As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are 1 with difficult jobs of hiding presents from 2 young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real 3 . On Christmas Eve, young children find the 4 almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to 5 up late so that they Mil not miss the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie 6 in bed for a long time, hoping to get a short 7 at Father Christmas.

　　Last Christmas, my wife and I 8 managed to hide a few large presents in the store room I 9 the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where the new bike had come from, but 10 he did not see it.

　　On Christmas Eve, it took the children hours to go to deep. It must have been nearly 11 when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began 12 stockings. Then I 13 in the bike for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We know we would not get much 14 that night, for the children were sure to get up early. At about five o'clock the next morning, we were 15 by loud sounds coming from the children's room--they shouted excitedly! 16 I had time to get out of bed, Jimmy came 17 into our bedroom on his new bike and his sister, Mary, 18 close behind, pushing her new baby carriage. Even the baby arrived, he moved on the 19 and knees into the room dragging a large balloon behind him. Suddenly it burst. That woke us up 20 . The day had really begun with a bang.

Answer 1

答案：A;B;C;D;A;D;C;D;A;B;B;A;C;B;A;D;C;B;A;B
解析：

(1) be faced with“面临，面对”。 (2)curious“好奇的”，年轻人或孩子对一切都感到好奇，所以此处用curious最恰当。 (3) problem指较大的问题，麻类。 (4) 该句的意思是：孩子们发现这种即将得到礼物的兴奋劲是难以忍耐的，即他们想立刻得到礼物。 (5) stay up“熬夜，挺得住，不倒塌”。在此处的意思是“熬夜”，父母一般要在夜里等离子们都睡着之后再去放礼物，所以孩子们想熬夜来亲自体会这种兴奋。 (6)awake在此作形容词“醒着的” 解。如：One woman was lying in bed, awake, listening to the rushing winds.一位妇女躺在床上，没有睡着，静听着那急急的风声。 (7) A、B和C项都和at构成固定的短语，但有区别。A项stare at指“长时间盯着……看”，在此不合语境；B项glare at是“怒目而视”的意思，在此也不合语境；此处用了short一词，故选C。 (8) successfully是副词。 (9) fear此处指“担心，害怕”。 (10) but表转折，因此用fortunately“幸运地”一词。 (11) 根据上下文语境，此处用midnight最恰当。 (12) filling“向……装……”作began的宾语。此处指开始向袜子里装礼物。 (13) push推。 (14) 此处用名词sleep作get的宾语。该句的意思是：这已是深夜，孩子们又快醒了，我们睡觉的时间不会太长。 (15) woken是过去分词，指被孩子们的声音给吵醒了。 (16) before在此作连词，意思是“还没来得及……就……”。如：①He fell asleep before I could take off his clothes.我还没来得及把他的衣服脱掉他就睡着了。②He asked a second question before I could answer the first one.我还没来得及回答第一个问题，他又问了一个问题。 (17) riding on his new bike“骑着新自行车”是个现在分词短语作伴随状语或方式状语。如： ①He came here running all the way.他是一路小跑到这儿来的。②They went out of the classroom, talking and laughing.他们又说又笑地走出了教室。 (18) follow指“跟随，跟着”。 (19)“move on the hands and knees”,因年龄较小所以进来时手脚并用。 (20) completely“完全地，彻底地”，该句的意思是：这一响声使我们完全醒了。
