Passage C
实际用时: minutes
Read the passage and then choose the right answers.
Many Chinese mothers are afraid that their children will fall behind their classmates, so these mothers are becoming "tiger mothers". They believe the harder their children study, the happier life they will have in the future. Is it true? Lulu and her sister Sophia may have a say.
Lulu and Sophia have a "tiger mother". She pushed them a lot when they were young. For example, they were not allowed to get grades lower than A's. They had to practice the piano or violin for several hours a day. There were no games or TV shows.
The "tiger mother", Amy, is a Chinese - American professor at Yale Law School in the USA. Several years ago, she wrote a book named *Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother* and shared her strict parenting style (育儿方式) in it.
Many people don't like Amy's style of parenting. They once worried that her daughters would not be happy. However, the two girls have grown up and they are thankful to their mother. Sophia has just graduated from Yale University. She is hard - working, friendly and helpful. Not long ago, she shared some useful studying tips online. Lulu is also a warm, smart and popular girl in her friends' eyes. She said "tiger mothers" believed that a child could succeed by being pushed to go all out.
Still, not everyone agrees with the "tiger mother's" parenting style. In fact, there isn't a parenting style that fits everyone. What's the best parenting style for you? Maybe you should work it out together with your parents.

【分析】本题为英语阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握主旨（围绕“虎妈”Amy的育儿方式及不同看法展开），再针对每道题目回到原文定位相关语句，逐一分析选项正误，选出符合原文内容或主旨的答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第四段最后一句“tiger mothers believed that a child could succeed by being pushed to go all out”，可知虎妈认为严格督促孩子能帮助他们成功，对应选项C。A选项与原文“Many Chinese mothers are afraid that their children will fall behind their classmates”相悖；B选项与原文“they are thankful to their mother”不符；D选项与原文“the harder their children study, the happier life they will have in the future”矛盾，排除A、B、D，选C。
2. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段“Lulu and Sophia have a 'tiger mother'”及第三段“The 'tiger mother', Amy”，可知Amy是两个女孩的妈妈，对应选项C。A选项错误，Amy是美国耶鲁大学教授，并非在中国教书；B选项错误，原文未提及Amy爱拉小提琴；D选项错误，原文提到“Many people don't like Amy's style of parenting”，排除A、B、D，选C。
3. 细节理解题：根据原文第四段“they are thankful to their mother”及对两女孩的正面描述（Sophia分享学习技巧，Lulu受欢迎），可知女儿们认为妈妈是伟大的，对应选项A。B、C、D均不符合原文，故选A。
4. 推理判断题：根据原文最后一段“there isn't a parenting style that fits everyone”，可推断出不同孩子需要不同育儿方式，对应选项D。A选项错误，虎妈是华裔美国人，并非仅存于中国；B选项错误，原文仅提Sophia毕业于耶鲁，未提Lulu；C选项错误，原文提到Lulu是“popular girl”，排除A、B、C，选D。
5. 主旨大意题：文章围绕“虎妈”的育儿方式展开，讨论其利弊及不同看法，选项B“Do you want a 'tiger mother'”贴合主旨。A选项仅涉及两女孩，过于片面；C选项“Chinese mothers”范围过大；D选项“如何成为虎妈”并非重点，故选B。
