【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：路易斯和格落里亚夫妇住在漂亮的公寓里，但是公寓不够大。他们需要一套至少有三个卧室的房子，而且要有一个供孩子们玩耍的庭院。他们看了几套房子，太贵了，他们生意不好。他们在找便宜的。昨天他们看了四套房子，其中三套不错，但是他们买不起喜欢的一套，他们不喜欢买得起的那套。他们找房子找累了，决定买下那套旧的房子然后修一下。路易斯擅长粉刷，朋友们可以帮忙修补。孩子们会高兴地在自己的房子里高声吵闹。

【1】have looked 句意：目前他们看了几套要卖的房子。副词so far强调到目前为止的结果，用现在完成时态，故填：have looked。

【2】are searching句意：那就是他们在找一套花钱不多的房子的原因。最近他们一直在找，表示近段时间一直在做的动作，用现在进行时态，故填：are searching。

【3】were句意：昨天他们看了四套房子，其中三套不错。表示过去的状态，用一般过去时态，故填：were。

【4】haven’t found句意：我知道我们没有找到便宜的房子。强调“没有找到”这个结果，强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，用现在完成时态，故填：haven’t found。

【5】is repaired句意：房子修补了会看上去漂亮。when引出的时间状语从句，主句是一般将来时态时，从句用一般现在时表将来。主语it（指房子the house）是谓语repair的承受者，用被动语态。故填：is repaired。

【6】to have句意：孩子们拥有自己的可以大声吵闹的房子会很高兴。做某事高兴：be happy to do sth。故填：to have。
