Scott’s Winter HolidayWinter break was coming soon, and all Scott wanted to do was to go snowboarding. Unluckily, Scott’s parents had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带邮轮). But Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend’s house to snowboard every day at the local mountain. So he kept talki ng with his parents about it, but they would not change their minds. Family time is important, and it is a tradition that they spend winter break together.When Scott got on the ship with his parents, he walked around to check everything out. He couldn’t believe how great everything was. The dining room loo ked like a palace; the game room had all of his favorite games. Then Scott saw the surfing pool (冲浪池). It wasn’t a big pool, but it had big waves, and the people who were riding the waves made it look like a lot of fun.Scott asked his parents if he could put his swim shorts on so that he could try surfing. They said, “ Of course.” And much to Scott’s surprise, they wanted totry surfing too.When Scott and his parents had their swim suits on, they headed back to the surfing pool. Scott’s dad went first and only lasted about five seconds. Then it was his mom’s turn. She actually made it five seconds longer than his dad did. When it was Scott’s turn, he was excited and nervous.

Recently, there have been many reports in newspapers and on TV about big animals coming into towns and cities. There have been bears in Vancouver p arks, leopards on the streets of Mumbai and wild pigs in gardens in Berlin. What happens when big animals come into our cities?Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons sometimes eat fruit from gardens and go into people’s kitchens and take food from fridges! Baboons are strong animals that scare children. Many people do not like them, but the city can be dangerous for baboons too. So metimes, baboons are hurt in car accidents and human food can kill them. The city council (议会) in Cape Town has a team of Baboon Monitors. Their job i s to find baboons in the city and take them back to the countryside. This makes the city safer for people and it is healthier for the baboons. The problem is th at many baboons will come back to the city to look for food again.In Berlin, Germany, groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. Pigs have come into the city for hundreds of years, but since the wint ers are warmer, there are more pigs now than in the past. Pigs eat flowers and plants in gardens and parks in the city. They also walk in the street and cause t raffic accidents. Some people like the pigs and give them food. But the city council is worried about traffic accidents. They have told people not to give thepigs food and have put up fences (围栏) to stop the pigs from entering the city.In Moscow, Russia, there are about 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, markets and train stations. Some of the dogs were pets that people did not want s o they left them on the streets. Others were born on the streets and have always lived there. Some dogs live alone and others live in packs (成群). A lot of pe ople like them, and they give the dogs food and water. The winter in Moscow is very cold and people usually offer places for dogs to live in.For many animals, cities are dangerous places and they need our help to return to the countryside.【小题1】What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Many children like playing with baboons.B．Cape Town is a safe place for baboons to stay.C．The city council tried to protect baboons in Cape Town.D．Baboons were born on the streets and have always lived there.【小题2】What do we know about wild pigs in Berlin?A．They make streets dirty.B．They eat fruit from fridges.C．They cause traffic accidents.D．They break fences around gardens.【小题3】What is the best title for the passage?A．Animal Protection B．Animals in the CityC．People and Nature D．Food for Animals15. 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

A Christmas Carol (selection) 《圣诞颂歌》(选段)阅读理解Scrooge ate his dinner alone in a nearby inn and then went to his home. This was a dark room above some offices. Even the entrance was dark, but Scrooge knew his way about in the fog without a light. On the door of the building, there was a large metal door knocker. To Scrooge’s surprise, it now looked like Marley’s face. It had never looked like this before, and Scrooge had not even thought about Marley since the man had died. Scrooge looked at the door knocker for several moments, and then it changed back to being an ordinary door knocker again. Scrooge told himself that what he had seen had been his imagination. He closed the door and then he went up to his room where he lit a candle. The sound of his voice seemed to echo (回音) throughout the building. Then another strange thing happened as he climbed the wide stairs. In front of him, he thought he saw a hearse (灵车). He could not be sure, though, because the light from his candle was not very strong. Scrooge was not worried about darkness. He liked it because it was cheap.Before going to bed, he looked up at an old bell that hung from the ceiling. It was a bell that at one time had been used to send for a servant, but it had not been used for many years. Now, suddenly, it began to move and a few moments later it began to ring. Scrooge was now afraid. He became even more afraid when a few minutes later he heard a loud noise coming from the rooms beneath the building.

A bell started ringing by itself.二、完形填空Marley was dead. There is no doubt about that.
