A
China and Western countries have something different in cultures about some 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 good sentences.
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.
31.

A. Different ideas towards pigs.
B. The same idea towards pigs.

Once upon a time there was a child. He was ready to be born. One day he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to the earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there? You know, I’m so small and helpless(无助的).”
God answered, “Among the many angels, I chose the best for you. She will wait for you and will take care of you for years.”
But the child wasn’t sure if he really wanted to go there. “I don’t do anything else but sing and smile here.”
“Don’t worry! Your angel will sing to you. She will also smile at you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and you’ll be happy,” God said.
“How am I going to be able to understand people when they talk to me?” the child continued. “I don’t know the language at all.”
God patted him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you. You will hear the most beautiful and sweetest words. Don’t worry. Your angel will teach you how to speak.”
“I hear that there are bad men on the earth. Who will protect me?”
“Your angel will protect you even if she loses her life!”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven. They heard the voices from the earth. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God the last question, “Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”
God answered, “Your angel’s name is not hard to remember. You will call her Mom.”

What does Beijing’s Palace Museum look like at night？Many people don’t know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m.in winter and 5:00 p.m.in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing’s Palace Museum opened its door to the public after dark-for two nights only. That’s a first in 94 years！
Although people could get free tickets on the museum’s website, it was difficult to get a ticket. The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time.
Zhang Zhifu, a 77-year-old woman, received a ticket from the museum as a gift. “I grew up in Beijing and I visit the Palace Museum every year, but I never got to see it at night. It is truly an honor,” she said.
In the past celebrating the Lantern Festival was a tradition for the imperial（皇帝的）family. “We want to pass the tradition on and give people more festival experiences.” said Shan Jixiang, the head of the Palace Museum. On the night of February 19th, 2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.

第二节 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。（每小题1分，共5分）
Some students bring lucky charms(吉祥饰物)to school on test days. 41 Of course. Taking a test is similar to running a long race. Runners train before a big race. They practice their skills in the same situation they will face in the race. 42 Practice what you have learned in class so that you can use it in the test.
Just like before a big race, it is a good idea to take care of your basic needs before the test begins. 43 During the day of the test, make sure you get enough to eat. Wear comfortable clothes. These things will help you focus（集中精力）.
When you get a test paper, read the questions very carefully. Make sure you understand what you need to do. What should you do when you feel nervous? 44 They tell themselves things like, “I feel good about myself. I am not going to worry. I will do the best that can.” Give this strategy（策略）a try.
45 So before you hand in your test paper, check（检查）your answers. Check your grammar and spelling and be sure that you answered every question.
Follow these strategies and, if your lucky charms don’t work, you will have a back-up plan（后备计划）in place.
A. You can train in the similar way.
B. Are there any better ways of doing well in a test?
C. It’s important to finish the test first.
D. For example, get enough sleep the night before.
E. Different from a race, it doesn’t matter who finishes first during a test.
F. Some runners talk to themselves when they are having a difficult time.
G. Before a big test, you must train yourself.
