上海市英语高考模拟试卷(四）

II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

It’s coming from inside the house

As someone who’s been remodeling homes for about 20 years, I can tell you it’s not a predictable 9-to-5. When you start tearing down walls, you never know what you (21)_______(find).

I’ve seen total electrical chaos ('混乱)where people joined together wires and just wrapped it

all up in insulating(绝缘的)tape, popped it behind some drywall，and clearly forgot about it.

(22) _______ handling that kind of wiring is obviously dangerous, the scariest part is not knowing how much more is still hiding. You’re going: “Is there any of it that we’re not going to find? Because we’re not tearing down every wall.” You don’t want to leave a newly (23) _______ (remodel) home with fire threats.

And creative plumbing might not be as likely to bum your house down, but it can still be a huge pain. Once I tore through a wall in an old house and found a 4-inch pipe running through the

middle of it (24) _______made absolutely no sense; it wasn’t going to or (25) _______a bathroom. And you have to figure out (26) _______you’re going to do with that. Can you somehow just leave it alone and build around it, or do you need to spend three days (27) _______ (try) to get it out?

Then there are the issues that don’t have (28) _______to do with hard-ware. In remodeling. there’s always decay. You’re constantly dealing with disgusting things. I’ve found dead animals— and live animals, which is even scarier. This job takes a strong stomach.

Oddly enough, it’s actually kind of good news when a place (29) _______ (smell) unpleasant because of a dead animal. It tends (30) (keep) the price down, but if you power through and clean things up, that temporary unpleasant smell isn’t going to impact the house's long-term value. So I always say, the stinker (臭) the better. At least that's something you can easily fix.
