【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了大卫的叔叔死后，给他留下了很多钱，所以他决定创建一个公司。当修电话的进来时，他以为是买房子的大客户，所以他假装打电话，结果那个人就是来修电话的。

1.细节理解题。children 由left Dave a lot of money 可知，David的叔叔没有自己的孩子。

2.细节理解题。set up 指“创办”公司。

3.细节理解题。bought 由前面的found和后面的and moved可知，三个动词是并列的，即A，B and C。

4.细节理解题。towards 由heard someone coming 可知，是“朝着”他的办公司走过来，较表示“到达”的to要好。

5.细节理解题。the 特指他办公室的那部电话。

6.细节理解题。answering 表示“接”电话，习惯上用answer，因be busy doing可知，用answering。

7.细节理解题。who 定语从句，先行词是人someone，且在定语从句中作主语，用who。

8.细节理解题。while 由后面的waited可知，进来时David还在打电话，所以用while。

9.细节理解题。politely 修饰动词waited用副词，在形容词后加ly。

10.细节理解题。was sent因send与I是被动关系，且是到此之前领导派我来的。
