完形填空

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

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

  When the carpenter finished his work and the boss came to   10   the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter.“This is your house,” he said, “my   11   to you.”

  What a shame! If he had   12   known 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   15   than the best.At important points we do not give the job our best   16  .Then with 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 the choices of today.

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

(1)

考查動詞。根據(jù)第一句…was ready to retire可知這里是指向老板提出想離開造房這一行業(yè)了。

(2)

難?疾閯釉~。extended family是一個習(xí)語,意思是“大家庭”,而intended意思是“打算,計(jì)劃”,trended“傾向,照顧”,attended“出席”都屬于拼寫類似而構(gòu)成干擾,但事實(shí)上意義相差甚遠(yuǎn)。

(3)

考查名詞。這里是指“他會思念他的收入(舍不得他的收入)……”,paycheck意思是“收入”符合句意。

(4)

考查動詞。雖然舍不得收入,但還是想退休,可根據(jù)第1段首句An elderly carpenter was ready to retire可推測出木匠想退休。

(5)

考查形容詞。根據(jù)上句The boss was sorry…可知他認(rèn)為這是一個很優(yōu)秀的木匠,失去他感到遺憾,故選擇good。

(6)

考查形容詞。這里是指老板希望木匠能幫他再建一所房,用one more house表示,符合這一結(jié)構(gòu)的用法。

(7)

難。考查介詞。這里意思是“過了一段時間,很容易看出木匠的心思不在建房上”,in time可表示“過了一段時間,及時,遲早”等意思,at time沒有單獨(dú)這一用法,at one time“一次”,at a time“每次,逐次”也都不符合句意。

(8)

考查副詞。根據(jù)上下文不難發(fā)現(xiàn)他的心思沒有放在建房上,故選擇not。

(9)

考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文可知他以這樣的方式結(jié)束自己的事業(yè)是不走運(yùn)的(因?yàn)槔习逡阉ǖ倪@最后一套房送給他)。

(10)

考查動詞。房子建好了,老板自然要來驗(yàn)收檢查,inspect可表示“檢閱,驗(yàn)收”之意,為最佳答案。

(11)

考查名詞。根據(jù)上句“This is your house,”可知這是老板送給木匠的一個禮物,因此選擇gift。

(12)

難?疾楦痹~。這里是一種虛擬語氣的用法:If sb had only done sth,…would have done….用來表示“要是……,就會……”的意思,因此根據(jù)這一結(jié)構(gòu)的要求,只能選擇only。

(13)

難?疾楦痹~。none too與一個形容詞或副詞連用是一個詞組,意思是“一點(diǎn)也不;絕不”,這里意思是“他只好住在建得一點(diǎn)都不好的房子里面”。

(14)

難。考查介詞。這里是考查一個固定句型:So it is with…sb/sth,意思是“某人/物也是如此”,只有選擇with才符合結(jié)構(gòu)的需要。

(15)

難。考查形容詞。這里意思是“只想做得更少而不想做得最好”,根據(jù)意思選擇less為最佳選項(xiàng),more含義相反,fewer修飾可數(shù)名詞,但這里后面名詞不明確,other“其余的”含義也不對。

(16)

難?疾槊~。這里意思是“遇到關(guān)鍵時刻,我們都不付出最大的努力”,應(yīng)該選擇effort“努力”才符合句意,effect“結(jié)果”,infection“反應(yīng),感染”,impression“印象”都是由于構(gòu)詞或讀音相近容易造成干擾。

(17)

難?疾槊~。這里意思是“然后我們陷入一個我們自己制造的困境中,住進(jìn)了自己建的‘房子’中”,situation“形勢,局勢,境況”符合句子意思,condition“條件,狀態(tài)”,state“狀態(tài)”,position“位置”都不符合句意。

(18)

考查動詞。接著上一句的意思“……發(fā)現(xiàn)我們住進(jìn)了自己修建的‘房子’中”。

(19)

考查動詞。房子當(dāng)然是修建的,選擇built表示“修建”。

(20)

  解析:考查副詞。根據(jù)第4段…h(huán)e would have done it all so differently可推測出這里也可使用differently,表示“如果我們當(dāng)時意識到了,我們就會做得完全不一樣了”。

  文章大意:一個老木匠跟他老板說他想退休了,老板因?yàn)槭チ诉@么好的一個木匠而感到惋惜。于是想送給木匠一個禮物——一套房子,但事先沒有告訴他,而只是請他作為個人幫忙幫他造最后一套房,木匠同意了。但由于沒有心思再工作,用了劣質(zhì)的勞動力和劣質(zhì)的材料造起了房屋,當(dāng)最后老板把房屋的鑰匙交在他手上時,他是何等的后悔!

  Some countries,such as Japan,have a large number of earth quakes.Earthquakes happen very  1 and violently(強(qiáng)烈地).During an earthquake,there is often a great  2 first.Then the earth  3 terribly,many houses  4 ,railway tracks break and trains run  5 lines,a great many factories are  6 ,thousands of deaths are caused,and many more lose homes  7 the great damage and deaths caused by the earthquake  8 ,other disasters such as fires often  9 ,more buildings destroyed and more  10 caused.

  It is well known of the  11 of a possible earthquake,and for centuries man has been making researches(研究) on earthquakes.More than 2000 years ago,  12 ,a Chinese scientist named Zhang Heng  13 a machine which could detect(發(fā)覺) earthquakes,and this machine is still  14 by scientists today to detect and measure the  15 of earthquakes.Now we know much more about earthquakes and  16 they happen,but we still  17 tell exactly when and where an earthquake will happen,  18 cannot stop it from happening.So earthquakes are  19 the worst disasters(災(zāi)難)in the world.

  No one can stop  20 earthquakes.However,scientists can  21 stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths.In those  22 where earthquakes often happen,they  23 mountain temperatures and take  24 from the air and if anything starts to happen ,they warn governments to be prepared for  25 disasters so that emergency(緊急) plans are put into action to lessen(減少) the disaster,probably saving many lives.
