第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）Moscow city authorities have begun using comics（漫画）with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants（移民）how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册).
Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus（高加索）and Nor th Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.
The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to mig rants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely（例行公事）stop them to check their documents.
In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies（执法机关）, while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language and history. A specia l section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry.
The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian.
"We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.
Migrant characters had initially(最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin.
"The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to
understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.
1、The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____".
A．friends B．acquaintances
C．cooperators D．opponents
2、People from other countries come to Moscow "_____".
A．to find well-paid jobs B．to have a new lifestyle
C．to enjoy the fine climate D．to experience a new culture
3、The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".
A．consequences the migrants may suffer
B．the purpose of publishing the handbook
C．the measures to attract foreign migrants
D．characters and their functions in Russian fairytales
4、Which of the following would be the best title of the text?
A．Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in Russia
B．Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobs
C．More and more foreign migrants to work in Moscow
D．Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behave
22．（8分）Years ago,my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles,US,preparing meals for thousands of people.I got to talk with one of the guys in line,Albert.He said he liked my socks.“Want to see mine?”he asked,lifting his leg.He was barefoot.He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn’t got around to it.I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.
The next day,after work,I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks.I stuffed my trunk with them.That next morning,I set my alarm for 5 a.m.and drove over to Santa Monica’s Palisades Park,which is a common destination for homeless people.
I took one of the bags from my trunk.It was still darkout.I headed for a group of three men,standing around a tree,probably using it as a windbreaker.Two were asleep under heavy blankets,and the third was digging through his collection.As I walked toward him,he watched me,perhaps questioning my motives.“I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,”I said,handing him a pair.He looked confused at first but took them and said,“Thank you.”I gave him two more pairs for his friends.
I moved on.An hour later,I had given out all the socks.Most people were sleeping,and I felt like Santa.I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.
That was nine years ago.Every week I’ll hand out as many socks as I can.If I’m on vacation or on a bu siness trip for more than a week,I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.
It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar” to help make some people’s lives a little bit easier.Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days,but even if I don’t,I like to think one of the pairs will find him.
1、What caused the author to hand out socks to the homeless?
A．Albert’s desire to get free socks.
B．The approach of Christmas Day.
C．His hard work at a homeless shelter.
D．The conversation between him and Albert.
2、Which is true about the author according to the passage?
A．He believed it felt good to help the homeless.
B．He went to Ross to buy a pair of socks for Albert.
C．He handed out socks to the homeless as Christmas gifts.
D．He was often questioned about why he was giving out socks.
3、What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Santa Claus brings Christmas gifts
B．Kindness is rewarded with kindness
C．Every sock helps make somebod y’s day
D．Socks are passed on from hand to hand
23．（8分）“Mom, what is that?” asked my son. “The Bride of Chucky?”
The old doll I was holding was pretty scary. Her glass eyes were especially horrible, closing when she stood upright and flying open when she lay flat. Once she had been loved, but she had been stored in an attic (阁楼) for decades, where the extremes of heat and cold can be hard on a girl’s looks. Throw her in the waste bin? Maybe. But first, let’s check eBay.
I clicked, supplied the required information about condition, including defects (i.e., “Only a miracle could save this doll”), and uploaded its photos. I sold it for $5.
The buyer was happy: “As described!” he wrote on my feedback page. “Super seller!” The doll found a home and, I hope, a new life. Maybe she was used to repair other dolls. Perhaps those strange eyes got fixed and once again can inspire a child’s love. It’s a win-win, if you ask me.
I also sold lots of other stuff. None of them brought in a lot of money, though I have been surprised at the occasional
bidding war, like, for example, the one over an old swimsuit that would have made Brigitte Bardot look bad. And some customers, let’s face it, are strange. Recently I had a hard time convincing an Australian would-be buyer of an Irish souvenir bell that I don’t shop internationally; it’s just too much trouble. He could have flown to Ireland and bought his own bell for the price he was willing to pay. Another time, a buyer complained that the electric wire on an old radio was dirty. Really? Dirty? The wire was black. But I aim to please, so I offered a refund.
So why bother with the dealing and small profits? Because I don’t like abandoning the past. All these treasures once had stories. They meant something. But the people who gave them that meaning are gone, and I simply cannot rescue everything. I can’t even sew. So I find it satisfying that a new owner, discovered via eBay, will continue the story in his o r her own way.
1、What was the doll like?
A．It was lovely.
B．It was beautiful.
C．It looked frightening.
D．It was pretty ordinary.
2、Which can best replace the underlined word “defects” in Paragraph 3?
A．Faults.
B．Virtues.
C．Pictures.
D．Requirements.
3、Why did the author refuse to sell the Australian the bell?
A．She thought he was strange.
B．His bid was not high enough.
C．Someone else had already bought it.
D．Delivering it to him was troublesome.
4、After receiving the complaint about the radio, the author ______.
