试题分析：本文讲述了一对夫妇婚后，妻为了避免争吵，每当她对丈夫生气的时候就做一个垫子的故事。

【1】本题考查动词词组。根据句子意思“彼此之间没有任何秘密”，keep...from...有“隐瞒”的意思，符合题意，故正确答案为 from。

【2】本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知先行词为 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】本题考查冠词。由于 woman 是上文出现过的，所以这里是特指，故用定冠词 the。故正确答案为 the。

【4】本题考查动词时态。因为 and 前的动词词组为 “took down the box”，用的是过去式，所以 and 后面的动词也应该用过去式，bring 的过去式为 brought，故正确答案为 brought。

【5】本题考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，“_____ was in the box” 这一分句作 know 的宾语，从句中缺少主语，从句意为“盒子里是什么”，所以引导词应该用 what，故正确答案为 what。

【6】本题考查现在分词作伴随状语。分析句子结构可知，主语 he 和 谓语 open 是主动结构，所以 open 应该用现在分词形式表伴随，表示“一打开盒子”，故正确答案为 opening。

【7】marry 为动词，意为“结婚”，根据句子可知 happy 形容词应该修饰名词，故横线处应该填 marry 的名词形式“婚姻”，即 marriage，故正确答案为 marriage。

【8】本题考查句子分析。分析句子可知上文 “I should just keep quiet and make a mat”（我应该保持安静做一个垫子），下文 “I got angry with you”（我对你感到生气），两个分句可以构成一个条件状语从句或者时间状语从句。当是条件状语从句时可以为 if，当为时间状语从句时可以是 when 或者 whenever，故正确答案为 whenever/when/if。

【9】move 为动词，意为“感动”，分析句子可知横线处应该填形容词，构成 “so + adj. + that...” 句型，由于 the woman 与 move 之间是动宾关系，所以应该用过去分词，moved 意为“感动的”，本题容易误填 moving，但是 moving 表示的是“令人感动的”的意思，故不符合题意。故正确答案为 moved。

【10】分析句子可知，这些钱是卖桌垫得来的，上文中已经出现过 mat，且不可能只是一个 mat，应该卖了很多个，故可以用 them 指代，故正确答案为 them。
