高二英语模块考试时间：60分钟总分：100分I.阅读理解（共8小题，每小题2分，共16分）AYou almost certainly know the phrase, “A dog is man’s best friend” and I can confirm(确定),from my own experience, that this is the truth. I personally can’t imagine my life without a dog. As a dog owner, a dog’s running towards you, snuggling(依偎) up to you or pleasantly barking are all really great feelings. Moreover, you have something that always listens to you and loves you. Because of these facts dogs are the best and the most beautiful creatures for me.Dogs aren’t only pets. They can often help people. Firstly, like sheepdogs, they really help with shepherding. Secondly, like sniffer dogs(嗅探犬), they can be trained to search for hard drugs. And lastly, I want to talk about guide-dogs which are actually a great miracle for blind people. These dogs can deal with a lot of issues and problems in a blind person’s life and they are perfect mediators between healthy people and sightless ones. They ensure that handicapped people can live normal lives and this is the best thing that they can do. Their training for this role, however, is not easy. First they are sent to a normal family and then the dogs are specially trained. They have to learn perhaps 50 different tasks or disciplines. And then, when they are fully trained, they are sent to a new family where they try to make life as normal as possible for their owners.The price of training the dogs is a very high sum. But blind people can usually get the monetary support from some sponsors or some donations from organizations which raise money especially for them. You can help too because in many supermarkets and other shops there are very often places where you can donate. And it’s not just about making a big donation; small amounts help too.1.

Blind Man and DogC. I Like My Dog Very MuchD. Those Beautiful CreaturesBWhen I paid for the bicycle repair, 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 30yuan I owed them in the first place.According to the Americans, “There’s no free lunch,” meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbors 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.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 make up for the greatest gift---friendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I.”And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my b oys 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 of 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.5.Why did the author insist on paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?A.Because he was an upright man.B.Because he didn’t know the repairman.C.Because he thought it natu ral to pay for others’ service.D.Because he didn’t want to help others in return.6.Generally, the author thinks that ______.A.Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friendsB.Chinese are good at the exchange of equal valuesC.Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friendsD.Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time7.The best title for the passage should be “______”.A.Still No Free LunchB.A Good Lesson from ChineseC.True Help or NotD.Learn to Both Give and Receive8.Which of the following is TRUE?A.All the Chinese help foreigners on purpose.B.Chinese like to ask for help.C.The author thinks little of the Chinese way of life.D.The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
