答案解析：

短文讲述了一个故事。美国总统罗斯福在一次打猎时，拒绝射杀捆在树上的熊。

Teddy bear玩具就来自于这个故事。

小题1:“和…….一起”，用with。

小题2:前一句用了过去完成时，后面是个否定省略句，与前一句内容结构一样，因此也应使用过去完成时。

小题3:句意是：没人想让他难过。

小题4:第二段第一句话中，得知熊是系在树上的。

小题5:指代上文中提到的“an American black bear”。

小题6:句意是：这只熊不能跑开，射它，是不公平的。其他三项（难的、危险的、刺激的），都不符合语境。

小题7:正因为前面的想法（射它是不公平的），总统才拒绝射它。再看本段最后一句“the president refusing to shoot a cute bear”，信息更明确。

小题8:总统的故事传遍了全国，人人皆知。此句意思是：每个人都感动了。

小题9:人们倍受感动，才出现了有关这事的卡通片，前后意思递进。even“甚至”。

小题10:Teddy's bear 是玩具，所以选择toy。

小题11:show…his window 在橱窗里展示。

小题12:考查固定搭配，provide ..with..提供某物给某人。

小题13:后文谈到“Teddy bear”既然是为孩子买玩具的首选，而且最后一句也说明它受到全世界人们的喜爱，可知，它肯定受欢迎。

小题14:后面内容表示时间，用when“当……时”。

小题15:考查名词的意思，根据文章的意思，得出应该是Theodore Roosevelt的决定。
