解析试题分析:
【小题1】根据第一段最后一句He _____ it and hoped to live a quiet life in this house.
意思为他希望在这个房子里过上安静的生活,所以可以判断出本句he bought a small  _____  in a village near the sea.的含义应该是他在海附近的村庄买了一套小房子,故本题选房子的单词house,故本题选C。
【小题2】根据后句的意思他希望在这房子里过上安静生活,那么可以判断出本句表示的意思应该是喜欢这所房子,意思较符合的为A,hate讨厌,sold买,built建造,BCD意思与文意不符,故本题选A。
【小题3】许多游客度假的时候到此看他的房子,那么他的房子是最有趣的才符合文意,interesting的最高级是the most interesting,故本题选B。
【小题4】根据第二段第一句many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays,可知本句From morning to night there were ______ outside the house. 的含义是从早到晚,房子里有许多游客,故本题选游客的单词tourists,故本题选D。
【小题5】人们对史密斯家的房子好奇,既然是有人甚至去他家的花园看一看,AB表示否定意思,故不选,much修饰不可数名词,故不选,many可以修饰可数名词,或代指可数名词,所以本题选C。
【小题6】根据后句he was wrong. More and more visitors came.可知史密斯先生是不想让游客到他家的房子里来,是想让游客离开他家的房子,故本题选离开的单词leave较符合文意,故本题选B。
【小题7】表示想做某事可用want to do,satisfy是动词满足的意思,故本题选A。
【小题8】本题后半句表示转折,意思为越来越多的人来参观他的房子,所以本句的含义是史密斯先生认为游客不会到他的房子里来,stop doing sth表示不做某事或停止做某事,故本题选B.
【小题9】Mr. Smith had to ____ every day showing them around his house.本句的含义是史密斯先生把每天的时间都花费在给游客介绍房子上,主语是人通常用spend或pay,spend+时间+doing sth表示做某事花费某人多长时间,故本题选C。
【小题10】I came here to relax not to work _____ a guide.本句的含义根据文章意思应该是史密斯先生买房子到这儿来是为了放松的,而不是让游客让游客到他家的房子里来玩,自己充当导游的,work as表示充当或当作的意思,故本题选A。
考点:考查完形填空的做法
点评:本文主要介绍史密斯先生退休后,想住在安静的地方,于是买了一套房子,但是到此地方游玩的游客,误以为史密斯的住处是一个景点,从而使史密斯家变得不再安静,最终史密斯先生决定卖房。所以阅读本文应该以史密斯先生买房和卖房的过程和原因为线索,反复推敲本文,理解本文所表示的含义。
