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

(1)

句意:他们没有预约,走到了哈佛大学校长办公室的外面。

(2)

句意:但是他们被(校长的)一个秘书拦住,不得不(在办公室外)等候。

(3)

句意:几个小时,那位秘书不去注意他们,希望那对夫妇最后会失望而走开。本句中用现在分词hoping作状语。本句还可表达为:For hours,the secretary took no notice of him and hoped that the couple would……

(4)

A项:感到奇怪;B项:感到失望;C项:感到担心;D项:感到麻烦。

(5)

句意:最后秘书决定打扰一下校长,虽然他不情愿。though是解本题的关键。

(6)

根据下文校长的反应,可以判断当时那位校长的表情不可能pleasant(令人高兴的),funny(可笑的),也不会因有人来访而sad(悲伤)。

(7)

句意:我们有个儿子,曾就读于哈佛大学一年。C项应在其后面加in;尽管B、D两项为及物动词但语意不对。

(8)

句意:他热爱哈佛(大学),并为在此就读而感到骄傲。

(9)

句意:我丈夫和我愿意在校园的某个地方为他建一个纪念物。set about开始,着手;set up建立;take down把……拆卸开;take over接手,接任,接管。

(10)

解本题时,留意下句中的副词instead至关重要。instead意为:却,表示转折。按常理讲,这位校长当听到这对夫妇讲述已故的儿子因在该校就读而自豪,打算在该校为儿子建立一建筑物时,就为此感到moved(感动),而不是satisfied(满意),excited(激动),ashamed(羞愧)。

(11)

句意:如果我们那样做的话,这个地方看上去就象墓地了。

(12)

由于那位校长误解了那位女士的话(从下文可得知,女士要为哈佛大学出资建楼),所以那位女士立即解释说:“我们不想立碑,而是……”

(13)

由第二段倒数第一句可知那对夫妇为了怀念他已去世的儿子想建一个memorial(纪念物),可排除yard(院子)、square(广场)和playground(操场)

(14)

glanced(瞥视,匆匆一看)能反应出校长对那对夫妇的藐视,真可谓“狗眼看人低”。另外由于与本空并列的动词exclaimed(由于惊讶而惊呼)的存在可排除shout(at)和called(at)两词;laugh at为“讥笑”不合题义。

(15)

have an/any idea=know

(16)

由于那对夫妇的沉默,校长认为可以摆脱他们了,所以校长高兴了,而不是bored(烦了),astonished(吃惊),interested(感兴趣)。

(17)

句意:那(即$7,500,000)就是开办一所大学的所有费用吗?A项department(部门)business(商业业务),club(俱乐部)不合本句及文章的意思。

(18)

since在本句是既然的意思,其他三项没有此意思。本句句意:既然他们的请求遭到拒绝,Stanford夫妇去了加州……。

(19)

句意:在加州他们建立了那所大学,那所大学(即斯坦福大学)可以带有他们的姓氏的存在,并纪念了他们的儿子-哈佛大学不再关心的学生。

(20)

  talk about谈论;know about了解;hear about听说;care about关心,在乎

  本文介绍了斯坦福大学的由来。一对夫妇为了纪念已故的曾就读于哈佛大学的儿子。请求校方同意他们在哈佛大学盖一幢楼,却遭到了学校校长的拒绝和讥讽,最后他们去了加利福尼亚创建了斯坦福大学。

  To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor, you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students, you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

   5 a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is 9 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 10 that he will indeed be able to act 11 on the stage, for there are very important 12 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 13 words each time he plays a certain part, 14 his movements and the way in which he uses his voice are usually 15 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 16 on the stage.

  A good teacher 17 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 18 :they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t obey something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 19 it as he goes along.

  I have known many teachers who were fine 20 in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline(规定): they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

This year's recipients have to be non-smokers, non-drinkers, and frugal(节俭)as well. ___4___ who is silly enough to use the scholarship money ___5___ friends to meals could face the hope of having ___6___ taken back.

  The assessment process(评估过程)was ___7___. The applicant(申请者)was asked to do two things:___8___ a short speech about study, campus life and family conditions; and take part in a question and answer meeting with the organizations in charge.

  ___9___ how the money should be spent, however, ___10___ differ. Some students say that it's natural, even___11___, for a winner to invite friends to a celebration, usually a meal.

  The scholarship winners themselves did not seem to agree.“I object to ___12___ the money on a big dinner for friends. ___13___ the winners who are from poor families should make good use of the money and not waste it,”said Si Guangrong, one of the winners, who said she ___14___ use it for her postgraduate study.

  A bit more ___15___ views came from Li Xiao, of the university's Students' Affairs Office:“How they spend the scholarship money is ___16___ a private matter and they're free to spend it ___17___ different ways. But they'd better use it properly and in an economic way.”

  To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor, you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students, you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

   5 a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is 9 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 10 that he will indeed be able to act 11 on the stage, for there are very important 12 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 13 words each time he plays a certain part, 14 his movements and the way in which he uses his voice are usually 15 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 16 on the stage.

  A good teacher 17 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 18 :they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t obey something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 19 it as he goes along.

  I have known many teachers who were fine 20 in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline(规定): they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
