本题为短文填空题,需结合语境、语法规则及固定搭配完成填空。解题思路:先通读短文把握整体语境,再逐个分析每个空格的考点,如名词所有格、名词复数、动词不定式、比较级、副词用法、动词时态、冠词、介词、固定短语等,根据每个空的语法要求和上下文逻辑确定单词的正确形式。
【解析】
1. 此处表示“爷爷的生日”,需用名词所有格修饰名词birthday,故填grandpa’s;
2. tomato是可数名词,与cucumbers、apples并列,此处需用复数形式,故填tomatoes;
3. plan to do sth为固定搭配,意为“计划做某事”,故填to cook;
4. 由句中than可知,此处需用much的比较级more,故填more;
5. 数词three后接可数名词复数,故填hours;
6. 此处修饰动词chat,需用副词形式,happy的副词是happily,故填happily;
7. 主语为第三人称单数he,且描述日常动作用一般现在时,动词需用第三人称单数形式,故填cuts;
8. 此处特指前文提到的“生日蛋糕”,需用定冠词The,故填The;
