【解析】

這是一篇人物故事類短文。主要介紹了老人約翰在假期期盼著祖孫們的到來，但是在做準(zhǔn)備工作時(shí)，把已過世的妻子送給他的手表弄丟了，這使他非常難過。在孩子們到來后，他們知道這件事后，一個(gè)孫子利用機(jī)智找到了這塊珍貴的手表。

【1】句意：當(dāng)他的孫子孫女們?cè)谑罴賮砜赐�他時(shí)，他非常高興。

“visit sb”看望某人。此句為when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句，根據(jù)“was”以及語境可知，從句為一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，故應(yīng)用visit的過去式visited。故答案為visited。

【2】句意：這塊兒手表是她妻子送給他的一個(gè)禮物。

根據(jù)語意可知，此處缺少一個(gè)不定冠詞a/an。由于“gift”是輔音音素開頭的單詞，故用不定冠詞a。故答案為a。

【3】句意：當(dāng)他的孫子孫女來的時(shí)候，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)爺爺非常難過。

根據(jù)語境可知，因?yàn)闋敔斉獊G了奶奶送給他的手表，所以他感到非常難過。“upset”難過的，沮喪的，在這里作表語修飾“grandfather”。故答案為upset。

【4】句意：約翰告訴他們他找不到他的手表了。

根據(jù)語境可知，爺爺悲傷的原因是他找不到奶奶送的手表了�！�watch”手表，在這里為單數(shù)形式。故答案為watch。

【5】句意：約翰記得他最后一次見到手表時(shí)正在打掃谷倉。

根據(jù)上文“They asked John when he last saw his watch”可知，此處應(yīng)是約翰最后一次看見手表的時(shí)候�！�see”看見，動(dòng)詞，由于時(shí)態(tài)為一般過去時(shí)，故用其過去式saw。故答案為saw。

【6】句意：孩子們搜尋了兩個(gè)小時(shí)，但是什么也沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)。

“search for”搜尋，尋找，固定短語。故答案為for。

【7】句意：然后，其中一個(gè)孩子叫其他孩子離開，說他能自己找到手表。

“by oneself”靠自己，根據(jù)下文“John and other children wanted to know how he did it”可知，這個(gè)孩子是個(gè)男孩兒，故應(yīng)用其反身代詞himself。故答案為himself。

【8】句意：這個(gè)小男孩說，我安靜地坐在谷倉里。

根據(jù)“After a few minutes, I heard a ‘'tick-tick’ sound and found the watch”可知，這個(gè)孩子安靜地坐在谷倉里，才聽到了鐘表的滴答聲�！�quietly”安靜地，修飾動(dòng)詞sit。故答案為quietly。

【9】句意：幾分鐘后，我聽到一聲“滴答”的聲然后找到了手表。

根據(jù)語境，“我聽到滴答聲”和“找到手表”是順承關(guān)系，應(yīng)用and連接。故答案為and。

【10】句意：約翰擁抱并感謝了男孩兒。

根據(jù)語意可知，此處應(yīng)為約翰擁抱并感謝了男孩兒。“thank”感謝，動(dòng)詞，由于“hugged”是過去式且and連接并列成分，其也應(yīng)為過去式。故答案為thanked。
