【分析】
本题为英语选词填空题，解题思路如下：1. 先明确方框内单词的词义及词性：eat（动词，吃）、she（代词，她，主格）、term（名词，学期）、thirteen（数词，十三）、photo（名词，照片）、enjoy（动词，喜欢）、meaning（名词，意义）、month（名词，月份）、celebrate（动词，庆祝）、special（形容词，特别的）；2. 通读短文，理解上下文语境；3. 分析每个空格所在句子的结构，确定所需词性；4. 结合语境选择合适单词，再根据语法规则调整形式（如序数词、第三人称单数、动名词、名词复数等），同时确保每个单词仅使用一次；5. 最后检查短文是否通顺、意思完整。
【解析】
1. 前文提到April（四月），是一个月份，故填名词month；
2. 表示“某人的第几个生日”需用序数词，thirteen的序数词为thirteenth，故填thirteenth；
3. 句意是“我去玛丽家庆祝她的生日”，此处需动词原形，故填celebrate；
4. give是动词，后接代词宾格，she的宾格是her，故填her；
5. 主语Mary是第三人称单数，且句子为一般现在时，enjoy需用第三人称单数形式enjoys，故填enjoys；
6. 此处与cool并列，需形容词，结合语境填special；
7. 句意是“我认为它对我们有意义”，meaning的形容词形式是meaningful，故填meaningful；
8. 结合语境，此处指“上个学期”，填名词term；
9. after是介词，后接动名词，eat的动名词是eating，故填eating；
10. take photos of是固定搭配，意为“给……拍照”，photo需用复数photos，故填photos。
