A young couple bought a big house from two sisters, whom bought it at low price. However, winter wasn’t far away at the time.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。講述了一對(duì)夫婦買(mǎi)了一個(gè)沒(méi)有取暖設(shè)施的房子的幽默故事。

1. 考查關(guān)系代詞。先行詞是人，關(guān)系詞在從句作主語(yǔ)，要用that或who；本句又是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，不能用that，故將whom改為who。

2. 考查冠詞。固定短語(yǔ)：at a low/high price（以一個(gè)很低/高的價(jià)格），故加a。

3. 考查形容詞。本句主語(yǔ)是The couple（這對(duì)夫婦）應(yīng)該是“這對(duì)夫婦對(duì)此是很擔(dān)心的。”，主語(yǔ)是人，所以要用形容詞worried（擔(dān)心的）作表語(yǔ)；而形容詞worrying意為“令人擔(dān)心的”，故將worrying改為worried。

4. 考查連詞。句意：這對(duì)夫婦有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心如何保持房子的溫暖，因?yàn)槟抢餂](méi)有壁爐。前后兩句應(yīng)該是因果關(guān)系，故將though改為as/because/since/for。

5. 考查形容詞。系動(dòng)詞stay（保持）要接形容詞作表語(yǔ)，故將comfortably改為comfortable。

6. 考查時(shí)態(tài)。本句說(shuō)的是過(guò)去的事情，所以此處謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，故將drops改為dropped。

7. 考查現(xiàn)在分詞。with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的cover與賓語(yǔ)frost是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以要用現(xiàn)在分詞；with frost covering the walls.的意思是“有霜覆蓋在墻上”故將covered改為covering。

8. 考查介詞。句意：最后，丈夫再也忍受不了它了。動(dòng)詞bear是及物動(dòng)詞，可以直接接賓語(yǔ)it，故將with去掉。

9. 考查代詞。上文說(shuō)“丈夫再也忍受不了它了”，所以此處是指代這個(gè)丈夫，要用代詞he。故將She改為He。

10. 考查名詞。固定結(jié)構(gòu)：one of the+復(fù)數(shù)名詞（……之一），故將sister改為sisters。
