25、1B根据下文的 “outside town”可知，这里指作者居住(lived)在城外时的一个圣诞节。2C句意：作者的哥哥在另一个城市工作，但他总是回家庆祝(celebrate)圣诞节。3D根据本空后的“a violent snowstorm with powerful winds”可知，圣诞节的前几天他们经历了(experienced)一场狂风暴雪。4D根据下文情节可知：圣诞节前一天比我想象的更加难忘(memorable)。popular“受欢迎的”； enjoyable“令人愉快的”； important“重要的”。5B根据本空后的“to stay overnight because of
26、the storm”可知，由于暴风雪，“我”哥哥被迫在一个陌生人家里过夜。6A根据本空后的“enough to let him stay until morning”可知，那人心地善良(kind)。7C根据本空后的“was that he couldnt get his car to start and there was no assistance available.”可知，问题(problem)是“我”哥哥的车发动不起来，而且也没有援助。8B句意：哥哥的车发动不起来，无法回家，于是，我和爸爸出发(set out)去找他。9B句意：车发动不起来，哥哥只能在那等着，我和爸爸到了他等待的(wa
