【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，是一名叫吉姆的商人讲述自己童年的故事。
1. 句意：一些邻居为他的经历感到遗憾，但还是有一些调皮的孩子们总是嘲笑他。
to朝、到；on上面；in在里面；at（laugh at嘲笑）。根据“Some neighbors felt sorry for his experience, but a few naughty children always laughed ... him.”中的but可知，虽然有人对吉姆的经历表示遗憾，但是还是有一些孩子对他不好，因此此处表达“嘲笑”。故选D。
2. 句意：他很孤单也和其他人合不来。
others（其他所有人或物）；the others（剩余的人或物）；another另一个；other其他的。根据句子“Some neighbors felt sorry for his experience, but a few naughty children always laughed at him.”以及“ He was alone and didn’t get on well with ....”可知，吉姆常常被同学嘲笑，因此他很孤单，无法和别人相处。此处“别人”没有具体的指代对像，泛指其他所有人。故选A。
3. 句意：他的狗有足够的吃的喝的，但是他对小狗有时有些粗鲁。
gave给（过去式）；was given被给（一般过去时被动）；give给（原形）；is given被给（一般现在时被动）。根据上文可知，时态为一般过去时，由主语“his dog”可知，应用被动语态，表达“他的狗有吃有喝”，因此用was given。故选B。
4. 句意：一天，当他走在街上的时候，他看见一个年轻的女人走在他前面。
go走；has gone走了没回来（现在完成时）；was going正走（过去进行时）；goes走（三单）。根据上下文可知，时态为“一般过去时”，又由下文“he saw a young lady walking in front of him.”可知，此处表达“当他正走在街上的时候，他看见了……”。因此填was going。故选C。
5. 句意：当她停下来去捡的时候，她肩上其它包也落下来了。
pick捡；picked（过去式）；to pick（不定式）；picking（现在分词）。stop to do sth.（停下正做的去做某事）；stop doing sth.（停下手中正做的）；根据上文“Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms.”可知，那个年轻女人的包掉下来了，因此她需要停下去捡她的包，填stopped to pick。故选C。
6. 句意：吉姆上前帮助他。
she她（主格）；her（宾格）；herself她自己；hers她的（名词性物主代词）。根据上文可知，女人捡包的时候其它包也掉了，因此吉姆是去帮助她，此处作宾语，用宾格。故选B。
7. 句意：他看着她直到她走远。
when当……时候；until直到；if如果；unless除非。根据上文“A special feeling came to him. He had never heard such kind words before.”可知，当吉姆听到女人感谢他的时候，他感到一种奇怪的情绪，因此他一直盯着女人直到她走远。故选B。
8. 句意：他变得很激动，接着他朝着他的狗吹哨。
excite使激动；exciting令人激动的；excited感到激动的；excitedly（副词）。根据下文“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated the woman’s words.”可知，女人的感激对吉姆来说很重要，让吉姆感受到了温暖和一种异样的情绪，因此他很激动，当主语为人时，用excited表示“感到激动的”。故选C。
9. 句意：说好话或许是一种很好的鼓励人的方式，但是粗鲁的言语会伤害他们。
saying说（现在分词）；say说；to say（不定式）：said（过去分词）。根据句子“...words kindly maybe a good way to encourage people”可知，此处表达“说好话”用“say words kindly”，动词作主语需加变动名词，因此用saying。故填A。
10. 句意：Lucky开心地朝他摇着尾巴。
happiness幸福；happy开心的；happier更开心；happily（副词）。根据句子“Lucky waved its tail”可知成分完整，此处需填副词修饰动词waved，表达“开心地摇着尾巴”。故选D。
11. 句意：他只看见了一个脏小孩。
something某事；anything任何；everything一切；nothing什么都没有。根据下文“He washed his face carefully.”可知，他看到自己很脏，“nothing but”表示“仅仅”，因此此处表达“仅仅看见了一个脏小孩”。故选D。
12. 句意：洗完脸，他看见了一个干净的小孩。
a（泛指）；the（特指）；an（元音前）。根据句子“he saw...nice clean boy.”可知空处缺少冠词，由句意判断，此处表示泛指“一个”。故选A。
13. 句意：自此，他开启了一个更好的生活。
worse更糟；better更好；best最好；well好。根据上文可知，自从吉姆感受到语言的力量后，就醒悟了，因此此处表达“开启更好的人生”。故选B。
14. 句意：“女士们先生们，她就是在我身体里种下了善良的种子的人。”
who（定从修饰人）；which（定从修饰物）；whose（定从作定语）；where（定从作状语）。根据句子“she was that kind woman...planted the first seed of kindness in me.”可知，此处先行词为“that kind of woman”，为人，因此用who修饰。故选A。
