I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 21 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd 22 ?" Just when I started to 23 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 24 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 25 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't 26 . Somebody had thought 27 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 28 Christmas there special and memorable, I 29 remembered the women's visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 30 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 32 with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were. 33 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they couldn't open their presents 35 every child had come forward. Finally the 36 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room. The 38 in the room was obvious, and 39 wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 40 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

解析:
21. 西方人过圣诞节的传统,小孩都会在那天收到圣诞礼物,故用receiving。
22.根据语境是其他小孩问作者得到了什么圣诞礼物。
23.作者在其母亲告诉他那一年不能收到圣诞礼物的时候,还在担心怎么回答其他小孩的问题,在这之后应该是慢慢地接受了那年不能过圣诞节的时候,却出现了意想不到的情况。故D符合语境。
24.A意为“闯入,破门而入”;B意为“定居下来”;C意为“出现,到达”;D意为“炫耀”。根据句意应该是三个女性来到我家并给我们送礼物。
25.由I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school可断定作者在收到这三个女性送来的礼物之后有种轻松的感觉,因为不用担心怎么回答其他同学的问题了。
26.由上文三个好心的女性来作者家并给他们带来了圣诞礼物可知,作者并没有被别人遗忘。
27.根据上文three women turned up at our house with gifts for all of us可知别人充分的想到我
的状况。
28.由my new house 及下文可知这是作者安排的第一个特别的又值得纪念的圣诞节。
29. A意为“几乎不”;B意为“立刻,马上”;C意为“定期地,有规律地”;D意为“偶尔地”。作者在考虑怎么制作一个既特别又具有纪念意义的圣诞节的同时,是立刻想到了小时候的那次很特别的圣诞节。
30.由上文三个女性给作者带来礼物使作者有一种没被别人遗忘的感觉,说明作者在别人心目中还具有很重要的地位可知,作者也想让更多的小孩有他这样的很重要的感觉。
31. come up with为固定短语,意为“想出,提出”。这里指想到一个计划。
32.根据常识可知,给别人送礼物包装外面都会写上每个收礼物的人的名字。
33.因为这些小孩是孤儿,所以作者想让他们知道世界上还有其他人在关心爱护他们,让他们知道他们是很特别的。
34. remind sb. that... “提醒某人……”。
35. not... until... 意为“直到……才 ”。
36. 由上文可知作者提醒这些孤儿不能打开礼物直到他们走上前,所以他们一直在等待打开礼物的这一刻。Moment意为“时刻,瞬间”。
37. lit 为light的过去式,light up固定用法,意为“点燃,照亮”,句意为“孩子们的微笑照亮了整个房间。Take up 意为”占据,开始从事“;burn up 意为“烧完,烧光”;cheer up意为“使精神振作”。
38. 由前一句their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room可知孩子们都很快乐。
39. 由连词and可知,and之后句子为the joy wasn’t just about toys,前文已经出现了the joy,故为了避免重复用it代替。
40. 作者也有过这样快乐的感觉,而这感觉是来自于很久以前的一个圣诞节。故用from“来自于”符合句意。
