【解析】

文章讲述戴维和父母搬到新家并和新邻居凯西成为好朋友。文章最后以戴维和妈妈之间的一个幽默对话结束。

1.句意：……他有一个很大的农场。

考查名词词义辨析。school学校，farm农场，factory工厂，restaurant餐馆。由上文“His father was a rich farmer（他的爸爸是一个富有的农场主）”可知，下文句意应为“他有一个很大的农场”，farmer与farm相呼应。故选B。

2.句意：……上个月在这里买了一栋房子。

考查动词词义辨析。closed（close）关闭，opened（open）打开，sold（sell）出售，bought（buy）购买。由上文“Later on his father opened a shop in our town（后来，他爸爸在我们镇上开了一家商店）”可知，下文句意应为“并在这里买了一栋房子”。故选D。

3.句意：……所以，对他而言，要交朋友是不容易的。

考查动词短语。由上文“But David was shy（但是戴维很害羞）”可知，下文句意应为“所以，对他而言，要交朋友是不容易的。”make friends是动词短语，“交朋友”。故选A。

4.句意：他的邻居凯西是个善良的女孩。

考查形容词词义辨析。bad坏的，kind友善的、友好的、慈祥的。serious严肃的，slow慢的。由下文“she decided to help him（她决定帮助他）”可知，他的邻居凯西是个善良的女孩。故选B。

5.句意：当她发现这个男孩从不和他人交谈……

考查副词词义辨析。never从不、绝不， always总是、一直，usually 通常，sometimes有时。由下文“she decided to help him（她决定帮助他）”可知，上文是一个含有否定意义的陈述句，句意应为“当她发现这个男孩从不和他人交谈……”。故选A。

6.句意：他们很快就变成了好朋友。

考查人称代词主格。由上文“She talked a lot with him and sometimes played with him.（她经常和他交谈，有时还和他一起玩）”可知，she指凯西，him指戴维，则下文为避免重复，用复数人称代词they来替代。故选D。

7.句意：明天是我的十六岁生日。

考查序数词。由最后一段第三句“…it were your sixteenth birthday”可知，“明天是我的十六岁生日”。故选C。

8.句意：……那个男孩高兴地说。

考查副词词义辨析。sadly难过地，carefully细心地，cheaply便宜地，happily高兴地。由上文“Certainly, I’d love to.”可知，戴维“高兴地”答应参加凯西的聚会。故选D。

9.句意：戴维回到家并考虑他能送什么给凯西。

考查宾语从句的连接词。由下文“ He was sorry that he forgot to ask the girl what she liked.（很遗憾，他忘记问女孩喜欢什么。）”可知，“戴维回到家并考虑他能送什么给凯西。”所以要用连接代词what来引导从句，并在从句中充当宾语。故选A。

10.句意：如果今天是你十六岁的生日，你想要什么？

考查连词。由下文“ it were your sixteenth birthday”可知，该句表示假设（虚拟语气），所以应用连词if引导。故选C。
