So great is our passion for doing things for ourselves that we are being increasingly less dependent on specialized labour.No one can plead ignorance(对。。。无知) of a subject any longer, for there are countless do-it-yourself publications.Armed with the right tools and materials, newlyweds(新婚的人) gaily get down to the task of decorating their own homes.Men, particularly, spend hours of their leisure time installing their own fireplaces, laying out their own gardens; building garages and making furniture.But unfortunately not all of us are born handymen.    Some wives tend to believe that their husbands are extremely resourceful and can fix anything.Even men who can hardly drive a nail in straight are supposed to be born electricians, carpenters, plumbers and mechanics.When lights fuse, furniture gets rickety(快要散架的), pipes get blocked, or vacuum cleaners fail to operate, some woman think that their husbands will somehow put things right.The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game is that sometimes even men live under the delusion(错觉) that they can do anything, even when they have repeatedly been proved wrong.It is a question of pride as much as anything else.    Last spring my wife suggested that I call in a man to look at our lawn mower.It had broken down the previous summer, and though I promised to repair it, I had never got round to it.I would not hear of the suggestion and said that I would fix it myself.One Saturday afternoon, I dragged the machine into the garden and had a close look at it.As far as I could see, it needed only a minor adjustment: a turn of a screw here, a little tightening up there, a drop of oil and it would be as good as new.Actually the repair job was not quite so successful.The mower firmly refused to mow, so I decided to take it apart.And I was extremely pleased with myself.I had found the cause of the trouble.One of links in the chain that drives the wheels had broken.After buying a new chain I was faced with the tough task of putting the confusing jigsaw puzzle together again.I was not surprised to find that the machine still refused to work after I had reassembled it, for the simple reason that I was left with several curiously shaped bits of metal which did not seem to fit anywhere.I gave up in despair.The weeks passed and the grass grew.When my wife urged me to do something about it, I told her that either I would have to buy a new mower or let the grass grow.Needless to say our house is now surrounded by a jungle(丛林).Buried somewhere in deep grass there is a rusting lawn mower which I have promised to repair one day.

答案及解析：

2.62. B   63. C   64. D   65. A

【文章大意】文章介绍现在很多人喜欢自己动手做一些手工活，但是作者通过自己的经历告诉读者不是每个人都是天生的电工、木匠、水管工和机械师。

【试题解析】62.细节理解题：根据第二段的句子：Even men who can hardly drive a nail in straight are supposed to be born electricians, carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. 妻子常常认为她们的丈夫无比聪明能干。甚至那些连一枚钉 子都钉不直的男人都被认为是天生的电工、木匠、水管工和机械师。所以选B。

63.细节理解题：根据第三段的句子：Last spring my wife suggested that I call in a man to look at our lawn mower.It had broken down the previous summer, and though I promised to repair it, I had never got round to it. 今年春天，妻子让我请人检查一下我家的割草机。那台割草机去年夏 天就坏了，尽管我答应修，但一直没抽出时间。说明如果不找人来修，可能这台割草机会修不好，草就一直没有办法割，所以选C。

64.细节理解题：根据第三段的句子：Actually the repair job was not quite so successful.The mower firmly refused to mow, so I decided to take it apart可知因为没有修好，所以作者决定将割草机拆掉，所以选D。

65.推理判断题：根据第三段的句子：When my wife urged me to do something about it, I told her that either I would have to buy a new mower or let the grass grow.Needless to say our house is now surrounded by a jungle(丛林).可知作者家被丛林包围因为作者的妻子拒绝买一个新的割草机，所以选A。

【长难句解析】

1. The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game is that sometimes even men live under the delusion(错觉) that they can do anything, even when they have repeatedly been proved wrong.

【翻译】自己动手的例子中最糟糕的是，有时甚至是男人尽管接连失败却还误以为自己什么都行。

【分析】这句话主语是The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game，后面是系表结构，用that引导表语从句，表语从句中使用that连接的同位语从句，说明delusion的内容，when引导时间状语从句、。

2. Buried somewhere in deep grass there is a rusting lawn mower which I have promised to repair one day.

【翻译】深草丛中的某 个地方有一台正在生锈的割草机，那就是我曾答应某日要修理的割草 机。

【分析】这句话使用了完全倒装句，过去分词buried…提前，主语是a rusting lawn mower ，后面是which引导的定语从句。

At the end of the term, Rose was invited to give us a speech.

Then, you need to have a dream. 53 Next, find any chance to change yourself. Finally, people shouldn't have regrets(遗憾) for things they didn't do."
