解析:
1. 第1空:考查名词所有格,此处表示“爷爷的生日”,要在名词grandpa后加's构成所有格,修饰名词birthday,故填grandpa's。
2. 第2空:考查可数名词复数,tomato是可数名词,此处和后面的cucumbers、apples并列,表示一类事物,要用复数形式tomatoes。
3. 第3空:考查固定搭配plan to do sth.,意为“计划做某事”,所以填动词不定式to cook。
4. 第4空:考查形容词比较级,句中出现than表示比较,much的比较级是more,表达“比起猪肉更喜欢牛肉”的含义。
5. 第5空:考查可数名词复数,数词three后接可数名词复数,hour的复数形式是hours。
6. 第6空:考查副词用法,此处修饰动词chat,需要用副词,形容词happy的副词形式是happily。
7. 第7空:考查一般现在时,主语he是第三人称单数,和并列的谓语gives时态保持一致,cut的第三人称单数形式是cuts。
8. 第8空:考查定冠词,此处特指前面提到的生日蛋糕,用定冠词The,位于句首首字母大写。
9. 第9空:考查介词,固定搭配go for a walk with sb. 意为“和某人一起散步”,填with。
10. 第10空:考查固定短语have a good time,意为“玩得开心,过得愉快”,填不定冠词a。
