試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了Mrs. Jackson在她丈夫死后，自己一個(gè)人獨(dú)自住在老房子里，但他還是不聽女兒的勸告沒有賣掉房子，在平安夜前的一天下午她聽到有人敲門，等了一段時(shí)間她開門時(shí)吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)她的新鄰居給她送了一棵漂亮的圣誕樹。

【1】句意：自從Mrs. Jackson的丈夫死后，她就一直在他的大房子里獨(dú)自居住。根據(jù)Since her husband died可知主句應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)have done的結(jié)構(gòu)； 結(jié)合語境及所給單詞的提示故答案是has lived 。

【2】句意：為了安全起見，她的女兒努力勸她讓她賣掉房子，在鎮(zhèn)上買一個(gè)小的新的房子。根據(jù) ask her to sell the house可知與下文buy a new and small one in the town買一個(gè)新的房子是并列的關(guān)系，故用并列連詞and.

【3】句意：Mrs. Jackson不同意，她說她必須照顧她丈夫的老房子。根據(jù)題意和所給單詞的提示用名詞所有格，故填husband’s 。

【4】句意：但是這些天，他經(jīng)常聽到關(guān)于不認(rèn)識(shí)的人們偷東西的故事，本題考查定語從中的先行詞指人，故引導(dǎo)詞用who或that。

【5】句意：在平安夜前的寒冷的一天。 A cold day表示寒冷的一天，根據(jù)題意可知表示泛指，故答案是 a。

【6】句意：當(dāng)Mrs. Jackson聽到有人敲門的時(shí)候，他正在享受圣誕節(jié)的音樂，本題考查when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句，表示當(dāng)……的時(shí)候；故答案是when。

【7】句意：她決定不開門，而是保持等。根據(jù)keep doing表示保持做某事；故答案是waiting。

【8】句意：一分鐘又一分鐘的過去了，沒什么事情發(fā)生也不再有人敲門；根據(jù)題意可知表示否定意義，故答案是nothing。

【9】句意：他慢慢地打開門，從門縫中觀看。根據(jù)副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，故答案是slowly。

【10】句意：在圣誕樹的下面有一張寫著一些字的卡片。根據(jù) these+名詞的復(fù)數(shù)；故答案是words。
