【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：本文為記敘文，主要闡述了一位父親通過給兒子生日禮物的事情對兒子進行了很好的教育。

1.根據(jù)前一句“Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present”中的“l(fā)augh”一詞可以推斷出主人公面對生日禮物內心很激動。A項表示“驚訝的”；B項表示“羞愧的”而D項是“擔心的”，故選C。

2.he was a great player.”可以判斷出Chuck Hart是一籃球選手，故選B。A項是“團隊”之意；C項表示“教練”而D項是“游戲，比賽”，故選B。

3.he was a great player”判斷出其與前面的句子之間是轉折關系，“盡管Hart由于他的糟糕的運動精神和聲名狼藉的行為舉止而備受批評，但他還算是一很好的籃球選手”，故用“Although”表示轉折引導讓步狀語從句較為適合。A項引導的條件狀語從句，B項引導的是條件狀語從句而C項通常引導原因狀語從句，故選D。

4.

5.All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes…”可以判斷Travis 也是希望穿上有Hart名字的鞋子，故選A。

6.Not Hart’s.”可以判斷出在他打開禮物時發(fā)現(xiàn)有不對勁的地方，構成something wrong的表達與意思，故選B適合。A項表示“奇怪的”;C項是“真實的”而D項表示“有趣的”顯然意思不對。

7.his amazing work in the community”此處構成短語“be known for…”表示“因為…而有名”，B項表示“鼓勵”，C項是“采納”之意而D項是“影響”的意思。

8.his heart stopped”可以判斷看見鞋子并不是他自己所想要的的時候，他呆住了。B項表示“凍住”能很好地體現(xiàn)Travis當時的狀態(tài)。A項表示“落下”，C項是“搖動”而D項是“折疊”的意思。

9.

10.’t”，故選D。

11.”表示“駛入，駛進”之意。B項表示“舉起；張貼”；C項的短語是“拿起，從事，占據(jù)（時間、空間）”；D項表示“出現(xiàn)，（聲音）調高”之意。

12.“Hey, Travis, wait a minute…”以及后面爸爸的話可以推斷出此時爸爸說話的態(tài)度上略有遲疑，故選B項表示“猶豫地，遲疑地”比較適合。A項表示“平靜地，和平地”；C項表示“高興地”而D項則是“自然地，本質上地”。

13.依據(jù)前文“I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)…”以及后面的內容可以知道爸爸在鞋子的選擇上是進行過對比的，故此處有短語“make a choice”表示在“作出選擇”。B項表示“努力”；C項是“評論”之意而D項則表示“錯誤”。故選A。

14.

15.

16.此處進行上下文內容的對比尤其是“You could have acted like a kid when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted,”表示Travis本可以像個小孩子去表達對禮物的不滿意，意在表達一種如同小孩一般的無理取鬧但其實他沒有，所以C項適合。

17.you were polite and made the best of it.”可以看出兩句話之間是明顯的轉折關系，故要使用but,所以選C。

18.

19.

20. 全文首尾呼應“His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful gift”表明爸爸是用心為他的兒子準備了生日禮物，故選A項的”gift“點名主題。
