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．

解析：

(1)	考查动词。根据第一句…was ready to retire可知这里是指向老板提出想离开造房这一行业了。
(2)	难。考查动词。extended family是一个习语，意思是“大家庭”，而intended意思是“打算，计划”，trended“倾向，照顾”，attended“出席”都属于拼写类似而构成干扰，但事实上意义相差甚远。
(3)	考查名词。这里是指“他会思念他的收入(舍不得他的收入)……”，paycheck意思是“收入”符合句意。
(4)	考查动词。虽然舍不得收入，但还是想退休，可根据第1段首句An elderly carpenter was ready to retire可推测出木匠想退休。
(5)	考查形容词。根据上句The boss was sorry…可知他认为这是一个很优秀的木匠，失去他感到遗憾，故选择good。
(6)	考查形容词。这里是指老板希望木匠能帮他再建一所房，用one more house表示，符合这一结构的用法。
(7)	难。考查介词。这里意思是“过了一段时间，很容易看出木匠的心思不在建房上”，in time可表示“过了一段时间，及时，迟早”等意思，at time没有单独这一用法，at one time“一次”，at a time“每次，逐次”也都不符合句意。
(8)	考查副词。根据上下文不难发现他的心思没有放在建房上，故选择not。
(9)	考查形容词。根据下文可知他以这样的方式结束自己的事业是不走运的(因为老板要把他建的这最后一套房送给他)。
(10)	考查动词。房子建好了，老板自然要来验收检查，inspect可表示“检阅，验收”之意，为最佳答案。
(11)	考查名词。根据上句“This is your house，”可知这是老板送给木匠的一个礼物，因此选择gift。
(12)	难。考查副词。这里是一种虚拟语气的用法：If sb had only done sth,…would have done…．用来表示“要是……，就会……”的意思，因此根据这一结构的要求，只能选择only。
(13)	难。考查副词。none too与一个形容词或副词连用是一个词组，意思是“一点也不；绝不”，这里意思是“他只好住在建得一点都不好的房子里面”。
(14)	难。考查介词。这里是考查一个固定句型：So it is with…sb/sth，意思是“某人/物也是如此”，只有选择with才符合结构的需要。
(15)	难。考查形容词。这里意思是“只想做得更少而不想做得最好”，根据意思选择less为最佳选项，more含义相反，fewer修饰可数名词，但这里后面名词不明确，other“其余的”含义也不对。
(16)	难。考查名词。这里意思是“遇到关键时刻，我们都不付出最大的努力”，应该选择effort“努力”才符合句意，effect“结果”，infection“反应，感染”，impression“印象”都是由于构词或读音相近容易造成干扰。
(17)	难。考查名词。这里意思是“然后我们陷入一个我们自己制造的困境中，住进了自己建的‘房子’中”，situation“形势，局势，境况”符合句子意思，condition“条件，状态”，state“状态”，position“位置”都不符合句意。
(18)	考查动词。接着上一句的意思“……发现我们住进了自己修建的‘房子’中”。
(19)	考查动词。房子当然是修建的，选择built表示“修建”。
(20)	解析：考查副词。根据第4段…he would have done it all so differently可推测出这里也可使用differently，表示“如果我们当时意识到了，我们就会做得完全不一样了”。　　文章大意：一个老木匠跟他老板说他想退休了，老板因为失去了这么好的一个木匠而感到惋惜。于是想送给木匠一个礼物——一套房子，但事先没有告诉他，而只是请他作为个人帮忙帮他造最后一套房，木匠同意了。但由于没有心思再工作，用了劣质的劳动力和劣质的材料造起了房屋，当最后老板把房屋的钥匙交在他手上时，他是何等的后悔!
