【解析】

【文章大意】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己在哈佛大学参加学习课程时的所见所感。

【1】根据语境可知，作者非常感激(appreciated)自己能有在那里学习的机会。accept＂接受＂；recall＂回忆起＂；favor＂支持＂。

【2】根据语境及空后的＂my horizons greatly＂可知，这次学习经历极大地开阔了作者的眼界。broaden one’s horizons＂开阔某人的眼界＂为固定用法。satisfy＂满足＂；limit＂限制＂；improve＂改善，提高＂。

【3】 根据语境可知，作者所上的所有课程(courses)均是同人文相关的，因此作者把许多时间都花在了在哈佛大学的图书馆里读书上。challenge＂挑战＂；routine＂惯例，常规＂。

【4】参见上题解析。devote sth. to sth.＂把……花在……上＂。attach＂贴，附上＂；expose＂暴露＂；attract＂吸引＂。

【5】当作者在那里时，作者(学习得)很开心。此处表示＂当……时＂，故用while引导时间状语从句。

【6】根据空后的＂over time＂可知，作者喜欢阅读随着时间的推移已变得泛黄(yellowed)的书籍。abandon＂抛弃＂；revise＂修订＂；discover＂发觉，发现＂。

【7】根据语境可知，当哈佛大学的图书馆第一次映入作者眼帘的时候，作者满怀敬意地看着它，对它那新古典主义的设计印象深刻。come into view＂映入眼帘，进入视野＂。come into effect＂开始生效＂；come into power＂开始执政＂；come into existence＂开始存在＂。

【8】参见上题解析。be deeply impressed by...＂对……印象深刻＂。

【9】作者突然想到，正如希腊庙宇是神殿一样，哈佛大学图书馆是知识的殿堂。just＂正好，恰好＂，符合语境。

【10】参见上题解析。knowledge＂知识＂，符合语境。

【11】根据上文的＂On opening a pair of heavy elegant metal doors＂和下文的＂in warm light＂可知，一打开厚重的金属门，作者就沐浴(bathed)在温暖的光照中。involved＂与……有关联＂；trapped＂陷入困境的＂；absorbed＂全神贯注的＂。

【12】根据作者描述图书馆时抒发的赞叹之情可知，此处表示作者漫步于令人敬畏的(awesome)图书馆中。satisfactory＂令人满意的＂； comfortable＂令人舒服的＂；plain＂朴素的＂。

【13】根据语境可知，尤其(especially)引起作者的兴趣的是捐赠者Widener。考生易误选A项。successfully＂成功地＂用在此处表示成功引起作者兴趣的是……，而空前的＂finding one treasure after another＂暗指作者对很多东西感兴趣，故successfully用在此处与语境不符。

【14】根据下文的＂one of his most precious collections＂可知，Widener痴迷于收藏(collecting)罕见的古书。research＂研究＂；introduce＂介绍，引入＂；copy＂抄写＂。

【15】 他最珍贵的藏书之一立刻吸引了作者的注意力(attention)。空前的＂immediately＂是暗示。

【16】 根据语境可知，这本有着500年历史的书安静地炫耀着它金色的字母。show off＂炫耀＂，用在此处有拟人化的色彩。bring on＂导致，引起＂；apply to ＂应用＂；set aside＂留出＂。

【17】根据语境可知，这本书体现了哈佛大学作为历史沉淀的思想的守护者和贡献者的角色(role)。

【18】 根据下文的＂One can hear the rustling(沙沙声) of pens on paper...＂可知，哈佛大学的图书馆是非常安静的(silent)。holy＂神圣的＂；superb＂宏伟的＂。

【19】 根据上文的＂One can hear the rustling(沙沙声) of pens on paper...＂可知，由于学生们在图书馆里专心地(attentively)学习，人们(甚至)可以听到钢笔在纸上摩擦的沙沙声。obviously＂显然地＂。

【20】 对于作者而言，该图书馆和(他所参加的)课程一样彰显了哈佛大学是汇聚专心致志的学者的地方。explain＂阐明，表明＂符合语境。elect＂选举＂；appoint＂任命＂；expand＂扩张＂。
