解析：
(1) |
本题考查在语境中猜测词义的技能。spokesman原意指“代言人”(someone who has been chosen to speak officially for a group，organization or government)。这里spokesman是指圣诞节日的形象大使，就是Santa Clauses。从语境分析，so是对上文所说的圣诞老人的扮演者艰辛的描写，文中的描写都与A、B、C三项的商人，政治领袖和活动的组织者无关，所以选D项。 |
(2) |
本题考查综合语篇获取信息的能力。第一段描写了圣诞老人工作的艰辛，第二段说了现在的圣诞老人难以回答孩子们提出的问题，第三段讲，做圣诞老人还会受到女孩的莫名其妙的指控。文中没有提到well-paid的事，也没有评论worth doing还是not worth doing；工作虽有难处，但也没有到dangerous的程度。所以，B项为最佳选项。 |
(3) |
第三段的第一句中就说了：Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued．sue的英文释意是to make a legal claim against sb．汉语就是“诉讼”。整句的意思是：圣诞老人还有相当大受指控的可能性。接着，短文列举了一个例子。说一个女孩指控圣诞老人性骚扰。所以A为最佳选项。 |
(4) |
选项B不合文意，因为短文通篇讲的是扮演圣诞老人遇到的事，根本不是圣诞老人活着不活着的问题。选项C的题目太空太广，对此篇短文来说没有针对性，圣诞节的故事有很多很多。这个题目冠在任何有关圣诞节的故事之前都似乎可以。选项D的题目偏离短文内容。短文并没有说圣诞老人为孩子们做了哪些事。选项A把圣诞老人扮演者的感受说出来了，正与文章说的圣诞老人遇到不快这事相吻合，所以应选A。 |
