閱讀理解

Have you ever been asked by your Chinese friends, “What is your zodiac sign?” If you say “I’m a Pig.”, they immediately know you are either 24, 36, 48 or 60 years old. Asking a zodiac sign is a polite way of asking your age. By showing your zodiac sign, you are also being evaluated. Maybe you don’t believe in the Chinese zodiac. However, as a quarter of the world population is influenced by it, you’d be wise to do something about that.

The zodiac signs is a 12-years cycle marked with animals, starting with a Rat and ending with a Pig. For example, if you were born in 2000, you are a Dragon. If you were born in 2001, you are a Snake. If you were born in 2002, you are a Horse.

Over thousands of years, the zodiac sign has affected the Chinese’s major decisions, some of which are quite amazing. In romantic relations, a Pig girl is believed to be in a perfect romance with Tigers, Goats and Rabbits, while Snakes are supposed to be their natural enemies. Some Chinese parents also try to avoid having babies with certain zodiac signs. That’s why January 2015, the last month for the Year of the Horse saw a common choice of Cesarean section (剖宮產(chǎn)) ahead of the expected date of childbirth. It’s not because they like Horses so much, but because babies born next month are Goats, which are a zodiac sign not favored by Chinese parents. A Tiger is another undesirable zodiac sign, due to its aggressiveness. Many Chinese regions saw a sharp decline of birthrate during those years.

The belief and tradition of the zodiac sign has been existing over thousands of years and the trend of using it in making major decisions has gone upwards for the past few decades. As China plays such an important role in the global economy and politics, Chinese culture and traditions have been influencing more people around the world.

【試題分析】本文為說明文。主要介紹了中國生肖是什么，有什么人文特點，以及中國文化在世界范圍內(nèi)的影響。

31.【答案】B

【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“Have you ever been asked by your Chinese friends, ‘What is your zodiac sign?’”可知，首先通過以詢問年齡的方式引入生肖話題，接著第三句“By showing your zodiac sign, you are also being evaluated.”以及第一段最后一句“However, as a quarter of the world population is influenced by it, you’d be wise to do something about that.”可知，第一段詢問年齡只是體現(xiàn)了生肖的一個功能，而后又回到生肖的主題。所以A、C選項太片面，D選項不符合段意。故選B。

32.【答案】A

【解析】判斷推理題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“The zodiac signs is a 12-years cycle marked with animals, starting with a Rat and ending with a Pig.”可知，十二生肖是以動物為標志的12年周期，從老鼠開始，到豬結(jié)束;根據(jù)第二段第三句“If you were born in 2001, you are a Snake”可知2001年是蛇年，2001與題干1989正好相差12年，也是蛇年，所以B項、C項、D項錯誤。故選A。

33.【答案】D

【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第四句“It’s not because they like Horse so much, but because babies born next month are Goats, which are a zodiac sign not favored by Chinese parents.”可知，這并不是因為他們?nèi)绱讼矚g馬，而是因為下個月出生的嬰兒是山羊，這是中國父母不喜歡的生肖，所以A項、B項、C項錯誤。故選D。

34.【答案】D

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第三句“a Pig girl is believed to be in a perfect romance with Tigers, Goats and Rabbits,”可知，屬豬的女孩和屬虎、羊、兔的男孩最相配，所以A項錯誤;根據(jù)第三段第五句“It’s not because they like Horse so much, but because babies born next month are Goats, which are a zodiac sign not favored by Chinese parents.”可知，家長不是喜歡生肖馬，而是不喜歡生肖羊，所以B項錯誤;根據(jù)第三段第五句和第六句“...but because babies born next month are Goats, which are a zodiac sign not favored by Chinese parents. A Tiger is another undesirable zodiac sign,...”可知，羊和虎是人們并不喜愛的屬相，全文未提及龍這一生肖的不好，所以C項錯誤;根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“As China plays such an important role in the global economy and polities, Chinese culture and traditions have been influencing more people around the world.”可知，中國的傳統(tǒng)文化已經(jīng)影響了世界上更多的人，D項表述正確。故選D。

35.【答案】C

【解析】推理判斷題。novel意為“小說”;film review意為“影評”;magazine意為“雜志”;commercial advertisement意為“商業(yè)廣告”。文章介紹了生肖的相關(guān)內(nèi)容，可能出現(xiàn)在雜志上。故選C。
