【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了哈里斯先生和太太搬到另一座城市，他们过许多其他人家，现在他们要邀请人们来他家聚会。聚会时间是在晚上6点30至8点30。客人们玩得很开心，到了8点30分他们还没回家。当警察来说，有人抱怨他们制造噪音，他们离开了。哈里斯太太想知道是谁抱怨了，哈里斯说是他抱怨了。

1.根据谓语动词moved可知此处用一般过去时，故为changed。句意：哈里斯过去在多佛工作，但是后来他换了工作，他和妻子搬到另一座城市。

2.根据now可知介绍到现在为止已经发生的，故用现在完成时，故为have been。句意：“我们去过许多其他人的家，现在我们一定要邀请他们来我们家，好吗？”

3.根据won’t it?可知此处用一般将来时，故为will be。句意：“大聚会将会是最容易的事，不是吗？”

4.根据短语start to do sth=start doing sth“开始做某事”，故此处为to invite或inviting。句意：下个月我们可以开始小数量地邀请人们来吃晚饭。

5.根据when her husband saw可知此处表示正在做某事，结合上下文，此处表示过去进行时，故为was writing。句意：当她的丈夫看见她正在写，“聚会：晚上6点30至8点30”。

6.根据is it?可知此处是反义疑问句，后面反问用肯定形式，故此处用否定形式，故为isn’t。句意：他说，“那不是非常好，是吗？”

7.根据“Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”可知必须在8点30分离开，故此处为must go。句意：你告诉我们的客人他们一定在8点30分走。

8.根据短语stop doing sth“停止做某事”，故此处用动名词making。句意：你们必须停止制造噪音，因为有人已经抱怨了。

9.根据短语want to do sth想要做某事，故此处用动词不定式to quarrel。句意：哈里斯先生说他不想和警察争吵。

10.
