【正文】 A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6,000 copies of the book were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three. The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(殘忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge39。s youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He bees generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk39。s sick son, Tiny Tim. Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守財奴), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.（1）What do we know about the book A Christmas Carol? was written in the early 19th century. pleted the book in a week. has been adapted for cinema and television. didn39。t attract readers when published for the first time.（2）The third spirit shows Scrooge . he will die and who will care about him others care about his present life and how he will die alone his future life will be like（3）The underlined part Scrooge repents probably means . feels sorry for what he has done does things as he did before is angry with the three spirits gives the three spirits a hand【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應用文，敘述了狄更斯的出名作品《圣誕頌歌》，介紹了它的主要內(nèi)容。這本書被改變成多部電視劇和電影，很受人們的歡迎。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema.”可知，它被改編成電視劇和電影。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone...”可知，第三個精靈向他展示他將孤獨地死去。由此可以推斷出，第三個精靈把他帶入了一個未來的世界，讓他看到未來自己的結(jié)局。故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“He bees generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk39。s sick son, Tiny Tim.”吝嗇鬼改變了以前的做法，他感覺以前的做法對不住人，后悔以前所做的一切。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇介紹類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 The Outdoor City Adventure Book Festival For one week in July, Sheffield Central Library bees the center of adventure in the Outdoor City.
