题目内容
|
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。 |
