Question

12．閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題．
Tigers are fierce animals．They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness，quickness and strength．A pussycat，on the other hand，is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring．
As a mother，the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger．Her book，Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother（虎媽戰(zhàn)歌）．tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children．She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential（ 潛力） and to make them strong，independent and successful．Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games．They were not allowed to"hang out"with other kids after school．They had to be the top students in their classes．And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day．As a result，her kids became successful．She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets （后悔）．
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 pussycats．They care more about their children's self-esteem （自尊）．They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings． American mothers encourage their children to find their own path．
So，is a tiger mom better than a pussycat？Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures．It may also depend on the child himself．Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand．To growl or to purr？There is no easy answer．

72．What's the Tiger Mother，Amy Chua's idea on children's education？（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題）She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential and to make them strong，independent and successful．．
73．How did Amy Chua's kids become successful？（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容列舉兩條）
（1）They were not allowed to watch TV or play video games．
（2）They were not allowed to"hang out"with other kids after school．
74．Why are most Asian mothers tigers？（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題）Because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough．
75．請將第三段中句子翻譯成漢語．美國媽媽鼓勵孩子們尋找自己的人生道路．
76．What kind of mother would you like，a tiger or a pussycat？And why？（先回答，然后至少寫一個句子說明原因）I'd like a tiger mother．Because it seems to be strict，but it's good for me．/I'd like a pussycat mother．Because I hate to be pushed hard．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文．主要敘述了一位華裔美國人Amy---"虎媽"的故事．她對自己的兩個孩子要求很嚴格，兩位孩子也都取得了成功．而美國媽媽還是注重孩子的自尊，以及自我發(fā)展．

解答 72．答案She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential and to make them strong，independent and successful．
考查細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段中的"She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential（ 潛力） and to make them strong，independent and successful"
73．答案（1）They were not allowed to watch TV or play video games．
（2）They were not allowed to"hang out"with other kids after school．
（3）They had to be the top students in their classes．
（4）They had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day．
考查細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段中的"Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games．They were not allowed to"hang out"with other kids after school．They had 
to be the top students in their classes．And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day．"可知從這四個句子任選兩個填上即可．
74．答案 Because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough．
考查細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough"可知這就是大部分的亞裔的媽媽成為虎媽的原因．
75．答案 美國媽媽鼓勵孩子們尋找自己的人生道路．
考查語句翻譯題．主語是American mothers，句子含有一個結(jié)構(gòu)"encourage…to…"鼓勵某人做某事．只要表達準確、通順，與參考答案意思相近即可．
76．答案I'd like a tiger mother．Because it seems to be strict，but it's good for me．/I'd like a pussycat mother．Because I hate to be pushed hard．
考查自主表達題．這是一個開放性題目，答案不固定．因為問的就是a tiger or a pussycat，所以要明確表明觀點，也就是喜歡哪一個類型，并要說明喜歡的明原因．只要學生能表達清楚，寫的句子符合要求，即可得分．

點評 首先要認真閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結(jié)合給出的題目，再去閱讀短文，找到相關(guān)的信息，加以提煉升華，最終做出正確答案．
