The employer was5to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes,6over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad workmanship and7materials. It was an unfortunate way to8 a dedicated(獻(xiàn)身的)career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to9the house. Then he handed the front-door10to the carpenter and said, “This is your house... my11to you.”
The carpenter was shocked!
What a12! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

But, you cannot 16 . You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or build a wall. Someone 17said, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your 18 , and the choices you 19 today, help build the “house” you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build 20!

【解析】
(1) 根據(jù)上文的retire可知,他想離開自己的工作,故選C項leave。
(2)leisurely悠閑的,慢悠悠的;lonely孤獨的;orderly有秩序的,有條理的;friendly友好的。根據(jù)常識可知,人們退休了以后,生活常是悠閑的,故選A項。
(3) 退休了以后,老人可以更好的享受家庭的樂趣,選C項enjoy最佳。
(4)go off開火、爆炸,(電燈等)熄滅;get by維持生計,設(shè)法過活;pass on轉(zhuǎn)交,遞給;work away連續(xù)不停地工作。根據(jù)前面的extended family和miss the paycheck可推知,老人生活上悠閑,但沒有了工資,生活可能不如以前寬松,但他們能設(shè)法維持,故選B項。
(5)根據(jù)上文retire和下文的his good worker,作為老板,自己的好員工要走了,自然惋惜,故選D項sorry是符合情理的。
(6)從下文得知,老木匠的最后一座房子造的很不好,是因為他不用心。所以此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折,選A項but,意為“他雖然答應(yīng)了,但并不用心工作”。注意while是并列連詞,表示前后對比,而非轉(zhuǎn)折。
(7)根據(jù)前文的bad workmanship和下文可知,老木匠用的建筑材料是劣質(zhì)的,故inferior正確。
(8)根據(jù)前文的retire、go和asked if he could build just one more house可知,這是老木匠為老板建造的最后一座房子,是他一生事業(yè)的結(jié)束,故選D.
(9)作為老板,自己讓人建設(shè)的房子完工了,自然來查看一下。下文也提到他并非來購買、出售或修理房子,排除了其他選項。
(10)從下文的If he had only known he was building his own house可以看出,老板把剛剛建設(shè)的房子作為禮物(gift)送給了老木匠,應(yīng)該給他房門鑰匙,故選A
(11)根據(jù)上下文可知,這是老板給老木匠的禮物,以表示感謝。
(12)根據(jù)上文的shock和下句If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently可知,老木匠為自己做的蠢事感到羞恥、后悔,故選B項shame正確。
(13)“So it is with sb.”是一常見句型,意為“……也如此”。注意此題易錯選as,誤認(rèn)為是定語從句。As可以引導(dǎo)定語從句,但注意是此句末的標(biāo)點是句號,因此缺少先行詞,無法構(gòu)成定語從句。其他兩選項意思、結(jié)構(gòu)均不正確。
(14)根據(jù)文意,作者在向我們闡述一個道理,我們的生活也象老木匠建房子一樣,沒有投入全身心,即用的努力少(less),故選D。
(15)根據(jù)上下文,開始我們沒有覺察,但后來當(dāng)我們認(rèn)識到自己的愚蠢行為時,為時已晚。所以,此處選擇realize是正確的。
(16)根據(jù)上文If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.和But可知,我們雖認(rèn)識到錯誤,但有些事情是無法重新再做一遍的。Step forward自告奮勇;go back回到、重新再來;come out(太陽、星星……)出現(xiàn);look around環(huán)視、環(huán)顧。四個詞組中只有g(shù)o back有此意。
(17)根據(jù)下文可知,作者在引用某人(曾經(jīng)說過)的話,所以用副詞once最合適。其他選項與文意不符。
(18) 根據(jù)上文,老木匠既有經(jīng)驗,技藝也高超,但態(tài)度不端正犯了大錯。因此,一個人做事的態(tài)度決定結(jié)果,故選attitude是正確的。
(19)Make a choice/ choices是常見的搭配,意為“作出選擇”。
(20)根據(jù)最后一段和上文中的therefore可知,作者是在告戒讀者:我們既然明白了這個道理,“建造自己的房子時”就明智些吧!所以wisely正確。

【題目】Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for traveling on trains that are less busy, offering good value for money. The tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route. Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a journey, the cheaper fare is called Super Off-Peak.

You can buy Off-Peak tickets any time before you travel, either online or at a local station. The travel restrictions for your Off-Peak ticket will depend on the journey you are making. The tickets must be used on the date shown on the ticket. For Off-Peak return tickets, related journeys must be made on the date shown on your ticket as well.

Children aged five to fifteen get a 50% discount for all Off-Peak fares. Up to 2 children under 5 years can travel free with each fare paying adult. Railcard holders get l/3 off all Standard Class Off-Peak fares. Senior, and disabled Railcard holders also get l/3 off all First Class Off Peak fares. Please note that minimum fares and time restrictions may apply to tickets bought with a Railcard.

If you plan on a train trip with friends or your family, you may get group travel discounts. Three or four can travel for the price of just two adults-leaving everyone more money to spend on the day out! If you are traveling in a group of ten or more at Off-Peak times, you may be able to obtain a further discount through the train company you are traveling with. Contact the train company directly and be aware that you may need to book tickets in advance.

【題目】Under new rules posted by the Civil Aviation (航空) administration of China on Friday, pilots will have to pass a “l(fā)evel four” test of Mandarin Chinese, China’s official language. Those who speak with an accent that “often impedes” comprehension will not pass. These rules take effect in January 2016.

China’s 56 ethnic groups speak more than 80 languages and dialects. Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other depending on the strength of their accents, which can be mutually unintelligible (難理解的).

One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion, especially when common English aviation terms are used. Asked if there is a problem on board, a Chinese pilot might answer in the negative with the words mei you, or “there isn’t.” But someone speaking with a heavy Sichuan accent would pronounce mei you as “May day” unconsciously parroting the universally recognized distress call (遇難信號).

Like their international counterparts (對應(yīng)物), Chinese aviators have developed codes to avoid confusion resulting from homonyms (同音異義字) or near-homonyms. They use the terms yao for one and guai for seven, which are otherwise pronounced yi and qi respectively and easily confused.

The new rule could affect all pilots, who must renew their license every six years, and adds to a growing list of burdens for the profession.

1What does the underlined word “impedes” in Para 1 mean?

A. improves B. helps

C. misleads D. limits

2Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Sichuan dialect has the contrary meaning to Mandarin.

B. Native Mandarin speakers can understand each other well.

C. It isn’t necessary for a pilot to pass the test before January 2016.

D. “May day” is a distress call in our everyday life.

3What is the purpose of the Chinese aviators using the terms yao for one and guai for seven?

A. To avoid misunderstanding.

B. To communicate with their international counterparts.

C. To pass the test.

D. To avoid their accents.

4What is the best title for the passage?

A. Chinese Pilots Told to Get Rid of Regional Accents

B. Chinese Pilots

C. Rich Chinese Languages

D. Hard to Be a Chinese Pilot

Weather influences health, intelligence and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
For example, in a recent report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year.
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. Generally speaking, at about 18℃, people become stronger and better.
