A young couple bought a big house from two sisters, whom bought it at low price. However, winter wasn’t far away at the time. The couple were a little bit worrying about how they would keep the house warm, though it didn’t have any fireplaces. But later, they thought that if the sisters were able to stay warm and comfortably in the house during the winter, so could they.

Winter arrived and temperatures soon drops below zero. The large house became freezing cold, with frost covered the walls. Finally, the husband couldn’t bear with it anymore.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一对夫妇买了一个没有取暖设施的房子的幽默故事。

1. 考查关系代词。先行词是人，关系词在从句作主语，要用that或who；本句又是非限制性定语从句，不能用that，故将whom改为who。

2. 考查冠词。固定短语：at a low/high price（以一个很低/高的价格），故加a。

3. 考查形容词。本句主语是The couple（这对夫妇）应该是“这对夫妇对此是很担心的。”，主语是人，所以要用形容词worried（担心的）作表语；而形容词worrying意为“令人担心的”，故将worrying改为worried。

4. 考查连词。句意：这对夫妇有点担心如何保持房子的温暖，因为那里没有壁炉。前后两句应该是因果关系，故将though改为as/because/since/for。

5. 考查形容词。系动词stay（保持）要接形容词作表语，故将comfortably改为comfortable。

6. 考查时态。本句说的是过去的事情，所以此处谓语动词应该用一般过去时态，故将drops改为dropped。

7. 考查现在分词。with的复合结构，作宾语补足语的cover与宾语frost是主动关系，所以要用现在分词；with frost covering the walls.的意思是“有霜覆盖在墙上”故将covered改为covering。

8. 考查介词。句意：最后，丈夫再也忍受不了它了。动词bear是及物动词，可以直接接宾语it，故将with去掉。

9. 考查代词。上文说“丈夫再也忍受不了它了”，所以此处是指代这个丈夫，要用代词he。故将She改为He。

10. 考查名词。固定结构：one of the+复数名词（……之一），故将sister改为sisters。
