Then one Christmas Eve, Scrooge has a dream, where he meets the ghost of Jacob Marley, one of his partners. Marley was as mean as Scrooge when he was ???5?? . But after he died, he was punished for his unkindness. He tells Scrooge that three ???6?? ?will visit him soon.

And then they come. One of them is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The spirit takes Scrooge to see what will happen to him ???7?? ?he is dead. Scrooge is sad and scared to find that nobody cares about his ???8?? . He is so afraid that he wakes up and finds out it is just a nightmare(噩夢).

The dream warns Scrooge to change himself and be kind to ???9?? . He changes quickly and celebrates Christmas happily with his relatives by giving gifts. From then on, he treats everyone with ???10?? ?and warmth.

1.exchanging

【解析】本題用常識法和對稱結構法解題。

根據(jù)常識可知，在圣誕節(jié)人們都會聚會、裝飾圣誕樹和相互交換禮物等，故用exchange；

而根據(jù)上文中的having parties，decorating Christmas trees可知，應該使用動詞的-ing 形式。

2. behind

【解析】本題用聯(lián)系上下文法解題。

根據(jù)上文的描述，圣誕節(jié)的含義不僅僅是聚會、圣誕樹和禮物等這些表面的東西，真正的意義隱藏在其背后。

故用behind。

3. called

【解析】本題用語法判定法。分析old man和Scrooge的關系可知，它們指的是同一個人，故用called。

4. badly

【解析】本題用聯(lián)系上下文法解題。

根據(jù)上文提到的＂... cares about nothing but his business and money.＂可知＂他只在乎錢，對其他人不好＂，要用副詞修飾動詞，故用badly。

5. alive

【解析】本題用聯(lián)系上下文法解題。根據(jù)下文中提到＂But after he died, he...＂可以推斷前面應該講的是他生前的情況，故用alive。

6. spirits

【解析】本題用聯(lián)系上下文法解題。根據(jù)下一段的＂spirit＂可知，本題應該用spirit的復數(shù)形式。

7. when

【解析】本題用語法判定法解題。

分析前后的句子可知，后面應該是一個時間狀語從句，故用when。

8. death

【解析】本題用聯(lián)系上下文法解題。

上文中提到 ＂dead＂，但是這里用在形容詞性物主代詞之后，應該用其名詞形式，故用death。

9. others

【解析】本題用聯(lián)系上下文法解題。

前文提到＂He treats others badly＂他對別人很壞，因此這里應該是說這個噩夢警告他改變自己，善待＂他人＂，故要用others。

10. kindness

【解析】本題用對稱結構法解題。

根據(jù)上下文的描述可知＂他變得對其他人好起來＂，因此選用kind；而根據(jù)＂and warmth＂可知，應該使用kind的名詞形式。
