試題分析：

1.根據(jù)第一段最后一句He _____ it and hoped to live a quiet life in this house.

意思為他希望在這個房子里過上安靜的生活，所以可以判斷出本句he bought a small  _____  in a village near the sea.的含義應(yīng)該是他在海附近的村莊買了一套小房子，故本題選房子的單詞house，故本題選C。

2.根據(jù)后句的意思他希望在這房子里過上安靜生活，那么可以判斷出本句表示的意思應(yīng)該是喜歡這所房子，意思較符合的為A,hate討厭，sold買，built建造，BCD意思與文意不符，故本題選A。

3.許多游客度假的時候到此看他的房子，那么他的房子是最有趣的才符合文意，interesting的最高級是the most interesting，故本題選B。

4.根據(jù)第二段第一句many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays，可知本句From morning to night there were ______ outside the house. 的含義是從早到晚，房子里有許多游客，故本題選游客的單詞tourists，故本題選D。

5.人們對史密斯家的房子好奇，既然是有人甚至去他家的花園看一看，AB表示否定意思，故不選，much修飾不可數(shù)名詞，故不選，many可以修飾可數(shù)名詞，或代指可數(shù)名詞，所以本題選C。

6.根據(jù)后句he was wrong. More and more visitors came.可知史密斯先生是不想讓游客到他家的房子里來，是想讓游客離開他家的房子，故本題選離開的單詞leave較符合文意，故本題選B。

7.表示想做某事可用want to do，satisfy是動詞滿足的意思，故本題選A。

8.本題后半句表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意思為越來越多的人來參觀他的房子，所以本句的含義是史密斯先生認為游客不會到他的房子里來，stop doing sth表示不做某事或停止做某事，故本題選B.

9. Mr. Smith had to ____ every day showing them around his house.本句的含義是史密斯先生把每天的時間都花費在給游客介紹房子上，主語是人通常用spend或pay，spend+時間+doing sth表示做某事花費某人多長時間，故本題選C。

10.I came here to relax not to work _____ a guide.本句的含義根據(jù)文章意思應(yīng)該是史密斯先生買房子到這兒來是為了放松的，而不是讓游客讓游客到他家的房子里來玩，自己充當(dāng)導(dǎo)游的，work as表示充當(dāng)或當(dāng)作的意思，故本題選A。

考點：考查完形填空的做法

點評：本文主要介紹史密斯先生退休后，想住在安靜的地方，于是買了一套房子，但是到此地方游玩的游客，誤以為史密斯的住處是一個景點，從而使史密斯家變得不再安靜，最終史密斯先生決定賣房。所以閱讀本文應(yīng)該以史密斯先生買房和賣房的過程和原因為線索，反復(fù)推敲本文，理解本文所表示的含義。
