【分析】
解题时，先通读短文，明确文章主题为巨人的故事，理解每处空格的语境与语法要求；再从方框内选词，结合时态、词性、单复数等变化调整词形，同时注意每词仅用一次，排除多余选项；最后依据上下文逻辑、固定搭配及语法规则确定每个空的答案。
【解析】
1. 前文巨人“angry and shouts at the children”，后文“they run away”为因果关系，故用so连接结果；
2. 此处表示“一堵高墙”，需用不定冠词a修饰可数名词wall；
3. 由“hasn’t”可知为现在完成时，需用see的过去分词seen；
4. 文章围绕巨人的花园展开，此处指“巨人的花园”，故填garden；
5. 此处指听到鸟唱歌，bird为可数名词，表泛指用复数birds；
6. 结合后文“sees a hole in the wall”可知是“向外看”，故填outside；
7. there be句型遵循就近原则，主语“a little child”为单数，一般现在时be动词用is；
8. 此处指树用花覆盖自己，需用反身代词themselves指代trees；
9. “with joy”为固定搭配，表“带着喜悦”，符合语境；
10. 结合巨人的行为（赶走孩子导致花园无生机），可知他很自私，故填形容词selfish。
【答案】
1. so 2. a 3. seen 4. garden 5. birds 6. outside 7. is 8. themselves 9. with 10. selfish
