【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者的父亲在作者的年龄时的艰难的经历。

1.

句意：一天，当他放学回家，看到了门上的通知。

map地图；stamp邮票；notice通知；menu菜单。根据“It said that his family must move out of the house at once.”可知此处表达“通知”，用名词notice。故选C。

2.

句意：抽烟和喝酒花光了他父亲的钱，但是我父亲没有对此生气。

spent某人花时间在某物上或做某事；cost某物花费多少钱；paid某人付款；took做某事花费多少时间。此处主语是smoking and drinking,动词用cost表示花费。故选B。

3.

句意：相反，当他记起他和父亲坐在一起享受足球比赛的幸福时光，他感到有点兴奋。

nervous紧张的；afraid害怕的；worried担心的；excited兴奋的。根据“the happy times he had sat with his father enjoying football matches”可知此处用形容词excited表示“感到兴奋的”。故选D。

4.

句意：我的姑姑在生日聚会上哭泣，因为在家她永不会有一个属于自己的生日聚会。

because因为；whether是否；although尽管；after在……之后。此处表示原因，用连词because引出原因状语从句。故选A。

5.

句意：我的哥哥和我每年都有我们自己的（生日聚会），但是我父亲40岁的时候我们给父亲开了第一个生日聚会。

theirs他们的东西；ours我们的东西；yours你的东西；his他的东西。四个选项都是名词性物主代词，根据“My brothers and I”可知此处用ours表示“我们自己的聚会”。故选B。

6.

句意：我们有时听到他说的太多我们都没认真对待这件事。

slowly慢；quickly快；seriously严肃；simply仅仅，简单地。此处用短语take sth. seriously表示“认真对待某事”。意为父亲说的遍数太多，导致我们没有认真对待。故选C。

7.

句意：如果你在学校学习努力没有什么是你不能做成的。

something某样东西；nothing没有东西；anything任何东西；everything每样东西。根据“if you stay in school and work hard”可知此处用不定代词nothing表示“没什么事”，表示父亲认为努力学习终归会有好的前途。故选B。

8.

句意：如果以前有人给他说这些话，我认为我父亲的命运会发生变化。

darkly黑暗；politely礼貌；differently不同；carefully小心。根据changed可知此处用副词differently表示“变得不同”，父亲如果能够上学，命运就会不一样。故选C。

9.

句意：他的工作一天16个小时，因此我们能拥有一个好的家能做他绝不会做到的事。

catch捉住；lose失去；join加入；own拥有。根据“a good home”可知此处用动词own表示“拥有”。故选D。

10.

句意：爸爸，我因你而自豪。

proud自豪的；angry生气的；sad悲伤的；lucky幸运的。根据前文讲述父亲工作一天16个小时，因此我们能拥有一个好的家能做他绝不会做到的事，可知作者此处因他而自豪，用形容词proud。故选A。
