Have you ever heard the expression “when pigs fly” It is a saying people use to express that something is very unlikely to happen—as unlikely as pigs growing wings and flying like a bird! For example, a person who hates riding roller coasters (过山车) might tell a friend, “I'll go on that ride with you when pigs fly”．
Well, one pig in San Francisco may not be flying, but she is helping people relax before they fly in a plane.
LiLou is a small pig working at the San Francisco airport. She is a therapy (理疗) animal. That means she is calm and likes to be touched by humans. She and other therapy animals aim to help travelers who get nervous about flying in planes. She was trained by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)．
This is LiLou's first week on the job as a member of the airport's “wag brigade”. She only works at the airport once a month, so not all travelers to the San Francisco airport will see her. But you might see some of her fellow therapy animals.
She works alongside a group of trained dogs. Their trainers walk around the airport with them. The animals wear signs that say “pet me” !
LiLou has been getting a lot of attention at the airport and on social media. One Twitter user said he made fun of the San Francisco airport's decision to provide a relaxing yoga room for travelers, but he “fully supports LiLou”．
Jennifer Henley is the manager of the SPCA's pro gram. “It's wonderful to witness (看到) the surprise and delight that LiLou brings to people during therapy visits，” she said.
1．Why does the author mention an expression about pigs
A．To value animals. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To explain its meaning. D．To show its importance.
2．How does the small pig work
A．By taking the plane with passengers.
B．By making passengers feel excited.
C．By helping passengers calm down.
D．By touching and looking after passengers.
3．What can we learn about the San Francisco airport
A．It has trained many therapy animals.
B．It will put LiLou in a relaxing yoga room.
C．It has great concerns about passengers' safety.
D．It thinks of more than one way to help passengers relax.
4．What is Jennifer Henley's attitude towards the pig program
A．Proud. B．Surprised.
C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful.
B
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source (来源) of inspiration for designers，” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A ＋E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook，” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement. ” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking_on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales，” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers，” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways. ”
5．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A．It promoted the sales of artworks.
B．It attracted a large number of visitors.
C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
6．What does Hill say about Chinese women
A．They are setting the fashion.
B．They start many fashion campaigns.
C．They admire super models.
D．They do business all over the world.
7．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean
A．learning from B．looking down on
C．working with D．competing against
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C．Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new. “As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring, ” said Kong. He also felt that playing Chinese folk music on the piano could help bring it to the rest of the world.
Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn't always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5 year old Kong would practice on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practice the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986, at the age of 18, he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.
Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This was why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert was the result.
Kong's new experiment in Chinese folk music was so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!
Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong's Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.

5．A　句意：我的爸爸和爷爷总会让我练习打棒球，而我直到十年级左右才为之付出努力(effort)。根据上文内容可知，作者讨厌棒球，由此推知，他之前并未为此付出努力。故A项最符合语境。wealth“财富”；promise“承诺”；trust“信任”。

9．B　此处表示“他们只是想和我分享他们生命中特别的(special)那一部分”。从上文可知，棒球对“我”的家人们来说是非常重要的、特别的，所以尽管“我”不喜欢，爸爸和爷爷还是迫使“我”练习。故B项最符合语境。normal“正常的”；short“短的”；general“一般的；普通的；大体的”。
