But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this. A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by British writer Charles Dickens (1812-1870). It is about an old man 17 Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He only thinks about himself and is 18 to share things with others. He doesnt treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make 19 and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was 20 after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesnt want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect 21 ghosts to visit him.That 22 , the ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds him 23 his happy days as a child. Then the second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see 24 others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the 25 . Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so 26 that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning Christmas Day!Scrooge decides to change his life and 27 to be a kind person.

He was walking along the sidewalk. Suddenly, he saw a white car coming around the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help. The two drivers were arguing. “You came around the corner too fast,” one man said. “No!” said the driver of the white car, “Thats not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place”. Stanley listened to their argument and then said the white car driver was wrong to drive too fast. The driver of the red car asked Stanley to prove he was right in court(法庭). Stanley gave the driver his name and telephone number. Next Thursday morning, Stanley was asked to go to the court. The lawyer(律师) for the driver of the white car asked him a lot of questions about what he had seen. Then he asked Stanley how old he was. “I am eighty-two.” answered Stanley. “Do you usually wear glasses?” asked the lawyer. “Yes, I do.” answered Stanley. “Were you wearing them on the night of the accident?” the lawyer asked. “No, ” replied Stanley. Then the lawyer said, “Why should the court believe you?” You are eighty-two years old, you were not wearing your glasses, and it was dark. How far can you see in the dark? Stanley thought about for a minute, “Well,”he said, “when its dark, I can see the moon. How far is that?”( )31The cause of the accident is that _.

Maybe you are the best in your class. In the last few exams one or two even several classmates have got higher marks than you. How do you feel? Are you jealous of them? Are you grateful to them? Please think it over after reading the following text. You will probably learn a lot.Once a zoologist worked on antelopes (羚羊) which were living on both sides of a river in the Republic of South Africa. He discovered that the antelopes on the east side multiplied (繁殖) more quickly and ran faster than those on the west. The zoologist was puzzled (困惑) after long thought about the difference. As two groups of antelopes lived in the same environment and they fed on the same kind of grass.One year, with the help of the Animal Protecting Society, he caught ten antelopes on each side and exchanged them. A year later, the ten antelopes sent to the west bank multiplied by fourteen while only three of the ones sent to the east remained. Where are the other seven? They had been eaten by wolves!At last the zoologist understood why the antelopes on the east were stronger. That was because on the east side there were living a group of wolves -their natural enemy! Now everything is plain sailing in your life. Its your opponents (对手) that you are improving indeed, so thanks must go to your opponents. Its a true!( )34. The zoologist was puzzled when he found _.A. the two groups of antelopes lived in the same environment.B. the two groups of antelopes fed on the same kind of grass.C. the antelopes on the east side ran faster than those on the west.D. the antelopes on the west side multiplied more than those on the east.( )35.

It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called Internet of things is developing. The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether its a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器). So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别) peoples faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know whos there. If the person is someone you dont know, it can tell you that, too. But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) dont have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014. So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.( )37. The Samsung CEOs speech is mentioned to prove that_. A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner B. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently C. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things D. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things( )38. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _. A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not B. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes inC. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the users smartphone( )39. According to the passage, it is mentioned that_ the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low your fridge provides the drinks for you the chair warms up if you feel cold your favourite music starts playing your washing machine starts working A. B. C. D.( )40. Whats the problem about the Internet of things? A. Companies which produce connected-home devices havent joined together. B. Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked. C. Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet. D. These new devices are produced by different companies.四、 词汇（本大题分AB两部分，共20小题，每小题0.5分，共10分）A) 根据句意及中文、首字母提示或英文解释，补全单词。41.
