It was just too late.We （3）　were　 so busy that we did not have the time to buy our girl a bike.We thought about this problem （4）　carefully　 ."What if I make a bicycle out of clay（泥） and write a note that she could exchange（交换） the clay bike for a real one？" （5）　My　 husband asked. "I think it's a good idea.Almie has （6）　had　 the dream for a long time after all，"I said.So he spent the next four hours （7）　making　 a small clay bike.It was really a（8）　success　 .
On Christmas morning，we were （9）　excited　 to wait for Almie to open the gift box.Finally，she opened it and read the note."I would never exchange this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made for me.It is my （10）　first　 bike.I want to keep it instead of getting a real bike，" she said excitedly.We were touched and we had a great Christmas.
【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了圣诞节前两个月，女儿Almie说她想要一辆自行车。然而，随着圣诞节的临近，她对自行车的梦想似乎渐渐消失了。我们给她买了一些蜡笔，但令我们惊讶的是，圣诞前夕，她说她还是最想要自行车。然而，为时已晚，我们太忙了，没有时间给女儿买一辆自行车。我们考虑了这个问题："如果我用泥土做一辆自行车，并写一张纸条，她可以用这个泥土自行车来换一辆真正的自行车呢？"我丈夫问道。"我觉得这是个好主意。毕竟，Almie长久以来一直有这个梦想。"我说。于是，他花了接下来的四个小时做了一辆小小的泥土自行车。这真是太棒了。圣诞早上，我们迫不及待地等待Almie打开礼物盒。最后，她打开了盒子，读了纸条。"我永远不会用这辆爸爸为我做的漂亮自行车来换一辆真正的自行车。我想留着它，而不是得到一辆真正的自行车。"她兴奋地说道。我们被感动了，度过了一个美好的圣诞节。
【解答】（1）考查名词。句意：我们给她买了一些蜡笔。根据We bought her some____（我们给她买了一些____），可知此处是指给女儿买的礼物，结合选项crayon（蜡笔）符合句意，some一些，修饰可数名词复数，故名词用复数形式。故填crayons。
（2）考查副词比较级。句意：我真的最想要一辆自行车。根据than可知，空格处应填比较级，结合句意和选项much，可知此处用more than，表示"超过"。故填more。
（3）考查系动词。句意：我们太忙，以至于没有时间给女儿买一辆自行车。busy忙碌的，形容词作表语，空格处应填系动词，主语是we，时态为一般过去时，系动词用were。故填were。
（4）考查副词。句意：我们仔细地考虑了这个问题。根据题干，空格处应填副词修饰动词短语thought about，选项careful（仔细的）是形容词，副词为carefully。故填carefully。
（5）考查代词。句意："如果我用粘土做一辆自行车，写一张纸条，她可以用粘土自行车交换真的自行车，怎么样？"我的丈夫问。根据句意可知，此处是指"我的丈夫"，选项I（我），主格，此处是修饰名词husband，用形容词性物主代词。故填my。
（6）考查动词。句意：毕竟Almie长久以来一直有这个梦想。根据Almie has ____ the dream （Almie____这个梦想），可知应选择动词have，表示"有"，前有助动词has，此句用现在完成时，结构为has+过去分词。故填had。
（7）考查动名词。句意：于是，他花了接下来的四个小时做了一辆小小的泥土自行车。根据句意可知，此处应选择动词make，表示"制作"；spend some time doing sth.花费多少时间做某事。故填making。
（8）考查名词。句意：它真的很成功。根据So he spent the next four hours making a small clay bike.（于是，他花了接下来的四个小时做了一辆小小的泥土自行车。）可知，作者的丈夫成功地做了泥土自行车，选项success成功，名词；根据空格前的冠词a，可知此处应填名词。故填success。
（9）考查形容词。句意：圣诞节的早上，我们兴奋地等着Almie 打开礼品盒。根据to wait for Almie to open the gift box（等着Almie 打开礼品盒）可知，作者和丈夫是兴奋地等待，选项excite使兴奋，动词，此处是在系动词were之后，用形容词作表语，excited兴奋的。故填excited。
（10）考查序数词。句意：这是我的第一辆自行车。根据句意和选项one，可知此处用序数词first，表示"第一"。故填first。
