I couldn't believe my eye when I opened the front door．Everything was in a terrible mess：the books were lying on the floor but the drawers were open．Realised that my house had been broken into，I telephoned the police at once．They had told me to keep calm and not to touch anything．Then I decided take a look around at what had been stolen．The TV was still there and so did the computers．Everything in my bedroom seemed to be complete untouched．I was confused as nothing was missing．Suddenly，there was a knock to the door and my sister was standing there with his naughty boy．Oh，I could guess which had happened．

分析 本文讲述了作者回家发现家里一团糟，以为进了小偷便打电话报了警，然而作者却发现家里的东西都没有丢，原来是姐姐带着淘气的儿子来家里了．

解答 I couldn't believe my eye when I opened the front door．Everything was in a terrible mess：the books were lying on the floor but the drawers were open．Realised that my house had been broken into，I telephoned the police at once．They had told me to keep calm and not to touch anything．Then I decided∧take a look around at what had been stolen．The TV was still there and so did the computers．Everything in my bedroom seemed to be complete untouched．I was confused as nothing was missing．Suddenly，there was a knock to the door and my sister was standing there with his naughty boy．Oh，I could guess which had happened．
详解：
1．eye改为eyes；考查名词单复数，根据句意"我不能相信我的眼睛"可知此处要用复数形式eyes．
2．but改为and；考查连词，结合语境分析此处上下文之间是并列关系，而非转折，故用and．
3．realised改为realising；考查分词作状语，主语I与动词realise是主谓关系，故用现在分词形式作状语．
4．去掉had；考查动词的时态，这里陈述过去的一个事实情况，要用一般过去时．
5．decided后面加to；考查动词的不定式，decide to do 是固定搭配，意为"决定做某事"．
6．did改为were；考查并列成分，这是一个and连接的并列结构，前面用的是系动词was，所以后面也要用系动词，主语为computers，故用复数were，这里是倒装句．
7．complete改为completely；考查副词，此处用副词作状语修饰untouched．
8．to改为at；考查介词，knock at the door是固定搭配，意为"敲门"．
9．his改为her；考查形容词性物主代词，此处的物主代词应与前面的my sister保持一致，故用her．
10．which改为what；考查名词性从句，这是宾语从句，这里用疑问代词what在从句中作主语．

点评 首先要通读全文，了解大意，抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，仔细分析带空格的句子，明确空格所要填的词义，词型和短语搭配，给出所要填的正确形式，然后整体阅读短文，核对答案．
