【解析】

本篇記敘作者與家人到叔叔阿姨家的農場過感恩節(jié)。到農場贈送了禮物給他們，然后大家坐下來講述感恩節(jié)的來歷，吃感恩節(jié)傳統(tǒng)美食火雞，過了有趣的一天。

【1】句意：他們養(yǎng)牛羊，在農場里種很多玉米。

從文字的表層意思推斷空格處指種很多玉米，a lot of 意為很多的……；故答案為of。

【2】句意：我們在農場總是玩得很開心。

根據上文“We often go there for our holidays.”推斷下文指玩的很開心；enjoy oneself意為玩得開心、過得愉快，由此判斷空格填反身代詞；主語是we，根據邏輯關系，判斷空格填ourselves我們自己，故答案為ourselves。

【3】句意：在出發(fā)之前，我們買了一些禮物。

根據空格之前的介詞before可知，介詞后加名詞或動名詞，判斷空格填動名詞，start出發(fā)，動詞，其動名詞為規(guī)則變化在詞尾+ing，故答案為starting。

【4】句意：我們花了一個半小時到達那里。

從文字的表層意思推斷空格處指一個半小時，英語有兩種表達one and a half hours =one hour and a half；句中hours為復數形式，用第一種表達，故答案為a。

【5】句意：然后我們坐下來談話。

根據and并列成分和時態(tài)要一致的原則，推斷空格填動詞的一般過去式；sit坐，動詞，其一般過去式為不規(guī)則變化sat，故答案為sat。

【6】句意：大約在400年前，第一批旅行者從英國來美洲生活。

空格在定冠詞后面，判斷填名詞；根據歷史常識，可知空格指第一批到美洲生活的旅行者，所以用復數形式；travel旅行，動詞，其名詞形式為traveler，復數形式為規(guī)則變化在詞尾+s；故答案為travelers。

【7】句意：第二年秋天，他們在他們的新家感恩了生命和食物。

根據上文“They had a long, hard winter, and many of them died.”因漫長的嚴冬死去很多人，推斷下文指幸存下來的人在來年的秋天感恩生命和食物；give thanks for感謝……；故答案為for。

【8】句意：如今，大多數美國人仍然有通過與家人在家里會餐的方式來慶祝這種表達謝意的想法。

空格是句子的謂語，判斷填動詞；上文講述感恩節(jié)的來歷，推斷下文指如今多數美國人仍然會慶祝這個節(jié)日；根據首字母提示，celebrate意為慶祝，動詞；根據時間狀語these days，判斷句子用一般現在時；主語most Americans是復數，謂語動詞用原形；故答案為celebrate。

【9】句意：該吃午飯了。

It’s time to do sth 意為“是該做某事的時候”，由此判斷空格填動詞原形；have lunch吃午飯，故答案為to have。

【10】句意：我阿姨給我們端上了傳統(tǒng)的食物火雞。

空格在名詞前，判斷填形容詞；tradition傳統(tǒng)，名詞，其形容詞形式為traditional，傳統(tǒng)的，形容詞，故答案為traditional。
