【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述地震过后，“我”号召家里的孩子们一起捐出自己的东西，女儿梅根把自己心爱的娃娃捐了出去，从而给了“我”一些启发：我们很容易给出我们不需要的东西，但是却很难割舍我们所珍爱的东西。

1.

句意：地震过后，所有报纸报道了很多故事，那些处于困境中家庭的故事。

houses房子；neighbors邻居；families家庭。空格后面的定语从句用的关系代词是who，说明空格里填的应该是人，以及根据下文“It gave the clothing sizes of each family member”以及全文可知，地震过后，处于困境中的是那些家庭。故选C。

2.

句意：一张特别的照片感动了我。

heard听到；touched感动到；showed展示。根据横线后me以及后文捐出自己东西的行为上看，那张照片是感动到“我”了。故选B。

3.

句意：我认为这是一个好机会，教我的孩子们去帮助比他们更不幸的人。

himself他自己；herself她自己； themselves他们自己。根据句意以及“我的孩子们”，可知此处需填复数的反身代词。故选C。

4.

句意：我们拥有如此多的东西，现在这些穷人什么也没有。

nothing什么也没有；anything任何东西；everything每一件东西。根据poor people可知，他们在地震过后没有拥有任何东西。故选A。

5.

句意：我在箱子里塞满了食物和衣服。

got得到；filled充满；found发现。根据情境，“我”是打算捐出这些东西的，所以把需要给穷人的食物和衣服放进箱子里，fill with用……塞满……，填满……。故选B。

6.

句意：我鼓励我的孩子们选择他们的玩具，捐出他们不钟爱的玩具。

beautiful美丽的；favorite喜欢的；heavy重的。根据后文“A few minutes… much-loved doll”以及““Oh, dear…You love her so much．”可知，露西想要捐出她特别钟爱的娃娃，“我”跟她说不用这样，可知“我”是让他们选择不那么钟爱的玩具。故选B。

7.

句意：梅根安静地看着。

terribly糟糕地；quietly安静地；sadly悲伤地。根据前后语句，梅根在看着哥哥们收拾自己的旧玩具，打算捐出去，根据情境可知她那时应该是安静地站在旁边看，并且由此受到启发捐出自己心爱的娃娃。故选B。

8.

句意：男孩们把他们的旧玩具拿出来放在一起。

took out取出；took up占据；took care of照顾。根据前文“I encouraged the boys to choose their toys”可知，“我”让他们挑选玩具，所以是把需要捐出来的玩具从一堆玩具中取出。故选A。

9.

句意：也许她会让另一个小女孩也开心。

happy高兴的，开心的；sad伤心的；rich富有的。根据前文“Lucy makes me happy, Mommy”以及横线后的too，可知此处要表达的是要让另一个女孩也开心。故选A。

10.

句意：但是更难去割舍我们珍爱的东西，不是吗？

easier更容易；faster更快的；harder更艰难的。根据前文“It's easy to give something that we don't want any more”以及横线前的but，此处有一个转折，前文说“容易”，此处应该说“更艰难”。故选C。
