本文講述的是一個小時候在孤兒院長大，長大后在社會上感恩的人的故事。

1. D從后面的working—詞與動詞的搭配來看，應為spend time doing sth.

2. B上文說"(孩子們的) 每一天都用來干活"，告訴讀者圣誕節(jié)是他們一年中不干活而且獲得禮物的一天。因此，此處應為"孩子們"。

3. C從下文kept it for weeks可知，非常"珍惜"禮物，而非"想要"、"需要"或"想念"禮物。

4. A從even—詞表遞進的功能可知，此空應填months.

5. D先用鼻子聞,后觸摸，再到深愛，描寫了孩子們對禮物的感情變化。

6. C   "橘子"只有存放太久才會變壞。

7. A孤兒長到足夠大的時候就應離開孤兒院了。

8. B從圣誕節(jié)到七月有七個月的時間，一個橘子只有十分仔細地保管才有可能不會壞掉。

9. B從上文可知，孩子們一直盼望著圣誕節(jié)的到來，所以，當圣誕節(jié)到來的時候，他們應是很激動。

10. D碰翻了東西，只能是弄出響聲。

11. C本來期待已久想得到一個橘子，可孤兒院的主人卻不給他那個禮物，他的心可想而知是碎了。break此處表"破碎"。

12. A時至冬天，又是孤兒院，主人又那么刻薄，孩子們住的房子不可能很暖和。

13. D根據(jù)前面的a big用詞和下文中孩子們用自己的橘瓣拼湊起來的橘子情景，此處應為smile.

14. B   "抬起頭"應是lift one's head。

15. C從與juicy的搭配可知。

16. A從上文中所用peeled—詞和下文created a big,beautiful orange短語可知，孩子們是在與John分享他們的橘子。

17. D前面提到"共享"、"友愛"，后面應是"奉獻"才能與之構成遞進的并列關系。

18. C上文談到他從未忘記那個日子，下文又談到他到全世界給孩子們送橘子。這種描述就是表明John是為了紀念那個特殊的圣誕節(jié)。in memory of意為"紀念"。

19. B表過去的意愿用would。

20. A他的行為是受愿望支配的。desire表“心愿”。
