參考答案與解析

（一）

“我”自以為在美國干過17年的教育到中國教授英國文學(xué)完全可以得心應(yīng)手?？墒怯捎谥忻牢幕牟煌?，“我”卻很被動。第一節(jié)自認(rèn)為很成功卻被同學(xué)認(rèn)為“我”什么也沒有講。在他們眼中，老師的工作應(yīng)盡可能直接清楚地提供準(zhǔn)確的信息，并不像在美國那樣老師的工作是提有趣的問題，提供有關(guān)背景知識以便讓學(xué)生自己得出結(jié)論。觀念完全不同。

1. A。從“我”自認(rèn)為會非常成功等來看，這應(yīng)歸功于“我”在美國教書17年的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

2. D。此處說“我”在美國教書17年，“我”對課堂上吸引學(xué)生的注意力（hold ones attention） 及講授英國文學(xué)方面的能力是充滿自信的。

3. C。從后面的 and the entire class rose 和 …h(huán)ow to get them to sit down again等來看，此處說的是當(dāng)老師上課時(shí)班長喊“起立”的動作讓“我”很震驚。

4. C。本文寫的是“我”在中國講授美國文學(xué)時(shí)所發(fā)生的故事。根據(jù)中國課堂實(shí)際，教師走進(jìn)課堂班長喊“起立”，故此處應(yīng)選 entered。

5. B。由下文特別“我”把這一情況看作是尷尬等可知，“我”不適應(yīng)這種喊“起立”的場面，竟一時(shí)不知怎樣讓學(xué)生坐下。be puzzled意為“迷惑，不知所措”。

6. C此處說的是尷尬過后，“我”迅速鎮(zhèn)定下來，開始講已備好的課。regain ones calmness 指“平靜下來”。

7. C。由第一段最后提到的，“我”很自信能吸引學(xué)生的注意力等以及此空前句 I quickly…a fact-packed lecture來看，（“我”認(rèn)為）一定（sure）會贏得他們的尊敬—甚至是他們的羨慕”。

8. B。從上面的“會贏得學(xué)生的尊敬甚至他們的羨慕”以及 the rosy glow來看，此處說當(dāng)“我”回到辦公室時(shí)有一種“成就”感。

9. B。前面說自己有成就感，此處說通過看學(xué)生日記，得知學(xué)生對那節(jié)課評價(jià)并不高，與“我”原先的想法大不一樣，故此處用 however 表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

10. C。由學(xué)生的日記可看出，他們對“我”的那節(jié)課評價(jià)不高，甚至認(rèn)為那節(jié)課什么也沒講，因此原先的 the rosy glow 就漸漸被 a strong sense of sadness 所取代（replaced）了。

11. B。由上下文可知這是“我”到中國教書時(shí)所發(fā)生的事，第一節(jié)課因不適應(yīng)而出現(xiàn)了尷尬局面，此處說的是學(xué)生日記中的希望，即也許她的下一節(jié)課會更好。lecture 指大學(xué)里的“（講授）課”。

12. D。從第一個(gè)學(xué)生日記中寫的 Our literature teacher didnt teach anything today 到后面的“我”的自問 Didnt teach anything 等來看，所有的學(xué)生都表達(dá)了一個(gè)相似的問題—老師什么也沒講，故此處用similar。由于其前冠詞為 a，故用 similar。若冠詞為 the，則可選 same。

13. B?！拔摇闭J(rèn)為課備得很好，課后“自我”感覺良好，而這些日記告訴“我”那節(jié)課上得很糟糕，此處說的是“我”抱怨的話。

14. B。前面談的是“我”對那節(jié)課的感受，這里談的是一個(gè)學(xué)期下來，“我”終于明白了學(xué)生為什么認(rèn)為“我”那節(jié)課沒講什么的原因了，即“我的有關(guān)教育的看法與我的學(xué)生的看法不同”已很清楚了，故用 clear。

15. B。根據(jù)詞語搭配和“老師”的職責(zé)可知，此處用raise，句意為“我”認(rèn)為老師的工作就是“提”一些有趣的問題，給他們提供足夠的背景以讓他們自己得出結(jié)論。

16. D。根據(jù)搭配習(xí)慣，此處應(yīng)選 draw，構(gòu)成短語 draw conclusions。

17. C。與“我”的觀點(diǎn)相反，“我”的學(xué)生認(rèn)為老師的職責(zé)就是盡可能直接、清楚地為學(xué)生提供準(zhǔn)確的信息。

18. B?！拔摇睂逃目捶ê汀拔摇钡膶W(xué)生對教育的看法形成鮮明對比，故用 difference。

19. B此處說的是“我”的教學(xué)實(shí)踐（經(jīng)驗(yàn)）使“我”成為一名更好的教師。

20. C。這里是說：“我”的經(jīng)驗(yàn)使“我”能夠知道怎樣在不同的文化背景中教書了。

（二）

1. B。地球上的資源應(yīng)是自然的，且下文也出現(xiàn)了 natural resources。

2. C。以前人們不注意保護(hù)環(huán)境，但如今“不同了”。

3. A。我們正在過快地“用完”自然資源。

4. D。/

5. B。我們在過快地用完自然資源的“同時(shí)”我們也在用化學(xué)物質(zhì)“污染”環(huán)境。

6. A。從句意看，如果我們“繼續(xù)”污染環(huán)境的話，地球上的人類將不能生存。

7. C。我們污染環(huán)境，當(dāng)然是對“地球上”的人有影響。

8. D。fish 是可數(shù)名詞。

9. B。如果我們從海中捕撈太多的魚，不久就不會有魚“剩下”。

10. A?，F(xiàn)在的捕魚方法是越來越“現(xiàn)代化”。

11. C。魚只能是被“捕撈”。

12. D。從下文中的 we continue to cut down trees 可知，此處應(yīng)是越來越多的樹被cut down。

13. B。種東西應(yīng)該是在“土地上”。

14. C。從句首的“yet”可以看出，我們?nèi)匀辉诳撤ァ霸絹碓蕉嗟摹睒洹?/p>

15. A。從句子意思看，此句是表轉(zhuǎn)折，再加之空缺處又用了逗號隔開，所以選 however（然而）。

16. D。現(xiàn)在還“沒有”法律來阻止廢水直接流入河中或海洋。

17. C。被污染的國家以現(xiàn)在的比率“增加”的話，幾年后，我們的糧食將會短缺。

18. B。解決問題只能用“solve”。

19. A。用來種莊稼的土地能夠“養(yǎng)活”更多的人。

20. D。教育人們“思考”文章中出現(xiàn)的問題。
