【解析】

1.由上下文可知，還是小孩子的我，在圣誕節(jié)來臨，我應(yīng)該是收到禮物。

2.聯(lián)系上下文，此處表達(dá)的意思是別人問我收到了什么禮物。

3.闖入；安居；出現(xiàn)；關(guān)閉。

4.有了禮物在學(xué)校就不會感到難堪了。

5.聯(lián)系上下文，提到是new house，肯定選擇first，西方人對于圣誕節(jié)很重視，是一家人團(tuán)圓的日子，所以此時表達(dá)重要性。

6.聯(lián)系上下文，可了解當(dāng)時作者那種激動的心情，所以應(yīng)該是突然就想到了那件讓她難忘的事情。

7.根據(jù)第一段中描述那次圣誕節(jié)禮物給我的感慨，和作者此刻的心情，她認(rèn)為送圣誕節(jié)禮物者給自己以及孩子們的重要性。

8.此處表示“夠得著，能聯(lián)系上的”。不能選擇A，因為我不可能認(rèn)識這么多此類兒童。

9.從上一段可以推斷，是我提出了（came up with）一個四十個人來我公司幫忙的計劃。

10.每個人都有屬于自己的禮物，而且不是固定的，所以作者的意思是給孩子們啟示：每個人都是獨一無二的。

11.從下文的“One, two, three．Open your presents!”可知，在分發(fā)禮物時，我提醒每個人開始不要打開禮物。

12.根據(jù)下文的意思，此處表示大家等待的拆禮物的時刻到來了。

13.根據(jù)文章上下文，他們燦爛的笑容照亮了整個房間。

14.聯(lián)系上下文，分析四個選項的意思，此處是表示歡樂。

15.此處必須聯(lián)系上下文。有人記得我說明我重要。
