【解析】

試題分析：

1.根據第一段最后一句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修飾不可數名詞，故不選，many可以修飾可數名詞，或代指可數名詞，所以本題選C。

6.根據后句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.本句的含義根據文章意思應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，自己充當導游的，work as表示充當或當作的意思，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。所以閱讀本文應該以史密斯先生買房和賣房的過程和原因為線索，反復推敲本文，理解本文所表示的含義。
