1.C考查名词及语境理解。句意：他在海边的一个村庄买了一个小房子。garden花园；shop 商店；house 房子；school学校。联系下句He it and hoped to live a quiet life in this house.可知该选C。

2.A考查动词及语境理解。句意：他喜欢它，希望在这所房子里过平静的生活。liked喜欢； hated讨厌；sold出售；built建造。根据并列成分hoped to live a quiet life in this house可知该选A。

3.B考查形容词及语境理解。句意：因为这是村里最有趣的建筑。big 大的； interesting 有趣的；small小的；clean干净的。根据in the village.可知该用形容词的最高级形式，当四个词中只有interesting是加most构成最高级，所以选B。

4.D考查名词及语境理解。句意：从早上到晚上房子外有游客。children孩子；students学生；parents父母；visitors游客。联系前句many visitors came to see his house in summer holidays,可知该选D。

7.A考查动词不定式及语境理解。句意：如果你想参观它，就进来看看。to visit 是visit的动词不定式形式；visit 参观；visits是visit的第三人称单数形式；visiting是visit的现在分词或动名词形式。want to do sth想做某事，所以选A。

8.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：史密斯先生肯定游客不来了，但是他错了。go on 继续；stop停止；keep保持；like喜欢。根据句意结合语境可知该选B。

9.C考查动词及语境理解。句意：越来越多的游客来了，史密斯先生不得不花费每天带他们参观他家。Take花费（时间）；cost成本；spend花费（时间或钱）；pay付款。Spend…doing sth是一个固定句型，所以选C。

10.D考查动词及语境理解。句意：我来到这里居住，不是做向导。play玩；work工作；watch观看；live居住，生活。根据句意结合语境可知该选D。
