A(2026·扬州邗江区期末)
The New Year party was usually held at my aunt's house and my favourite part was the apple cake. At the age of 11, when I first found out that my grandfather, who was never in the kitchen, was the master behind it, I was greatly 1. And I thought that this was the perfect chance to get the recipe(制作方法), and that I could actually have a time to 2 with him.
Since then, on the morning of every New Year's Day, I would go to my aunt's early, and we'd make the 3 together happily. I was amazed that Grandpa could peel an apple in one rind. And we'd mix everything and put it into the oven. 4 the cake was done, the house would immediately smell like apples.

But I was 12 myself the whole time. I was afraid the cake was going to taste terrible because it didn't have 13 touch.
At the hospital, everyone was around him, creating some 14. Grandpa looked down at the cake, and then looked back up at me and smiled. And I felt memories of our 15 moments flooding back to him.

【分析】
这是一篇亲情主题的记叙文完形填空，解题时首先要通读全文，梳理出核心主线：作者童年时发现从不进厨房的祖父是新年苹果蛋糕的制作者，之后每年都和祖父一起做蛋糕维系感情，后来祖父年老健忘甚至住院，作者依然坚持制作苹果蛋糕延续这份专属回忆。解题时每一个空都不能脱离上下文语境，要主动寻找前后文的线索提示：比如前文提到祖父从不进厨房，得知他是蛋糕制作者第一反应自然是惊讶；后文出现的bonding（联络感情）、tradition（传统）等原词，都可以直接对应前面的空的答案，结合全文温情的情感走向，就能顺理成章选出所有正确选项。
【解析】
1. 考查形容词辨析：前文提到祖父从来都不进厨房，作者第一次发现他居然是苹果蛋糕的制作者，第一感受肯定是非常惊讶，surprised惊讶的，符合语境，选A。

3. 考查名词辨析：全文围绕新年一起制作苹果蛋糕展开，后文也提到蛋糕做好后满屋子苹果香，所以两人一起做的是蛋糕，选A。
4. 考查连词辨析：句意为一旦蛋糕制作完成，屋子里立刻就会充满苹果的香气，once表示“一旦”，符合这个时间逻辑，选B。
5. 考查形容词辨析：前文提到时光飞逝，随着作者慢慢长大，祖父也同步慢慢变老，older更老的，符合语境，选C。

7. 考查动词辨析：祖父居然问作者在做什么，说明他已经开始遗忘身边的事，forget忘记，符合语境，选D。
8. 考查名词辨析：后文明确提到“我不想让这个传统消失”，这里对应的就是做苹果蛋糕是两人专属的传统，tradition传统，符合语境，选D。
