解析:
【分析】首先通读短文,明确短文围绕Alice的生日聚会展开,需从方框所给单词中选词并调整适当形式填空,每空一词且每词仅用一次。解题时,先分析每个空格的句子结构、语法要求(如序数词、名词复数、动名词、所有格等),再结合上下文语境匹配合适的单词,最后调整为正确形式。
【解析】1. 表示“第十二个生日”,需用twelve对应的序数词twelfth;2. 此处表示“来庆祝生日”,用动词原形celebrate;3. 主语是复数概念(Alice的两个朋友),gift需用复数gifts;4. 表示“带有十二根蜡烛的蛋糕”,用介词with;5. 固定搭配be good at后接动名词,故用make的动名词making;6. 表示“Jane的礼物”,需用名词所有格Jane's;7. 主语Alice是第三人称单数,一般现在时中动词like用第三人称单数形式likes;8. 前后句为因果关系,用连词because;9. 感叹句结构为What a + 可数名词单数,故填a;10. 修饰名词games,用形容词interesting。
【答案】1. twelfth 2. celebrate 3. gifts 4. with 5. making 6. Jane's 7. likes 8. because 9. a 10. interesting
【知识点】序数词用法、动词适当形式、名词所有格
