解析【小题1】 A。前面说“我得到了渴望已久的电动车”，而这里but转折，表示的是“你很难相信为了得到这个神圣的礼物我所经受的痛苦和付出的努力”。
【小题1】C。从上下文来看，“我”很早就关注着车，并通过看介绍有关车的杂志来了解信息。
【小题1】A。根据上下文可知，此处说的是“我”终于下定决心买辆电动车。make up one’s mind 为固定短语，意为“下决心”。
【小题1】B。前面说“下决心买电动车”，此处说的是作出决定后就立即开始行动了。set to work 意为“开始行动起来”，下文具体写了所做的工作。
【小题1】D。此处说的是“我”展开的第一项工作，那就是告诉爸爸说“我的那辆旧车的操纵杆失灵了”。Work 是动词，意为“工作，有效”，在这里说的是“操纵杆不灵了”。
【小题1】B。从上下文来看，“我”的第一次工作没有成效，反而被爸爸指责为“我”不会操作。bad driving 意为“不会操作，错误操作”。
【小题1】D。前面“我”是找了旧车操纵杆失灵这样一个借口，从后面的内容特别是引号内的话语可以看出，“我”的下一个计划就更明确、直白了。
【小题1】A。这是“我”力劝爸爸买电动车的话。从 …with controller and battery pack—all for only US$250 及后面的 …miss out on this bargain 等可推测，此处应选用 afford。can / be able to afford… 是常见搭配，意为“省出或找到足够的时间或金钱去(做某事)；……得起”。
【小题1】D。从 …and for US$250 you could buy… 等来看，爸爸的反应确实是不想买电动车。
【小题1】D。根据上文的 You couldn’t ___ to miss out on this bargain 等可推测此处应填 bargain。
【小题1】B。这里说的是爸爸的观点。与其买电动车，倒不如买一架像望远镜一样具有教育意义的东西。something like 意为“像……样的东西”。
【小题1】C 从 when I’m 97 years old 及后面的 This is my youth 等来推测，此处说的是“要看月亮，那就等到 97 岁时住在养老院里看好了”。这是作者对爸爸提议买望远镜的一句气话。
【小题1】D。从前面多次提到买车被爸爸拒绝，后面又有 …how mean my father was 及后面的 …he didn’t ___14___ that I would die… 等来推测，此处说的是“我”对爸爸的吝啬很“恼怒”。
【小题1】C。前面说“我”很恼怒，再结合后面的 …that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-controlled truck 等推测，“我”觉得爸爸才不“在乎”呢！
【小题1】B。根据on Christmas morning，可知讲的是“我”在圣诞节的早晨醒来后查看礼物时发生的故事。
【小题1】D。按照常例，西方儿童在圣诞节早晨收到礼物是激动和兴奋的，可此刻“我”却兴奋不起来，因为“我”要车的幻想破灭了。此处用 defeat正好符合“我”当时的心理。
【小题1】C。从前面的 I opened all my presents until there was just one big package… 等可推测，此处说的是“直到还剩下最后一个包裹”。
【小题1】D。从上下文来看，此时只剩下这最后一个包裹，于是“我”就打开包装，这与后面的看到里面的东西相符合。
【小题1】A。与上面的 I had been defeated 相对，此处描写的是当我得到盼望已久的车时高兴的心情，“我”终于“赢”了。
【小题1】D。前面一直在责怪爸爸不给“我”买车，当得到车后，“我”高兴得觉得能做任何事情，后面进一步说“我甚至能在英语课上得 A+”

Wild Water Wilderness is an 1800s-style park with water rapids and a magical journey into Native North America. For Peanuts fans, Camp Snoopy is a six-acre children’s wonderland with 30 rides and attractions.

Opened in 1971, the Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day. If you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July.
If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.
Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table for your tour. If you can’t get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.
Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有轨电车), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom.

|
B．make a call to reserve a table for dinner in advance |
|
C．use 1-407-WDW-DINE to reserve about 3 months in advance |
