(答案→)D
解析：
【小题1】D:四个选项含义分别为服装、卡片、物品和礼物，这里应该是圣诞节礼物，所以选d。
【小题2】B:本小题四个选项从语法上来说都是适合填在这一位置。但是通过后面一句话可以看出，田wished更符合句意。她希望父亲像母亲一样容易得到满足。
【小题3】C:abd选项都含有否定的意思，在这里是要说母亲总是容易满足，所以选always更合适。
【小题4】D:knock over为固定搭配，意思是撞翻，碰倒的意思。
【小题5】B四个选项含义分别是观看、发现、抓住和销售，从句子意思上来看，find更为恰当。
【小题6】B:on itme 按时on board在船上在车上等 on show,在展出，on duty 值班值日领带只能被展出。
【小题7】A:四个选项的含义分别为真正的、便宜的、可怜的和准确的，real更符合句子意思。
【小题8】D persuade意思是说服，店员只能说服顾客买东西。
【小题9】C:四个选项的含义分别是经验、物品东西、书和学校，应该选A，意思是过去的经验，
【小题10】A:四个选项的含义分别是钱、香烟、外形和商店。正确答案应是C，意思是外形很漂亮。
【小题11】C:only 仅仅，从下文可以看出她的父亲吸烟很少。
【小题12】D:四个选项意思分别为很难地、不可能地、可能地和肯定地。前面已经告诉了我们主人公没犹豫多么一会，就下定了决心，所以certainly 更符合句子意思。
【小题13】B: well-chosen精心选择的，通过前文可以看出这个礼物确实是主人公精心选择的。
【小题14】A通过后文可以看出，父亲决定不吸烟了，这对于母亲来时应该是高兴地事情。所以应该选A（兴奋）
【小题15】C:这是四个选项中只能选surprised，因为自己精心选择的礼物白买了