A．felt deeply sorry
B．explained patiently
C．returned the money
D．apologized immediately
5、Why does the author sell used stuff via eBay?
A．She needs money badly.
B．She is an environmentalist.
C．She is interested in marketing.
D．She wants their stories to be continued.
24．（8分）Two years ago，Dimas Aliprandi and Elton Plaster didn’t know of each other’s existence．Then they learned they had been switched at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago．The discovery didn’t bring bitterness．Rather，it led to the creation of a bigger family.
The chain of events started with Dimas，who was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with．He was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a TV news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals．He wanted to do a DNA test，but it was too expensive for the family．
A decade later，Dimas did it on his own．The DNA test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him．The news was a shock for his parents．They at first refused to believe the results，but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents．
The search began at the Madre Regina Protmann Hospital where records were checked．The hospital searched its records and found Elton Plaster was born there on the same day．
The records led Dimas to the 35-acre farm where Piaster lived，with his parents，Nilza and Adelson，in the town of Santa Maria de Jetiba，about 30 miles from the Aliprandi home in Joao Neiva．After tests，the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman that Dimas had been calling Mom and Dad for 24 years．Meanwhile，the couple Elton，had always regarded as his biological parents were Dimas’ parents.
About a year ago，Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm，where they built a home．“This is the way it should be，”Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV．“We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here．”
1、Who was the first to discover the baby switch?
A．Elton Plaster．B．Dimas Aliprandi．C．Globo TV．D．The hospital．
2、Where do the Aliprandis now live?
A．In Sao Pauo．B．In Joao Neiva．
C．In Madre Regina Protmann．D．In Santa Maria de Jetiba．
3、What did the Aliprandis do when they knew about the baby switch?
A．They took another DNA test.
B．They switched the hospital’s records.
C．They helped Dimas find his birth parents.
D．They went to Globo TV for more information.
4、Who are Elton Plaster’s biological parents?
A．The Aliprandis．B．The Plasters．
C．Dimas and Elton．D．Nilza and Adelson．
25．（10分）American actress Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for her work in the 1992 movie My Cousin Vinny. People laughed when they saw her film character telling a boyfriend that they need to get married. Why marriage? Because her biological clock is ticking and she wants a baby.
“Well I hate to bring it up because I know you got enough pressure on you already. But…we agreed to get married as soon as you won your first case(law case). Meanwhile, ten years later…my niece…the daughter of my sister is getting married. My biological clock is ticking like this (stomp, stomp, stomp). And the way this case is going…I ain’t never getting married.”
“Lisa, I don’t need this. I swear to God I don’t need this right now.”
Using it this way, a biological clock means the time in a wo man’s life when she is able to bear children. In the
not-so-distant past, most people thought that when a woman reached her 40s it was too late for her to have children. The time on her biological clock had run out.
Well, that has changed. These days some women are resetting their biological clocks. They are giving themselves more time to have children.
Make no mistake. Being a “Single Mother by Choice” is very different from younger women who find themselves pregnant, perhaps not by choice.
Generally speaking, single mothers by choice are older and well educated. They are usually financially secure and successful in their careers. So, they have the money. What they may not have is a partner.
This is the place in life where writer Kerry Reichs found herself several years ago. She says she did not plan to become a single mother. She says she just did not find the right partner.
“Well, I think I had a set of standards for the partner I was looking for and I didn’t meet anyone that fit those standards. And, at 39 I found myself single, without children and I wanted them very much. So, I made the difficult decision that I could do this on my own.
1、According to the passage, what is a biological clock?
A．It’s a clock made of biological matters.
B．It refers to a wom en’s certain life period.
C．It records when women need to bear children.
D．It refers to a woman in her 40s.
2、According to the passage, in the past, when a woman reached her 40s, ________.
A．she can’t get married.B．she might not be able to have children.
C．her biological clock will need to be reset. D．her status of being a single mother is difficult.
3、What does “Single Mother by Choice” mean?
A．It means single mothers have a choice.
B．It means single mothers are pregnant by chance.
C．It means single women in their late 30s or early 40s decided to have children.
D．It means women want to make a choice.
4、What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Choosing to be a single mother. B．A woman’s biological clock.
C．Getting married by force. D．Single women wanting marriage.

29、Dear Frank,
How is everything going? I’m glad to receive your letter and share my trip with you.
With much excitement my family paid a visit toone of the most famous scenic spots in Shanxi, the Ancient City of Pingyao during May Day. As a WorldCultural Heritage Site, it dates back over 2, 700 years,in which many traditions are still kept by the peopleliving in it. There we also appreciated awell-known live-action performance directed byWang Chaoge, which left us with a deep impressionof a touching story. We were amazedtodiscover how attractive the small city was while wandering along the main street, exploring a variety of goods in shops and tastingdelicious local foods. Exhausted as we were, our trip to Pingyao wasreally unforgettable!
Looking forward to your coming to China.
Yours,
Li Hua。
