We were very _________ that someone had the heart to do this. We’ve never been able to thank the person _________ we think it may be one of our wonderful neighbors.

文章講述了作者的小兒子（布拉德利）的自行車被偷了，小男孩期待它能回來，于是寫了一個(gè)牌子，第二天他們在信箱發(fā)現(xiàn)100元錢，讓他自己買輛新自行車，作者一家一直不知道這個(gè)好心的陌生人是誰，他們一直很感恩。

【1】句意：當(dāng)我們的孩子小的時(shí)候，擁有一輛自行車對他們來說是一件大事。

children孩子們；friends朋友；parents父母親；relatives親戚。結(jié)合全文可知，本文說就是孩子與自行車的事情�？芍�這里說的是：對孩子們來說，擁有一輛自行車是一件了不起的事情。故選A。

【2】句意：他們?nèi)諒?fù)一日的每天花費(fèi)好幾個(gè)小時(shí)騎自行車。

with用；in在…里面；on在…上面；to到。這里說的是：孩子們?nèi)諒?fù)一日的每天花費(fèi)好幾個(gè)小時(shí)騎自行車。根據(jù)spend+時(shí)間/錢+on sth“在……上花費(fèi)時(shí)間/錢”可知，用on。故選C。

【3】句意：騎自行車是讓孩子們走出家門，呼吸新鮮空氣而不花錢的好方法。

camping野營；hiking遠(yuǎn)足；bicycling騎自行車；skating。前文談到了孩子們整天花費(fèi)時(shí)間在外騎自行車�？赏茰y這里說的是：騎自行車（bicycling）是讓孩子們走出家門，呼吸新鮮空氣而不花錢的好方法。故選C。

【4】句意：騎自行車是讓孩子們走出家門，呼吸新鮮空氣而不花錢的好方法。

challenge挑戰(zhàn)；time時(shí)間；energy能量；money金錢。根據(jù)文章的最后一段可知，作者這個(gè)家庭也不富裕�？赏茰y這里說的是：作者能讓孩子能走出家門去玩而又不花錢。故選D。

【5】句意：布拉德利和他妹妹早上出去騎車時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)他的自行車從我家后院被偷了。

broken破碎；stolen偷；forgotten忘記；mistaken弄錯(cuò)。根據(jù)下一段布拉德利的一些做法可知，自行車已經(jīng)被偷了。故選B。

【6】句意：他簡直不相信有人會這樣做。

somebody某人，有人；anybody任何人；everyone每人；nobody沒人。根據(jù)語境可知，這里說的是：他簡直不相信有人（somebody）會這樣做。故選A。

【7】句意：他拿了一大塊紙板，畫了一個(gè)要求歸還自行車的牌子。

standing站；waiting等待；looking看；asking要求。上文說到自行車被偷�？赏茰y這里是畫了一個(gè)要求（ask for）歸還自行車的牌子。故選D。

【8】句意：第二天早上，當(dāng)我出去收郵件的時(shí)候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)寫有神奇文字的白色信封。

mail郵件；clothes衣服；fruit水果；food食物。根據(jù)上文談到了布拉德利把牌子綁到了信箱上。故這里是作者收郵件。故選A。

【9】句意：給自己買一輛新自行車。

make制作；cost花費(fèi)；pay付款；buy買。根據(jù)下文的布拉德利能夠買一輛新的自行車。所以空格上應(yīng)該填buy。故選D。

【10】句意：有人有心這么做，我們真的很感動。

moved感動的；satisfied滿意的；interested感興趣的；relaxed放松的。根據(jù)上文可知，這里他們是感動的。故選A。

【11】句意：我們從來沒能感謝這個(gè)人，但我們懷疑他可能是我們的一個(gè)很好的鄰居。

and和，并且；but但是；so因此；or或者。根據(jù)句意可知，空格前后兩句存在著轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選B。

【12】句意：布拉德利在標(biāo)牌上畫了一個(gè)大大的“謝謝”。

drew畫畫；wrote寫；painted用顏料畫；marked標(biāo)記。根據(jù)第四段的“He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign……”，可知這里也該用painted。故選C。

【13】句意：隨著時(shí)間的推移，自行車變得更大，更貴，但對那些騎自行車的家庭仍然是重要的。

went away走開；went on（時(shí)間）流逝，過去；went over檢查；went off爆炸，開火。根據(jù)語境可知，這里表達(dá)的是：隨著時(shí)間的推移。故選B。

【14】句意：現(xiàn)在汽車已經(jīng)取代了他們的自行車。

ships輪船；trains火車；cars汽車；e-bikes。結(jié)合句意和選項(xiàng)可知，應(yīng)該是汽車取代了他們的自行車。故選C。

【15】句意：這些年過去了，我們?nèi)匀桓兄x那個(gè)讓布拉德利的愿望成真的令人驚訝的善良的陌生人。

cheerful高興的；useful有用的；helpful有幫助的；thankful感謝的。根據(jù)最后一段的句子“We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us. We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who he was.”可知，作者一家應(yīng)該是感謝那位好心的陌生人。故選D。
