Question

As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are faced with difficult jobs of hiding presents from curious young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real1. On the Christmas Eve, young children find the excitement almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will bring them presents quickly and the wish to2up late so that they will not3the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie4for a long time, hoping to get a short look at Father Christmas.
Last Christmas, my wife and I5hid a few large presents in the storeroom. I6the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where that new bike had come from, but fortunately he did not see it.
On Christmas Eve,7took the children hours to go to sleep. It must have been nearly8when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began9stockings. Then I pushed in the10I bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We knew we would not get much sleep that night, for the children were11to get up early. At about five o’clock the next morning, we were12by loud sounds coming from the children’s room—they were shouting excitedly!13I had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came riding into the room on his new bike, and his sister, Mary, followed close behind pushing her new baby carriage.14the baby arrived. He moved on the hands and knees into the room dragging a large balloon. We were woken up15by them at this time.

本文是記敘文。全文敘述了圣誕夜父母忙著給孩子準(zhǔn)備禮物孩子們收到禮物時喜歡、雀躍的喜氣景象。
1.C父母藏禮物不讓孩子們發(fā)現(xiàn)是一個難題因此如果禮物很大父母能把它藏好確實(shí)是個麻煩事problem。
2.B “他們要在早去睡覺以便能盡快得到圣誕老人禮物及熬會兒夜以便不錯過這個樂趣之間作出艱難選擇�！眛orn between 意思是“在……中作出痛苦選擇”。stay up late 意思是“熬夜”。
3.C A有較大干擾性。lose 意思是“丟失”而miss 意思是“錯過”在這里作者是說“孩子們不想早睡以便不錯過得到禮物的樂趣。”
4.A 從后文hoping to get a short 6 look at Father Christmas 我們得知孩子想親眼看看圣誕老人是什么樣子因此剛躺下時他們不想睡。
5. D 作者在前文講到圣誕夜為孩子藏禮物是很難的事情從后文我們得知孩子們的禮物一直沒有被他們事先發(fā)現(xiàn)因此說藏得很成功。
6.B “我”把新自行車藏在儲藏室“我”真害怕他問“我”新自行車是從哪里來的。顯然如果他這樣問那就證明他已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了他的禮物。
7.D、it在這里作形式主語。
8.B 從下文We knew we would not get much sleep that night得此答案。
9.A 聯(lián)系上下文我們可以得知妻子和“我”把禮物裝進(jìn)他們的stockings。
10.C A有較干擾性空前的pushed in 決定了A不正確從上文我們得知“我們”給Jimmy買的是一輛自行車。
11.B 為了及早看到自己得到的禮物孩子們是不會睡懶覺的因此“我們”確信孩子們會很早起床。
12. C第二天早五點(diǎn)鐘“我們”就被孩子們的喊叫吵醒。其它答案均有一定干擾性。從前文我們得知孩子們在第二天早早晨醒來興奮地大喊大叫是“我們”意料中的事因此其它答案不合題意。
13.A “我還沒有來得及起床……”before 在這里是“沒有來得及”的意思。
14.A 大孩子們都跑到了“我”的臥室“即便是嬰兒也來了”。
15.D 孩子們的吵鬧就讓“我們”無法入睡氣球的炸響讓“我們”睡意全無。
