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 appealing? 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 to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first reveals scenes from Scrooges youth that led to this current 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 final 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 becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerks sick son, Tiny Tim.Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol again. 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, Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章讲述了查尔斯狄更斯的圣诞颂歌的写作背景及其主要情节。1What do we know about the book A Christmas Carol?AIt was written in the early 19th century.BDickens completed the book in a week.

People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In twothirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship. However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission (顺从). In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”， and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”. Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each others body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously expected. Once familiar with each others body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. 语篇解读： 本文是一篇说明文。通过科学研究表明猫和狗在一定的情况下是能够和平相处的。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个月，狗不到一年，他们就能顺利地和平相处。通过观察，他们不能和平相处的原因是他们之间误解了彼此的身势语。但有趣的是猫和狗能够相互学习彼此的身势语，这样他们就能和平相处。4The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_”Aearly BmostlyCquickly Dsmoothly解析：选D词义猜测题。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个月，狗不到一年，他们就能顺利地和平相处。2/3被采访的家庭也表明这样的结果，故选D项。5What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
