【解析】

【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和她的丈夫搬了新家之后,孩子们暂时没办法和他们一起过圣诞节,但是友好的邻居们一个个都过来拜访他们,送他们礼物,还帮助他们打扫积雪,邀请他们共进圣诞晚餐,让他们度过了一个愉快的圣诞节。
20.句意：去年十二月________天,我丈夫杰夫和我搬进了我们在斯科茨布拉夫的新家。根据句意可知此处指"十二月的第三天"。故填third。
21.句意：我们的孩子住得很远,不能来加入我们的假期。此处缺少介词表示"为了"。故填for。
22.句意：________,我们的新邻居们一个接一个地来拜访我们。 根据上下文可知此处表示转折关系。且空后有逗号与主句隔开,故填However。
23.句意：一天晚上有人敲门。根据语境可知此处泛指"有个敲门(声)"。且knock是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
24.句意：史密斯夫妇给我们带来了一些面包。根据上下文可知此处为一般过去时,故填brought。
25.句意：他们告诉我们门廊边有一个包裹。根据句子结构可知,此处应填代词we的宾格形式作"told"的宾语。故填us。
26.句意：在寒冷又下雪的天气,________门铃坏了。分析句子结构可知,这里应填其副词形式作状语,故填Clearly。注意句首单词首字母需大写。
27.句意：杰夫和我正在院子里扫雪时,厄尼·古兹曼从隔壁过来帮助我们。根据上文"...in the cold snowy weather."可知下雪了需要扫雪。故填snow。
28.句意：接着,我们被邀请和邻居们一起分享圣诞晚餐。根据上下文可知此处指的是邻居,且不止一个人。故填neighbors。
29.句意：有时候甚至是一个小小的善举就可以让世界大不相同。由空前的the可知此处应填其最高级形式。故填smallest。
