Dear Helen Keller,
I'm glad to write to you again to tell you how your book has influenced me.
I read that you really brought your parents lots of 1 and that they didn't know what to do. Then they found a great 2 for you—Ms Sullivan. With great patience, she showed and taught you that there was a word to describe every object and idea. Because of Ms Sullivan, you're now able to 3 and write by touch.
I also read that you love to ask questions. So now, I do the same thing as you do. It really helps me a lot to 4. I am learning more now than I ever did before I lost my hearing. Maybe my mother is 5 when she says "Every cloud has a silver lining. *" Even when something seems really bad, a 6 thing can come from it.
I have a best friend Anna Bailey in my city. When I lost my hearing, I 7 I would lose this friend. I thought she might want to play only with people who could hear. But I was wrong. Anna stayed 8 with me. She even helped me. She told me I would get used to being deaf. "It might take some time," she said, "but you'll find your feet * *." She made me feel 9.
When I first heard about you, I was really 10 and interested. Even though you are deaf and blind, you can do almost anything! You even went to college. You are like a hero to me. I hope that one day I can visit you.
Yours,
Amelia Grant

Girl: I want to have children and raise a family. Why must we wait?
Scrooge: I do not have enough money yet. Marriage is expensive.

答案
【解题导语】 本文节选自《圣诞颂歌》,主要讲述的是几个圣诞精灵与吝啬鬼 Scrooge 之间的故事。
1. A 句意理解题。画线句子的意思是:第一个精灵带着吝啬鬼 Scrooge 回到了过去。吝啬鬼 Scrooge 看到年轻时的自己。他正在和一个漂亮的女孩说话。所以画线句解释了本情景中的人物角色正在做的事情。故选 A。
2. D 细节理解题。由 SCENE 2 部分的“She lives a happy life now”可知,那个女孩现在过着幸福的生活。故选 D。
3. C 信息还原题。空前句子“He has so much money”说明他很有钱;又由空后句子“Doesn’t he care about other people?”可知,空处与他为富不仁有关,C 选项符合上下文逻辑,故选 C。
4. B 推理判断题。由 SCENE1 和 SCENE 2 部分的“She married and had a family. She lives a happy life now. She was never rich, but her husband earned enough to provide a place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear. That was enough”可知,吝啬鬼 Scrooge 因太看重金钱而拒绝与女孩结婚,但女孩在与别人结婚后过着简单而幸福的生活,由此可以推测出,Scrooge 在过去犯了错;由最后一段中的“Oh, no, kind Spirit! Say he will not die. He must not die”可知,看到如果自己不借钱就会死的 Tiny Tim 时,吝啬鬼 Scrooge 很着急,很希望第二个圣诞精灵可以救他,由此可知,Scrooge 意识到了自己的错误,并且会改变自己。所以两个精灵想向我们展示 Scrooge 在过去犯的错及现在的改变。故选 B。
