【解析】

本文讲述了作者小时候看母亲做饭，自己也想尝试，但在一次尝试后，邻居给出的评价很糟糕，作者感到很气馁。但是在爸爸善意的谎言和鼓励之下，作者又重拾了信心。

【1】句意：我看着我的妈妈用最简单的配料给我们的生活带来食物。

watch一般现在时；have watched现在完成时；will watch一般将来时；watched一般过去时。根据前句“At the age of seven, I loved staying with my mom when she was cooking.”可知，本文时态是一般过去时，表示过去发生的事。故选D。

【2】句意：我九岁以后，妈妈允许我尝试做饭。

to try动词不定式；trying动名词；tried动词过去式/动词过去分词；try动词原形。分析“After I turned nine, my mom allowed me___2___cooking.”可知，此处构成“allow sb. to do sth.”结构，所以此处用其动词不定式形式。故选A。

【3】句意：我从泡茶开始，希望能得到周围人的赞扬。

I can get praise陈述语序，一般现在时；can I get praise疑问语序，一般现在时；I could get praise陈述语序，一般过去时；could I get praise疑问语序，一般过去时。分析“I started with making tea and hoped that ___3___from people around me.”可知，此处是宾语从句，应用陈述语序，又因为本文时态是一般过去时。故选C。

【4】句意：然而，她尝了一小口，马上放下杯子，说味道太差了。

a不定冠词表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的词前；an不定冠词表泛指，用于元音音素开头的词前；the定冠词表特指；/零冠词。分析“So I made a cup of tea for her. However, she took a sip and put down___4___cup right away…”可知，此处特指前文的杯子。故选C。

【5】句意：当爸爸回家时，妈妈解释了发生的事情。

Before在……之前；Until直到；Since自从，因为；When当……时。分析“___5___dad came home, my mom explained what had happened.”可知，此处表示“当爸爸回家时，妈妈解释了发生的事情”的含义，用于句中引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时”。故选D。

【6】句意：然而，令我惊讶的是，爸爸把它吃光了！

to到；in在……里；at在；for因为，为了。分析“However, ___6___my surprise, dad ate it up!”可知，此处构成“to one’s surprise”短语，翻译为“令某人吃惊的是”。故选A。

【7】句意：我被深深地感动了，我给了他一个大大的拥抱。

touch一般现在时；was touched一般过去时的被动语态；is touching现在进行时；will be touched一般将来时的被动语态。分析“He said it was delicious. I___7___ deeply and I gave him a big hug.”可知，本句主语I是动作touch的承受者，又因为本文时态是一般过去时，所以使用一般过去时的被动语态。故选B。

【8】句意：喝完茶后，他说因为我准备了茶，所以今天比以前过得更好。

nice形容词原级；nicer形容词比较级；nicely副词原级；the nicest形容词最高级。分析“After finishing his tea, he said he started with a ___8___day than before because of the tea I prepared.”可知，此处用于句中作定语修饰其后的名词day，又因为本句含有比较级标志词than，所以使用形容词比较级形式。故选B。

【9】句意：我无法用语言来描述我当时的感受。

possible可能的，形容词；possibly可能地，副词；exact确切的，形容词；exactly确切地，副词。分析“I couldn’t ___9___describe what my feeling was at that time.”可知，此处表示“我无法用语言来描述我当时的感受”的含义，强调“确切、准确”，此处用于句中修饰动词describe，所以使用副词形式。故选D。

【10】句意：如果那天爸爸没有撒谎，我可能会相信邻居的话。

word单词；words话语；idea想法；ideas想法，名词复数。分析“If dad hadn’t lied that day, I might have believed the neighbors’ ___10___.”可知，此处表示“我可能会相信邻居的话”，强调“话语”。故选B。

本文主要讲的是作者小时候看母亲做饭，自己也想尝试，但在一次尝试后，邻居给出的评价很糟糕，作者感到很气馁。但是在爸爸善意的谎言和鼓励之下，作者又重拾了信心的故事。短文主题明确，内容贴近时事，比较容易理解。题型是完形填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文意；然后根据上下文语境做题，注意空前后的固定搭配，并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法；最后将答案代入原文，再读一遍，检查答案是否正确。例如第2小题，考查的是动词不定式作宾语补足语，此处构成“allow sb. to do sth.”结构，所以使用动词不定式；再如第7小题，考查的是一般过去时的被动语态，分析句子可知，主语I是动作touch的承受者，又因为本文时态是一般过去时，所以使用一般过去时的被动语态。
