短文講述了一個故事。美國總統(tǒng)羅斯福在一次打獵時，拒絕射殺捆在樹上的熊。
Teddy bear玩具就來自于這個故事。
小題1:“和…….一起”，用with。
小題2:前一句用了過去完成時，后面是個否定省略句，與前一句內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)一樣，因此也應(yīng)使用過去完成時。
小題3:句意是：沒人想讓他難過。
小題4:第二段第一句話中，得知熊是系在樹上的。
小題5:指代上文中提到的“an American black bear”。
小題6:句意是：這只熊不能跑開，射它，是不公平的。其他三項（難的、危險的、刺激的），都不符合語境。
小題7:正因為前面的想法（射它是不公平的），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。
小題8:總統(tǒng)的故事傳遍了全國，人人皆知。此句意思是：每個人都感動了。
小題9:人們倍受感動，才出現(xiàn)了有關(guān)這事的卡通片，前后意思遞進。even“甚至”。
小題10:Teddy's bear 是玩具，所以選擇toy。
小題11:show…h(huán)is window 在櫥窗里展示。
小題12:考查固定搭配，provide ..with..提供某物給某人。
小題13:后文談到“Teddy bear”既然是為孩子買玩具的首選，而且最后一句也說明它受到全世界人們的喜愛，可知，它肯定受歡迎。
小題14:后面內(nèi)容表示時間，用when“當(dāng)……時”。
小題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。
