    16   it is with us.We build our   17   in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best.At   18   points we do not give the job our best effort.Then with a shock we look at the situation we have   19   and find that we are now living in the house we have built.If we had   20   that, we would have done it differently.

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

(1)

由第一句“was ready to leave”可知他还未真正退休,故这只能是他的计划(plan)。

(2)

他告诉他老板他准备离开建筑行业,和妻子过上悠闲的生活。

(3)

退休的目的是为了享受生活(enjoy time)。

(4)

退休了没有收入,当然会怀念pay(工资)。

(5)

they could get by意为“他们经济上也过得去”;get along意为“进展”;get back意为“回来”;get around意为“苏醒过来”。

(6)

当老板听说自己这么好的一个员工要离开了,当然感到很遗憾。

(7)

as a personal favor意为“作为私人的帮助”。

(8)

但实际上,很容易看出他的心根本没有放在工作上。

(9)

他做工粗糙,采用劣质材料。

(10)

由下文知,他以这样一种不幸的方式结束了他的职业生涯。

(11)

由下文老板递给他钥匙,推知房子完工了。

(12)

由文章可知,这套房子是作为礼物送给他的。

(13)

与What a shock!意义最接近的应该是What a shame!

(14)

既然是送给自己的礼物,当然是给自己建造的(his own house)房子。

(15)

如果他早知道这房子是属于他自己的,他必然会以一种不同的(differently)方式对待。

(16)

这是一种倒装句式:so it is with sth./sb.意为“对于某人或某事来说同样如此”。

(17)

由上面的一件事例(build a house),联想到人build our life。

(18)

在关键时刻(at important points)我们没有尽全力去做。

(19)

the situation we have created意为“我们造成的局面”。

(20)

recognized意为“识别出”;known意为“了解”;realized意为“认识到”;prevented意为“阻止,妨碍”。
