【解析】

本文讲述了我所经历过的一个特殊的生日，在这一天我学到了一个课，做任何事情都要全力以赴，我们才会取得成功。

【1】句意：我期待着蛋糕和礼物的一天，但是它变成了神秘的一天。

expected期待；accepted接受；disliked不喜欢；spent花费。 根据Tuesday was my birthday.可知这一天是我的生日，我“期待”蛋糕和礼物，结合句意可知选A。

【2】句意：某人送来一个瓶子带有一封信和藏宝图。

discovered发现；carried运送；sent送来；bought买。根据“birthday”以及“presents”可推测有人送来一份礼物，sent符合句意。故选C。

【3】句意：我不知道它是不是一个恶作剧或者我是不是应该相信它。

trust相信；improve改善；refuse拒绝；share分享。根据If it was real, it would be the best present I had ever got.“如果它是真的，它将是我收到过最好的礼物。”可推测我不知道它是否是真的，我是否该相信它。故选A。

【4】句意：我决定去试一试。

choose选择；try尝试；ask请求；think想到。根据下文中Two of my friends came and we rented a truck.可知我和我的朋友打算去试试。故选B。

【5】句意：实际上，在半路上我有两次都想放弃。

Luckily幸运地；Finally最终；Probably大概；Actually实际上。此空是副词修饰整个句子，根据中途两次想要放弃可知此处表示“实际上”。故选D。

【6】句意：但是我不认为它是个明智的决定。

wise明智的；big大的；different不同的；wrong错误的。根据下文I needed to give this trip twice the effort I had been putting in.“我需要在这次行动中付出双倍的努力。”可推测我想放弃的想法不是明智的。故选A。

【7】句意：这些用了我所有的信任去找到真相。

pleasure快乐；truth真相；help帮助；bottle瓶子。根据I didn’t know whether it was a trick or whether I should trust it.和I decide to try.可知我不知道这是真的假的，因此我决定去试试，找出真相。故选B。

【8】句意：我很认真地问：“转弯后我们做什么？”

gratefully感激地；sadly伤心地；angrily生气地；seriously认真地。根据This would take all my trust…可知我对这个藏宝非常信任，因此我是“认真地”问。故选D。

【9】句意：我们被要求向北拐20米，然后开始挖。

allowed允许；required要求；forced强迫；encouraged鼓励。根据The map says…可知我们是按照地图来做的，因此是地图要我们这样做。故选B。

【10】句意：一开始我们挖的不顺利……

training训练；experience体验；trouble麻烦；fun乐趣。根据but we got better 其中but表转折，可推测刚开始并不顺利。have trouble（in）doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”故选C。

【11】句意：我们起初挖的不顺利但是很快就好了，我们快速地挖。

quickly快速地；badly不好地；tiredly疲惫地；carefully细心地。根据got better可知后来我们进展顺利了，所以我们快速地挖。故选A。

【12】句意：我的手套脏了，但是我一直挖直到我碰到了一个金属盒子。

necessary必须的；valuable有价值的；satisfying令人满意的；painful疼痛的。根据you will have found the key to making over 20 million dollars.可知这一课是有价值的。故选B。

【14】句意：如果你们在做别的事情上能付出和找这封信一样的能量。

stone石头；map地图；letter信；tree树。根据There was a letter.可知盒子里是一封信，我们一直找的是一封信。故选C。
