【解析】

文章介紹了由于孩子們的長大，感覺房子越來越小，需要拍買一些物品以免占據(jù)太多的空間。還介紹了作者一家在拍賣活動中對各自拍賣物品的情感態(tài)度。

【1】句意：隨著他們的長大，我們的房子好像變小了。

根據(jù)句意和選詞，可知是“他們長的更大”，由our house seems to get smaller我們的房子好像變的更小，可知是用bigger更大；故填bigger。

【2】句意：因此我們決定在庭院拍賣會上賣掉一些我們的東西，把錢捐給兒童福利院。

根據(jù)句意和選詞，可知是捐錢給Children’s home兒童福利院；故填Children’s。

【3】句意：我們決定每個人賣五件我們不再使用的東西。

根據(jù)后文兒子、女兒和我對自己的物品戀戀不舍，結(jié)合選項，可知是每個人都賣掉一些東西；故填each。

【4】句意：我們決定每個人賣五件我們不再使用的東西。

根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知是定語從句，先行詞things東西，引導(dǎo)詞用that；故填that。

【5】句意：他仍然想保留它們。

My son was quite sad at first 我的兒子開始很傷心，和he didn’t want to lose his toy monkey他不想失去他的玩具猴，可知是“想留著它們”，根據(jù)文章可知是過去時態(tài)；故填wanted。

【6】句意：自從他四歲生日就擁有的一個火車和鐵軌的裝置。

根據(jù)birthday，結(jié)合選詞，可知是“四歲生日”，幾歲生日用序數(shù)詞；故填fourth。

【7】句意：他每周都玩它，直到他大約七歲的時候。

he played with it almost every week他每周都玩它，和he was about seven他大約七歲，結(jié)合選詞，可知是“直到他大約七歲的時候”，故填until。

【8】句意：他也不想失去他的玩具猴。

根據(jù)上文對玩具火車的戀戀不舍，可知這里是“也不想失去他的玩具猴”，either也，用于否定句句末；故填either。

【9】句意：盡管她對失去某些玩具也很傷心。

My daughter was more understanding我的女兒更理解，和she also felt sad to part with certain toys她對失去某些玩具也很傷心，結(jié)合選詞，可知是“盡管”；故填although。

【10】句意：但是，說實話，我有一陣子沒玩了。

選詞填空題是一類需要理解語境的題型。這篇文章是講述拍賣自己的東西的情感歷程的文章需要結(jié)合全文語境以及線索進(jìn)行答題，要有一定的詞匯積累量，可以先大致瀏覽文章，再結(jié)合選詞進(jìn)行填空，注意單詞的正確形式。例如：小題5 句意：他仍然想保留它們。

My son was quite sad at first 我的兒子開始很傷心，和he didn’t want to lose his toy monkey他不想失去他的玩具猴，可知是“想留著它們”，根據(jù)文章可知是過去時態(tài)；故填wanted。
