SCENE 1
[The first spirit takes Scrooge into the past. Scrooge sees himself as a young man. He is talking to his former girlfriend Belle.]
Scrooge: Our parents have always wanted us to marry.
Belle: I hope we can start a family soon. Why do you keep putting it off?
Scrooge: I do not have enough money yet. Marriage costs a great deal.
Belle: But two can live almost as cheaply as one. Wealth is not everything.
Scrooge: Nonsense. You will need food and clothing. You have no money of your own. Anyway, I have no time to spare. I must work late every day to earn more money.
SCENE 2
[The first spirit turns to Scrooge.]
First Spirit: She married another man and raised a lovely family. She lives a peaceful and happy life now. She was never rich, but her husband made enough to feed and shelter the whole family. That was all they needed.
SCENE 3
[The second spirit takes Scrooge to Bob Cratchit's house. Bob, his wife, Peter and their other children gather around Tiny Tim, who sits quietly with his small crutch（拐杖）beside him.]
Bob: He is weak and sickly. I fear his days are numbered.
Mrs Cratchit: We have little money to get proper care for him.
Peter: Perhaps you could ask Mr Scrooge to lend us some money. Maybe he will help.
Bob: I don't think he would. He knows we could never pay him back.
Mrs Cratchit: He has so much money. ▲ Doesn't he care about other people?
SCENE 4
[Scrooge turns to the second spirit.]
Scrooge: Spirit, tell me if poor Tiny Tim will die.
Second Spirit: I see an empty chair and a crutch left unused forever.
Scrooge: Oh, no, kind Spirit! Please tell me he will not die. He must not die.

【分析】
这是一篇改编自《圣诞颂歌》的英语阅读理解题，需结合文本细节、人物言行、语境逻辑及主旨进行分析：
1. 第1题考查场景说明内容的作用，需判断SCENE1开头标注内容的表意；
2. 第2题考查推理判断，需从SCENE1中年轻Scrooge的言行推断其观念；
3. 第3题考查句子还原，需结合SCENE3的语境选择符合逻辑的句子；
4. 第4题考查人物情感推测，需从SCENE4中Scrooge的言行判断其情绪；
5. 第5题考查主旨大意，需结合两个精灵的经历推断其目的。
【解析】
1. 第1题：SCENE1开头的标注内容描述了第一个精灵带Scrooge回到过去、看到年轻时的Scrooge与前女友的场景动作，即人物在做的事，对应选项A；B选项的时间地点、C选项的人物对话、D选项的场景数量均未在该内容中体现，故选A。
2. 第2题：从SCENE1中年轻Scrooge的言行（认为结婚需要很多钱，反驳Belle“财富不是一切”的观点，称其为“Nonsense”）可推断，他坚信钱的重要性，对应选项C；A选项“完全反对结婚”、B选项“完全理解Belle”、D选项“认为Belle会花太多钱”均与文本不符，故选C。
3. 第3题：SCENE3中Cratchit家贫穷，Mrs Cratchit提到Scrooge有很多钱，结合后文“Doesn't he care about other people?”可知，此处应表达对Scrooge不慷慨的疑问，对应选项C；A、B、D选项均不符合语境，故选C。
4. 第4题：SCENE4中Scrooge害怕Tiny Tim死亡，恳求精灵不要让他死，体现出他对自己之前冷酷行为的后悔，对应选项B；A选项“感动”、C选项“不耐烦”、D选项“冷静”均不符合其情绪，故选B。
5. 第5题：两个精灵分别带Scrooge回顾过去（年轻时金钱至上的自己）和现在（Cratchit家因Scrooge的冷酷面临的困境），目的是让他看到自己冷酷方式的后果，对应选项C；A、B、D选项均不符合文本主旨，故选C。
