  An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.He told his boss of his plan to   1   the house business and live an easier life with his   2   enjoying his extended family,   3   their grandchildren.He would miss the paycheck, but he really needed to   4  

  The boss was sorry to see his   5   worker go and asked if he could build one more house as a personal   6  .The carpenter agreed, but   7   it was easy to see that his heart was   8   in his work.He   9   poor workmanship and used bad materials.It was a(n)  10   way to end his career.

  When the carpenter finished his work and the boss came to inspect the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter.“You always do your work well.This is   11   house,” he said, “my gift to you.”

  What a shame! If he   12   he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.Now he has to live in the home he had built none too   13  

  So it is   14   us.We build our lives in an absent minded way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best.At important points we do not give the job our best   15  .Then   16   a shame we fall into the   17   we have created and   18   that we are now living in the “house” we have   19  .If we had realized it, we should have done it   20  

  Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices of today.

答案:1.B;2.B;3.C;4.A;5.D;6.C;7.A;8.B;9.B;10.B;11.B;12.D;13.B;14.D;15.C;16.B;17.A;18.B;19.D;20.A;
解析:

(1)

本段开头部分提到他打算退休,由此可推测他想“离开”建筑行业。A、C两项意思基本相同,可排除;D项不符合语境。

(2)

结合本句后面的“his extended family”和“their grandchildren”可知他想和自己的“妻子”共度余生,和家人共享天伦之乐。

(3)

他打算退休后“照顾”自己的孙辈。假如选择A项,要在后面加上of;B项表示“帮助”;D项表示“寻找”,都不符合语境。

(4)

虽然他将失去报酬,可他真的需要“退休”。此处与开头部分相呼应。

(5)

老板看到自己的“优秀”员工要离开,心中很难过。第46个空格处前面的“You always do your work well.”也是暗示。其余选项都与句中的sorry在逻辑关系上不太合理。

(6)

老板问老人是否可以再建造一座房屋,权当是“帮忙”。下文提到的是老板把房子送给了老人,而不是老人把房子作为礼物送给老板,所以B项不正确;A项表示“爱好;兴趣”,D项表示“事件;事务”,语意不恰当。

(7)

此处in time表示“经过一段时间之后”。后三项分别表示“有时”“曾经”“按时”,都不符合所给语境。

(8)

随着时间的流逝,很容易发现老人此时的心思已经“不”在工作上。其余三项与下一句不符。

(9)

他在建筑过程中“使用”的手艺很差,而且使用劣质材料。其余三项与后面的宾语workmanship搭配后不符合语境。

(10)

老人用心不在焉的方式结束自己的工作生涯很“不幸”。文章所要强调的是老人不应该这么做,而不是容易与困难的事情,因此后两项不恰当。

(11)

上一句提到老板把前门的钥匙递给了老木匠,再结合本段的最后可判断此项正确。

(12)

根据后半句中的would have done可知是对过去情况的虚拟,所以从句用过去完成时。

(13)

假如他当初知道是在给自己建造房子,就会采用完全不同的方式,而不是疲于应付。如今,他不得不住在自己亲手建造的不“好”的房子中。

(14)

so it is with是固定结构,表示“……也如此”。

(15)

我们也是如此,像上文提到的老人一样,在关键时刻没有尽最大“努力”。B项表示“传染”,显然不正确。

(16)

句中with表示“带有”,即我们十分遗憾地跌进自己创造的困境中。

(17)

此处的situation可理解为“境况”。(that/which)we have created是定语从句,修饰这一先行词。后三项与前面的fall into搭配后与语境不符。

(18)

这是人们陷入困境后的“发现”。上文提到老人接到钥匙后才发现自己当时太糊涂,此处与上文相呼应。

(19)

句中的house加上了双引号,由此可见是比喻意义,比喻我们目前的境况,再结合上文提到的老人“建造”房子的事情可判断此项正确。

(20)

  [解析]假如我们当初意识到这一点,就应当会做得“尽善尽美”。上文提到老人因为没有把房子建造好而后悔,此处与上文相呼应。

  [文章大意]一个老木匠打算退休,应老板的请求又勉强建造了最后一座房子,可此时的老人已经心不在焉,房子的质量可想而知。当老板把钥匙交给老人时,老人后悔不迭,可也只能吞下自己亲手栽种的苦果。
