【导语】本文节选自《小妇人》，主要讲述了圣诞节来临前，四姐妹没有得到礼物，但每人有一美元，
她们在计划如何使用这一美元。
1．句意：马奇家的四姐妹，梅格、乔、贝思和艾美，正坐在客厅的火炉旁。根据上文“It was December
and the snow was falling quietly outside.”可知，此处应用过去进行时描述当时的情景，主语为The four
March sisters，be动词应用were，sit的现在分词为sitting。故填were sitting。
2．句意：节日即将到来，但她们不会从她们的母亲，马奇夫人那里得到任何礼物。present是可数名词，
此处应用其复数形式表泛指。故填presents。
3．句意：然后乔说：“但可惜的是，我们的父亲与士兵们相距甚远。”pity为单数名词，且为辅音音素
开头的单词，其前用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。
4．句意：梅格小声缓慢地说道：“母亲说我们的男人们正在战场上，我们不能花钱享乐。这也是我们今
年不会有礼物的原因。”said是动词，此处应用副词quietly修饰。故填quietly。
5．句意：乔想给自己买一本书，因为她是一个爱看书的人。空格前后两句存在因果关系，前果后因，用
because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
6．句意：艾美想要一盒漂亮的绘画铅笔，因为她想要成为一位画家。根据“for she wanted to be an…”可
知，她想成为一名画家，artist“画家”，前有an，用单数形式。故填artist。7．句意：她们努力地工作，所以她们可以每个人都买自己想要的东西并开心地玩一下。根据“They
worked hard”可知，她们之前努力地工作，所以她们可以买自己想要的东西，此处应用could表示“可
以”，后加动词原形。故填could buy。
8．句意：贝思起床了，把她母亲的拖鞋放在火炉边烤暖和些。根据“put”可知句子应用一般过去时，谓
语动词用过去式。故填got。
9．句意：梅格说：“不。我是我们当中年龄最大的。”根据“of us all”可知此处应用old的最高级
oldest。故填oldest。
10．句意：我们不给我们自己买礼物。主语为We，此处应用其反身代词ourselves表示自己。故填
ourselves。
