China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea — pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid.

Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig” And in English, there are some expressions like “Eating like a pig” and “Pigs might fly”. None of them are complimentary.

However, pigs have some good qualities. They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories (记忆力). And they know whether people treat them well or not.

A UK cartoon. Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value (价值观) of family. And a Chinese cartoon film, the Adventures (冒险) of Mc Dull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, Mc Dull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but Mc Dull i slow and patient (耐心的), and not afraid of failing again and again.

Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.

46．China and western countries have _______ in cultures according to the passage.

A. the same idea towards pigs 

B. different ideas towards pigs

C. the same idea towards all the animals

47．What does the underlined word “complimentary” mean in Chinese? _______

A.固执的     B.赞美的     C.负面的

48．From the third paragraph, we can learn that _______.

A. pigs have bad memories

B. pigs don’t know who treats them well

C. pigs are as clever as dogs and elephants

49．The writer gives the two examples of cartoons in the passage to show _______.

A. pigs have good qualities

B. the two cartoons are well-known

C. both Chinese and English children like pigs

50．The best title of the passage is _______.

B

Many Chinese mothers are afraid that their children will fall behind their classmates, so these mothers are becoming “tiger mothers”. They believe the harder their children study, the happier life they will have in the future. Is it true? Lulu and her sister Sophia may have a say.

Lulu and Sophia have a “tiger mother”. She pushed them a lot when they were young. For example, they were not allowed to get grades lower than A’s. They had to practice the piano or violin for several hours a day. There were no games or TV.

The tiger mother, Amy, is a Chinese-American professor (教授) at Yale Law School in the USA. Several years ago, she wrote a book named Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and shared her strict parenting style(风格)in it.

Many people don’t like Amy’s style of parenting. They once worried that her daughters would not be happy. However, the two girls have grown up and they are thankful to their mother. Sophia has just graduated (毕业) from Yale University. She is hard-working, friendly and helpful. Not long ago, she shared some useful studying ways online. Lulu is also a warm, smart and popular girl in her friends’ eyes. She said tiger mothers believed that a child could be successful by being pushed to go all out.

Still, not everyone agrees with the tiger mother’s parenting style. In fact, there isn’t a parenting style that fits everyone. What’s the best parenting style for you? Maybe you should work it out together with your parents.

51．According to the passage, “tiger mothers” _______.

A. don’t mind their children falling behind their classmates

B. don’t care about their children’s feelings when they grow up

C. believe pushing their children hard can help them to be successful

52．What can we know about Amy?

A. She is teaching in China.

B. She loves playing the violin.

C. She is the mother of the two girls.

53．In Lulu and Sophia’s opinion, their mother is _______.

A. great     B. worried    C. hateful

54．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A. You can find tiger mothers only in China.

B. Sophia is not a popular girl in her friends’ eyes.

C. Different children need different parenting styles.

55．Which of the following is probably the title?

A. Lulu and Sophia

B. Do you want a tiger mother?

C. How can you become a tiger mother?

第三节  语篇补全  阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。(共4小题，计8分)

As we all know, the Internet is a really good place to search the information. But can you always find what you want to find on the Internet?  56 

◆Use several keywords.

  57  This will help to find better results. If you want to find out about seagull(海鸥), for example, search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull”, because seagull might also be the name of anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.

◆Look for exact (精确的) information.

If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type it between inverted commas (引号) and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something you’ve already seen but lost.

◆  58 

Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results, especially when the mistyped word appear.

◆Try different search engines(搜索引擎).

Some search engines personalize (个性化) the results. If you want to get different results, you’d better check out the search engines which don’t do this.

◆Make sure the reliability(可靠性).

Reliability is very important when you are searching on the Internet. Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Don’t make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false.  59

Before he left home, his family told him to stay calm (沉稳的) and climb onto trees it he was in face of tigers. In this way, the tigers couldn’t do anything to him.

The tiger shouted around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too scared to hold(抓住) the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger. The tiger thought that must be a giant (巨大的) animal. So it was afraid and started running crazily.

People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, "Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool” “Superman!”

Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death?" He said to himself.
