解析
【分析】
这是一篇介绍中西方动物相关文化表达的阅读理解题，解题思路如下：
1. 先快速浏览所有题干，明确每道题的考查方向，带着问题回原文定位对应内容，避免盲目读文浪费时间；
2. 细节类题目直接找到题干对应的原文语句，比对选项和原文释义就能选出正确答案；
3. 词义猜测题结合划线词所在的上下文语境，代入选项验证逻辑通顺度即可推导词义；
4. 主旨大意题要通读全文，排除只覆盖部分内容、完全偏离主题的干扰项，选出最贴合全文核心的标题。
【解析】
我们逐题分析：
1. 第1题：定位原文第一段对应a cold fish的说明语句"It means he or she isn't helpful."，可知这个短语指代不肯提供帮助的人，对应选项D unhelpful，A选项和原文含义相反，B、C无原文依据，因此选D。
2. 第2题：题干描述的是Jim在大家写作业时大声喧哗炫耀、打扰所有人的行为，完全匹配原文中"You are a black sheep"对应的使用场景：总打扰所有人、给整个群体带来麻烦的人，因此选A。
3. 第3题：划线词所在句后文紧接着举例龙在中国文化里的象征含义，父母普遍望子成龙，说明中文语境下的动物词汇是用来对应、指代不同类型的人，将四个选项代入语境验证，只有“代表”逻辑最通顺，因此选B。
4. 第4题：全文核心是介绍中西方不同国家的文化里，和动物相关的词汇有着完全不同的含义，A选项只提到动物有不同含义，没有点明核心前提“不同国家的文化差异”，过于片面；B、C选项完全偏离文章主题，只有D选项完整覆盖全文内容，因此选D。
【答案】
1.D 2.A 3.B 4.D
