【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，主要是四姐妹因为圣诞节没有礼物，而且父亲远离家而不开心。乔想起母亲觉得青年士兵在受苦今年圣诞不能有礼物，但是乔想自己用钱买本书。贝丝烤母亲湿了的鞋子发现鞋子很旧了，想起父亲告诉她在他不在的时候要照顾好母亲。

1.

句意：艾米说：“一些女孩子有很多漂亮的东西而其他的女孩什么也没有，我认为这不公平。”

something一些东西；anything任何东西；everything每样东西；nothing没什么东西。根据at all可知此处表示否定“什么也没有”，用不定代词nothing。故选D。

2.

句意：当她们记起这一点时，四位姐妹看起来开心了一会儿。

happy开心的；angry生气的；worried担心的；scared害怕的。根据“we've got Father and Mother, and each other”可知此处表达想起他们有父母和彼此所以开心，用形容词happy。故选A。

3.

句意：她们的微笑突然消失。

lately最近；usually通常；suddenly突然；finally最后。根据“we haven't got Father”和“Mr. March was far away far away with the soldiers”马奇先生和士兵们在很远的地方，圣诞节没有父亲的陪伴所以女孩们突然不开心，笑容消失了。用副词suddenly。故选C。

4.

句意：妈妈说我们的青少年士兵在受苦，我们禁止花钱在玩乐上。

pleasure玩乐；health健康；education教育；environment环境。根据“Mother says our teen are suffering”可知此处表示玩乐，用名词pleasure。故选A。

5.

6.

句意：我从母亲那不期望得到任何东西，但是我想要自己买一本书。

7.

句意：我们为此工作努力，因此让我们买我们想要的，有一点乐趣。

room房间；time时间；fun乐趣；history历史。根据“we mustn't spend money for pleasure”可知此处表达乔喜欢阅读，觉得买自己想要的东西是乐趣，用have fun。故选C。

8.

句意：贝丝起床，把母亲的鞋子放在火附近温暖着。

burn燃烧；play玩耍；warm温暖；keep保持。根据“They're a little wet”可知鞋子有一点湿，所以此处表示用火使它温暖，用warm的动词用法。故选C。

9.
