【解析】

文章大意：本文主要讲述了布朗一家是史密斯一家的邻居，布朗先生的名字是约翰，但是当他的邻居说起他，他们都叫他“将去做先生”。你知道为什么吗？因为布朗先生总是说他要做某事，但他从来没有做过。

1.句意：布朗一家是史密斯一家的邻居。

根据“The Browns are __1__ (冠词)Smiths' neighbours(邻居). ”the Smiths史密斯一家，这里修饰neighbor用名词所有格，故答案为the。

2.句意：布朗先生总是说他要做某事，但他从来没有做过。

根据“Mr Brown always __2__(say) he is going to do something, but he never does it. ”由句中的always可知句子时态用一般现在时，主语Mr Brown是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词say也要用第三人称单数形式，故答案为says。

3.句意：每个星期六布朗先生都要去斯密斯家的后门，跟斯密斯先生交谈．

根据“Every Saturday Mr Brown goes to the Smiths' back door and __3__(talk)to Mr Smith.由every Saturday”可知，本句的时态为一般现在时。主语为Brown，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，and连接连个并列成分，这里和前面的goes是并列成分，talk to sb.与某人交谈，故答案为talks。

4.句意：我房子前面的这些树太大了。

根据“__4__(this) trees in front of my house __5__(be) too big. ”可知句意为：我房子前面的这些树太大了。trees为复数，所以用this的复数these修饰，又因其位于句首，首字母要大写，故答案为These。

5.句意：我房子前面的这些树太大了。

根据“__4__(this) trees in front of my house __5__(be) too big. ”可知句意为：我房子前面的这些树太大了。主语trees为复数，所以这里的系动词be用复数are，故答案为are。

6.句意：他知道他的邻居不会打扫他的房子。

根据“He knows his neighbour is not going to __6__(clean) his house, ”可知此处考查be going to do sth，意为“将要做某事”，故答案为clean。

7.句意：他知道他的邻居不会打扫他的房子，不会洗车，也不会砍树。

some一些，一般用于肯定句，根据题干可知，本句为否定句，所以应用any，any一般用于否定句或疑问句，故答案为any。

8.句意：我要在家里干点活，然后他离开了。

根据下文And he leaves.结合“I'm going to do some __8__ (work)in the house. ”可知句意为：我要在家里干点活，然后他离开了。do some work干点活儿、做一些工作，故答案为work。

9.句意：史密斯夫妇经常对他们唯一的孩子迪克说。

根据“Mr and Mrs Smith often say to__9__(they) only child Dick, ”可知设空处修饰后面的名词child，所以用they的形容词性物主代词their作定语，故答案为their。

10.句意：不要像‘将去先生’那样。

根据上文“Are you going to do something? Then do it. Don't be like ‘Mr Going­to­do'.” “你打算做点什么吗?”然后去做。结合Don't be __10__(介词)‘Mr Going­to­do'.可知句意为：不要像‘将去做先生”那样。like像…一样，介词，故答案为like。
