Question

Tigers are terrible animals, but a cat is a cute animal.    As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is just a tiger . Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (《虎媽戰(zhàn)歌》), tells us how she gives her two children education.    She says that being strict is the only way to train a child’s talent. Her kids had to obey the following rules. To begin with, her kids weren’t allowed to watch TV or play computer games. Then, they were not allowed to “ hang out ” with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their class. And they had to practice the piano and the violin for hours every day. Of course, she believes this has brought a lot of problems for herself and her kids. But she doesn’t mind because her kids have become great. Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they’re pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really cats. They care more about their children’s self-respect (自尊). They don’t want to be strict with their kids because this may hurt their feelings. With soft words and understanding, they encourage their children to choose for themselves. So is a tiger mom better than a cat mom? It may also depend on the child.

解析試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了中、美兩種教育方法。文章介紹了“虎媽”如何以中國(guó)式教育方法對(duì)孩子施加壓力，嚴(yán)格要求，而美國(guó)母親用溫柔的話語(yǔ)和體會(huì)孩子的心情，關(guān)注孩子的自尊，讓孩子進(jìn)行自我選擇。
【小題1】主旨大意題。聯(lián)系上下文，這篇短文主要講述“虎媽”如何以中國(guó)式教育方法對(duì)孩子施加壓力，嚴(yán)格要求。故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文She says that being strict is the only way to train a child’s talent的描述可知應(yīng)選A。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文To begin with, her kids weren’t allowed to watch TV or play computer games. Then, they were not allowed to “ hang out ” with other kids after school的描述可知，A、B、C選項(xiàng)都符合短文內(nèi)容，故選D，即以上選項(xiàng)都是。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文she doesn’t mind because her kids have become great的描述可知，本句說(shuō)的是事實(shí)。對(duì)反意疑問(wèn)句的回答，無(wú)論問(wèn)題的提法如何，如果事實(shí)是肯定的，就用yes+簡(jiǎn)短肯定句，事實(shí)是否定的，就要用no+簡(jiǎn)短否定句。如果陳述句部分是否定結(jié)構(gòu)，反意疑問(wèn)句部分用肯定式提問(wèn)時(shí)，回答yes或no與漢語(yǔ)正好相反。故選B。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通讀短文，根據(jù)American mothers are really cats. They care more about their children’s self-respect的描述可知，D選項(xiàng)不符合短文內(nèi)容，故應(yīng)選D。
