试题分析：本文讲述了一对夫妇为一个老人工作。老人客厅里有个大盒子，老人对他们说不要打开它。那个妻子在老人没有在家时打开了那个盒子，结果里面什么也没有。后来老人回来发现了盒子被打开了，让他们离开他家，因为他无法相信他们。

1.修饰名词living room用名词所有格形式，故此处为man’s。句意：在那个老人的客厅里有一个大盒子。

2.after是介词，后面接动名词，故此处为saying。句意：他说完这个就离开了家。

3.根据前文的The old man pointed(指) to the box and said, “There's only one thing you mustn’t do. Don't open the box.” 可知这个老人不让他们打开这个盒子，故盒子里应有昂贵的东西，故此处为expensive。句意：盒子里一定有昂贵的东西。

4.此处作为动词短语find out的宾语从句，其中缺少主语，表示事物，故用代词what。句意：一天，她决定看看里面是什么。

5.to one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是，故此处为surprise。句意：令她感到惊讶的是，她发现盒子里什么都没有。

6.根据but可知此处表示转折关系，应表示没有能够靠近盒子，故表示失败了，应填failed。句意：她努力靠近它，但是她失败了。

7.根据She opened the box and looked inside. 可知此处表示盒子开着，be open开着，故此处为open。句意：那天晚上那个老人回家发现那个盒子是开着的。

8.根据He got very angry可知他生气了，因此让他们离开他家，ask sb to do sth要求某人做某事，故此处为asked。句意：他变得非常生气，要求那个妇女和她的丈夫离开他的家。

9.根据To her s__90 __, she found nothing in the box. .可知盒子里没有什么，故此处为nothing。句意：那个妇女说：“但是盒子里没有什么。”

10.
