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 (剖宫产) 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.

【试题分析】本文为说明文。主要介绍了中国生肖是什么，有什么人文特点，以及中国文化在世界范围内的影响。

31.【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Have you ever been asked by your Chinese friends, ‘What is your zodiac sign?’”可知，首先通过以询问年龄的方式引入生肖话题，接着第三句“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，第一段询问年龄只是体现了生肖的一个功能，而后又回到生肖的主题。所以A、C选项太片面，D选项不符合段意。故选B。

32.【答案】A

【解析】判断推理题。根据第二段第一句“The zodiac signs is a 12-years cycle marked with animals, starting with a Rat and ending with a Pig.”可知，十二生肖是以动物为标志的12年周期，从老鼠开始，到猪结束;根据第二段第三句“If you were born in 2001, you are a Snake”可知2001年是蛇年，2001与题干1989正好相差12年，也是蛇年，所以B项、C项、D项错误。故选A。

33.【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的第四句“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，这并不是因为他们如此喜欢马，而是因为下个月出生的婴儿是山羊，这是中国父母不喜欢的生肖，所以A项、B项、C项错误。故选D。

34.【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“a Pig girl is believed to be in a perfect romance with Tigers, Goats and Rabbits,”可知，属猪的女孩和属虎、羊、兔的男孩最相配，所以A项错误;根据第三段第五句“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，家长不是喜欢生肖马，而是不喜欢生肖羊，所以B项错误;根据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，羊和虎是人们并不喜爱的属相，全文未提及龙这一生肖的不好，所以C项错误;根据最后一段最后一句“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，中国的传统文化已经影响了世界上更多的人，D项表述正确。故选D。

35.【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。novel意为“小说”;film review意为“影评”;magazine意为“杂志”;commercial advertisement意为“商业广告”。文章介绍了生肖的相关内容，可能出现在杂志上。故选C。
