【解析】

文章大意：作者介绍了自己出生的地方现在和过去的不同。

1.句意：现在情况完全不同了。

different不同的；the same一样；like类似的；same一样的、相同的。根据下文的描述可知，现在和过去大不一样了，故答案选A。

2.句意：让我们到处走走吧。

take拿、取；show展示；make制作；walk走、步行。根据Let's __2__ around.结合下文语境，可知此处指的是“四处走走、看看”，walk around四处走动，故答案选D。

3.句意：那时也是一所学校。

too也、一般用在肯定句末尾；also也，一般用在句中；either也，一般用在否定句末尾；and和、并且。根据It was __3__ a school then.可知本句是肯定句，设空处在句中，所以用also，故答案选B。

4.句意：老师们都很亲切、和蔼。

friendly友好的、亲切的，形容词；happily高兴的，形容词；carefully仔细地，副词； D. friend朋友，名词。根据The teachers were very __4__ and nice,可知，and连接两个并列成分，根据nice可知这里应用friendly，表示老师们都很亲切、和蔼，故答案选A。

5.句意：但是他们对我们要求很严格。

angry生气的；comfortable舒适的；happy高兴的；strict严格的。根据转折词but，可知此处应与前面的friendly and nice意思相反，结合选项可知用strict严格的，be strict with sb.对某人要求严格，故答案选D。

6.句意：学校旁边有两座房子。

was一般过去时，单数；are一般现在时，复数；were一般过去时，复数；is一般现在时，单数。根据There __6__ two houses next to the school.可知本句为there be句型，主语two houses是复数，be动词用复数，由语境可知这里是在描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，所以用were，故答案选C。

7.句意：有一个带小花园的大房子是我老师的房子。

have有；with带有、拥有、介词；has有，动词，第三人称单数；was是。根据The big one __7__ a small garden was my teacher's house.可知句意为“有一个带小花园的大房子是我老师的房子。”此处指带有一个花园的那个大房子，故用with表示伴随，with a small garden是介词短语，在句中作后置定语，故答案选B。

8.句意：在这座房子的后面，向北有一片稻田。

to朝向、面向；on在…上面；of…的；at在。根据Behind the house, __8__ the north, there were rice fields. 可知句意为“在这座房子的后面，向北有一片稻田。”所以用介词to，故答案选A。

9.句意：我家在马路的另一边。

coast海岸；lake湖；side边；town城镇；根据My home was on the other __9__ of the road. 可知句意为“我家在马路的另一边。” on the other side of在…的另一边，固定搭配，故答案选C。

10.句意：我们很喜欢在那里玩。

much很多，修饰不可数名词；a lot of 许多，修饰可数名词或者不可数名词；a lot很、非常，副词，修饰动词；very很、非常，副词，修饰形容词。根据We liked playing there __10__.可知，设空处修饰前面的谓语动词liked，所以用a lot，故答案选C。
