【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【5】A

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要讲述了无论中国还是西方国家对于“猪”这种动物的偏见，在中国和西方国家的语言里都有关于猪的含有贬义的习语，然而一部英国动画片《小猪佩琪》改变了大家对猪的看法，事实上猪身上有很多优良品质。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中but when it comes to pigs. We have the same idea-pigs are ugly，lazy and stupid.但说到猪，我们有同样的想法——猪是丑陋的、懒惰的和愚蠢的。由此可知东西方对“猪”有相同的态度。故答案选A。

【2】词意猜测题。根据后面的句子“However, pigs have some good qualities（ 品质）.” 然而，猪有一些好品质。可知，前面中国和西方国家的语言里都有关于猪的含有贬义的习语。它们都不是赞美之词。可知complimentary的意思为“赞美”。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据However，pigs have some good qualities（品质）.They are even as smart as dogs and elephant s.然而，猪有一些好品质。它们甚至像狗和大象一样聪明，它们有很好的记忆。它们知道人们是否善待它们。由此我们可以知道猪和狗和大象一样聪明，故选C。

【4】细节理解题。根据最后一段Maybe when we talk about pigs next time，we should think of their good qualities.也许下次我们谈论猪的时候，我们应该考虑到它们的优良品质，可知作者在文章中举了两个卡通的例子来说明猪有很好的品质。故答案选A。

【5】标题归纳题。根据Maybe when we talk about pigs next time，we should think of their good qualities.也许下次我们谈论猪的时候，我们应该考虑到它们的优良品质。本文主要是为了给猪正名，打破人们对猪的种种误解和不正确的看法。故答案选A。
