【分析】
首先整体梳理解题思路：A部分语法填空先通读全文，把握全文是一般过去时的叙事语境，再逐个分析每个空格的语法属性：1空修饰children，表“被命名为”的被动含义，用过去分词作后置定语；2空描述过去发生的“母亲去世”的动作，用一般过去式；3空和前面的took是并列谓语，要保持过去式形式；4空结合“沿路撒面包屑”的语境，对应固定搭配along the way；5空修饰整个句子，结合后文鸟吃光面包的负面情节，要用否定含义的副词；6空特指回家的那条小路，用定冠词the限定；7空定语从句的谓语动词要和全文过去时态保持一致，用过去式；8空介词after后面要接动名词作宾语；9空表示“由可直接辨识的原材料制成”，用固定搭配be made of；10空修饰动词shouted，要用副词形式。B部分回答问题回到原文定位对应情节即可提取答案：第一题从继母把孩子独自扔在森林的行为判断她的性格，第二题定位孩子往森林深处走之后的情节。C部分续写要贴合经典童话的逻辑，围绕智斗巫婆、脱险归家的主线创作，保证情节连贯、符合字数要求即可。
【解析】
A. 语法填空：
1. 此处用过去分词named作后置定语修饰children，表被动含义“被叫做Hansel和Gretel的两个孩子”，填named。
2. 全文为过去的叙事语境，描述母亲在他们年幼时去世的动作，用一般过去时，die的过去式为died。
3. and连接并列谓语，前面的took是一般过去式，因此leave要变为过去式left，表“把他们留在那里”。
4. 固定搭配along the way意为“沿路、一路上”，符合沿路撒面包屑的语境，填along。
5. 此处作整个句子的状语，鸟吃光所有面包是不幸的事件，因此用副词Unluckily，句首首字母大写。
6. 此处特指返回家里的那条小路，表特指用定冠词the。
7. 全文为一般过去时叙事，定语从句的谓语动词lead要变为过去式led。
8. 介词after后接动词时，要使用动名词形式，walk变为walking。
9. 固定搭配be made of意为“由……制成”，可直接看出原材料，符合小屋用巧克力、糖果、蛋糕搭建的语境，填of。
10. 此处修饰动词shouted，要用副词形式，happy的副词为happily。
B. 回答问题：
1. 根据原文继母将两个孩子独自遗弃在森林的行为，可判断她性格残忍，整理出对应答案即可。
2. 定位原文“Hansel and Gretel went deeper and deeper into the forest... they saw a cottage made of chocolate, candy and cake”，直接提取对应信息即可。
C. 续写部分贴合故事逻辑，围绕巫婆想要吃掉孩子，兄妹二人智斗巫婆、最终脱险和父亲团聚的主线创作，符合80词左右的要求即可。
