【解析】

试题分析：

1. from。

2. box，从句为 “she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about”，从句缺少宾语，故引导词在从句中充当宾语，由于先行词为表示物的名词，故引导词可以用 that 也可以用 which。故正确答案为 that/which。

3.the 考查冠词。此处特指上文提到的“the woman”，故用the。

4.brought 考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“took down”可知，此处为一般过去时，所以用brought。

5.what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导宾语从句，作know的宾语，且从句中缺少主语，故用what。

6.Opening 考查非谓语动词。open与其逻辑主语he构成逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用Opening。

7.marriage 考查名词。根据语境和句子成分可知，该空应用marry的名词形式marriage。

8.if/when 考查连词。根据语境可知，此处引导状语从句，所以用if或者when。

9.moved 考查非谓语动词。丈夫被感动了，所以用moved表示“使感动”。

10. 考查代词。them在此处指代上文提到的mats。
