【解析】

文章講述的是湯姆厭倦了住在鄉(xiāng)下的老房子里，想把它賣掉，再買一幢更好的。他找了個(gè)中介幫自己賣房子，結(jié)果在雜志上看到自己房子的照片，突然意識(shí)到那正是他想住一輩子的房子。方框中所給的5個(gè)單詞，有3個(gè)形容詞：attractive吸引人的；有魅力的；引人注目的；successful成功的；exciting令人興奮的；使人激動(dòng)的。有1個(gè)名詞：description描述；描寫。decided既是動(dòng)詞decide（決定）的一般過去式，又是過去分詞。

【1】句意：他試著賣了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，但沒有成功。

分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知， but it was not+形容詞作表語。備選的形容詞有3個(gè)：attractive、successful、exciting。再根據(jù)but是轉(zhuǎn)折連詞，意為但是。but it was not successful（但沒有成功）符合語境，故填successful。

【2】句意：經(jīng)紀(jì)人很快為他的房子做了廣告，幾天后，湯姆在一本昂貴的雜志上看到了一張他的房子的非常吸引人的照片。

關(guān)鍵詞photograph是名詞，意為照片，需要用形容詞來修飾。attractive形容詞，吸引人的，a very attractive photograph（一張非常吸引人的照片）符合語境，故填attractive。

【3】句意：上面有對(duì)花園的精彩描述。

分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，a wonderful +名詞的單數(shù)形式。description名詞，描述；描寫。a wonderful description（精彩的描述）符合語境，故填description。

【4】句意：對(duì)不起，瓊斯先生，我已經(jīng)決定不賣房子了。

分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，I’ve=I have后面接動(dòng)詞的過去分詞構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。decided既是動(dòng)詞decide的過去分詞，I’ve decided…（我已經(jīng)決定……）符合語境，故填decided。

做這種題的關(guān)鍵是把方框里單詞的詞性一定要區(qū)分清楚。如3小題，a wonderful +名詞的單數(shù)形式。方框中的名詞只有description，故填description。再如5小題，I’ve后接動(dòng)詞的過去分詞，構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，方框中的過去分詞只有decided，故填decided。
