【分析】做语法填空时，需先通读短文理解整体语境，再结合每个空的语法规则、固定搭配、词性变化等逐一分析：1. 表示“第十二个生日”，需用序数词；2. 朋友来的目的是庆祝生日，用不定式表目的；3. their修饰可数名词，此处指多个礼物，用复数；4. 表示“带有12根蜡烛的蛋糕”，用介词with；5. be good at后接动名词；6. 表示“简的礼物”，用名词所有格；7. 主语Alice是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语用单三形式；8. 前后句是因果关系，表原因用because；9. 感叹句结构“what a +可数名词单数”；10. 修饰名词games需用形容词，fun变形容词funny。
【解析】1. 此处表示“第十二个生日”，应用twelve的序数词形式twelfth；2. 此处用不定式作目的状语，表“来庆祝”，故填to celebrate；3. their是形容词性物主代词，后接可数名词复数，gift的复数是gifts；4. 介词with表示“带有，具有”，符合语境“带有12根蜡烛的蛋糕”；5. 固定搭配be good at doing sth.，故填make的动名词形式making；6. 此处表示“简的礼物”，应用名词所有格Jane's；7. 主语Alice是第三人称单数，一般现在时中谓语动词用单三形式，故填likes；8. 前后句为因果关系，后句表原因，故用连词because；9. 感叹句结构为“What a +形容词+可数名词单数！”，surprise是可数名词，故填a；10. 此处修饰名词games，需用形容词，fun的形容词是funny。
【答案】1. twelfth 2. to celebrate 3. gifts 4. with 5. making 6. Jane's 7. likes 8. because 9. a 10. funny
