【解析】

本文讲述了史蒂文收了一个很喜欢的圣诞节礼物——雪橇，在玩耍过程中因为自己的粗心而造成的误会。

【1】句意：这是最好的圣诞礼物！

present 礼物；show演出；tree 树；music 音乐。根据空格处前this是指代前文的a new sled，可知，是指一个礼物。故选A。

【2】句意：最后，史蒂文询问：“爸爸，我试下我的雪橇可以吗？”爸爸同意了。

doubted 怀疑；understood 明白；complained 抱怨；agreed 同意。根据上文“Dad, is it okay if I try out my sled?”和下文“Soon, Steven was sledding down Twin Hills in the neighbourhood park”，他询问爸爸是否可以去试下雪橇后，不久，他就在附近的公园滑雪橇了，可知是他爸爸同意了他才出去的。所以用动词agreed。故选D。

【3】句意：他的雪橇不见了。他以他最快的速度跑到公园。在双子峰他找到了它。

left 留下；found 发现；rode 骑；accepted 接受。根据下文“Steven's neighbour, Kevin, was on Steven's new sled”，史蒂文的邻居，凯文，正在史蒂文的新雪橇上。可知，史蒂文是找到了雪橇，所以用动词find，整个段落都是用一般过去时，find的一般过去时是found。故选B。

【4】句意：史蒂文的爸爸说：“冷静下，儿子。也许你的雪橇丢了是有其它的原因。”

sign 信号；suggestion 建议；reason 原因；search 查找。Another指另一个的，后接名词单数。根据句意，the missing of sled，所以可推测是丢失雪橇的原因。固定搭配reason for指...的理由。所以空格处用reason。故选C。

【5】句意：史蒂文不能相信他的爸爸是站在凯文这边的。

siding 支持；dealing 处理；working 工作；arguing 争吵。根据前文“Steven ran home, crying all the way. He found...”，他把整个过程说给爸爸听之后，爸爸确劝说史蒂文要冷静下来，也许是因为别的原因，可知，他觉得他的爸爸是在支持凯文，是在帮凯文说话。固定搭配side with sb站在...的一边。空格前was，后接现在分词，表示动作正在进行，所以是siding。故选A。

【6】句意：爸爸耐心地说：“首先，你需要确定你的雪橇确实是被偷了。”

honestly 诚实地；patiently 耐心地；confidently 自信地；cheerfully 高高兴兴地。空格前said是动词，所以空格用副词修饰动词。根据下完述说的内容，可判断出爸爸是非常有耐心地在帮史蒂文分析，所以空格处用副词patiently复合语境。故选B。

【7】句意：史蒂文很惊讶他所见到的，他的雪橇靠在仓库的墙上，就在他自行车的旁边。

disappointed 失望的；frightened 害怕的；excited 兴奋的；surprised 惊讶的。根据句意，“His sled leaned against the wall of the garage next to his bicycle”，可知，他看到了他的雪橇原来在自行车的旁边，他感到很惊讶，固定搭配be surprised at sth 对...感到惊讶。故选D。

【8】句意：史蒂文低下了头，他感觉用那种方式跟他的邻居说话非常的不好。

hung 垂落；turned 转；shook 摇；raised 抬。根据“ He felt bad about the way he had spoken to his neighbour. I should say sorry to Kevin”，可知，他找到了他的雪橇，发现他误会了他的邻居，所以他对于之前那样跟邻居说话，觉得很不好意思，可知是低下了头，整段都是用过去时，所以此空格也是用hang的过去时hung。故选A。
