节理解题。

根据“According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that there’s a price for everything.”美国人普遍认为世界上没有免费的午餐。

这意味着每一样东西都有价格。

这就是作者为什么在修理工免费帮助他后坚持付钱给修理工。

根据题意，故选C。

5. 推理判断题。

根据“Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money.”中国人慷慨大方对于美国人来说这是一种真正的教育，美国人宁愿给钱也不愿意陷入纠纷。

可推知中国人慷慨乐于助人。

根据题意，故选A。

6. 主旨大意题。

根据“But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.” 但如果他们后来出现让我用英语辅导他们，我会确保他们用中文辅导我的儿子，因为仍然没有免费的午餐。

文章最后一句点明主题及没有免费的午餐。

根据题意，故选A。

7. 推理判断题。

根据“And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.”中国人很有智慧去与别人分享他们不能保持住的东西。

作者通过与中国人的交往，赞扬了中国人的慷慨大方，也就是说，他对中国人的生活态度十分欣赏。

根据题意，故选C。

活态度十分欣赏。

C
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However,
there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to
block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water
could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in
public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.
So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the
poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid
the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes
need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate
for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously
try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread
of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the
latter position is gaining some ground.
8. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
9. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid
B. Curious
C. Approving
D. Uninterested
10. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By following the order of importance.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】试题分析：文章大意：本文为议论文。

介绍了不同时期人们对污垢的不同理解以及持有的不同态度。

过去人们认为污垢有助于保护皮肤抵御疾病，所以拒绝洗澡。

而现在免疫学家声称污垢有利于加强人的免疫系统，并且有一定的依据证明此观点。

8. 细节理解题。

根据第二段的第一、二、三、四句可知当时的人们认为洗净污垢会使疾病侵入，而浴室更是疾病容易传播的地方，所以英法国王下令关闭公共浴室，这样可排除 A、B、D，而 C 项正确。

9. 推理判断题。

根据第二段的最后两句可知法国国王Henry Ⅳ因身体脏而出名，听说有位贵族洗澡后，就下令禁止这位贵族外出以防止疾病的入侵。

可以推断他对洗澡的态度是恐惧的。

A：恐惧；B：好奇；C：赞同；D：不感兴趣。

选A
10. 推理判断题。

通读全文，从 16 世纪早期人们认为污垢有利于抵御疾病，到 18 世纪人们从科学的角度认为洗净污垢有利身体健康，再到现今人们对污垢的态度又有所不同可以看出文章的写作是以时间为顺序的。

选C
11. 主旨大意题。

根据文章第一段的“there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt”和最后一段的第一句“Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.”可以看出作者写这篇文章的目的是要呈现不同时期的人们对污垢的不同态度。

选D

D
Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves
a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
12. What does the underlined word “exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. Worried.
B. Annoyed.
C. Surprised.
D. Tired.
13. Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?
A. He didn’t want to talk with his father.
B. He liked text messages better.
C. He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.
D. He enjoyed checking his voice mails.
14. Which of the following does the writer agree to?
A. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.
B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessary
C. People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.
D. People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.
15. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Nowadays: what means should we use in communication
B. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message
C. Nowadays: what should we do with text messages
D. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】试题分析:在这个智能手机的时代，这种新型的交际工具其实给我们人际交往带来了很多弊端。

12. B 细节理解题。

根据前面一句话，我对于父亲的语音消息一个都没有回复。

父亲当然是很恼怒，打电话给我姐姐以表达他的不满意。

A，担心的；B，恼怒的；C，吃惊的；D，疲惫的。

故B正确
13. B 推理题。

根据第四自然段In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; 可知作者认为发文字信息更简单，快捷且不必说一些客套话。

故B正确
14. A 推理题。

根据第四自然段In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; 可知B错误；根据最后一段可知C,D错误。

故A正确
15. A 主旨题。

根据第一段的感叹句，及文章的最后一句话 Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do. 可知本文作者跟我们探讨：在现如今的社会，我们应该使用什么样的交流方式。

故A正确
