As the spirit spoke, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road with fields on either side. The city had disappeared, as had the darkness and fog. It was now day time, and there was snow on the ground.

“I know where we are!” Scrooge shouted. “I was born here and lived here as a boy.” He began to have memories of his life as a boy. A tear came into his eye.

“If you remember this place,” the spirit said, “you may now lead the way.”

“I remember everything about it,” Scrooge said.

“Then it is strange that for so many years you have never thought about it,” the spirit said. They walked along the road, Scrooge recognizing（认出）every gate and tree, until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river. Some small horses came toward them with boys upon their backs, who called to other boys in carts, driven by farmers. All these boys were happy and shouted to each other until the fields were full of their laughter.

The boys came nearer, and as they came, Scrooge knew and called out their names. He felt so happy to see them all again.

“We are now at the school,” said the spirit. “Only one child is there, left alone there by the others.”

Scrooge knew who the child was, and he began to cry. They walked on and soon came to the school house. It seemed to be empty, and it needed to be repaired. They walked through the house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading. The spirit touched Scrooge on the arm and pointed to the boy. It was Scrooge when he was young. Scrooge sat down and cried as he looked at himself as he used to be.

Suddenly, a man wearing strange clothes stood outside the window. He was leading a horse.

“It’s Ali Baba!” Scrooge shouted excitedly. “It’s dear, old, honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, I remember. One Christmas, I was left here all alone, and the other boys had all gone to their homes. He did come, for the first time, just like that.”

People who knew Scrooge as he now was would have been surprised if they had known him as a boy. Scrooge remembered how lonely he had been as a child. “Poor boy!” he said, and tears came into his eyes. “I wish,” he said, putting his hand in his pocket, and looking about him after drying his eyes, “but it’s too late now.”

“What do you wish?” asked the spirit.

“There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night. I should have given him something. That’s all.”

— taken from A Christmas Carol

31．________ was the only boy left by other boys according Paragraph 7and 8.

A．Scrooge’s nephew   B．Scrooge himself     C．Scrooge’s boss    D．Scrooge’s worker

33．What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Back to the past     B．Back to the present    C．Back to the future    D．Back to the dream

D

The world is full of amazing things. Let’s see China’s amazing technology! Nowadays, we are used to using our phone to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world, we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites（卫星） in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems. That’s how the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System（BDS）works in China.

The BDS nowadays is more better than the first version（版本）of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy（精确度）.

Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40, 000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are easily to be searched at sea.They are able to communicate with people on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble.

The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police do their job. So does farming. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming machines. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless trucks as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones（无人机）.

Although the BDS is a product of China, the developers are actively developing international cooperation（合作）. Developers predict that the system will be not only popular within China, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world.

34．The underlined word “calculate” here probably means ________.

A．① B．② C．③ D．④

35．How does the writer show the changes in the BDS in Paragraph 2?

A．By giving examples.     B．By telling stories.

C．By listing numbers.    D．By comparing（比较） conditions.

36．Which of the following can we learn from the passage?

A．The BDS has already become popular both at home and abroad.

B．People around the world use the same system to locate positions.

C．The whole world will take advantages of the BDS in several years.

D．The BDS has become a common way of communication in daily life.

37．In which part of a magazine can we read the passage?

A．Science. B．Art. C．People. D．Sports.

Most of fairy tales(童话故事) are from our everyday lives. However, when we grow up, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn’t always win, and that a frog is just a frog. Even so, our love for fairy tales never dies. Just look at cartoons like The Lion King and Frozen which have millions of fans young and old.

Fairy tales are all about the real world. But if children only see just one side of life, adults usually see the other. For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the views of the evil(邪恶的) queen. Unlike the children’s version(版本) of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she experiences great losses, leading to her “evil” side. And in US writer James Garner’s bedtime story books, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood(小红帽), but with a modern touch: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn’t safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性别歧视者), which connects with today’s women’s rights movement.

Fairy tales aren’t just stories our parents read to us at bedtime. They may usually start with “Once upon a time...”, but as we grow older, we learn not every fairy story needs a good ending.
