【解析】短文大意：米迦勒13岁，每年父母都为他庆祝生日，今年米迦勒忙于考试而忘记了自己的生日，他的父母没有忘记给他过生日，给他准备了一个生日大蛋糕，并给他买了一个长笛作为生日礼物。米迦勒深深地意识到虽然父母对他要求严格，但还是非常爱他的。

1.句意：我13岁了，我的生日是在秋天。结合句意可知，此处填写一个表示季节的名词，答案为autumn。

2.句意：每一年我的父母为我庆祝生日。此处缺少谓语动词，根据“Every year”判断，句子的时态为一般现在时态，结合句意可知，答案为celebrate。

3.句意：今年，因为我考试很忙，忘记了自己的生日。不定冠词an后跟单数可数名词，单词应以元音音素开头，故答案为exam。

4.句意：他们想要给我一个惊喜，因此他们自己为我准备了生日。prepare for为……作准备；结合前后句判断，句子的时态为一般过去时态，故答案为prepared。

5.句意：但最后我看到了为我准备的生日卡片。此空格应与at first相对应，故答案为finally。

6.句意：我既惊讶又高兴。此处并列连词and连接两个形容词，故答案为surprised。

7.句意：我接受了这个盒子，想知道里面装的是什么。此处缺少谓语动词，应该填写过去式形式，根据“and wondered what was in it.”判断，作者接受了礼物，故答案为accepted。

8.句意：我赶紧打开它的封面。结合句意可知，此处是指打开盒子的封面，故答案为cover。

9.句意：所以他们没告诉我就给我买了。without doing sth.没有做某事，结合句意可知，答案为without。

10.句意：虽然我的父母总是让我不要做这做那，但我知道他们是爱我的。结合语境理解，前后句表示转折关系，故答案填Though。

点睛：本题考查的是选词填空。用词的适当形式完成短文填空。首先要通读全文，掌握短文大意，判断每个空所要填入的单词，再根据语法需要作出相应的变化。这类题目直接考查学生在语境中的综合理解能力，如果考查的是动词的时态，可以结合上下文的时态去做出判断，如第4，第7小题都是考查动词的过去式形式。
