Question

【题目】

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(品质).They are even as smart as dogs and elephants.They have good memories.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 of family.And a Chinese cartoon film,the Adventures 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 is slow and patient,and not afraid of failing again and again.

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

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。猪在中西文化中都是懒，脏和愚蠢的象征。但是猪也有着好的品质，如好的记忆力，聪明并且知道别人的真情或假意。并通过介绍中西有名的卡通：英国的《小猪佩奇》和中国的《麦当劳历险记》来说明猪的一些优秀品质。希望大家下次说起猪时，能想起它们的好品质。

【1】细节判断题。根据第1大段“but when it comes to pigs,we have the same idea—pigs are ugly,lazy and stupid.”可知中西文化对猪的观点是一致的。故选A。

【2】词义猜测题。根据第1大段“we have the same idea—pigs are ugly,lazy and stupid”和第2大段的谚语如“Boiling a dead pig”死猪不怕开水烫，可知对猪的评价不好。题干中的none是否定词。故选B。

【3】细节判断题。根据第3大段“They are even as smart as dogs and elephants.”可知猪甚至和狗，大象一样的聪明。故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据第4大段“The four member… and the value of family”和“but Mc Dull is slow and patient,and not afraid of failing again and again”可知这两部卡通片都在体现猪的耐心，不怕失败的好品质。故选A。

【5】主旨大意题。根据第1大段“but when it comes to pigs,we have the same idea—pigs are ugly,lazy and stupid.”和第5大段“Maybe when we talk about pigs next time,we should think of their good qualities”可知都是在谈论对猪的看法。故选A。

说明文章的阅读方法之一：通过阅读第一大段或者最后一大段可以确定文章的中心意思。中心意思的确定可以帮助选择文章合适的标题。如第5题，第1大段讲述的是中西观点认为猪都是不好的代表。第5大段（最后一段）说明猪也是有好品质的。提炼关键词：pigs，opinions。所以可以准确找到答案。
