解析
36. A。前一句话的意思是:我是八年前最后见到这个人,后一句话的意思是我忘不了,由意思可知两句间是转折关系,所以选although(虽然)。 37. B。special强调与众不同的,particular强调同类事物中的不同属性,由紧接着的内容知文章主要讲的是他的与众不同之处。 38. D。下文主要讲的是他的敬业精神以及为教育做出的贡献,devotion to something “对……贡献……”,与下文相通。 39. C。believe in“相信”;insist on doing“坚持……”;talk about“谈论”;agree with“同意”,由他能够解释自己的观点,并能用各种方式证明,这就说明他能证明自己的观点,相信自己的观点是有道理的,由此选到C,agree with用于别人就同意自己的观点,排除。 40. A。由下文知,他利用油画、音乐、演讲等形象的事物来解释他抽象的观点,可见他的解释方式很丰富多彩,imaginative“富有想象力的”;ordinary“一般的”;opposite“相反的”;open“公开的”,A项与语境最符合。 41. B。他唱歌的目的是阐明观点,同样利用那些辅助的事物(油画、音乐……)也是为了阐明观点,帮助学生理解。 42. C。前面讲的辅助事物是外界的,唱歌是自身的才艺,方式更进一步,所以用even。 43. B。secondly“其次”,承接上文的firstly和下文的finally。 44. D。on the telephone="by" telephone通过电话。 45. A。由上下文可知这里主要讲的是他和学生打成一片,invite somebody to a game of chess“邀某人下棋”符合语境。 46. C。as a matter of face“实际”,later on“随后”,other times“其他的时间”,in general“大体;一般”,这里列举的是他和学生打成一片的另一个例子,用other times合语境。 47. B。根据冒号后解释的内容agriculture, diving and mathematics可知这里只提到了他们谈论的主题,所以选subject(题目,主题)。 48. D。选项中只有advice说得通,…for advice on their studies“求教一些学习的建议”。 49. C。文章先讲了敬佩他的敬业精神,再讲敬佩他严谨的教学态度,这里是讲被他的诙谐的幽默所吸引。 50. D。unless除非……,否则(不)…… 51. C。师生共同分享…… 52. A。loud laugh的意思是大声笑。 53. B。enjoyable=interesting“有趣的”。 54. D。It is true that S+V……是真的。 55. C。then(常用句首或句尾)“那么”。 |
