(英語)英語閱讀理解(社會(huì)文化)模擬試題及解析一、高中英語閱讀理解社會(huì)文化類1.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Moscow city authorities have begun using ics (漫畫) with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants (移民) how they should behave. They say a 100page 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 (手冊(cè)). Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from exSoviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus (高加索) and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital39。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 don39。ts to migrants. 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, Russia39。s famous three warriors are meant to represent the city39。s law enforcement agencies (執(zhí)法機(jī)關(guān)), 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 Russia39。s language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow39。s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported (驅(qū)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 book39。s authors later decided to drop this idea so as not to offend anyone, said Mr. Kalinin. The old conflict between Russian heroes and nonSlavic 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 ________.

Many sleep experts hope it will be a wakeup call. According to a poll (民意調(diào)查) by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don39。t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won39。t do well without more. But the survey found that, on weekdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six hours. To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We39。re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives. “When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center. A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn39。t function as well during the day. But sleeping has an image problem.“We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children.“We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat. In fact,”she adds,“no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can39。t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.”(1)The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means . A.waking up the sleepersB.drawing people39。s attentionC.serving as a morning call1
