I was his colleague for nearly a decade and I never stopped being amazed at his generosity. Our college has a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students. Lots of students take advantage of summer experiences oversea. I discovered that no group left for overseas without some of its members receiving financial help from Dr. Tullis.It wasnt that he made a lot of money. For one thing, he taught in a church-run school. There, his salary (薪水)was half of what those people earned in a tax-supported school.Other colleagues occasionally complained about the low pay. Not Lyle Tullis. Occasionally some professors would leave our campus for a better-paid position. They told me they did so because, with better pay, they could provide for their families.The size of Lyle Tullis paycheck never seemed to be the most important thing to him. I realized that one day when I was thanking him for helping a student his eyes shone as he said to me, “Ive got so much money that I dont know what to do with it. So, I just give it away.”Most people wouldnt have thought that way. Dr. Tullis drove one of the oldest cars on campus. It was even older than almost any of the students cars. His home, while comfortable, was not fancy at all. But Lyle Tullis lived with the feeling that he had so much money that he needed to give it away.He was one of the favorite on campus. Cynics(愤世嫉俗) might say he bought fame. But they would misunderstand. Lyle wanted to devote his life, all of it, to helping others.24. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Dr. Tullis was very popular with his students.B. The author was wondering why Dr. Tullis gave students money.C. Dr. Tullis was generous in giving his students financial help.D. The author had a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students.25. Why did Dr. Tullis give his money away?A. He had a good fortune.B. He wanted to buy fame.C. He was ready to help students in need.D. He didnt know where to put it away.26. What can we learn from the text?A. Dr. Tullis was very content with his low pay.B. Dr. Tullis cared little about his family.C. The author felt confused about Dr. Tullis generosity.D. Many people would misunderstand Dr. Tullis27. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Tullis?A. Honest.B. Generous.C. Friendly.D. Conservative.【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. B【解析】本文主要讲了Tullis博士非常慷慨，给学生经济上的帮助，他想要把自己的一生都投入到帮助别人的工作中去。【24题详解】主旨大意题。根据本段第一句“No one knows how much money Dr. Lyle Tullis gave away to students. I was his colleague for nearly a decade and I never stopped being amazed at his generosity. ”可知这段话主要讲述了Dr. Tullis 在给予学生经济上的帮助方面很慷慨。故选C。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据短文最后一句“Lyle wanted to devote his life, all of it, to helping others. ”可知他想要把自己的一生都投入到帮助别人的工作中去。故选C。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据短文第三段“Other colleagues occasionally complained about the low pay. Not Lyle Tullis. ”及倒数第二段“But Lyle Tullis lived with the feeling that he had so much money that he needed to give it away. ”描述，可知Tullis博士对他的工资可能很满意。故选A。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据第一题解析以及文中关于Tullis博士在金钱方面的描述，可知Tullis博士不怎么在乎钱，由此可见他是一个慷慨的人。故选B。CGuide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16.The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people.Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer.However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for a sharp increase in the number of guide dogs all over the country. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services.28. What can we learn about guide dogs from the text?A. They have been provided for teenagers in the UK.B. They are beneficial to blind childrens development.C. They became possible in the UK recently.D. They are quite popular in the UK29. What does Charlottes example tell us?A. It is necessary to carry out the experimental project.B. Guide dogs can get along well with disabled people.C. The associations opinion is not quite right.D. Youngsters need companions and friends.30. What does the underlined word “patchy” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Endless.B. Perfect.C. Inadequate.D. Diverse.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Blind people need guide dogs assistance in their daily life.B. Age limit for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed.C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK.D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B【解析】本文属于说明文，文章讲述了拥有一个导盲犬对盲童的发展是有好处的，所以盲人拥有导盲犬的年龄限制将被取消，在实验项目和制定全国统一的标准后，盲童可以享受更好的生活。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence.可知，拥有一个导盲犬对盲童的发展是有好处的，选B。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people.可知，Charlotte的例子表明有必要做一些实验的项目来测试盲童使用导盲犬，选A。【30题详解】词义猜测题。从文章最后一段的句子and it calls for a sharp increase in the number of guide dogs all over the country（它呼吁全国导盲犬数量大幅增加。）可推知，该协会是说全国导盲犬数量不足，“patchy”的意思是“Inadequate（不充足的，不适当的）”，选C。【31题详解】主旨大意题。从全篇文章和第一
