A
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 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 Scrooge's 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 clerk's 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。

B．Dickens completed the book in a week.
C．It has been adapted for cinema and television.
D．It didn't attract readers when published for the first time.
解析：选C 细节理解题。从第一段的“the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema”可知，《圣诞颂歌》被多次翻拍成电视和电影。
2．The third spirit shows Scrooge ________.
A．where he will die and who will care
B．how others care about his present life
C．when and how he will die alone
D．what his future life will be like
解析：选D 推理判断题。从第三段的“The final spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has”可知，第三个精灵给 Ebenezer Scrooge 展示了他的未来生活。
3．The underlined part “Scrooge repents” in Para.3 probably means “________”．
A．Scrooge feels sorry for what he has done
B．Scrooge does things as he did before
C．Scrooge is angry with the three spirits

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home 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 two?thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn't 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 other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”， and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other's body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously expected. Once familiar with each other's 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 don't 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。
4．The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．early B．mostly
C．quickly D．smoothly
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。
5．What is found surprising about cats and dogs
A．They eat and sleep together.
B．They watch each other's behaviors.
C．They learn to speak each other's language.
D．They know something from each other's voices.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language.”可知它们能学会彼此的语言，故选C项。
6．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A．have common interests
B．are less different than was thought
C．have a common body language
D．are not so smart as was expected
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“They can learn to read each other's body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously expected.”可知它们不像人们之前想的那样不同，B正确。
7．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs
A．We should learn to get along well with others.
B．We should know more about animals.

Michael J．“Crocodile Dundee”(also called Mick), played by Paul Hogan, is the main character in the fictional Crocodile Dundee film series consisting of Crocodile Dundee, Crocodile Dundee Ⅱ， and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. The character is a crocodile hunter, hence the nickname.
In the first film, Crocodile Dundee, Mick is visited by a New York reporter, Sue Charlton, who travels to Australia to investigate a report she heard of a crocodile hunter, who had his leg bitten off by a crocodile in the outback. The hunter supposedly walked more than a hundred miles back to civilization and miraculously survived his injuries. However, by the time she meets him, the story turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated legend where the “bitten off leg” turns out to be just being some bad scarring on his leg; a “love bite” as Mick calls it. Still interested by the idea of“Crocodile Dundee”， Sue continues with the story. They travel together out to where the incident occurred, and follow his route through the bush to the nearest hospital. Despite his old?fashioned views, the pair eventually become close, especially after Mick saves Sue from a crocodile attack.
Feeling there is still more to the story, Sue invites Mick back to New York with her, as his first trip to a city (or “first trip anywhere” as Dundee says). The rest of the film depicts Dundee as a “fish out of water” showing how, despite his expert knowledge of living outdoors, he knows little of city life. Mick meets Sue's boyfriend, Richard, but they do not get along. By the end of the film, Mick is on his way home, lovesick, when Sue realizes she loves Mick, too, and not Richard. She runs to the subway station to stop Mick from leaving and, by passing on messages through the packed?to?the?gills crowd, she tells him she won't marry Richard, and she loves him instead. With the help of the other people in the subway, Mick and Sue have a loving reunion as the film ends.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me.“Thanks.”

Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
阅读理解
A
Two newspapers that revealed government secrets about spying by the National Security Agency — The Washington Post and The Guardian — will share the Pulitzer Prize for public service, announced Monday.
The Pulitzers are the best known and most honorable awards for the arts and journalism in the U．S. The Washington Post and Guardian stories were based on thousands of documents handed over by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. American and British lawmakers criticized the newspapers for revealing government secrets, but the Pulitzer judges, mostly journalists, praised what they called “authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the revealing fits into the larger system of national security.”
The Pulitzer for fiction goes to Donna Tartt for her best selling novel The Goldfinch. The Pulitzer judges called Tartt's The Goldfinch “a beautifully written coming?of?age novel that touches the heart”. It follows a sad boy's involvement with a famous painting which he takes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art after a terrorist bombing. USA TODAY named it one of our 10 favorite books of 2013. In a 4?star review for USA TODAY, Kevin Nance called the novel a “very entertaining, darkly funny new book, that goes a long way toward explaining why its author is finally securing her place alongside the greatest American novelists of the past half?century, including John_Updike,_Philip_Roth,_Toni_Morrison_and_that_other_latter?day_Dickensian,_John_Irvine.”

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair?weather friends, who will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠)．
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
