【答案】ACABD   BDADD   BCDCB   DCDAD

【解析】本文講述的是“我”想得到一輛渴望已久的電動(dòng)玩具車(chē)的故事。在圣誕節(jié)前，“我”費(fèi)勁心思纏著爸爸要電動(dòng)車(chē)，做了各種工作但還是被爸爸拒絕了。不過(guò)，在那年的圣誕節(jié)早晨查看圣誕禮物時(shí)，“我”卻發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)大包裹，打開(kāi)后發(fā)現(xiàn)那里面竟是我一直想要的電動(dòng)車(chē)。

選A前面說(shuō)“我得到了渴望已久的電動(dòng)車(chē)”，而這里用 but 轉(zhuǎn)折，表示的是“你很難相信為了得到這個(gè)神圣的禮物我所經(jīng)受的痛苦和付出的努力”。

選 C從上下文來(lái)看，“我”很早就關(guān)注著車(chē)，并通過(guò)看介紹有關(guān)車(chē)的雜志來(lái)了解信息。

選 A根據(jù)上下文可知，此處說(shuō)的是“我”終于下定決心買(mǎi)輛電動(dòng)車(chē)。make up one’s mind 為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“下決心”。

選B前面說(shuō)“下決心買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)”，此處說(shuō)的是作出決定后就立即開(kāi)始行動(dòng)了。set to work 意為“開(kāi)始行動(dòng)起來(lái)”，下文具體寫(xiě)了所做的工作。

選D此處說(shuō)的是“我”展開(kāi)的第一項(xiàng)工作，那就是告訴爸爸說(shuō)“我的那輛舊車(chē)的操縱桿失靈了”。Work 是動(dòng)詞，意為“工作，有效”，在這里說(shuō)的是“操縱桿不靈了”。

選 B從上下文來(lái)看，“我”的第一次工作沒(méi)有成效，反而被爸爸指責(zé)為“我”不會(huì)操作。bad driving 意為“不會(huì)操作，錯(cuò)誤操作”。

選D前面“我”是找了舊車(chē)操縱桿失靈這樣一個(gè)借口，從后面的內(nèi)容特別是引號(hào)內(nèi)的話(huà)語(yǔ)可以看出，“我”的下一個(gè)計(jì)劃就更明確、直白了。

選 A這是“我”力勸爸爸買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)的話(huà)。從 …with controller and battery pack—all for only US$250 及后面的 …miss out on this bargain 等可推測(cè)，此處應(yīng)選用 afford。can / be able to afford… 是常見(jiàn)搭配，意為“省出或找到足夠的時(shí)間或金錢(qián)去(做某事)；……得起”。

選 D從 …and for US$250 you could buy… 等來(lái)看，爸爸的反應(yīng)確實(shí)是不想買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)。

選D根據(jù)上文的 You couldn’t ___ to miss out on this bargain 等可推測(cè)此處應(yīng)填 bargain。

選 B這里說(shuō)的是爸爸的觀點(diǎn)。與其買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)，倒不如買(mǎi)一架像望遠(yuǎn)鏡一樣具有教育意義的東西。something like 意為“像……樣的東西”。

選C 從 when I’m 97 years old 及后面的 This is my youth 等來(lái)推測(cè)，此處說(shuō)的是“要看月亮，那就等到 97 歲時(shí)住在養(yǎng)老院里看好了”。這是作者對(duì)爸爸提議買(mǎi)望遠(yuǎn)鏡的一句氣話(huà)。

選 D從前面多次提到買(mǎi)車(chē)被爸爸拒絕，后面又有 …h(huán)ow mean my father was 及后面的 …h(huán)e didn’t ___14___ that I would die… 等來(lái)推測(cè)，此處說(shuō)的是“我”對(duì)爸爸的吝嗇很“惱怒”。

選C前面說(shuō)“我”很惱怒，再結(jié)合后面的 …that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-controlled truck 等推測(cè)，“我”覺(jué)得爸爸才不“在乎”呢！

選 B根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ) on Christmas morning，可知講的是“我”在圣誕節(jié)的早晨醒來(lái)后查看禮物時(shí)發(fā)生的故事。

選D按照常例，西方兒童在圣誕節(jié)早晨收到禮物是激動(dòng)和興奮的，可此刻“我”卻興奮不起來(lái)，因?yàn)椤拔摇币?chē)的幻想破滅了。此處用 defeat正好符合“我”當(dāng)時(shí)的心理。

選 C從前面的 I opened all my presents until there was just one big package… 等可推測(cè)，此處說(shuō)的是“直到還剩下最后一個(gè)包裹”。

選D從上下文來(lái)看，此時(shí)只剩下這最后一個(gè)包裹，于是“我”就打開(kāi)包裝，這與后面的看到里面的東西相符合。

選A與上面的 I had been defeated 相對(duì)，此處描寫(xiě)的是當(dāng)我得到盼望已久的車(chē)時(shí)高興的心情，“我”終于“贏”了。

選 D前面一直在責(zé)怪爸爸不給“我”買(mǎi)車(chē)，當(dāng)?shù)玫杰?chē)后，“我”高興得覺(jué)得能做任何事情，后面進(jìn)一步說(shuō)“我甚至能在英語(yǔ)課上得 A+”。
