Ⅶ.[2019·娄底改编] 阅读理解
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 U.K. 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, My Life as McDull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, McDull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but McDull 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.
(　　)38.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
D.different ideas towards numbers
(　　)39.What does the underlined word “compli-mentary” mean in Chinese
A.固执的 B.赞美的
C.负面的 D.不屑的
(　　)40.From the third paragraph, we can learn that 　　　　.
A.pigs have bad memories
B.pigs only can eat and sleep
C.pigs are as clever as dogs and elephants
D.pigs don't know who treats them well
(　　)41.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.pigs are silly and ugly
D.both Chinese and English children like pigs
(　　)42.What's the best title of the passage
A.Opinions on Pigs
B.Opinions on Animals
C.Opinions on Cartoons
D.Opinions on Cultures
Ⅷ.词语运用
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词(有提示词的,填入所给单词的正确形式)。
As the saying goes, smiling is sunshine in everyone's heart. 43.　　　　 I started to go to primary school, my teacher Mr. Wei told me the 44.　　　　(important) of smiling. He told me that 45.　　　　 was simple behaviour which was very powerful. It can give people warm feelings and show your respect to 46.　　　　(other). Since a smile is a positive(积极的) attitude, we can often smile to 47.　　　　(our) to become confident and happy. Although there are some situations where we may experience hardship or even 48.　　　　(fail), we can always smile to ourselves. It can help us overcome many 49.　　　　(difficult) as well as succeed in the end. 50.　　　　(learn) to smile at others is also beneficial. When we smile at others, we can get a smile 51.　　　　 return. Then it can put us in a good mood. What's more, it can also help us build a good relationship with others. In one word, smiling is a language which can help others understand us better. Therefore, let's start to smile and live a better and 52.　　　　(happy) life.
