【解析】

本文表达了作者对爷爷的爱，作者的爷爷因患病记忆力变得很差，但是作者非常爱着自己的爷爷。

1.

句意：今天是我爷爷的八十岁生日。

grandpa爷爷；grandma奶奶；grandma’s奶奶的；grandpa’s爷爷的。根据下文中“After dinner, I was holding Grandpa’s hand and taking a walk in the park as usual.”可知，晚饭后，我握着爷爷的手，像往常一样在公园散步，所以此处使用grandpa’s，表示“今天是我爷爷的八十岁生日”。故选D。

2.

句意：我多么希望我身上也有一些（花生）！

What什么；How怎么样；Which哪一个；Why为什么。根据句末的感叹号可知，该句为感叹句；句中主语是I，谓语是wished，所以此处使用how引导感叹句，结构为how+主语+谓语。故选B。

3.

句意：他表现得好像是第一次见到它们。

so that以便于；although尽管；as if好像；even if即使。根据下文中“He fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease…destroy（ 破坏）a person’s memory”可知，爷爷得了阿尔茨海默症，这种疾病会破坏人的记忆，所以当他看到金鱼的时候，他表现得好像是第一次见到它们，所以此处使用as if。故选C。

4.

句意：那一刻，我的眼泪流了下来，因为他得了一种病。

because因为；with因为，由于；of属于……的；from来自。because后接完整的句子说明原因，句中a disease happening to him是短语，所以此处使用with，with相当于because of，后接短语说明原因，此处表示“因为他得了一种病”。故选B。

5.

句意：医生说这是一种进行性大脑紊乱，可以破坏一个人的记忆。

can能够；could能够；may也许；had to不得不。根据句中was可知，句中时态为一般过去时，动词应使用过去式，所以排除A和C；结合句意可知，此处使用could，表示“这种病可以破坏一个人的记忆”。故选B。

6.

句意：但当我父母邀请他和我们一起住时，他拒绝了，说他喜欢一个人住。

live lonely孤独的活着；living alone独自生活，独自居住；living lonely孤独的活着；live alone独自生活，独自居住；根据句中liked可知，此处是like doing sth.，所以排除A和D；根据句中“he refused”可知，此处使用living alone，表示“爷爷拒绝和我们住在一起，因为他喜欢一个人住”。故选B。

7.

句意：幸运的是，在火势蔓延之前，他的一个邻居来帮他。

teachers老师；classmates同学；neighbor邻居，neighbors是neighbor的复数形式。根据上文中“One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge.”可知，有一天，他煮粥后忘了关火，说明当时爷爷是在家里，所以此处是“邻居来帮他控制火势蔓延”，由于句中有one of结构，所以此处使用neighbors，one of his neighbors他的一位邻居。故选C。

8.

句意：就在那时，我父母把爷爷带来和我们一起住。

bought买；have brought带来；took拿走；brought带来。根据句中was可知，句中时态为一般过去时，所以此处使用brought，表示“我父母把爷爷带来和我们一起住”。故选D。

9.

句意：每次我都会轻声回答：“是我，你的小珍妮，爷爷！”

wisely明智地；softly轻声地；angrily生气地；hardly几乎不。根据下文中“I love him forever.”可知，我永远爱我的爷爷，所以此处使用softly，表示“每次我都会轻声地回答爷爷的问题”。故选B。

10.

句意：即使他忘记了我是谁，他也永远是我亲爱的爷爷。

is是；are是；be是be动词，to be是动词不定式。根据句中would是情态动词可知，此处使用动词原形be。故选B。
