Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述的是一对夫妇已经结婚60多年了，他们分享一切，谈论一切，彼此之间没有秘密，除了那个女人在抽屉里有一个盒子，她告诉她丈夫不要打开它或问她关于这个盒子的事情．最后女人病得很重，医生说她不会康复了．此时，她同意丈夫把盒子打开．原来盒子里装的是女人卖小茶几垫攒的钱．

解答 1．about 考查介词的用法．根据They shared everything，talked （1）everything可知他们分享和谈论每一件事．talk about是固定搭配，意为：谈论．故该处填about．
2．that/which 考查定语从句．______she told her husband never to open or ask her about为定语从句，修饰先行词a box；定语从句中缺少open和about的宾语，指物，用关系代词that/which．故该处填that/which．
3．the 考查定冠词．本句中的女士特指上文中提到的妻子，因此，用定冠词the．故该处填the．
4．brought 考查动词时态．and连接并列谓语，前后时态保持一致．took为过去式，因此，本空应填bring的过去式brought．故该处填brought．
5．knew/should know 考查固定句式．It's time that sb．did/should do sth．是某人该做某事的时候了．故该处填knew/should know．
6．opening 考查非谓语动词作状语．主语he与open之间为主动关系，应用现在分词做状语．因此，本空填opening．
7．marriage 考查名词．a+形容词+名词．因此，本空填marry的名词形式marriage．故该处填marriage．
8．if/when 考查连词．当我生气的时候，我应当保持安静，并做一个垫子；如果我生气的话，我应当保持安静，并做一个垫子．两种说法都成立，因此，本空填when或if都可以．故该处填if/when．
9．moved 考查形容词．句意：男士是如此的感动以至于不得不抑制住泪水．moved的意思是："感动的"．故该处填moved．
10．them 考查代词．指代the mats小茶几垫，其是复数形式，所以应用代词them．故该处填them．
