(1) 文章说明了给孩子们的圣诞礼物在圣诞节前藏好不被孩子们发现,是父母亲们面临的一个大困难,短语be faced with的意思是“面临”.(2) problem 意为“困难.难题”,所以,藏起大实物是一件困难的事情.(3) 四个选项都可以与up构成词组,但是,stay up是“熬夜,不睡觉”的意思.(4) 可以判断出,孩子们不愿睡觉的原因是不想错过圣诞礼物给他们带来的快乐.(5) lie awake 既符合题意,也符合语法规则.Lie后须跟形容词,表示状况.(6) get a short look at 是一个固定的词组,其他三个选项无法直接放在这个短语中.(7) 读完全文可以知道,文章叙述了去年送给孩子们圣诞节礼物的故事.(8) fear 能充分表达作者不愿孩子们在节前见到礼物的心情.否则,就可能失去令孩子们惊喜的效果.(9) 如果作者的儿子想要搞清自行车的来历,肯定是要问的,故ask符合题意.(10) but 表示转折,这说明他的孩子们没看到自行车,作者认为这非常的“幸运”.(11) 这是it takes sb. time to do sth.句型.(12) 等孩子们睡着后,可能已经是midnight了.Daybreak意为“黎明,破晓”.(13) 根据圣诞节的风俗习惯,选A.sew意为“缝补”.(14) 上文已经说明.(15) be sure to do sth. 最能表达孩子们急于见到礼物的心情.(16) they were shouting excitedly 表达出孩子们见到礼物时的兴奋劲儿.夫妇两人被孩子们吵醒,故woken是最适合的选项.(17) before 意为“还没……就”,引导时间状语从句.(18) 用even语气强,而且更准确在表示出作者的惊奇.(19) move on one's hands 是“爬着走”的意思.(20) 正是由于孩子们的吵闹,还有气球的爆炸声,夫妇两人才被吵醒了.Completely意为“完全地”. |

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心) about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of stories or 18 is called the general reader.
As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20. Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own. Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases; negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent copying is a help to 25 by heart.
