32．答案：①it②that③had been delighted④shpping⑤pushed⑥where⑦chice⑧men⑨at⑩was infrmed
解析：①考查固定句型。句意：她想起为父亲挑选一件合适的圣诞礼物是多么困难。固定句型“It is +形容词+t d”意为“做某事是……”，it为形式主语，故填it。
②考查表语从句。句意：她今年的愿望是，她可以轻松地买到一个特别的礼物，让他高兴，就像她的母亲一样，因为得到礼物已经高兴了好几次。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导表语从句，从句的语义和成分均完整，则使用that引导表语从句，故填that。
③考查时态和语态。句意：她今年的愿望是，她可以轻松地买到一个特别的礼物，让他高兴，就像她的母亲一样，因为得到礼物已经高兴了好几次。根据“befre by the gifts fr her”可知，delight表示的动作发生在“过去的过去”，并且her mther承受delight的动作，则谓语动词使用过去完成时的被动语态，故填had been delighted。
④考查动名词。句意：此外，在一年中的这个时候购物并不是一种愉快的经历：人们踩着你的脚，或者用胳膊肘推着你，匆匆忙忙地挤到前面去买便宜货。此处为动名词作主语，故填shpping。
⑤考查时态。句意：此外，在一年中的这个时候购物并不是一种愉快的经历：人们踩着你的脚，或者用胳膊肘推着你，匆匆忙忙地挤到前面去买便宜货。根据stepped可知，push使用一般过去时，故填pushed。
⑥考查定语从句。句意：简在柜台前停了下来，柜台上陈列着一些漂亮的领带。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，cunter是先行词，从句中缺少地点状语，因此使用where引导定语从句，故填where。
⑦考查词形变化。句意：但是简从过去的经验中知道，她对领带的选择很少能使父亲满意。此处使用名词作主语，需要的词义为“选择”，即chice，在此处为单数意义，故填chice。
⑧考查名词的复数形式。句意：简在一小群人聚集的地方停了下来。此处man为可数名词，为泛指意义，应该使用复数形式，故填men。
⑨考查固定短语。句意：简回到家，包里装着她精心挑选的小礼物，她的父母已经在餐桌旁吃晚饭了。此处为固定短语at table，意为“用餐”，故填at。
⑩考查时态和语态。句意：简被告知，“你父亲终于决定戒烟了”。句子描述的事情发生在过去，Jane(单数意义)承受infrm的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was infrmed。
