【解析】短文講述了一個(gè)故事。美國(guó)總統(tǒng)羅斯福在一次打獵時(shí)，拒絕射殺捆在樹(shù)上的熊。

Teddy bear玩具就來(lái)自于這個(gè)故事。

1.“和…….一起”，用with。

2.前一句用了過(guò)去完成時(shí)，后面是個(gè)否定省略句，與前一句內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)一樣，因此也應(yīng)使用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。

3.句意是：沒(méi)人想讓他難過(guò)。

4.第二段第一句話中，得知熊是系在樹(shù)上的。

5.指代上文中提到的“an American black bear”。

6.句意是：這只熊不能跑開(kāi)，射它，是不公平的。其他三項(xiàng)（難的、危險(xiǎn)的、刺激的），都不符合語(yǔ)境。

7.正因?yàn)榍懊娴南敕ǎㄉ渌遣还降模�，總統(tǒng)才拒絕射它。再看本段最后一句“the president refusing to shoot a cute bear”，信息更明確。

8.總統(tǒng)的故事傳遍了全國(guó)，人人皆知。此句意思是：每個(gè)人都感動(dòng)了。

9.人們倍受感動(dòng)，才出現(xiàn)了有關(guān)這事的卡通片，前后意思遞進(jìn)。even“甚至”。

10.Teddy's bear 是玩具，所以選擇toy。

11.show…h(huán)is window 在櫥窗里展示。

12.考查固定搭配，provide ..with..提供某物給某人。

13.后文談到“Teddy bear”既然是為孩子買玩具的首選，而且最后一句也說(shuō)明它受到全世界人們的喜愛(ài)，可知，它肯定受歡迎。

14.后面內(nèi)容表示時(shí)間，用when“當(dāng)……時(shí)”。

15.考查名詞的意思，根據(jù)文章的意思，得出應(yīng)該是Theodore Roosevelt的決定。
