A Letter From Santa Claus
Dear,
I hope you are well and that you are looking forward to Christmas.
I am always very busy at this time of the year. There 【小题1】(be) so many jobs to do. I have to 【小题2】(clean) and polish the sleigh and groom the reindeer. Then there are all those presents to sort out. I hardly have time to stop for something【小题3】（eat） . Mind you, I have been trying 【小题4】(not eat) too much. I【小题5】(begin) to get a bit too fat【小题6】（get） down some of the chimneys!!
Have you been busy 【小题7】(find) presents for your family?
What would you like to give to them? Last year I 【小题8】(receive) two hundred and fifty bottles of aftershave. I wouldn mind, but I have a beard!
Do you know what you would like for Christmas? Perhaps you【小题9】(tell) me when you write to me. I would like some warm socks and some thick gloves. Its very cold sitting on that sleigh in the middle of winter!
This year I have a new reindeer, I 【小题10】(not think) of a name for him yet. Do you have any ideas? Id love to hear them if you do.
Well, I suppose I had better 【小题11】(get) back to work. Please 【小题12】(write) to me and tell me all about yourself and your family and your friends. I would love to hear from you.
Merry Christmas!
Santaare
答案：
(答案→)are
解析：这篇短文主要介绍了Santa在圣诞节来临时给朋友的一封信。信中介绍了自己一直忙着做什么，以及自己现在的情况。

【小题4】我一直在设法不吃太多的东西。try not to do sth 设法不做某事，故填not to eat
【小题5】我会变得太胖而不能顺着烟囱下去，进行时表将来，故填am beginning
【小题6】too …to …太……而不能做……，故填to get
【小题7】你一直在忙着为家人找礼物吗？be busy doing sth ,忙着做某事，故填finding
【小题8】去年我收到了两百五十瓶须后水，过去时态，故填received
【小题9】也许当你写信的时候你会告诉我，根据句意，故填will (could/can)tell
【小题10】我还没有为他想好名字呢，现在完成时态，故填haven’t thought
【小题11】我想我最好回去工作了，had better do sth 最好做某事，故填get
