本文是改编自《威尼斯商人》。摆在巴萨尼奥面前有三个盒子：金盒子、银盒子和铅盒子让他选择个。他选了一个普通颜色的铅盒。当他打开盒子，看到里面有他心爱姑娘波西亚的照片。盒子里的文字告诉他选对了盒子。

【1】句意：波西亚很高兴见到他，因为她记得他早些时候的来访。

根据前后两句的句意和首字母提示，可知Portia was very pleased to see him和 she remembered him from his earlier visit.属于因果关系，波西亚很高兴见到他，因为她记得他早些时候的来访。because因为，引导原因状语从句，故答案为because。

【2】句意：她确信他会勇敢地选择一个盒子。

根据下文Bassanio loved Portia more than e _4__ . 可知巴萨尼奥非常爱波西亚，由首字母及句意，可推测她很确信他会勇敢地选择一个盒子。certain “确定的”形容词。be certain (that)+从句意为“对……确信”，故答案为certain。

【3】句意：她希望他能有足够的智慧来选择那个有她照片的那个盒子。

根据choose the one with her picture in it. 选择那个有她照片的那个盒子，可知选对盒子需要智慧，由首字母提示，可知用wise“明智的”形容词。做be的表语，故答案为wise。

【4】句意：巴塞尼奥比以往任何时候都更爱波西亚。

固定搭配more than ever 比以往任何时候都，故答案为ever。

【5】句意：然而，波西亚现在害怕他会选择错误的盒子。

根据上文“She hoped he would be w___3___ enough to choose the one with her picture in it.她希望他能有足够的智慧来选择那个有她照片的那个盒子。”由However然而，可知她现在害怕他会选择错误的盒子。由首字母提示，可知用wrong“错误的”，故答案为wrong。

【6】句意：最后，波西亚把巴塞尼奥带到三个箱子前，告诉他规则。

根据下文He looked at the gold and silver和He would choose the lead box with its ordinary color. 他看着金和银盒子。他会选择普通颜色的铅盒子。可知，一共有三种分别用金、银和铅做的盒子，所以用three“三个”，故答案为three。

【7】句意：巴塞尼奥看了看盒子，但他没有看上面的文字。

根据read“读”和首字母提示，可知用writing “文字”，故答案为writing。

【8】句意：他不想要这些漂亮的金银盒子。

根据下文He would choose the lead box with its ordinary color. 他会选择普通颜色的铅盒。可知他不想要这些漂亮的金银盒子。所以空格处用表示否定的助动词，全文时态为一般过去时，可知用助动词didn’t，故答案为didn’t。

【9】句意：盒子里的文字告诉他，他选择了正确的盒子。

根据上文He wanted to choose a box and marry her. 他想选择一个盒子嫁给她，可知他选择了正确的盒子，由he had ，可知此处时态为过去完成时，所以用choose的过去分词chosen，故答案为chosen。

【10】句意：上面写着，他应该走到波西亚面前，看着她的眼睛。

根据上文The writing inside the box told him that…盒子里的文字告诉他…，可知it指代The writing，可知上面写着，所以用It says that“上面写道”，此处应用过去式said，故答案为said。
