【解析】

本文講述了我所經(jīng)歷過的一個特殊的生日，在這一天我學(xué)到了一個課，做任何事情都要全力以赴，我們才會取得成功。

【1】句意：我期待著蛋糕和禮物的一天，但是它變成了神秘的一天。

expected期待；accepted接受；disliked不喜歡；spent花費(fèi)。 根據(jù)Tuesday was my birthday.可知這一天是我的生日，我“期待”蛋糕和禮物，結(jié)合句意可知選A。

【2】句意：某人送來一個瓶子帶有一封信和藏寶圖。

discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)；carried運(yùn)送；sent送來；bought買。根據(jù)“birthday”以及“presents”可推測有人送來一份禮物，sent符合句意。故選C。

【3】句意：我不知道它是不是一個惡作劇或者我是不是應(yīng)該相信它。

trust相信；improve改善；refuse拒絕；share分享。根據(jù)If it was real, it would be the best present I had ever got.“如果它是真的，它將是我收到過最好的禮物。”可推測我不知道它是否是真的，我是否該相信它。故選A。

【4】句意：我決定去試一試。

choose選擇；try嘗試；ask請求；think想到。根據(jù)下文中Two of my friends came and we rented a truck.可知我和我的朋友打算去試試。故選B。

【5】句意：實(shí)際上，在半路上我有兩次都想放棄。

Luckily幸運(yùn)地；Finally最終；Probably大概；Actually實(shí)際上。此空是副詞修飾整個句子，根據(jù)中途兩次想要放棄可知此處表示“實(shí)際上”。故選D。

【6】句意：但是我不認(rèn)為它是個明智的決定。

wise明智的；big大的；different不同的；wrong錯誤的。根據(jù)下文I needed to give this trip twice the effort I had been putting in.“我需要在這次行動中付出雙倍的努力。”可推測我想放棄的想法不是明智的。故選A。

【7】句意：這些用了我所有的信任去找到真相。

pleasure快樂；truth真相；help幫助；bottle瓶子。根據(jù)I didn’t know whether it was a trick or whether I should trust it.和I decide to try.可知我不知道這是真的假的，因此我決定去試試，找出真相。故選B。

【8】句意：我很認(rèn)真地問：“轉(zhuǎn)彎后我們做什么？”

gratefully感激地；sadly傷心地；angrily生氣地；seriously認(rèn)真地。根據(jù)This would take all my trust…可知我對這個藏寶非常信任，因此我是“認(rèn)真地”問。故選D。

【9】句意：我們被要求向北拐20米，然后開始挖。

allowed允許；required要求；forced強(qiáng)迫；encouraged鼓勵。根據(jù)The map says…可知我們是按照地圖來做的，因此是地圖要我們這樣做。故選B。

【10】句意：一開始我們挖的不順利……

training訓(xùn)練；experience體驗(yàn)；trouble麻煩；fun樂趣。根據(jù)but we got better 其中but表轉(zhuǎn)折，可推測剛開始并不順利。have trouble（in）doing sth.表示“做某事有困難”故選C。

【11】句意：我們起初挖的不順利但是很快就好了，我們快速地挖。

quickly快速地；badly不好地；tiredly疲憊地；carefully細(xì)心地。根據(jù)got better可知后來我們進(jìn)展順利了，所以我們快速地挖。故選A。

【12】句意：我的手套臟了，但是我一直挖直到我碰到了一個金屬盒子。

made使；left離開；留下；finished完成；hit碰到。根據(jù)I kept digging可知我們在一直挖，直到我們碰到一個盒子。故選D。

【13】句意：你們學(xué)到的這一課是非常有價值的。

necessary必須的；valuable有價值的；satisfying令人滿意的；painful疼痛的。根據(jù)you will have found the key to making over 20 million dollars.可知這一課是有價值的。故選B。

【14】句意：如果你們在做別的事情上能付出和找這封信一樣的能量。

stone石頭；map地圖；letter信；tree樹。根據(jù)There was a letter.可知盒子里是一封信，我們一直找的是一封信。故選C。

【15】句意：我想我永遠(yuǎn)也不會忘了這個特別的生日禮物。

pretty漂亮的；small小的；special特別的；expensive貴重的。根據(jù)全文可知是父母給我上的一課，為了讓我明白任何事都要全力以赴，因此是一個特別的生日禮物。故選C。
