A gift from my fatherCMoscow city authorities have begun using ics (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'1 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 (高力口索)and North 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 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, Russia's famous "three warriors" arc meant to represent the city's law enforcement agencies (%( 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 special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow's strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported©区逐出境)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.nWe want to raise their level of law awareness,'1 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.8. The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by ”H.A.friendsB.acquaintancesC.cooperatorsD.opponents9. People from other countries e to Moscow ”A to find well-paid jobsB.to have a new lifestyleC.to enjoy the fine climateD.to experience anew culture10. The third paragraph is mainly about1'A. consequences the migrants may sufferB the purpose of publishing the handbookC the measures to attract foreign migrantsD. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales11. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD. Moscow fairy tale ics to help migrants behaveDBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies ar已“The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in mon in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have munication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants municate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to municate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference“ to acplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants aepany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate plex actions and acplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.12. What do ants and bees have in mon?A. They make use of collective intelligence.B. They live in similar-sized colonies.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same method to municate with each other.13. What docs the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The distance to a neighboring colony.B The quality of a new colony location.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.14. In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reason.C. By presenting study findings.D. By stating opinions.15. What does the underlined part "foraging skills“ refer to in the third Paragraph?A. The skills of municating.B. The skills of sacking food.C. The skills of leaning.D. The skills of finding a new home.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Rising through stages to realize ourselvesMany modem people have the problem that they don't know who they are and what their purpose is. 16 . Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs (需求理论),Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person's need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. 17 .I think self- realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them. 18 .Once we've accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. 19 , but indeed we should live fbr ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves "Is this what we truly desire?” and "Is this going to change the situation we're in?”The last stage is perseverance. 20 . Those who can self-realize are people who fbcus on the things they want to change.Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.A. It's nothing to a man of perseveranceB. Only by acceptance of the past can we change itC. This is especially mon among college studentsD. Many people tend to go along with social expectationsE. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptanceF. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purposeG.
